使用 BeanDefinition 描述 Spring Bean

什么是BeanDefinition

在Java中，一切皆对象。在JDK中使用 java.lang.Class 来描述 类 这个对象。

在Spring中，存在 bean 这样一个概念，那Spring又是怎么抽象 bean 这个概念，用什么类来描述 bean 这个对象呢？Spring使用 BeanDefinition 来描述 bean 。

BeanDefinition

BeanDefinition 继承了 AttributeAccessor 和 BeanMetadataElement 接口。在Spring中充斥着大量的各种接口，每种接口都拥有不同的能力，某个类实现了某个接口，也就相应的拥有了某种能力。

AttributeAccessor

顾名思义，这是一个属性访问者，它提供了访问属性的能力。

BeanMetadataElement

BeanMetadataElement 中只有一个方法，用来获取元数据元素的配置源对象：

public interface BeanMetadataElement {
    @Nullable
    Object getSource();
}

BeanDefinition

BeanDefinition 接口是Spring对 bean 的抽象。

我们可以从源码中可以看出，Spring是怎么描述一个 bean ：

public interface BeanDefinition extends AttributeAccessor, BeanMetadataElement {

    /**
     * Scope identifier for the standard singleton scope: "singleton".
     * <p>Note that extended bean factories might support further scopes.
     *
     * @see #setScope
     */
    String SCOPE_SINGLETON = ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_SINGLETON;

    /**
     * Scope identifier for the standard prototype scope: "prototype".
     * <p>Note that extended bean factories might support further scopes.
     *
     * @see #setScope
     */
    String SCOPE_PROTOTYPE = ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE;


    /**
     * Role hint indicating that a {@code BeanDefinition} is a major part
     * of the application. Typically corresponds to a user-defined bean.
     */
    int ROLE_APPLICATION = 0;

    /**

     * part of some larger configuration, typically an outer
     * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ComponentDefinition}.
     * {@code SUPPORT} beans are considered important enough to be aware
     * of when looking more closely at a particular

     * but not when looking at the overall configuration of an application.
     */
    int ROLE_SUPPORT = 1;

    /**

     * entirely background role and has no relevance to the end-user. This hint is

AnnotatedBeanDefinition

AnnotatedBeanDefinition 继承了 BeanDefinition ，拓展了 BeanDefinition 接口的能力：

BeanDefinition常见实现类

• ChildBeanDefinition
• RootBeanDefinition
• GenericBeanDefinition
• AnnotatedGenericBeanDefinition
• ScannedGenericBeanDefinition

BeanDefinitionBuilder

BeanDefinitionBuilder 是Builder模式的应用。通过这个类我们可以方便的构建 BeanDefinition 的实例对象。举个例子：

@Component
public class MyBeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor implements BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor {

    @Override
    public void postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) throws BeansException {
        BeanDefinition beanDefinition = BeanDefinitionBuilder.genericBeanDefinition(OrderService.class)
                //这里的属性名是根据setter方法
                .addPropertyReference("dao", "orderDao")
                .setInitMethodName("init")
                .setScope(BeanDefinition.SCOPE_SINGLETON)
                .getBeanDefinition();

        registry.registerBeanDefinition("orderService", beanDefinition);

    }

    @Override
    public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException {
        //do nothing
    }
}

关于 BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor ，这里先简单介绍一下，详细的我们后面再说。

BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor 继承了 BeanFactoryPostProcessor 接口，同时又增加了一个新的方法 BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor#postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry ，该方法允许程序员通过代码编码的方式手动往程序中注册 BeanDefinition 。
