Extend SwiXML to remove need for backing object

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello,
  I'm attempting to create a general GUI framework by combining SwiXML with 
Spring (see http://www.springframework.org ).  I would like to perform this 
integration without having to create a custom version of SwiXML, but I'm 
finding it rather difficult.  Primarily, I am attempting to replace the 
SwinEngine backing object (the user supplied "client" object that is the 
recipient for controls and the provider of actions) with a Spring BeanFactory 
instead.  However, SwiXML is "hardcoded" to use introspection for looking up 
Actions.  In other words, the code that performs this functionality is 
embedded within a private method in Parser (applyAttributes).  Moreover, even 
if Parser could be extended, SwingEngine holds a private reference to the 
Parser with no way for me to replace that private reference with my own 
Parser instance.  My only option would be to overload the actual "render" and 
"insert" methods in SwingEngine, but I feel like that would make my solution 
too brittle (if a future version of SwiXML expanded the functionality of 
these methods, my versions of them would become obsolete).  I would like to 
extend SwiXML so that it looks up Actions via a "getBean" call on a Spring 
BeanFactory instead of introspection against the client backing object.  Any 
ideas?

  Thanks,
    Andy
