  All Known Implementing Classes:
    ConfigurationClassPostProcessor

      public interface BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor
      extends BeanFactoryPostProcessor

  Extension to the standard `BeanFactoryPostProcessor` SPI, allowing for the registration of further bean definitions before regular BeanFactoryPostProcessor detection kicks in.

    - #### postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry

          void postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry)
                                                 throws BeansException

      Modify the application context's internal bean definition registry after its standard initialization. All regular bean definitions will have been loaded, but no beans will have been instantiated yet. This allows for adding further bean definitions before the next post-processing phase kicks in.
      Parameters:
        `registry` - the bean definition registry used by the application context
      Throws:
        `BeansException` - in case of errors
