首先,这俩都是个接口…
实现 BeanFactory 接口的类表明此类事一个工厂,作用就是配置、新建、管理 各种Bean。
而 实现 FactoryBean 的类表明此类也是一个Bean,类型为工厂Bean(Spring中共有两种bean,一种为普通bean,另一种则为工厂bean)。顾名思义,它也是用来管理Bean的,而它本身由spring管理。
一个Bean想要实现 FactoryBean ,必须实现以下三个接口:
1. Object getObject():返回由FactoryBean创建的Bean的实例
2. boolean isSingleton():确定由FactoryBean创建的Bean的作用域是singleton还是prototype;
3. getObjectType():返回FactoryBean创建的Bean的类型。

有一点需要注意,如果将一个实现了FactoryBean的类成功配置到了spring上下文中,那么通过该类对象的名称(比如appleFactoryBean)从spring的applicationContext或者beanFactory获取bean时,获取到的是appleFactoryBean创建的apple实例,而不是appleFactoryBean自己,如果想通过spring拿到appleFactoryBean,需要在名称前加 & 符号 :
out.println(applicationContext.getBean("&appleFactoryBean"))

这个prefix在BeanFactory接口源码中有提到:
/**
* Used to dereference a {@link FactoryBean} instance and distinguish it from
* beans <i>created</i> by the FactoryBean. For example, if the bean named
* {@code myJndiObject} is a FactoryBean, getting {@code &myJndiObject}
* will return the factory, not the instance returned by the factory.
*/
    String FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX = "&";

还有一点需要注意,FactoryBean管理的bean实际上也是由spring进行配置、实例化、管理,因此由FactoryBean管理的bean不能再次配置到spring配置文件中(xml、java类配置、注解均不可以),否则会报如下异常:

附上一个例子:
spring配置类:
@Configuration
@ComponentScan
public class Configurations {
}

AppleBean :
//@Component  这里不可以加注解 !!!!!!
public class AppleBean{
}

AppleFactoryBean :
@Component
public class AppleFactoryBean implements FactoryBean{
    public Object getObject() throws Exception {
        return new AppleBean();
    }
    public Class<?> getObjectType() {
        return AppleBean.class;
    }
    public boolean isSingleton() {
        return false;
    }
}

启动类 :
public class Start {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        ApplicationContext applicationContext = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(Configurations.class);
                 out.println(applicationContext.getBean("appleFactoryBean"));//得到的是apple
                 out.println(applicationContext.getBean("&appleFactoryBean"));//得到的是apple工厂
    }
}
