I'm not sure that we're quite communicating-- that beans.xml file is _not_ Spring. It has nothing to do with Spring. It's a CDI-specific artifact that just happens to have the same name as a Spring artifact. If I understand your situation correctly (and people with more experience at CDI than me are invited to correct me) you aren't using Spring at all and it's just not an issue.
You can use a Spring XML context named foo.xml or whigglesnort.xml or whatever. What matters is the contents. But the beans.xml for CDI _must_ be named that (and must be in the right place) and the contents only come into play if you are using alternative impl beans or other CDI features. I.e. a requisite for an artifact to be recognized as CDI is that name "beans.xml". That's not optional. The existence of a file with that name in the right place is what cues the CDI framework to work on the contents of that artifact. So, no Spring to worry about. --- A.
