     * serves as a convenient, specific facility on the ApplicationContext interface.

     * after the application context has been closed.</b> In current Spring Framework
     * versions, only refreshable application contexts behave that way; as of 4.2,
     * all application context implementations will be required to comply.

     * {@link AutowireCapableBeanFactory} interface, or does not hold an
