RE: [Springframework-developer] Introduce explicit "abstract" bean definition attribute

[Rod J. <ro...@in...>]

I think this would be valuable functionality. In fact, the Interface21
framework did have the notion of "abstract" bean definitions.

It's important of course that such abstract definitions are not returned =
by
the enumeration methods on ListableBeanFactory.=20

I would be very keen to see this in 1.1 final.

definition attribute

The following suggestion sounds plausible:

http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/spring/browse/SPR-269
=20
Currently, singleton parent bean definitions that are not meant to be
instantiated directly have to be marked "lazy-init" to avoid eager
instantiation on application context startup. I guess it would be =
cleaner do
introduce an abstract=3D"true"/"false" attribute at the "bean" level, =
clearly
indicating that this bean should never be created but just serves as
template for child bean definitions.
=20
Any objections to adding this for 1.1 final?
