/**
 * Abstract base class for {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory}
 * implementations, providing the full capabilities of the
 * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableBeanFactory} SPI.
 * Does <i>not</i> assume a listable bean factory: can therefore also be used
 * as base class for bean factory implementations which obtain bean definitions
 * from some backend resource (where bean definition access is an expensive operation).
 *
 * <p>This class provides a singleton cache (through its base class
 * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry},
 * singleton/prototype determination, {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean}
 * handling, aliases, bean definition merging for child bean definitions,
 * and bean destruction ({@link org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean}
 * interface, custom destroy methods). Furthermore, it can manage a bean factory
 * hierarchy (delegating to the parent in case of an unknown bean), through implementing
 * the {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.HierarchicalBeanFactory} interface.
 *
 * <p>The main template methods to be implemented by subclasses are
 * {@link #getBeanDefinition} and {@link #createBean}, retrieving a bean definition
 * for a given bean name and creating a bean instance for a given bean definition,
 * respectively. Default implementations of those operations can be found in
 * {@link DefaultListableBeanFactory} and {@link AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory}.
