Package org.springframework.guice.module

Class BeanFactoryProvider

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.guice.module.BeanFactoryProvider
All Implemented Interfaces:
jakarta.inject.Provider<org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory>, Closeable, AutoCloseable
public class BeanFactoryProvider extends Object implements jakarta.inject.Provider<org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory>, Closeable

A Provider for a BeanFactory from an ApplicationContext that will not be refreshed until the Guice injector wants to resolve dependencies. Delaying the refresh means that the bean factory can resolve dependencies from Guice modules (and vice versa).

Also implements Closeable so if you want to clean up resources used in the application context then you can keep a reference to the provider and call close() on it when the application is shut down. Alternatively, you could register an ApplicationContextInitializer that sets a shutdown hook, so that the context is closed automatically when the JVM ends.
