This was not my experience. If Spring could not find the appropriate type it would fail. If it did find the appropriate type it would auto-wire it, meaning I had no chance to populate it manually. For this reason I would strongly suggest adding an autowire="no" configuration option to StrutsSpringObjectFactory that allows this to happen. This would also make it consistent with Spring, which has an autoWire="no" option (which is also the default).
