[Springframework-developer] Re: Multi-arg setter injection

IMO, the suggested solution introduces unnecessary complexity.

If the class isn't final, why not subclass it with something that is a 
standard bean that knows how to translate standard bean settings to its 
super?

If the class is final, a custom bean factory should do the trick.
