ExtendedBeanInfoFactory (Spring Framework 3.2.1.RELEASE API)
Date: 2013-01-24

org.springframework.beans

## Class ExtendedBeanInfoFactory

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.beans.ExtendedBeanInfoFactory

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    BeanInfoFactory, Ordered

      public class ExtendedBeanInfoFactory
      extends Object
      implements Ordered, BeanInfoFactory

  `BeanInfoFactory` implementation that evaluates whether bean classes have "non-standard" JavaBeans setter methods and are thus candidates for introspection by Spring's `ExtendedBeanInfo`.

  Ordered at `Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE` to allow other user-defined `BeanInfoFactory` types to take precedence.

    3.2

    - #### getBeanInfo

          public BeanInfo getBeanInfo(Class<?> beanClass)
                               throws IntrospectionException

      Return a new `ExtendedBeanInfo` for the given bean class.
      Specified by:
        `getBeanInfo` in interface `BeanInfoFactory`
      Parameters:
        `beanClass` - the bean class
      Returns:
        the bean info, or `null` if not the given class is not supported
      Throws:
        `IntrospectionException` - in case of exceptions

    - #### getOrder

          public int getOrder()

      Description copied from interface: `Ordered`
      Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

      Normally starting with 0, with `Integer.MAX_VALUE` indicating the greatest value. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

      Higher values can be interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

      Specified by:
        `getOrder` in interface `Ordered`
      Returns:
        the order value
