[Springframework-developer] TargetBeanAware

[Rob H. <ro...@ca...>]

All,

I was wondering about the validity of another interface that can be 
implemented by FactoryBeans, TargetBeanAware that would pass in the 
target bean to the FactoryBean before the first call to getObject(). The 
reason for this is that I wanted to build CommonsLogFactoryBean that 
would automatically pass the target bean a Log instance whose name was 
the target beans class name.

Maybe this could be encapsulted into a TargetAwareFactoryBean with the 
getObject() method accepting a single Object argument for the target bean.

What are your thoughts or do we have something like this already I have 
just missed it in the docs?
