## Interface MessageSourceAware

- All Superinterfaces:
    Aware
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    ResponseStatusExceptionResolver

      public interface MessageSourceAware
      extends Aware

  Interface to be implemented by any object that wishes to be notified of the MessageSource (typically the ApplicationContext) that it runs in.

  Note that the MessageSource can usually also be passed on as bean reference (to arbitrary bean properties or constructor arguments), because it is defined as bean with name "messageSource" in the application context.
