Just jumping in while taking a 10 second break - so I'm probably misunderstanding your usecase, but couldn't you just have a parent factory that's in between the definition of X and the MG definintion of Y?
No. That's the whole point of my post Dave! :) The whole point is that I need to override definitions from MG's Configuration.xml within my "local" ColdSpring.xml but I don't want to repeat the XML over and over again - so I have to have the overriding definitions physically in my ColdSpring.xml file because a parent bean factory by definition does not override the child factory. Believe me folks, I have thought this through! I know I may well be a complete edge case here because of my setup but the two enhancements are real needs :) The workarounds are: 1) (for the aliasing) a dummy AOP proxy (I think - I haven't actually tried that yet!) 2) (for the include) physically duplicating the XML in every CS file Perhaps "needs" is too strong a word (since I actually *do* have workarounds) but the workarounds are ugly. I guess the questions should be: - do Java Spring folks hit these problems? - if so, what do they do about them? - if not, why do they not hit them? -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood
