Uses of Interface
org.springframework.context.MessageSource

Packages that use MessageSource

Package	Description
org.springframework.context	This package builds on the beans package to add support for message sources and for the Observer design pattern, and the ability for application objects to obtain resources using a consistent API.
org.springframework.context.annotation	Annotation support for the Application Context, including JSR-250 "common" annotations, component-scanning, and Java-based metadata for creating Spring-managed objects.
org.springframework.context.support	Classes supporting the org.springframework.context package, such as abstract base classes for ApplicationContext implementations and a MessageSource implementation.
org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation	Support classes for integrating a JSR-303 Bean Validation provider (such as Hibernate Validator) into a Spring ApplicationContext and in particular with Spring's data binding and validation APIs.

Uses of MessageSource in org.springframework.context

Subinterfaces of MessageSource in org.springframework.context

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
interface	ApplicationContext	Central interface to provide configuration for an application.
interface	ConfigurableApplicationContext	SPI interface to be implemented by most if not all application contexts.
interface	HierarchicalMessageSource	Sub-interface of MessageSource to be implemented by objects that can resolve messages hierarchically.

Methods in org.springframework.context that return MessageSource

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
@Nullable MessageSource	HierarchicalMessageSource.getParentMessageSource()	Return the parent of this MessageSource, or null if none.

Methods in org.springframework.context with parameters of type MessageSource

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	MessageSourceAware.setMessageSource(MessageSource messageSource)	Set the MessageSource that this object runs in.
void	HierarchicalMessageSource.setParentMessageSource(@Nullable MessageSource parent)	Set the parent that will be used to try to resolve messages that this object can't resolve.

Uses of MessageSource in org.springframework.context.annotation

Classes in org.springframework.context.annotation that implement MessageSource

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AnnotationConfigApplicationContext	Standalone application context, accepting component classes as input — in particular @Configuration-annotated classes, but also plain @Component types and JSR-330 compliant classes using jakarta.inject annotations.

Uses of MessageSource in org.springframework.context.support

Classes in org.springframework.context.support that implement MessageSource

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
class	AbstractApplicationContext	Abstract implementation of the ApplicationContext interface.
class	AbstractMessageSource	Abstract implementation of the HierarchicalMessageSource interface, implementing common handling of message variants, making it easy to implement a specific strategy for a concrete MessageSource.
class	AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext	Base class for ApplicationContext implementations which are supposed to support multiple calls to AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(), creating a new internal bean factory instance every time.
class	AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext	AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext subclass that adds common handling of specified config locations.
class	AbstractResourceBasedMessageSource	Abstract base class for MessageSource implementations based on resource bundle conventions, such as ResourceBundleMessageSource and ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource.
class	AbstractXmlApplicationContext	Convenient base class for ApplicationContext implementations, drawing configuration from XML documents containing bean definitions understood by an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
class	ClassPathXmlApplicationContext	Standalone XML application context, taking the context definition files from the class path, interpreting plain paths as class path resource names that include the package path (for example, "mypackage/myresource.txt").
class	DelegatingMessageSource	Empty MessageSource that delegates all calls to the parent MessageSource.
class	FileSystemXmlApplicationContext	Standalone XML application context, taking the context definition files from the file system or from URLs, interpreting plain paths as relative file system locations (for example, "mydir/myfile.txt").
class	GenericApplicationContext	Generic ApplicationContext implementation that holds a single internal DefaultListableBeanFactory instance and does not assume a specific bean definition format.
class	GenericGroovyApplicationContext	An ApplicationContext implementation that extends GenericApplicationContext and implements GroovyObject such that beans can be retrieved with the dot de-reference syntax instead of using AbstractApplicationContext.getBean(String).
class	GenericXmlApplicationContext	Convenient application context with built-in XML support.
class	ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource	Spring-specific MessageSource implementation that accesses resource bundles using specified basenames, participating in the Spring ApplicationContext's resource loading.
class	ResourceBundleMessageSource	MessageSource implementation that accesses resource bundles using specified basenames.
class	StaticApplicationContext	ApplicationContext implementation which supports programmatic registration of beans and messages, rather than reading bean definitions from external configuration sources.
class	StaticMessageSource	Simple implementation of MessageSource which allows messages to be registered programmatically.

Methods in org.springframework.context.support that return MessageSource

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected @Nullable MessageSource	AbstractApplicationContext.getInternalParentMessageSource()	Return the internal message source of the parent context if it is an AbstractApplicationContext too; else, return the parent context itself.
@Nullable MessageSource	AbstractMessageSource.getParentMessageSource()
@Nullable MessageSource	DelegatingMessageSource.getParentMessageSource()

Methods in org.springframework.context.support with parameters of type MessageSource

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	AbstractMessageSource.setParentMessageSource(@Nullable MessageSource parent)
void	DelegatingMessageSource.setParentMessageSource(@Nullable MessageSource parent)

Constructors in org.springframework.context.support with parameters of type MessageSource

Modifier	Constructor	Description
	MessageSourceAccessor(MessageSource messageSource)	Create a new MessageSourceAccessor, using LocaleContextHolder's locale as default locale.
	MessageSourceAccessor(MessageSource messageSource, Locale defaultLocale)	Create a new MessageSourceAccessor, using the given default locale.
	MessageSourceResourceBundle(MessageSource source, Locale locale)	Create a new MessageSourceResourceBundle for the given MessageSource and Locale.
	MessageSourceResourceBundle(MessageSource source, Locale locale, ResourceBundle parent)	Create a new MessageSourceResourceBundle for the given MessageSource and Locale.

Uses of MessageSource in org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation

Methods in org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation with parameters of type MessageSource

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	LocalValidatorFactoryBean.setValidationMessageSource(MessageSource messageSource)	Specify a custom Spring MessageSource for resolving validation messages, instead of relying on JSR-303's default "ValidationMessages.properties" bundle in the classpath.

Constructors in org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation with parameters of type MessageSource

Modifier	Constructor	Description
	MessageSourceResourceBundleLocator(MessageSource messageSource)	Build a MessageSourceResourceBundleLocator for the given MessageSource.
