GenericBeanDefinition is a one-stop shop for declarative bean definition purposes. Like all common bean definitions, it allows for specifying a class plus optionally constructor argument values and property values. Additionally, deriving from a parent bean definition can be flexibly configured through the "parentName" property.

In general, use this GenericBeanDefinition class for the purpose of registering declarative bean definitions (e.g. XML definitions which a bean post-processor might operate on, potentially even reconfiguring the parent name). Use RootBeanDefinition/ChildBeanDefinition where parent/child relationships happen to be pre-determined, and prefer RootBeanDefinition specifically for programmatic definitions derived from factory methods/suppliers.

public AbstractBeanDefinition cloneBeanDefinition()

Implements abstract org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanDefinition.cloneBeanDefinition.

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object other)

Overrides org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanDefinition.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
other:Object

the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:boolean

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
