public interface BeanDefinitionParser
DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader to handle custom,
top-level (directly under <beans/>) tags.
Implementations are free to turn the metadata in the custom tag into as many
BeanDefinitions as required.
The parser locates a BeanDefinitionParser from the associated
NamespaceHandler for the namespace in which the custom tag resides.

parse(Element element,

Parse the specified
Element and register the resulting
BeanDefinition(s) with the
BeanDefinitionRegistry
embedded in the supplied ParserContext. |
BeanDefinition parse(Element element, ParserContext parserContext)
Element and register the resulting
BeanDefinition(s) with the
BeanDefinitionRegistry
embedded in the supplied ParserContext.
Implementations must return the primary BeanDefinition that results
from the parse if they will ever be used in a nested fashion (for example as
an inner tag in a <property/> tag). Implementations may return
null if they will not be used in a nested fashion.
