There has to be more documentation and specification than that for this stuff.

For instance, if you have two <bean/> definition with the same id in whatever xml files that seem to get parsed, do you know which definition wins out? Now add "matching" into the mix.

And furthermore, I was surprised (by trial and error, mind you) that if you list two interceptors in a SpringBus bean interceptor property, that they get installed in the reverse order than the order listed!

That's why I say "regular expressions".

There is not a much better understood class of expressions than REs, their grammars being among the class of grammars that are equivalent, in an important mathematical sense, to finite state machines.[1] Haven't looked at Sun's implementation, but I would not at all be surprised to see them compile down to FSAs to do acceptance.

Then we better have some specific semantics about which "match" is selected, so it's predictable by thinking about apriori, and not discovery by subsequent testing.
