MetadataAwareAspectInstanceFactory (Spring Framework 4.3.30.RELEASE API)

All Superinterfaces:
AspectInstanceFactory, Ordered
All Known Implementing Classes:
BeanFactoryAspectInstanceFactory, LazySingletonAspectInstanceFactoryDecorator, PrototypeAspectInstanceFactory, SimpleMetadataAwareAspectInstanceFactory, SingletonMetadataAwareAspectInstanceFactory
```
public interface MetadataAwareAspectInstanceFactory
extends AspectInstanceFactory
```
Subinterface of AspectInstanceFactory that returns AspectMetadata associated with AspectJ-annotated classes.
Ideally, AspectInstanceFactory would include this method itself, but because AspectMetadata uses Java-5-only AjType, we need to split out this subinterface.
