Re: [Springframework-developer] FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX

I agree that "&" is not that great a choice given XML as primary
configuration format, so I guess supporting an alternative marker for nicer
references in XML would be worthwhile.
 
Syntax suggestions? Other opinions?

Subject: [Springframework-developer] FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX


Hello,

I'd like to suggest to define an alternative value for
BeanFactory.FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX as "&" is the XML entity prefix.

To use this prefix in a spring XML context it is required to setup something
like : 

    <property name="" ref="&amp;ID" />

Doesn't look very nice.

Having a second prefix supported by spring XML-based applicationcontext
would make this cleaner.

Nico.
