一.BeanFactory
BeanFactory是Spring IOC容器的基础，是IOC容器的基础接口，所有的容器都是从它这里继承实现而来。BeanFactory提供了最基本的IOC容器的功能，即所有的容器至少需要实现的标准。BeanFactory体系结构是典型的工厂方法模式，即什么样的工厂生产什么样的产品。BeanFactory是最基本的抽象工厂，而其他的IOC容器只不过是具体的工厂，对应着各自的Bean定义方法。但同时，其他容器也针对具体场景不同，进行了扩充，提供具体的服务。
二.BeanFacory源码
1.java doc
首先是Java doc,现在阅读源码的习惯是一定要理解了java doc的描述，因为这里是作者的描述，没有人比作者更明白这个类，这个接口要干什么。
/** * The root interface for accessing a Spring bean container. * This is the basic client view of a bean container; * further interfaces such as {@link ListableBeanFactory} and * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableBeanFactory} * are available for specific purposes. * * <p>This interface is implemented by objects that hold a number of bean definitions, * each uniquely identified by a String name. Depending on the bean definition, * the factory will return either an independent instance of a contained object * (the Prototype design pattern), or a single shared instance (a superior * alternative to the Singleton design pattern, in which the instance is a * singleton in the scope of the factory). Which type of instance will be returned * depends on the bean factory configuration: the API is the same. Since Spring * 2.0, further scopes are available depending on the concrete application * context (e.g. "request" and "session" scopes in a web environment). * * <p>The point of this approach is that the BeanFactory is a central registry * of application components, and centralizes configuration of application * components (no more do individual objects need to read properties files, * for example). See chapters 4 and 11 of "Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and * Development" for a discussion of the benefits of this approach. * * <p>Note that it is generally better to rely on Dependency Injection * ("push" configuration) to configure application objects through setters * or constructors, rather than use any form of "pull" configuration like a * BeanFactory lookup. Spring's Dependency Injection functionality is * implemented using this BeanFactory interface and its subinterfaces. * * <p>Normally a BeanFactory will load bean definitions stored in a configuration * source (such as an XML document), and use the {@code org.springframework.beans} * package to configure the beans. However, an implementation could simply return * Java objects it creates as necessary directly in Java code. There are no * constraints on how the definitions could be stored: LDAP, RDBMS, XML, * properties file, etc. Implementations are encouraged to support references * amongst beans (Dependency Injection). * * <p>In contrast to the methods in {@link ListableBeanFactory}, all of the * operations in this interface will also check parent factories if this is a * {@link HierarchicalBeanFactory}. If a bean is not found in this factory instance, * the immediate parent factory will be asked. Beans in this factory instance * are supposed to override beans of the same name in any parent factory. * * <p>Bean factory implementations should support the standard bean lifecycle interfaces * as far as possible. The full set of initialization methods and their standard order is:<br> * 1. BeanNameAware's {@code setBeanName}<br> * 2. BeanClassLoaderAware's {@code setBeanClassLoader}<br> * 3. BeanFactoryAware's {@code setBeanFactory}<br> * 4. ResourceLoaderAware's {@code setResourceLoader} * (only applicable when running in an application context)<br> * 5. ApplicationEventPublisherAware's {@code setApplicationEventPublisher} * (only applicable when running in an application context)<br> * 6. MessageSourceAware's {@code setMessageSource} * (only applicable when running in an application context)<br> * 7. ApplicationContextAware's {@code setApplicationContext} * (only applicable when running in an application context)<br> * 8. ServletContextAware's {@code setServletContext} * (only applicable when running in a web application context)<br> * 9. {@code postProcessBeforeInitialization} methods of BeanPostProcessors<br> * 10. InitializingBean's {@code afterPropertiesSet}<br> * 11. a custom init-method definition<br> * 12. {@code postProcessAfterInitialization} methods of BeanPostProcessors * * <p>On shutdown of a bean factory, the following lifecycle methods apply:<br> * 1. DisposableBean's {@code destroy}<br> * 2. a custom destroy-method definition
在BeanFactory里只对IOC容器的基本行为作了定义，根本不关心你的bean是如何定义怎样加载的。正如我们只关心工厂里得到什么的产品对象，至于工厂是怎么生产这些对象的，这个基本的接口不关心。
2.源码
public interface BeanFactory { /** * Used to dereference a {@link FactoryBean} instance and distinguish it from * beans <i>created</i> by the FactoryBean. For example, if the bean named * {@code myJndiObject} is a FactoryBean, getting {@code &myJndiObject} * will return the factory, not the instance returned by the factory. */ //使用转义符&来得到FactoryBean本身，用来区分通过容器获得FactoryBean本身和其产生的对象 String FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX = "&"; //通过name来获取指定的bean Object getBean(String name) throws BeansException; //根据名字和类型来得到bean实例，增加了类型安全验证机制 <T> T getBean(String name, Class<T> requiredType) throws BeansException; //通过类型获取bean实例 <T> T getBean(Class<T> requiredType) throws BeansException; //增加更多获取的条件，同上方法 Object getBean(String name, Object... args) throws BeansException; <T> T getBean(Class<T> requiredType, Object... args) throws BeansException; //判断容器是否含有指定名字的bean boolean containsBean(String name); //查询指定名字的Bean是不是单例的Bean boolean isSingleton(String name) throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException; //判断Bean是不是prototype类型的bean boolean isPrototype(String name) throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException; //查询指定了名字的Bean的Class类型是否与指定类型匹配 boolean isTypeMatch(String name, Class<?> targetType) throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException; //获取指定名字bean的Class类型 Class<?> getType(String name) throws NoSuchBeanDefinitionException; //查询指定了名字的bean的所有别名，这些别名都是在BeanDefinition中定义的 String[] getAliases(String name); }
BeanFactory接口定义了IOC容器要实现的基本方法。
三. BeanFactory 结构体系
其中BeanFactory作为最顶层的一个接口类，它定义了IOC容器的基本功能规范，BeanFactory 三个子类：ListableBeanFactory、HierarchicalBeanFactory和AutowireCapableBeanFactory。但是从上图中我们可以发现最终的默认实现类是 DefaultListableBeanFactory，他实现了所有的接口。那为何要定义这么多层次的接口呢？查阅这些接口的源码和说明发现，每个接口都有他使用的场合，它主要是为了区分在 Spring 内部在操作过程中对象的传递和转化过程中，对对象的数据访问所做的限制。例如 ListableBeanFactory 接口表示这些 Bean是可列表的，而 HierarchicalBeanFactory 表示的是这些 Bean 是有继承关系的，也就是每个Bean有可能有父Bean。AutowireCapableBeanFactory 接口定义Bean的自动装配规则。这四个接口共同定义了Bean的集合、Bean之间的关系、以 Bean行为.
1.AutowireCapableBeanFactory
1.1Java doc文档
/** * Extension of the {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory} * interface to be implemented by bean factories that are capable of autowiring, provided that they want to expose this functionality for * existing bean instances. * * <p>This subinterface of BeanFactory is not meant to be used in normal * application code: stick to {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory} * or {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.ListableBeanFactory} for * typical use cases. * * <p>Integration code for other frameworks can leverage this interface to * wire and populate existing bean instances that Spring does not control * the lifecycle of. This is particularly useful for WebWork Actions and * Tapestry Page objects, for example. * * <p>Note that this interface is not implemented by * {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext} facades, * as it is hardly ever used by application code. That said, it is available * from an application context too, accessible through ApplicationContext's * {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext#getAutowireCapableBeanFactory()} * method. * * <p>You may also implement the {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactoryAware} * interface, which exposes the internal BeanFactory even when running in an * ApplicationContext, to get access to an AutowireCapableBeanFactory: * simply cast the passed-in BeanFactory to AutowireCapableBeanFactory. org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext#getAutowireCapableBeanFactory() */
这个工厂接口继承自BeanFacotory，它扩展了自动装配的功能，根据类定义BeanDefinition装配Bean、执行前、后处理器等。主要用它来管理ApplicationContext所不能管理的那些Bean，比如Filter，Servlet等。主要通过ApplicationContext的getAutowireCapableBeanFactory()获得实例。

1.首先几个属性，是装配策略
AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME:根据名称记性装配。
AUTOWIRE_BY_TYPE：根据类型进行装配。
AUTOWIRE_BY_CONSTRUCT：使用构造函数进行装配。
2.重点关注两类方法
Typical methods for creating and populating external bean instances。：用于创建和填充外部bean实例的典型方法
Specialized methods for fine-grained control over the bean lifecycle。专门针对bean生命周期细粒度控制的方法
2.HierarchicalBeanFactory
2.1 JAVA DOC
package org.springframework.beans.factory; /** * Sub-interface implemented by bean factories that can be part * of a hierarchy. * * <p>The corresponding {@code setParentBeanFactory} method for bean * factories that allow setting the parent in a configurable * fashion can be found in the ConfigurableBeanFactory interface. public interface HierarchicalBeanFactory extends BeanFactory { /** * Return the parent bean factory, or {@code null} if there is none. */ BeanFactory getParentBeanFactory(); /** * Return whether the local bean factory contains a bean of the given name, * ignoring beans defined in ancestor contexts. * <p>This is an alternative to {@code containsBean}, ignoring a bean * of the given name from an ancestor bean factory. * @param name the name of the bean to query * @return whether a bean with the given name is defined in the local factory * @see BeanFactory#containsBean */ boolean containsLocalBean(String name); }
3.ListableBeanFactory
3.1JAVA DOC
/** * Extension of the {@link BeanFactory} interface to be implemented by bean factories * that can enumerate all their bean instances, rather than attempting bean lookup * by name one by one as requested by clients. BeanFactory implementations that * preload all their bean definitions (such as XML-based factories) may implement * this interface. * * <p>If this is a {@link HierarchicalBeanFactory}, the return values will <i>not</i> * take any BeanFactory hierarchy into account, but will relate only to the beans * defined in the current factory. Use the {@link BeanFactoryUtils} helper class * to consider beans in ancestor factories too. * * <p>The methods in this interface will just respect bean definitions of this factory. * They will ignore any singleton beans that have been registered by other means like * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableBeanFactory}'s * {@code registerSingleton} method, with the exception of * {@code getBeanNamesOfType} and {@code getBeansOfType} which will check * such manually registered singletons too. Of course, BeanFactory's {@code getBean} * does allow transparent access to such special beans as well. However, in typical * scenarios, all beans will be defined by external bean definitions anyway, so most * applications don't need to worry about this differentiation. * * <p><b>NOTE:</b> With the exception of {@code getBeanDefinitionCount} * and {@code containsBeanDefinition}, the methods in this interface * are not designed for frequent invocation. Implementations may be slow. */
总结一下：
1.从这个工厂接口开始，可以枚举列出工厂可以生产的所有实例。
2. 而且如果是一个层次继承的工厂，则只会列出当前工厂的实例，而不会列出祖先层的实例。
