    public class XmlBeanFactory

extends DefaultListableBeanFactory

Convenience extension of `DefaultListableBeanFactory` that reads bean definitions from an XML document. Delegates to `XmlBeanDefinitionReader` underneath; effectively equivalent to using an XmlBeanDefinitionReader with a DefaultListableBeanFactory.

The structure, element and attribute names of the required XML document are hard-coded in this class. (Of course a transform could be run if necessary to produce this format). "beans" doesn't need to be the root element of the XML document: This class will parse all bean definition elements in the XML file.

This class registers each bean definition with the `DefaultListableBeanFactory` superclass, and relies on the latter's implementation of the `BeanFactory` interface. It supports singletons, prototypes, and references to either of these kinds of bean. See "spring-beans-2.0.dtd" for details on options and configuration style.

For advanced needs, consider using a `DefaultListableBeanFactory` with an `XmlBeanDefinitionReader`. The latter allows for reading from multiple XML resources and is highly configurable in its actual XML parsing behavior.
