public interface EnvironmentCapable
Interface indicating a component that contains and exposes anEnvironment
reference.All Spring application contexts are EnvironmentCapable, and the interface is used primarily for performing
instanceof
checks in framework methods that accept BeanFactory instances that may or may not actually be ApplicationContext instances in order to interact with the environment if indeed it is available.As mentioned,
ApplicationContext
extends EnvironmentCapable, and thus exposes agetEnvironment()
method; however,ConfigurableApplicationContext
redefinesgetEnvironment()
and narrows the signature to return aConfigurableEnvironment
. The effect is that an Environment object is 'read-only' until it is being accessed from a ConfigurableApplicationContext, at which point it too may be configured.- Since:
