public class DefaultBeanFactoryLocator

extends SingletonBeanFactoryLocator

Variant of SingletonBeanFactoryLocator which creates its internal bean factory reference definition as an ApplicationContext instead of SingletonBeanFactoryLocator's BeanFactory. For almost all usage scenarios, this will not make a difference, since withing that ApplicationContext or BeanFactory you are still free to create either BeanFactories or ApplicationContexts. The main reason one would need to use this class is if BeanPostProcessing (or other ApplicationContext specific features are needed in the bean reference definition itself.

Note: This class uses beanRefContext.xml as the default name for the bean factory reference definition. It is not possible nor legal to share definitions with SingletonBeanFactoryLocator, at the same time.
