If BeanFactory holds bean definitions, which class holds actual bean instances?

It's stated in BeanFactory's doc, that it

is implemented by objects that hold a number of bean definitions

If BeanFactory, or ApplicationContext (that is also a BeanFactory) hold bean definition, what class is responsible of holding actual beans?

It's said also that BeanFactory is

The root interface for accessing a Spring bean container

What class is this container?

It shouldn't really matter as it's an implementation detail, unless you intend to work with the internal classes. But for example singleton beans are by default contained in a map in DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry etc.

The container isn't a single class, it refers to spring as a whole.
