Spring 3のソースコードを多く研究します.

最近自分でIoc容器を書きます.
基本的には全部直接方式でIocをサポートしています.
XMLについては、使わなくてもいいです.あのうるさいものです.
その中で多くの問題に出会って、やはり一歩ずつ解決しました.
実は多くspring 3のソースコードを見てみるのはとても役に立ちます.
この方法はspring iocの中の重要な方法であるはずです.org.springframe ebook.beans.factory.support.Abstractort.Abstractoryという種類の中で

Springのソースコードを研究したことがない学生はこの方法を知らないかもしれません.
実際には、getBeanやget Bean、get Beazz、さらにgetBeanという方法を使うたびに、最終的にはdoGetBenに戻ります.

public Object getBean(String name) throws BeansException {
		return doGetBean(name, null, null, false);
	}

	public <T> T getBean(String name, Class<T> requiredType) throws BeansException {
		return doGetBean(name, requiredType, null, false);
	}

	public Object getBean(String name, Object... args) throws BeansException {
		return doGetBean(name, null, args, false);
	}

public <T> T getBean(Class<T> requiredType) throws BeansException {
		Assert.notNull(requiredType, "Required type must not be null");
		String[] beanNames = getBeanNamesForType(requiredType);
		if (beanNames.length > 1) {
			ArrayList<String> autowireCandidates = new ArrayList<String>();
			for (String beanName : beanNames) {
				if (getBeanDefinition(beanName).isAutowireCandidate()) {
					autowireCandidates.add(beanName);
				}
			}
			if (autowireCandidates.size() > 0) {
				beanNames = autowireCandidates.toArray(new String[autowireCandidates.size()]);
			}
		}
		if (beanNames.length == 1) {
			return getBean(beanNames[0], requiredType);
		}
		else if (beanNames.length == 0 && getParentBeanFactory() != null) {
			return getParentBeanFactory().getBean(requiredType);
		}
		else {
			throw new NoSuchBeanDefinitionException(requiredType, "expected single bean but found " +
					beanNames.length + ": " + StringUtils.arrayToCommaDelimitedString(beanNames));
		}
	}

doGetBean()の方法の定義を見れば、これは一般的な方法であることが分かります.だからです.getBean(Class clazz)という方法を使う場合は、強制的にモデルチェンジする必要はありません.
大部分はまだ研究していませんが、焦らずゆっくり見ています..
