Got it cleaned up. Here is spring file I'm working on:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/trunk/openejb3/container/openejb-spring/src/test/resources/org/apache/openejb/spring/spring.xml
The "OpenEJB" bean starts the OpenEJB system. I wrote type safe
wrappers to declare our different container types so you get hinting
in eclipse and intellij. Resources can be defined in the "OpenEJB"
bean using a syntax similar to the openejb.xml file, and these
resources are constructed by OpenEJB using the defaults from the
OpenEJB provider system.
External to the "OpenEJB" bean any bean you define is imported into
OpenEJB as an injectable resource. The "OpenEJB" bean will also
detect a TransactionManager and/or a SecurityService and use these
instances instead of creating the default services. Finally, this
file shows a DataSource exported from OpenEJB to the Spring context.
Next, I'm going to work on deployment of JEE applications in the
Spring context. After that, I'm thinking that a Spring xml extension
could automatically export all of the EJBs and Resources in an
application.
Anyway, let me know what you think,

I've been working with Spring a lot lately which got me thinking
about embedding OpenEJB into a Spring application. What I'm
thinking about is a user that has an exiting JEE module (ejb-jar)
and wants to expose the services (the EJBs) to the Spring context.
Also, I'd like to be able to make the spring defined beans available
to OpenEJB for injection into the EJBs.
I've been hacking on this for a few hours and it is looking very
doable. Anyway, I'll clean up the code and check it so everyone can
see.
