Re: [Springframework-developer] autowire by type on a factory-bean factory-method

[Tim D. <sub...@re...>]

I understand that getType on any factory-method type bean returns Null,=20
implying that autowire by type wouldn't work with one of these. Getting=20
the getType to check the type of the bean returned by factory-method is=20
not that difficult (just a bit of introspection), but isn't (as I=20
understand it) underway at present.

This is paraphrased & deduced from a recent comment on JIRA
