```
    Description copied from interface: BeanDefinition
    
    Override the bean class name of this bean definition.

    Specified by:
    
    setBeanClassName in interface BeanDefinition
  - getBeanClassName
```
public String getBeanClassName()
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanDefinition
    
    Return the current bean class name of this bean definition.
    Note that this does not have to be the actual class name used at runtime, in case of a child definition overriding/inheriting the class name from its parent. Hence, do not consider this to be the definitive bean type at runtime but rather only use it for parsing purposes at the individual bean definition level.

    ClassNotFoundException - if the class name could be resolved
  - setScope
```
public void setScope(String scope)
```
    Set the name of the target scope for the bean.
    Default is singleton status, although this is only applied once a bean definition becomes active in the containing factory. A bean definition may eventually inherit its scope from a parent bean definitionFor this reason, the default scope name is empty (empty String), with singleton status being assumed until a resolved scope will be set.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setScope in interface BeanDefinition
    
    See Also:
    BeanDefinition.SCOPE_SINGLETON, BeanDefinition.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE

```
@Deprecated
public void setSingleton(boolean singleton)
```
    Deprecated. since Spring 2.5, in favor of setScope(java.lang.String)
    
    Set if this a Singleton, with a single, shared instance returned on all calls. In case of "false", the BeanFactory will apply the Prototype design pattern, with each caller requesting an instance getting an independent instance. How this is exactly defined will depend on the BeanFactory.
    "Singletons" are the commoner type, so the default is "true". Note that as of Spring 2.0, this flag is just an alternative way to specify scope="singleton" or scope="prototype".
    
    See Also:
    setScope(java.lang.String), BeanDefinition.SCOPE_SINGLETON, BeanDefinition.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE

  - setAbstract
```
public void setAbstract(boolean abstractFlag)
```
    Set if this bean is "abstract", i.e. not meant to be instantiated itself but rather just serving as parent for concrete child bean definitions.
    Default is "false". Specify true to tell the bean factory to not try to instantiate that particular bean in any case.
  - isAbstract

    Specified by:
    
    setLazyInit in interface BeanDefinition
  - isLazyInit
```
public boolean isLazyInit()
```
    Return whether this bean should be lazily initialized, i.e. not eagerly instantiated on startup. Only applicable to a singleton bean.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isLazyInit in interface BeanDefinition
  - setAutowireMode

public void setDependsOn(String[] dependsOn)
```
    Set the names of the beans that this bean depends on being initialized. The bean factory will guarantee that these beans get initialized first.
    Note that dependencies are normally expressed through bean properties or constructor arguments. This property should just be necessary for other kinds of dependencies like statics (*ugh*) or database preparation on startup.

public void setNonPublicAccessAllowed(boolean nonPublicAccessAllowed)
```
    Specify whether to allow access to non-public constructors and methods, for the case of externalized metadata pointing to those.
    This applies to constructor resolution, factory method resolution, and also init/destroy methods. Bean property accessors have to be public in any case and are not affected by this setting.
    Note that annotation-driven configuration will still access non-public members as far as they have been annotated. This setting applies to externalized metadata in this bean definition only.
