Adam,
this would be my suggestion however some CS guru might have a better idea
<bean id="DogDAO" class="com.DogDAO" />
<bean id="DogGateway" class="com.DogGateway" />
<bean id="DogService" class="com.DogService">
<property name="DogDAO">
<ref bean="DogDAO" />
</property>
<property name="DogGateway">
<ref bean="DogGateway" />
</property>
</bean>
Thanks
Qasim
