在ApplicationContext实现类的构造方法里。

	public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(String configLocation) throws BeansException {
		this(new String[] {configLocation}, true, null);
	}

上边的构造方法调用如下构造方法

	public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
			String[] configLocations, boolean refresh, @Nullable ApplicationContext parent)
			throws BeansException {

		super(parent);
		setConfigLocations(configLocations);
		if (refresh) {
			refresh();
		}
	}

在其中调用的refresh()方法中代码如下：

	@Override
	public void refresh() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException {
		synchronized (this.startupShutdownMonitor) {
			// Prepare this context for refreshing.
			prepareRefresh();

			// Tell the subclass to refresh the internal bean factory.
			ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = obtainFreshBeanFactory();

			// Prepare the bean factory for use in this context.
			prepareBeanFactory(beanFactory);

			try {
				// Allows post-processing of the bean factory in context subclasses.
				postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);

				// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
				invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);

				// Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.
				registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);

				// Initialize message source for this context.
				initMessageSource();

				// Initialize event multicaster for this context.
				initApplicationEventMulticaster();

				// Initialize other special beans in specific context subclasses.
				onRefresh();

				// Check for listener beans and register them.
				registerListeners();

				// Instantiate all remaining (non-lazy-init) singletons.
				finishBeanFactoryInitialization(beanFactory);

				// Last step: publish corresponding event.
				finishRefresh();
			}

			catch (BeansException ex) {
				if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
					logger.warn("Exception encountered during context initialization - " +
							"cancelling refresh attempt: " + ex);
				}

				// Destroy already created singletons to avoid dangling resources.
				destroyBeans();

				// Reset 'active' flag.
				cancelRefresh(ex);

				// Propagate exception to caller.
				throw ex;
			}

			finally {
				// Reset common introspection caches in Spring's core, since we
				// might not ever need metadata for singleton beans anymore...
				resetCommonCaches();
			}
		}
	}

其中图示的部分完成了BeanPostProcessor的注册：

registerBeanPostProcessors代码如下：

	protected void registerBeanPostProcessors(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
		PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate.registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, this);
	}

其中会通过代理类PostProcessorRegistrationDelegate代理类来注册BeanPostProcessor.

	public static void registerBeanPostProcessors(
			ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory, AbstractApplicationContext applicationContext) {

		String[] postProcessorNames = beanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(BeanPostProcessor.class, true, false);

		// Register BeanPostProcessorChecker that logs an info message when
		// a bean is created during BeanPostProcessor instantiation, i.e. when
		// a bean is not eligible for getting processed by all BeanPostProcessors.
		int beanProcessorTargetCount = beanFactory.getBeanPostProcessorCount() + 1 + postProcessorNames.length;
		beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(new BeanPostProcessorChecker(beanFactory, beanProcessorTargetCount));

		// Separate between BeanPostProcessors that implement PriorityOrdered,
		// Ordered, and the rest.
		List<BeanPostProcessor> priorityOrderedPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>();
		List<BeanPostProcessor> internalPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>();
		List<String> orderedPostProcessorNames = new ArrayList<>();
		List<String> nonOrderedPostProcessorNames = new ArrayList<>();
		for (String ppName : postProcessorNames) {
			if (beanFactory.isTypeMatch(ppName, PriorityOrdered.class)) {
				BeanPostProcessor pp = beanFactory.getBean(ppName, BeanPostProcessor.class);
				priorityOrderedPostProcessors.add(pp);
				if (pp instanceof MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor) {
					internalPostProcessors.add(pp);
				}
			}
			else if (beanFactory.isTypeMatch(ppName, Ordered.class)) {
				orderedPostProcessorNames.add(ppName);
			}
			else {
				nonOrderedPostProcessorNames.add(ppName);
			}
		}

		// First, register the BeanPostProcessors that implement PriorityOrdered.
		sortPostProcessors(priorityOrderedPostProcessors, beanFactory);
		registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, priorityOrderedPostProcessors);

		// Next, register the BeanPostProcessors that implement Ordered.
		List<BeanPostProcessor> orderedPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>(orderedPostProcessorNames.size());
		for (String ppName : orderedPostProcessorNames) {
			BeanPostProcessor pp = beanFactory.getBean(ppName, BeanPostProcessor.class);
			orderedPostProcessors.add(pp);
			if (pp instanceof MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor) {
				internalPostProcessors.add(pp);
			}
		}
		sortPostProcessors(orderedPostProcessors, beanFactory);
		registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, orderedPostProcessors);

		// Now, register all regular BeanPostProcessors.
		List<BeanPostProcessor> nonOrderedPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>(nonOrderedPostProcessorNames.size());
		for (String ppName : nonOrderedPostProcessorNames) {
			BeanPostProcessor pp = beanFactory.getBean(ppName, BeanPostProcessor.class);
			nonOrderedPostProcessors.add(pp);
			if (pp instanceof MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor) {
				internalPostProcessors.add(pp);
			}
		}
		registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, nonOrderedPostProcessors);

		// Finally, re-register all internal BeanPostProcessors.
		sortPostProcessors(internalPostProcessors, beanFactory);
		registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, internalPostProcessors);

		// Re-register post-processor for detecting inner beans as ApplicationListeners,
		// moving it to the end of the processor chain (for picking up proxies etc).
		beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(new ApplicationListenerDetector(applicationContext));
	}

可见，BeanPostProcessor分为3类：
priorityOrderdPostProcessors
oderedPostProcessors
noOrderedPostProcessors
