Base class for ApplicationContext implementations which are supposed to support multiple calls to AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(), creating a new internal bean factory instance every time. Typically (but not necessarily), such a context will be driven by a set of config locations to load bean definitions from.

The only method to be implemented by subclasses is loadBeanDefinitions, which gets invoked on each refresh. A concrete implementation is supposed to load bean definitions into the given DefaultListableBeanFactory, typically delegating to one or more specific bean definition readers.

Note that there is a similar base class for WebApplicationContexts. AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext provides the same subclassing strategy, but additionally pre-implements all context functionality for web environments. There is also a pre-defined way to receive config locations for a web context.

Concrete standalone subclasses of this base class, reading in a specific bean definition format, are ClassPathXmlApplicationContext and FileSystemXmlApplicationContext, which both derive from the common AbstractXmlApplicationContext base class; AnnotationConfigApplicationContext supports @Configuration-annotated classes as a source of bean definitions.

Create an internal bean factory for this context. Called for each AbstractApplicationContext.refresh() attempt.

The default implementation creates a DefaultListableBeanFactory with the internal bean factory of this context's parent as parent bean factory. Can be overridden in subclasses, for example to customize DefaultListableBeanFactory's settings.
