Introduce AnnotationConfigCapableApplicationContext interface to unify ACAC and ACWAC operations [SPR-8365] #13012
Description
Chris Beams opened SPR-8365 and commented
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext and AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext both expose register and scan methods as of the completion of #12968. Introduce a new interface that declares each of these methods and refactor ACAC and ACWAC to implement it.
Beyond information value, this is useful for implementors of the ApplicationContextInitializer interface, in that users may create an ACI that works consistently across ACAC and ACWAC for standalone (e.g. testing, batch) or web (e.g. production) use.
