spring:beans

Description

An Oddjob job that will load a Spring application. The Spring XML configuration may be specified either as files or classpath resources.

Beans within Spring may be accessed from other Oddjob components using the notation ${id-of-this/name-of-bean}.

Oddjob beans are made available via a parent BeanFactory so can be accessed by reference.

Oddjobs beans and there properties can also be accessed using the ${id.property} notation within Spring configuration files.
