[Springframework-developer] factory-bean attribute

[Timo V. <sic...@gm...>]

Hi!

I'm using a factory to create a bean as written in the documentation:

<bean id="exampleBean" class="examples.ExampleBean"
      factory-method="createInstance">
...
</bean>

On app startup I get: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Attribute 
"factory-method" must be declared for element type "bean".

The current spring-beans.dtd at 
http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd does not contain 
the factory-method attribute.

Is the documentation out of date here or is something missing in the 
dtd/implementation?

Regards,

Timo

Timo,

Factory methods to create beans, and the factory-method attribute, are 
only available in the CVS head version of Spring.
