[Springframework-developer] Major bug not marked for resolution in 1.2

[Matt S. <sga...@us...>]

I view SPR-879 as a major bug in Spring that I would hope could be fixed 
before Spring 1.2 final.  The underlying issue is that beans that are 
designated for auto-autoproxying don't always get auto-proxied. 
Instead, beans that are marked for auto-proxying are only proxied if 
they aren't needed before the auto-proxy machinery kicks in.  As a user 
I would expect a bean marked for auto-proxying to be auto-proxied. 
Instead, the current symantics implemented by Spring are "autoproxy if 
you can, but if you can't then swallow the error and leave me scratching 
my head" ;)  SPR-879 is to at least warn the user that a bean they've 
marked for autoproxying isn't going to be autoproxied.

Thanks,

Matt
