Parent Bean Factories (PBF) are a ColdSpring-specific concept, the gist is this:

Set up a beans.xml file that contains all the beans that will be shared across 
multiple applications and use that to create a bean factory instance in the 
server scope, say at server.beanfactory.

Then in your applicaiton's index.cfm, set the ModelGlue_PARENT_BEAN_FACTORY to 
server.beanfactory and MG will take care of the rest.

Then you just have to keep in mind that when you call getBean() against a bean 
from the bean factory, any changes you make to its instance data will be shared 
across all applications using that bean factory as a parent bean factory.

Sounds sooooooo simple, dunnit? ;)

Google "modelglue parent bean factory" and you'll find articles by both Ray 
Camden and Sean Corfield explaining things in detail. ;)
