public Interface BeanNameAware

extends Aware
Known Direct Implementers
org.springframework.beans.factory.config.FieldRetrievingFactoryBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PlaceholderConfigurerSupport, org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPathFactoryBean
Interface to be implemented by beans that want to be aware of their bean name in a bean factory. Note that it is not usually recommended that an object depends on its bean name, as this represents a potentially brittle dependence on external configuration, as well as a possibly unnecessary dependence on a Spring API.

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