Class AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.AbstractBeanDefinitionParser
      org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanDefinitionParser

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractSimpleBeanDefinitionParser, TxAdviceBeanDefinitionParser

public abstract class AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser
extends AbstractBeanDefinitionParser

Base class for those BeanDefinitionParser implementations that need to parse and define just a single BeanDefinition.

Extend this parser class when you want to create a single bean definition from an arbitrarily complex XML element. You may wish to consider extending the AbstractSimpleBeanDefinitionParser when you want to create a single bean definition from a relatively simple custom XML element.

The resulting BeanDefinition will be automatically registered with the BeanDefinitionRegistry. Your job simply is to parse the custom XML Element into a single BeanDefinition.

2.0

Method Detail

parseInternal

protected final AbstractBeanDefinition parseInternal(Element element,
                                                     ParserContext parserContext)

Creates a BeanDefinitionBuilder instance for the bean Class and passes it to the doParse(org.w3c.dom.Element, org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.ParserContext, org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionBuilder) strategy method.

Specified by:

parseInternal in class AbstractBeanDefinitionParser

Parameters:

element - the element that is to be parsed into a single BeanDefinition

parserContext - the object encapsulating the current state of the parsing process

Returns:

the BeanDefinition resulting from the parsing of the supplied Element

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the bean Class returned from getBeanClass(org.w3c.dom.Element) is null

See Also:

doParse(org.w3c.dom.Element, org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.ParserContext, org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionBuilder)

getBeanClass

protected abstract Class getBeanClass(Element element)

Determine the bean class corresponding to the supplied Element.

Parameters:

element - the Element that is being parsed

Returns:

the Class of the bean that is being defined via parsing the supplied Element (must not be null)

See Also:

parseInternal(org.w3c.dom.Element, ParserContext)

doParse

protected void doParse(Element element,
                       ParserContext parserContext,
                       BeanDefinitionBuilder builder)

Parse the supplied Element and populate the supplied BeanDefinitionBuilder as required.

The default implementation delegates to the doParse version without ParserContext argument.

Parameters:

element - the XML element being parsed

parserContext - the object encapsulating the current state of the parsing process

builder - used to define the BeanDefinition

See Also:

doParse(Element, BeanDefinitionBuilder)

doParse

protected void doParse(Element element,
                       BeanDefinitionBuilder builder)

Parse the supplied Element and populate the supplied BeanDefinitionBuilder as required.

The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters:

element - the XML element being parsed

builder - used to define the BeanDefinition
