FactoryBean

参考FactoryBean（一）和FactoryBean(二），进行总结

FactoryBean

作用

自定义Bean的创建过程

定义

public interface FactoryBean<T> {

	/**
	 * Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object
	 * managed by this factory.
	 * <p>As with a {@link BeanFactory}, this allows support for both the
	 * Singleton and Prototype design pattern.
	 * <p>If this FactoryBean is not fully initialized yet at the time of
	 * the call (for example because it is involved in a circular reference),
	 * throw a corresponding {@link FactoryBeanNotInitializedException}.
	 * <p>As of Spring 2.0, FactoryBeans are allowed to return {@code null}
	 * objects. The factory will consider this as normal value to be used; it
	 * will not throw a FactoryBeanNotInitializedException in this case anymore.
	 * FactoryBean implementations are encouraged to throw
	 * FactoryBeanNotInitializedException themselves now, as appropriate.
	 * @return an instance of the bean (can be {@code null})
	 * @throws Exception in case of creation errors
	 * @see FactoryBeanNotInitializedException
	 */
	@Nullable
	T getObject() throws Exception;

	/**
	 * Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates,
	 * or {@code null} if not known in advance.
	 * <p>This allows one to check for specific types of beans without
	 * instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.
	 * <p>In the case of implementations that are creating a singleton object,
	 * this method should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible;
	 * it should rather estimate the type in advance.
	 * For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.
	 * <p>This method can be called <i>before</i> this FactoryBean has
	 * been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during
	 * initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.
	 * <p><b>NOTE:</b> Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return
	 * {@code null} here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement
	 * this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.
	 * @return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates,
	 * or {@code null} if not known at the time of the call
	 * @see ListableBeanFactory#getBeansOfType
	 */
	@Nullable
	Class<?> getObjectType();

	/**
	 * Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is,
	 * will {@link #getObject()} always return the same object
	 * (a reference that can be cached)?
	 * <p><b>NOTE:</b> If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object,
	 * the object returned from {@code getObject()} might get cached
	 * by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return {@code true}
	 * unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.
	 * <p>The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally
	 * be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be
	 * defined as singleton there.
	 * <p><b>NOTE:</b> This method returning {@code false} does not
	 * necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances.
	 * An implementation of the extended {@link SmartFactoryBean} interface
	 * may explicitly indicate independent instances through its
	 * {@link SmartFactoryBean#isPrototype()} method. Plain {@link FactoryBean}
	 * implementations which do not implement this extended interface are
	 * simply assumed to always return independent instances if the
	 * {@code isSingleton()} implementation returns {@code false}.
	 * <p>The default implementation returns {@code true}, since a
	 * {@code FactoryBean} typically manages a singleton instance.
	 * @return whether the exposed object is a singleton
	 * @see #getObject()
	 * @see SmartFactoryBean#isPrototype()
