Interface SingletonBeanRegistry

All Known Subinterfaces:
  ConfigurableBeanFactory, ConfigurableListableBeanFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory, AbstractBeanFactory, DefaultListableBeanFactory, DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry, FactoryBeanRegistrySupport, XmlBeanFactory

    public interface SingletonBeanRegistry

Interface that defines a registry for shared bean instances. Can be implemented by `BeanFactory` implementations in order to expose their singleton management facility in a uniform manner.

The `ConfigurableBeanFactory` interface extends this interface.

Since:
  2.0

Method Summary
`boolean` | `containsSingleton(java.lang.String beanName)` Check if this registry contains a singleton instance with the given name.
`java.lang.Object` | `getSingleton(java.lang.String beanName)` Return the (raw) singleton object registered under the given name.
`int` | `getSingletonCount()` Return the number of singleton beans registered in this registry.
`java.lang.String[]` | `getSingletonNames()` Return the names of singleton beans registered in this registry.
`void` | `registerSingleton(java.lang.String beanName, java.lang.Object singletonObject)` Register the given existing object as singleton in the bean registry, under the given bean name.

Method Detail

### registerSingleton

    void registerSingleton(java.lang.String beanName,
                           java.lang.Object singletonObject)

  Register the given existing object as singleton in the bean registry, under the given bean name.

  The given instance is supposed to be fully initialized; the registry will not perform any initialization callbacks (in particular, it won't call InitializingBean's `afterPropertiesSet` method). The given instance will not receive any destruction callbacks (like DisposableBean's `destroy` method) either.

  When running within a full BeanFactory: Register a bean definition instead of an existing instance if your bean is supposed to receive initialization and/or destruction callbacks.

  Typically invoked during registry configuration, but can also be used for runtime registration of singletons. As a consequence, a registry implementation should synchronize singleton access; it will have to do this anyway if it supports a BeanFactory's lazy initialization of singletons.

  Parameters:
    `beanName` - the name of the bean
    `singletonObject` - the existing singleton object
  See Also:
    `InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()`, `DisposableBean.destroy()`, `BeanDefinitionRegistry.registerBeanDefinition(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanDefinition)`

### getSingleton

    java.lang.Object getSingleton(java.lang.String beanName)

  Return the (raw) singleton object registered under the given name.

  Only checks already instantiated singletons; does not return an Object for singleton bean definitions which have not been instantiated yet.

  The main purpose of this method is to access manually registered singletons (see `registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`). Can also be used to access a singleton defined by a bean definition that already been created, in a raw fashion.

  NOTE: This lookup method is not aware of FactoryBean prefixes or aliases. You need to resolve the canonical bean name first before obtaining the singleton instance.

  Parameters:
    `beanName` - the name of the bean to look for
  Returns:
    the registered singleton object, or `null` if none found
  See Also:
    `ConfigurableListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinition(java.lang.String)`

### containsSingleton

    boolean containsSingleton(java.lang.String beanName)

  Check if this registry contains a singleton instance with the given name.

  Only checks already instantiated singletons; does not return `true` for singleton bean definitions which have not been instantiated yet.

  The main purpose of this method is to check manually registered singletons (see `registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`). Can also be used to check whether a singleton defined by a bean definition has already been created.

  To check whether a bean factory contains a bean definition with a given name, use ListableBeanFactory's `containsBeanDefinition`. Calling both `containsBeanDefinition` and `containsSingleton` answers whether a specific bean factory contains a local bean instance with the given name.

  Use BeanFactory's `containsBean` for general checks whether the factory knows about a bean with a given name (whether manually registered singleton instance or created by bean definition), also checking ancestor factories.

  NOTE: This lookup method is not aware of FactoryBean prefixes or aliases. You need to resolve the canonical bean name first before checking the singleton status.

  Parameters:
    `beanName` - the name of the bean to look for
  Returns:
    if this bean factory contains a singleton instance with the given name
  See Also:
    `registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`, `ListableBeanFactory.containsBeanDefinition(java.lang.String)`, `BeanFactory.containsBean(java.lang.String)`

### getSingletonNames

    java.lang.String[] getSingletonNames()

  Return the names of singleton beans registered in this registry.

  Only checks already instantiated singletons; does not return names for singleton bean definitions which have not been instantiated yet.

  The main purpose of this method is to check manually registered singletons (see `registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`). Can also be used to check which singletons defined by a bean definition have already been created.

  Returns:
    the list of names as a String array (never `null`)
  See Also:
    `registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`, `BeanDefinitionRegistry.getBeanDefinitionNames()`, `ListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinitionNames()`

### getSingletonCount

    int getSingletonCount()

  Return the number of singleton beans registered in this registry.

  Only checks already instantiated singletons; does not count singleton bean definitions which have not been instantiated yet.

  The main purpose of this method is to check manually registered singletons (see `registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`). Can also be used to count the number of singletons defined by a bean definition that have already been created.

  Returns:
    the number of singleton beans
  See Also:
    `registerSingleton(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`, `BeanDefinitionRegistry.getBeanDefinitionCount()`, `ListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinitionCount()`
