{
		Assert.notNull(beanDefinitionHolder, "BeanDefinitionHolder must not be null");
		this.beanDefinition = beanDefinitionHolder.getBeanDefinition();
		this.beanName = beanDefinitionHolder.getBeanName();
		this.aliases = beanDefinitionHolder.getAliases();
}

Copy constructor: Create a new BeanDefinitionHolder with the same contents as the given BeanDefinitionHolder instance.

Note: The wrapped BeanDefinition reference is taken as-is; it is not deeply copied.

Parameters:

beanDefinitionHolder - the BeanDefinitionHolder to copy

 public BeanDefinitionHolder(BeanDefinition beanDefinition,
    String beanName) 
{
		this(beanDefinition, beanName, null);
}

Create a new BeanDefinitionHolder.

Parameters:

beanDefinition - the BeanDefinition to wrap

beanName - the name of the bean, as specified for the bean definition

 public BeanDefinitionHolder(BeanDefinition beanDefinition,
    String beanName,
    String[] aliases) 
{
		Assert.notNull(beanDefinition, "BeanDefinition must not be null");
		Assert.notNull(beanName, "Bean name must not be null");
		this.beanDefinition = beanDefinition;
		this.beanName = beanName;
		this.aliases = aliases;
}

Create a new BeanDefinitionHolder.

Parameters:

beanDefinition - the BeanDefinition to wrap

beanName - the name of the bean, as specified for the bean definition

aliases - alias names for the bean, or null if none

 public boolean equals(Object other) 
{
		if (this == other) {
			return true;
		}
		if (!(other instanceof BeanDefinitionHolder)) {
			return false;
		}
		BeanDefinitionHolder otherHolder = (BeanDefinitionHolder) other;
		return this.beanDefinition.equals(otherHolder.beanDefinition) &&
				this.beanName.equals(otherHolder.beanName) &&
				ObjectUtils.nullSafeEquals(this.aliases, otherHolder.aliases);
}

 public String[] getAliases() 
{
		return this.aliases;
}

Return the alias names for the bean, as specified directly for the bean definition.

 public BeanDefinition getBeanDefinition() 
{
		return this.beanDefinition;
}

Return the wrapped BeanDefinition.

 public String getBeanName() 
{
		return this.beanName;
}

Return the primary name of the bean, as specified for the bean definition.

 public String getLongDescription() 
{
		StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(getShortDescription());
		sb.append(": ").append(this.beanDefinition);
		return sb.toString();
}

Return a long description for the bean, including name and aliases as well as a description of the contained BeanDefinition .

 public String getShortDescription() 
{
		StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
		sb.append("Bean definition with name '").append(this.beanName).append("'");
		if (this.aliases != null) {
			sb.append(" and aliases [").append(StringUtils.arrayToCommaDelimitedString(this.aliases)).append("]");
		}
		return sb.toString();
}

Return a friendly, short description for the bean, stating name and aliases.

 public Object getSource() 
{
		return this.beanDefinition.getSource();
}

Expose the bean definition's source object.

 public int hashCode() 
{
		int hashCode = this.beanDefinition.hashCode();
		hashCode = 29 * hashCode + this.beanName.hashCode();
		hashCode = 29 * hashCode + ObjectUtils.nullSafeHashCode(this.aliases);
		return hashCode;
}

 public String toString() 
{
		return getLongDescription();
}

This implementation returns the long description. Can be overridden to return the short description or any kind of custom description instead.
