+ Other <interfacename>Aware</interfacename> interfaces
+
+ Besides ApplicationContextAware and
+ BeanNameAware discussed above, Spring offers a range
+ of Aware interfaces that allow beans
+ to indicate to the container that they require a certain infrastructure dependency.
+ The most important Aware interfaces are summarized below - as a general rule,
+ the name is a good indication of the dependency type:

+
+ ApplicationContextAware
+ Declaring ApplicationContext

+
+
+ ApplicationEventPublisherAware
+ Event publisher of the enclosing ApplicationContext
+
+
+
+ BeanClassLoaderAware
+ Class loader used to load the bean classes.

+
+ BeanFactoryAware
+ Declaring BeanFactory
+
+
+
+ BeanNameAware
+ Name of the declaring bean
+
+
+
+ BootstrapContextAware
+ Resource adapter BootstrapContext the container runs in. Typically available only
+ in JCA aware ApplicationContexts
+
+
+
+ LoadTimeWeaverAware
+ Defined weaver for processing class definition at load time
+
+
+
+ MessageSourceAware
+ Configured strategy for resolving messages (with support for parametrization and internationalization)
+
+
+
+ NotificationPublisherAware
+ Spring JMX notification publisher
+

+ PortletConfigAware
+ Current PortletConfig the container runs in. Valid only in a web-aware Spring
+ ApplicationContext

+
+
+
+ ResourceLoaderAware
+ Configured loader for low-level access to resources

+
+ Note again that usage of these interfaces ties your code to the Spring API and does not follow the Inversion of Control
+ style. As such, they are recommended for infrastructure beans that require programmatic access to the container.
