Class ScopedProxyFactoryBean

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyConfig
          org.springframework.aop.scope.ScopedProxyFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, BeanFactoryAware, FactoryBean<Object>

    public class ScopedProxyFactoryBean

extends ProxyConfig
implements FactoryBean<Object>, BeanFactoryAware

Convenient proxy factory bean for scoped objects.

Proxies created using this factory bean are thread-safe singletons and may be injected into shared objects, with transparent scoping behavior.

Proxies returned by this class implement the `ScopedObject` interface. This presently allows for removing the corresponding object from the scope, seamlessly creating a new instance in the scope on next access.

Please note that the proxies created by this factory are class-based proxies by default. This can be customized through switching the "proxyTargetClass" property to "false".

  2.0

Constructor Summary
`ScopedProxyFactoryBean()` Create a new ScopedProxyFactoryBean instance.

Method Summary
`Object` `getObject()` Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object managed by this factory.
`Class<?>` `getObjectType()` Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or `null` if not known in advance.
`boolean` `isSingleton()` Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will `FactoryBean.getObject()` always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?
`void` `setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)` Callback that supplies the owning factory to a bean instance.
`void` `setTargetBeanName(String targetBeanName)` Set the name of the bean that is to be scoped.

Constructor Detail

### ScopedProxyFactoryBean

    public ScopedProxyFactoryBean()

  Create a new ScopedProxyFactoryBean instance.

Method Detail

### setTargetBeanName

    public void setTargetBeanName(String targetBeanName)

  Set the name of the bean that is to be scoped.

### setBeanFactory

    public void setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)

  Description copied from interface: `BeanFactoryAware`
  Callback that supplies the owning factory to a bean instance.

  Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as `InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()` or a custom init-method.

  Specified by:
    `setBeanFactory` in interface `BeanFactoryAware`
  Parameters:
    `beanFactory` - owning BeanFactory (never `null`). The bean can immediately call methods on the factory.
  See Also:
    `BeanInitializationException`

### getObject

    public Object getObject()

  Description copied from interface: `FactoryBean`
  Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object managed by this factory.

  As with a `BeanFactory`, this allows support for both the Singleton and Prototype design pattern.

  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 `FactoryBeanNotInitializedException`.

  As of Spring 2.0, FactoryBeans are allowed to return `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.

  Specified by:
    `getObject` in interface `FactoryBean<Object>`
  Returns:
    an instance of the bean (can be `null`)
  See Also:
    `FactoryBeanNotInitializedException`

### getObjectType

    public Class<?> getObjectType()

  Description copied from interface: `FactoryBean`
  Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or `null` if not known in advance.

  This allows one to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

  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.

  This method can be called before 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.

  NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return `null` here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

  Specified by:
    `getObjectType` in interface `FactoryBean<Object>`
  Returns:
    the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or `null` if not known at the time of the call
  See Also:
    `ListableBeanFactory.getBeansOfType(java.lang.Class<T>)`

### isSingleton

    public boolean isSingleton()

  Description copied from interface: `FactoryBean`
  Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will `FactoryBean.getObject()` always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

  NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from `getObject()` might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return `true` unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

  The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

  NOTE: This method returning `false` does not necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances. An implementation of the extended `SmartFactoryBean` interface may explicitly indicate independent instances through its `SmartFactoryBean.isPrototype()` method. Plain `FactoryBean` implementations which do not implement this extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if the `isSingleton()` implementation returns `false`.

  Specified by:
    `isSingleton` in interface `FactoryBean<Object>`
  Returns:
    whether the exposed object is a singleton
