BeanDefinition的创建（BeanDefinitionHolder的创建）

 这个对另一篇章Bean Definition从加载、解析、处理、注册到BeanFactory的过程的扩展。

Spring框架中BeanDefinition的继承结构。

Spring框架中BeanDefinition的继承结构。在创建BeanDefinition时，可以生成RootBeanDefinition或者是GenericBeanDefinition的实例。但是现在大多数情况下都是创建GenericBeanDefinition的实例。因为。。。请看下图

在BeanDefinition的加载、解析、处理、注册过程中的处理阶段。

如图中红色方框的代码，现在要创建一个BeanDefinitionHolder对象。它如何创建的。情况下面的步骤。

在DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader类中

一）、在BeanDefinitionParserDelegate类中

二）、在BeanDefinitionParserDelegate类中

    /**
     * Parses the supplied {@code <bean>} element. May return {@code null}
     * if there were errors during parse. Errors are reported to the
     * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ProblemReporter}.
     */
    public BeanDefinitionHolder parseBeanDefinitionElement(Element ele, BeanDefinition containingBean) {
        String id = ele.getAttribute(ID_ATTRIBUTE);
        String nameAttr = ele.getAttribute(NAME_ATTRIBUTE);

        List<String> aliases = new ArrayList<String>();
        if (StringUtils.hasLength(nameAttr)) {
            String[] nameArr = StringUtils.tokenizeToStringArray(nameAttr, MULTI_VALUE_ATTRIBUTE_DELIMITERS);
            aliases.addAll(Arrays.asList(nameArr));
        }

        String beanName = id;
        if (!StringUtils.hasText(beanName) && !aliases.isEmpty()) {
            beanName = aliases.remove(0);
            if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                logger.debug("No XML 'id' specified - using '" + beanName +
                        "' as bean name and " + aliases + " as aliases");
            }
        }

        if (containingBean == null) {
            checkNameUniqueness(beanName, aliases, ele);
        }
        //在这里BeanDefinition 对象被创建了。
        AbstractBeanDefinition beanDefinition = parseBeanDefinitionElement(ele, beanName, containingBean);
        if (beanDefinition != null) {
            if (!StringUtils.hasText(beanName)) {
                try {
                    if (containingBean != null) {
                        beanName = BeanDefinitionReaderUtils.generateBeanName(
                                beanDefinition, this.readerContext.getRegistry(), true);
                    }
                    else {
                        beanName = this.readerContext.generateBeanName(beanDefinition);
                        // Register an alias for the plain bean class name, if still possible,
                        // if the generator returned the class name plus a suffix.
                        // This is expected for Spring 1.2/2.0 backwards compatibility.
                        String beanClassName = beanDefinition.getBeanClassName();
                        if (beanClassName != null &&
                                beanName.startsWith(beanClassName) && beanName.length() > beanClassName.length() &&
                                !this.readerContext.getRegistry().isBeanNameInUse(beanClassName)) {
                            aliases.add(beanClassName);
                        }
                    }
                    if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                        logger.debug("Neither XML 'id' nor 'name' specified - " +
                                "using generated bean name [" + beanName + "]");
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex) {
                    error(ex.getMessage(), ele);
                    return null;
                }
            }
            String[] aliasesArray = StringUtils.toStringArray(aliases);
            return new BeanDefinitionHolder(beanDefinition, beanName, aliasesArray);
        }

        return null;
    }

三）、在BeanDefinitionParserDelegate类中

    /**
     * Parse the bean definition itself, without regard to name or aliases. May return
     * {@code null} if problems occurred during the parsing of the bean definition.
     */
    public AbstractBeanDefinition parseBeanDefinitionElement(
            Element ele, String beanName, BeanDefinition containingBean) {

        this.parseState.push(new BeanEntry(beanName));

        String className = null;
        if (ele.hasAttribute(CLASS_ATTRIBUTE)) {
            className = ele.getAttribute(CLASS_ATTRIBUTE).trim();
        }

        try {
            String parent = null;
            if (ele.hasAttribute(PARENT_ATTRIBUTE)) {
                parent = ele.getAttribute(PARENT_ATTRIBUTE);
            }
            AbstractBeanDefinition bd = createBeanDefinition(className, parent);

            parseBeanDefinitionAttributes(ele, beanName, containingBean, bd);
            bd.setDescription(DomUtils.getChildElementValueByTagName(ele, DESCRIPTION_ELEMENT));

            parseMetaElements(ele, bd);
            parseLookupOverrideSubElements(ele, bd.getMethodOverrides());
            parseReplacedMethodSubElements(ele, bd.getMethodOverrides());

            parseConstructorArgElements(ele, bd);
            parsePropertyElements(ele, bd);
            parseQualifierElements(ele, bd);

            bd.setResource(this.readerContext.getResource());
            bd.setSource(extractSource(ele));

            return bd;
        }
        catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            error("Bean class [" + className + "] not found", ele, ex);
        }
        catch (NoClassDefFoundError err) {
            error("Class that bean class [" + className + "] depends on not found", ele, err);
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            error("Unexpected failure during bean definition parsing", ele, ex);
        }
        finally {
            this.parseState.pop();
        }

        return null;
    }

四）、在BeanDefinitionParserDelegate类中

五）、在BeanDefinitionReaderUtils类中

以上就是BeanDefinition在处理阶段如何创建BeanDefinition的部分。
