public BeanDefinitionResource(BeanDefinition beanDefinition) 
{
		Assert.notNull(beanDefinition, "BeanDefinition must not be null");
		this.beanDefinition = beanDefinition;
}

Create a new BeanDefinitionResource.

Parameters:

beanDefinition - the BeanDefinition objectto wrap

 public boolean equals(Object obj) 
{
		return (obj == this ||
		    (obj instanceof BeanDefinitionResource &&
						((BeanDefinitionResource) obj).beanDefinition.equals(this.beanDefinition)));
}

This implementation compares the underlying BeanDefinition.

 public boolean exists() 
{
		return false;
}

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

Return the wrapped BeanDefinition object.

 public String getDescription() 
{
		return "BeanDefinition defined in " + this.beanDefinition.getResourceDescription();
}

 public InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException 
{
		throw new FileNotFoundException(
				"Resource cannot be opened because it points to " + getDescription());
}

 public int hashCode() 
{
		return this.beanDefinition.hashCode();
}

This implementation returns the hash code of the underlying BeanDefinition.

 public boolean isReadable() 
{
		return false;
}
