spring bean configuration should support simple wildcards
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-623
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-623
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC
            Reporter: Gary Tully


to apply configuration to a http destination I need to provide the following:

    <bean name="{http://www.test.com}MyPort.http-destination"; abstract="true">
      <property name="multiplexWithAddress" value="true"/>
    </bean> 

which matches a single port by name.
I would like to be able to provide

    <bean name="*.http-destination" abstract="true">
      <property name="multiplexWithAddress" value="true"/>
    </bean> 

to indicate to apply the config to all http-destinations. To make this work in 
practice a class attribute is required, otherwise any wildcard would be matched 
against all beanNames. The package is probably not required in the className 
attribute.

    <bean name="*.http-destination" abstract="true" class="HttpDestination">
      <property name="multiplexWithAddress" value="true"/>
    </bean> 

To get Spring to merge wildcard and beanName specific config may be a chalenge 
but it would be great. Possibly it is a case of configuring once with the 
wildcard match and once with the specific name.
