public interface BeanClassLoaderAware
extends Aware

Callback that allows a bean to be aware of the bean class loader; that is, the class loader used by the present bean factory to load bean classes.

This is mainly intended to be implemented by framework classes which have to pick up application classes by name despite themselves potentially being loaded from a shared class loader.

For a list of all bean lifecycle methods, see the BeanFactory javadocs.

Method Detail

setBeanClassLoader

void setBeanClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

Callback that supplies the bean class loader to a bean instance.

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

Parameters:

classLoader - the owning class loader; may be null in which case a default ClassLoader must be used, for example the ClassLoader obtained via ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader()
