1 BeanFactory接口
BeanFactory定义了IOC容器的最基本形式，并提供了IOC容器应遵守的的最基本的接口，也就是Spring IOC所遵守的最底层和最基本的编程规范。在 Spring代码中，BeanFactory只是个接口，并不是IOC容器的具体实现，但是Spring容器给出了很多种实现，如DefaultListableBeanFactory、XmlBeanFactory、ApplicationContext等，都是附加了某种功能的实现。
public interface BeanFactory {
/**
* Used to dereference a {@link FactoryBean} instance and distinguish it from
* beans <i>created</i> by the FactoryBean. For example, if the bean named
* {@code myJndiObject} is a FactoryBean, getting {@code &myJndiObject}
* will return the factory, not the instance returned by the factory.

2 FactoryBean
一般情况下，Spring通过反射机制利用<bean>的class属性指定实现类实例化Bean，在某些情况下，实例化Bean过程比较复杂，如果按照传统的方式，则需要在<bean>中提供大量的配置信息。配置方式的灵活性是受限的，这时采用编码的方式可能会得到一个简单的方案。Spring为此提供了一个org.springframework.bean.factory.FactoryBean的工厂类接口，用户可以通过实现该接口定制实例化Bean的逻辑。
FactoryBean接口对于Spring框架来说占用重要的地位，Spring自身就提供了70多个FactoryBean的实现。它们隐藏了实例化一些复杂Bean的细节，给上层应用带来了便利。从Spring 3.0开始，FactoryBean开始支持泛型，即接口声明改为FactoryBean<T>的形式：
package org.springframework.beans.factory;
public interface FactoryBean<T> {
T getObject() throws Exception;
Class<?> getObjectType();
boolean isSingleton();
} 在该接口中还定义了以下3个方法：
T getObject()：返回由FactoryBean创建的Bean实例，如果isSingleton()返回true，则该实例会放到Spring容器中单实例缓存池中；
boolean isSingleton()：返回由FactoryBean创建的Bean实例的作用域是singleton还是prototype；
Class<T> getObjectType()：返回FactoryBean创建的Bean类型。
当配置文件中<bean>的class属性配置的实现类是FactoryBean时，通过getBean()方法返回的不是FactoryBean本身，而是FactoryBean#getObject()方法所返回的对象，相当于FactoryBean#getObject()代理了getBean()方法。

package com.baobaotao.factorybean;
public class Car {
private int maxSpeed ;
private String brand ;
private double price ;
public int getMaxSpeed () {
return this . maxSpeed ;
}
public void setMaxSpeed ( int maxSpeed ) {
this . maxSpeed = maxSpeed;
}
public String getBrand () {
return this . brand ;
}
public void setBrand ( String brand ) {
this . brand = brand;
}
public double getPrice () {
return this . price ;
}
public void setPrice ( double price ) {
this . price = price;
}
}
package com.baobaotao.factorybean;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean;
public class CarFactoryBean implements FactoryBean<Car> {
private String carInfo ;
public Car getObject () throws Exception {
Car car = new Car () ;
String [] infos = carInfo .split ( "," ) ;
car.setBrand ( infos [ 0 ]) ;
car.setMaxSpeed ( Integer. valueOf ( infos [ 1 ])) ;
car.setPrice ( Double. valueOf ( infos [ 2 ])) ;
return car;
}
public Class<Car> getObjectType () {
return Car. class ;
}
public boolean isSingleton () {
return false ;
}
public String getCarInfo () {
return this . carInfo ;
}
// 接受逗号分割符设置属性信息
public void setCarInfo ( String carInfo ) {
this . carInfo = carInfo;
}
} 有了这个CarFactoryBean后，就可以在配置文件中使用下面这种自定义的配置方式配置Car Bean了：
<bean id="car" class="com.baobaotao.factorybean.CarFactoryBean"
P:carInfo="法拉利,400,2000000"/>
当调用getBean("car")时，Spring通过反射机制发现CarFactoryBean实现了FactoryBean的接口，这时Spring容器就调用接口方法CarFactoryBean#getObject()方法返回。如果希望获取CarFactoryBean的实例，则需要在使用getBean(beanName)方法时在beanName前显示的加上"&"前缀：如getBean("&car");
BeanFactory是个Factory，也就是IOC容器或对象工厂，FactoryBean是个Bean。在Spring中，所有的Bean都是由BeanFactory(也就是IOC容器)来进行管理的。但对FactoryBean而言，这个Bean不是简单的Bean，而是一个能生产或者修饰对象生成的工厂Bean,它的实现与设计模式中的工厂模式和修饰器模式类似。
