Class GenericBeanFactoryAccessor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.beans.factory.generic.GenericBeanFactoryAccessor

public class GenericBeanFactoryAccessor
extends Object

Simple wrapper around a ListableBeanFactory that provides typed, generics-based access to key methods. This removes the need for casting in many cases and should increase compile-time type safety.

Provides a simple mechanism for accessing all beans with a particular Annotation.
