Re: [Springframework-developer] Creating documentation from Spring beans definition files (e.g. like HiveMind's HiveDoc)

[Daniel P. <po...@ci...>]

I know it's not quite what you had in mind with this question, but we've
used Graphviz (www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/) to
generate dependency graphs based on Spring configuration files.  The
basic process involves using an XSL stylesheet to transform the Spring
XML config files into the .dot syntax used by Graphviz, then running
Graphviz on the .dot files to generate png, gif, postscript, etc.
dependency graphs.  Of course, this wouldn't work for autowired
configurations, but it generates interesting and useful graphs for
explicit configurations.
