/**
* 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 {@link Aware} provides no default functionality.
* Rather, processing must be done explicitly, for example in a
* {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanPostProcessor}.
* Refer to {@link org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationContextAwareProcessor}
* for an example of processing specific {@code *Aware} interface callbacks.
