Re: [Springframework-developer] How hard is is to add support for list inside of a list, in an XML beanfactory def?

Thanks. I guess the contained list is going to come in just as a 
ManagedList instance. I think I'm still going to have to do some 
additional work in MethodInvokingFactoryBean to coerce that passed in 
ManagedList to the target method argument type.

I've just patched the DTD accordingly and committed it; a corresponding unit test passes (not committed yet due to other work).
