Interface BeanRegistryLookup

All Known Implementing Classes:
BeanRegistry
public interface BeanRegistryLookup
Bean-modeling SPI seam that exposes the dictionary-lookup surface the bean-runtime types need without coupling the bean-modeling layer to the marshalling-side BeanRegistry.

Marshalling-side BeanRegistry implements this interface. The bean-modeling-side only sees BeanRegistryLookup when it needs to translate between a raw Class and a polymorphic type name. All operations involving ClassMeta (e.g. getClassMeta(String)) remain on the marshalling-side BeanRegistry itself and are reached only via narrowing casts from marshalling-side call sites.

The bean-modeling layer never instantiates a registry directly — instances are always supplied by the marshalling layer via marshalling-side hooks.
