[Springframework-developer] Using XSI type and Schema for defining the xml Context

[THOMAS, J. (SBCSI) <jt...@sb...>]

Hello All,
Is there a plan to use XML schema and XSI type for defining the beans,
Currently we have only a fixed XML tags, it will be great if spring supports
XSI type and schema and also allows for extension ie the developer can
create his own type (Which could be an extension for the Abstract Type) and
then we can create our own factory and plug it into the spring framework
itself, Here is an example.
<object id="testBean" xsi:type="Bean" 
    class-name="TestBean">
     <property xsi:type="ValueProperty" name="capacity">
      <value>4</value>
    </property>
     <property name="testB" xsi:type="ObjectProperty">
      <object  xsi:type="ObjectRef" refid="helper.testBean1"/>
    </property>
   </object>

Any takers ??.
Thanks
