Prototype bean constructor/factory runtime args

[manifoldronin]

I wonder if perhaps there is some other way better than going under the hood of bean factory? For example, your LocalSessionFactoryBean subclass, say, MySessionFactoryBean could expose an extra property, schemaProvider, which is essentially a proxy interface that knows how to get the schema name at runtime.

I just added my vote to this. I had a similar idea that is in a different SPR (SPR-695, now marked as closed, with the code in the sandbox). Better to combine votes to get this functionality in Spring ASAP.

The approach I give here "Run-Time Dependency Injection": http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=14679
would help in this, or may be a starting point for an alternate solution.

So ultimately I need to / want to use getBean(myObject, MyObject.class, args), but we're using a BeanFactory derived from the ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator

  protected BeanFactory createBeanFactory(String factoryName) {
    BeanFactoryLocator bfl = ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator.getInstance();
    BeanFactoryReference ref =	bfl.useBeanFactory(factoryName);
    return ref.getFactory();
  }

Given that I only have a BeanFactory and not an instance of ApplicationContext derived from say ClassPathXmlApplicationContext, how can I get a handle to the AbstractBeanFactory?

Thanks
