| Interfaces | |
|---|---|
| AliasRegistry | Common interface for managing aliases. |
| AttributeAccessor | Interface defining a generic contract for attaching and accessing metadata to/from arbitrary objects. |
| ConcurrentMap | Common interface for a concurrent Map, as exposed by createConcurrentMap(int) . |
| ControlFlow | Interface to be implemented by objects that can return information about the current call stack. |
| ErrorCoded | Interface that can be implemented by exceptions etc that are error coded. |
| Ordered | Interface that can be implemented by objects that should be orderable, for example in a Collection. |
| ParameterNameDiscoverer | Interface to discover parameter names for methods and constructors. |
| PriorityOrdered | Extension of the Ordered interface, expressing a 'priority' ordering: Order values expressed by PriorityOrdered objects always apply before order values of 'plain' Ordered values. |
| SmartClassLoader | Interface to be implemented by a reloading-aware ClassLoader (e.g. |
| Classes | |
|---|---|
| AttributeAccessorSupport | Support class for AttributeAccessors , providing a base implementation of all methods. |
| BridgeMethodResolver | Helper for resolving synthetic bridge Methods to the Method being bridged. |
| CollectionFactory | Factory for collections, being aware of Commons Collection 3.x's extended collections as well as of JDK 1.5+ concurrent collections and backport-concurrent collections. |
| Constants | This class can be used to parse other classes containing constant definitions in public static final members. |
| ControlFlowFactory | Static factory to conceal the automatic choice of the ControlFlow implementation class. |
| Conventions | Provides methods to support various naming and other conventions used throughout the framework. |
| DecoratingClassLoader | Base class for decorating ClassLoaders such as OverridingClassLoader and ShadowingClassLoader , providing common handling of excluded packages and classes. |
| GenericCollectionTypeResolver | Helper class for determining element types of collections and maps. |
| GenericTypeResolver | Helper class for resolving generic types against type variables. |
| JdkVersion | Internal helper class used to find the Java/JDK version that Spring is operating on, to allow for automatically adapting to the present platform's capabilities. |
| LocalVariableTableParameterNameDiscoverer | Implementation of ParameterNameDiscoverer that uses the LocalVariableTable information in the method attributes to discover parameter names. |
| MethodParameter | Helper class that encapsulates the specification of a method parameter, i.e. |
| NamedInheritableThreadLocal | InheritableThreadLocal subclass that exposes a specified name as toString() result (allowing for introspection). |
| NamedThreadLocal | ThreadLocal subclass that exposes a specified name as toString() result (allowing for introspection). |
| NestedExceptionUtils | Helper class for implementing exception classes which are capable of holding nested exceptions. |
| OrderComparator | Comparator implementation for Ordered objects, sorting by order value ascending (resp. |
| OverridingClassLoader | ClassLoader that does not always delegate to the
parent loader, as normal class loaders do. |
| PrioritizedParameterNameDiscoverer | ParameterNameDiscoverer implementation that tries several ParameterNameDiscoverers in succession. |
| ReflectiveVisitorHelper | Helper implementation for a reflective visitor. |
| SimpleAliasRegistry | Simple implementation of the AliasRegistry interface. |
| SpringVersion | Class that exposes the Spring version. |
| Exceptions | |
|---|---|
| ConstantException | Exception thrown when the Constants class is asked for an invalid constant name. |
| NestedCheckedException | Handy class for wrapping checked Exceptions with a root cause. |
| NestedIOException | Subclass of IOException that properly handles a root cause, exposing the root cause just like NestedChecked/RuntimeException does. |
| NestedRuntimeException | Handy class for wrapping runtime Exceptions with a root cause. |
