RE: [Springframework-developer] declaritive context visibility of bean definitions?

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

Such visibility options make sense IMO. However, I would prefer that this
was considered for 1.2 rather than 1.1 final. 
 
As with abstract definitions, enumeration methods on ListableBeanFactory
shouldn't return non-public beans.
 
Btw, inner beans are a good alternative: for example, instead of the
xxxx/xxxTarget combination for ProxyFactoryBean, just xxxx, with the target
an anonymous inner bean.

Subject: [Springframework-developer] declaritive context visibility of bean
definitions?


Just had a thought while reading the 'explicity abstract' message.   
 
Would it make sense to have the ability to make bean definitions 'private',
that is local only to other beans in the same context, and the default is
'public'?    I can't think of a use-case for this or if it is already
possible in current Spring core.
 
 
<bean   ......    access="public" />
 
or 
 
<bean  .......   public="false" />
 
 
 
Just a thought.
