[Springframework-developer] Commons Logging Bean Post Processor

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

All,

I have been working on an idea for auto injecting Commons Log instances into 
beans for a while. I have commited initial support for this to the sandbox. 
It uses a bean post processor and injects a log into all beans that define a 
setLog() method. 

The bean post processor itself uses a strategy interface to determine the 
name of the log and I have created three basic implementations that satisfy 
the needs for my projects. 

I'm not sure if this is useful for anyone else, and I have a feeling there 
is a better way of doing this. In particular I am not happy about the use of 
a magic method for identifying classes that have a Log dependency, but I 
didn't want to introduce a Spring interface that beans have to implement 
just to have a Log injected. 

Let me know your thoughts. 

Rob
