```
public BeanComponentDefinition(BeanDefinition beanDefinition,
                               String beanName)
```
    Create a new BeanComponentDefinition for the given bean.
    Parameters:
    beanDefinition - the BeanDefinition
    beanName - the name of the bean
  - BeanComponentDefinition
```
public BeanComponentDefinition(BeanDefinition beanDefinition,
                               String beanName,
                               String[] aliases)
```
    Create a new BeanComponentDefinition for the given bean.
    Parameters:
    beanDefinition - the BeanDefinition
    beanName - the name of the bean
    aliases - alias names for the bean, or null if none
  - BeanComponentDefinition
```
public BeanComponentDefinition(BeanDefinitionHolder holder)
```
    Create a new BeanComponentDefinition for the given bean.
    Parameters:
    holder - the BeanDefinitionHolder encapsulating the bean definition as well as the name of the bean
- Method Detail
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
    Description copied from interface: ComponentDefinition
    Get the user-visible name of this ComponentDefinition.
    This should link back directly to the corresponding configuration data for this component in a given context.
    Specified by:
    getName in interface ComponentDefinition
  - getDescription
```
public String getDescription()
```
    Description copied from interface: ComponentDefinition
    Return a friendly description of the described component.
    Implementations are encouraged to return the same value from toString().
    Specified by:
    getDescription in interface ComponentDefinition
  - getBeanDefinitions
```
public BeanDefinition[] getBeanDefinitions()
```
    Description copied from interface: ComponentDefinition
    Return the BeanDefinitions that were registered to form this ComponentDefinition.
    It should be noted that a ComponentDefinition may well be related with other BeanDefinitions via references, however these are not included as they may be not available immediately. Important BeanReferences are available from ComponentDefinition.getBeanReferences().
    Specified by:
    getBeanDefinitions in interface ComponentDefinition
    Returns:
    the array of BeanDefinitions, or an empty array if none
  - getInnerBeanDefinitions
```
public BeanDefinition[] getInnerBeanDefinitions()
```
    Description copied from interface: ComponentDefinition
    Return the BeanDefinitions that represent all relevant inner beans within this component.
    Other inner beans may exist within the associated BeanDefinitions, however these are not considered to be needed for validation or for user visualization.
    Specified by:
    getInnerBeanDefinitions in interface ComponentDefinition
    Returns:
    the array of BeanDefinitions, or an empty array if none
  - getBeanReferences
```
public BeanReference[] getBeanReferences()
```
    Description copied from interface: ComponentDefinition
    Return the set of BeanReferences that are considered to be important to this ComponentDefinition.
    Other BeanReferences may exist within the associated BeanDefinitions, however these are not considered to be needed for validation or for user visualization.
    Specified by:
    getBeanReferences in interface ComponentDefinition
    Returns:
    the array of BeanReferences, or an empty array if none
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    This implementation returns this ComponentDefinition's description.
    Overrides:
    toString in class BeanDefinitionHolder
    See Also:
    getDescription()
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object other)
```
    This implementations expects the other object to be of type BeanComponentDefinition as well, in addition to the superclass's equality requirements.
    Overrides:
    equals in class BeanDefinitionHolder
