package org.springframework.beans.factory;

Interface to be implemented by beans that want to be aware of their bean name in a bean factory. Note that it is not usually recommended that an object depends on its bean name, as this represents a potentially brittle dependence on external configuration, as well as a possibly unnecessary dependence on a Spring API.

For a list of all bean lifecycle methods, see the BeanFactory javadocs.

public interface BeanNameAware extends Aware {
Set the name of the bean in the bean factory that created this bean.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method.

Params:
  • name – the name of the bean in the factory. Note that this name is the actual bean name used in the factory, which may differ from the originally specified name: in particular for inner bean names, the actual bean name might have been made unique through appending "#..." suffixes. Use the BeanFactoryUtils.originalBeanName(String) method to extract the original bean name (without suffix), if desired.
