RE: [Springframework-developer] Simplify typical xml setup syntax

[Winter A. <and...@wi...>]

Be aware you must then check for constructs like

<property name=3D"user" bean=3D"aBean"><value>admin</value></property>

Anyway it's a good idea.

Having introduced Spring in our projects, I was faced with complains =
about
writing nearly the same configuration over and over again, e.g. =
applying an
interceptor to many beans or setting a session factory into many DAOs. =
Child
beans solve some problems but there should be a more explicit mechanism =
not
a reuse of the <bean> tag.
