[XDoclet-JIRA] Commented: (XDT-1302) Support for prototypes (abstract)

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/browse/XDT-1302?page=comments#action_17514 ] 

Chris Nappin commented on XDT-1302:
-----------------------------------

Please resolve this issue! It's much more than a "nice-to-have" for any Spring application of reasonable size. The out-of-date DTD I can work around, by setting validate to false and running an Ant "xmlvalidate" task with a more up to date copy of the Spring beans DTD. But this omission I can't work around. ;-(

I'm currently wanting to refactor an application to use Spring-managed DAOs. We find that, with a large team, XDoclet is essential in keeping a Spring config that is always correct. However without this functionality we will have to have a large number of properties defined in every DAO class (we have several hundred DAOs).

> Hi,
> it would be nice to add the ability to tag abstract classes that serves as prototypes in spring's application context and classes that inherit from them. A simple example follows:
> on abstract class:
> @spring.bean name="abstractBean" abstract="true"
> on concrete class:
> @spring.bean name="concreteBean" parent="abstractBean"
> Thanks,
> Xavier
