A marker superinterface indicating that a bean is eligible to be notified by the Spring container of a particular framework object through a callback-style method. The actual method signature is determined by individual subinterfaces but should typically consist of just one void-returning method that accepts a single argument.

Note that merely implementing Aware provides no default functionality. Rather, processing must be done explicitly, for example in a BeanPostProcessor . Refer to ApplicationContextAwareProcessor for an example of processing specific *Aware interface callbacks.
