  TargetSourceCreator | Implementations can create special target sources, such as pooling target sources, for particular beans.

- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  AbstractAdvisorAutoProxyCreator | Generic auto proxy creator that builds AOP proxies for specific beans based on detected Advisors for each bean.
  AbstractAutoProxyCreator | `BeanPostProcessor` implementation that wraps each eligible bean with an AOP proxy, delegating to specified interceptors before invoking the bean itself.
  AutoProxyUtils | Utilities for auto-proxy aware components.
  BeanFactoryAdvisorRetrievalHelper | Helper for retrieving standard Spring Advisors from a BeanFactory, for use with auto-proxying.
  BeanNameAutoProxyCreator | Auto proxy creator that identifies beans to proxy via a list of names.
  DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator | BeanPostProcessor implementation that creates AOP proxies based on all candidate Advisors in the current BeanFactory.
  InfrastructureAdvisorAutoProxyCreator | Auto-proxy creator that considers infrastructure Advisor beans only, ignoring any application-defined Advisors.
  ProxyCreationContext | Holder for the current proxy creation context, as exposed by auto-proxy creators such as `AbstractAdvisorAutoProxyCreator`.

## Package org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy Description

Bean post-processors for use in ApplicationContexts to simplify AOP usage by automatically creating AOP proxies without the need to use a ProxyFactoryBean.

The various post-processors in this package need only be added to an ApplicationContext (typically in an XML bean definition document) to automatically proxy selected beans.

NB: Automatic auto-proxying is not supported for BeanFactory implementations, as post-processors beans are only automatically detected in application contexts. Post-processors can be explicitly registered on a ConfigurableBeanFactory instead.
