Possible bug: Bean name and parent name are the same

[robmoore]

I'm seeing an odd error with the latest Spring IDE (1.1.0, I believe). I have a bean definition with some nested 'anonymous' bean definitions. When I do so, I get the error message "Bean name and parent name are the same". I tried giving all of them names, but the error remains. Here's a facsimile snippet of my bean definition:

<bean id="DailyRollupDef"
        class="com.example.ReportDefinition">
        <property name="exportParameters">
            <map>
                <entry key="ReportTitle">
                    <value>My Report</value>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
        <property name="inputParameters">
            <bean class="com.example.ReportInputParameters">
                <property name="reportName">
                    <value>DailyRollup</value>
                </property>
                <property name="setupProviderName">
                    <value>ReportSetup</value>
                </property>
                <property name="recordTypes">
                    <list>
                        <bean
                            class="com.example.DayStatsRecordType">
                            <constructor-arg>
                                <value>DAY</value>
                            </constructor-arg>
                        </bean>
                    </list>
                </property>
            </bean>
        </property>
       ...
    </bean>

Another issue I've seen -- not a show-stopper -- is the bean definitions have to be forward declared. That is, I have to have parent beans declared before their children. This doens't bother Spring and I assumed it was legal...
