## org.springframework.beans.factory.xml
Class NamespaceHandlerSupport

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.NamespaceHandlerSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:
  NamespaceHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:
  AopNamespaceHandler, CacheNamespaceHandler, ContextNamespaceHandler, JdbcNamespaceHandler, JeeNamespaceHandler, JmsNamespaceHandler, LangNamespaceHandler, MvcNamespaceHandler, OxmNamespaceHandler, TaskNamespaceHandler, TxNamespaceHandler, UtilNamespaceHandler

    public abstract class NamespaceHandlerSupport

extends java.lang.Object
implements NamespaceHandler

Support class for implementing custom `NamespaceHandlers`. Parsing and decorating of individual `Nodes` is done via `BeanDefinitionParser` and `BeanDefinitionDecorator` strategy interfaces, respectively.

Provides the `registerBeanDefinitionParser(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionParser)` and `registerBeanDefinitionDecorator(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.BeanDefinitionDecorator)` methods for registering a `BeanDefinitionParser` or `BeanDefinitionDecorator` to handle a specific element.

Since:
  2.0
Author:
  Rob Harrop, Juergen Hoeller

  `registerBeanDefinitionParser(String, BeanDefinitionParser)`, `registerBeanDefinitionDecorator(String, BeanDefinitionDecorator)`

Constructor Summary
`NamespaceHandlerSupport()`

Method Summary
`BeanDefinitionHolder` | `decorate(org.w3c.dom.Node node, BeanDefinitionHolder definition, ParserContext parserContext)` Decorates the supplied `Node` by delegating to the `BeanDefinitionDecorator` that is registered to handle that `Node`.
`BeanDefinition` | `parse(org.w3c.dom.Element element, ParserContext parserContext)` Parses the supplied `Element` by delegating to the `BeanDefinitionParser` that is registered for that `Element`.
`protected void` | `registerBeanDefinitionDecorator(java.lang.String elementName, BeanDefinitionDecorator dec)` Subclasses can call this to register the supplied `BeanDefinitionDecorator` to handle the specified element.
`protected void` | `registerBeanDefinitionDecoratorForAttribute(java.lang.String attrName, BeanDefinitionDecorator dec)` Subclasses can call this to register the supplied `BeanDefinitionDecorator` to handle the specified attribute.
`protected void` | `registerBeanDefinitionParser(java.lang.String elementName, BeanDefinitionParser parser)` Subclasses can call this to register the supplied `BeanDefinitionParser` to handle the specified element.

Method Detail

### parse

    public BeanDefinition parse(org.w3c.dom.Element element,
                                ParserContext parserContext)

  Parses the supplied `Element` by delegating to the `BeanDefinitionParser` that is registered for that `Element`.

  Specified by:
    `parse` in interface `NamespaceHandler`
  Parameters:
    `element` - the element that is to be parsed into one or more `BeanDefinitions`
    `parserContext` - the object encapsulating the current state of the parsing process
  Returns:
    the primary `BeanDefinition` (can be `null` as explained above)

### decorate

    public BeanDefinitionHolder decorate(org.w3c.dom.Node node,
                                         BeanDefinitionHolder definition,
                                         ParserContext parserContext)

  Decorates the supplied `Node` by delegating to the `BeanDefinitionDecorator` that is registered to handle that `Node`.

  Specified by:
    `decorate` in interface `NamespaceHandler`
  Parameters:
    `node` - the source element or attribute that is to be parsed
    `definition` - the current bean definition
    `parserContext` - the object encapsulating the current state of the parsing process
  Returns:
    the decorated definition (to be registered in the BeanFactory), or simply the original bean definition if no decoration is required. A `null` value is strictly speaking invalid, but will be leniently treated like the case where the original bean definition gets returned.

### registerBeanDefinitionParser

    protected final void registerBeanDefinitionParser(java.lang.String elementName,
                                                      BeanDefinitionParser parser)

  Subclasses can call this to register the supplied `BeanDefinitionParser` to handle the specified element. The element name is the local (non-namespace qualified) name.

### registerBeanDefinitionDecorator

    protected final void registerBeanDefinitionDecorator(java.lang.String elementName,
                                                         BeanDefinitionDecorator dec)

  Subclasses can call this to register the supplied `BeanDefinitionDecorator` to handle the specified element. The element name is the local (non-namespace qualified) name.

### registerBeanDefinitionDecoratorForAttribute

    protected final void registerBeanDefinitionDecoratorForAttribute(java.lang.String attrName,
                                                                     BeanDefinitionDecorator dec)

  Subclasses can call this to register the supplied `BeanDefinitionDecorator` to handle the specified attribute. The attribute name is the local (non-namespace qualified) name.
