[Springframework-developer] Dynamic properties

[Dain S. <da...@iq...>]

Hi all,

I've been working on an implementation of the Geronimo kernel  
interface using Spring.  All is going well, but I have run into one  
feature Geronimo has that Spring doesn't.  In Geronimo a bean can  
have dynamic properties.  A dynamic property is treated just like any  
other property but instead of calling setFoo(value), we call  
setAttribute("foo", value).  These are set when the other setter  
injected properties are set.

Have you guys ever considered adding support for dynamic attributes?

An alternative solution is to allow generic method invocation before  
init method is called.
