Extension to the standard BeanFactoryPostProcessor SPI, allowing for the registration of further bean definitions before regular
BeanFactoryPostProcessor detection kicks in. In particular,
BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor may register further bean definitions
which in turn define BeanFactoryPostProcessor instances.

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.

Params:
  • registry – the bean definition registry used by the application context
Throws:
