All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, Aware, BeanFactory, BeanNameAware, DisposableBean, HierarchicalBeanFactory, InitializingBean, ListableBeanFactory, ApplicationContext, ApplicationEventPublisher, ConfigurableApplicationContext, Lifecycle, MessageSource, EnvironmentCapable, ResourceLoader, ResourcePatternResolver
Direct Known Subclasses:
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext, FileSystemXmlApplicationContext
```
public abstract class AbstractXmlApplicationContext
extends AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext
```
Convenient base class for ApplicationContext implementations, drawing configuration from XML documents containing bean definitions understood by an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
Subclasses just have to implement the getConfigResources() and/or the AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext.getConfigLocations() method. Furthermore, they might override the DefaultResourceLoader.getResourceByPath(java.lang.String) hook to interpret relative paths in an environment-specific fashion, and/or AbstractApplicationContext.getResourcePatternResolver() for extended pattern resolution.

- Constructor Detail
  - AbstractXmlApplicationContext
```
public AbstractXmlApplicationContext()
```
    Create a new AbstractXmlApplicationContext with no parent.
  - AbstractXmlApplicationContext
```
public AbstractXmlApplicationContext(ApplicationContext parent)
```
    Create a new AbstractXmlApplicationContext with the given parent context.
    Parameters:
    parent - the parent context
- Method Detail
  - setValidating
```
public void setValidating(boolean validating)
```
    Set whether to use XML validation. Default is true.
  - loadBeanDefinitions
```
protected void loadBeanDefinitions(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory)
                            throws BeansException,
                                   IOException
```
    Loads the bean definitions via an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
    Specified by:
    loadBeanDefinitions in class AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext
    Parameters:
    beanFactory - the bean factory to load bean definitions into
    Throws:
    BeansException - if parsing of the bean definitions failed
    IOException - if loading of bean definition files failed
    See Also:
    XmlBeanDefinitionReader, initBeanDefinitionReader(org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader), loadBeanDefinitions(org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory)
  - initBeanDefinitionReader
```
protected void initBeanDefinitionReader(XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader)
```
    Initialize the bean definition reader used for loading the bean definitions of this context. Default implementation is empty.
    Can be overridden in subclasses, e.g. for turning off XML validation or using a different XmlBeanDefinitionParser implementation.
    Parameters:
    reader - the bean definition reader used by this context
    See Also:
    XmlBeanDefinitionReader.setDocumentReaderClass(java.lang.Class<?>)
  - loadBeanDefinitions
```
protected void loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader)
                            throws BeansException,
                                   IOException
```
    Load the bean definitions with the given XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
    The lifecycle of the bean factory is handled by the AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.refreshBeanFactory() method; hence this method is just supposed to load and/or register bean definitions.
    Parameters:
    reader - the XmlBeanDefinitionReader to use
    Throws:
    BeansException - in case of bean registration errors
    IOException - if the required XML document isn't found
    See Also:
    AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.refreshBeanFactory(), AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext.getConfigLocations(), AbstractApplicationContext.getResources(java.lang.String), AbstractApplicationContext.getResourcePatternResolver()
  - getConfigResources
```
protected Resource[] getConfigResources()
```
    Return an array of Resource objects, referring to the XML bean definition files that this context should be built with.
    The default implementation returns null. Subclasses can override this to provide pre-built Resource objects rather than location Strings.
    Returns:
    an array of Resource objects, or null if none

    AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext.getConfigLocations()
