how to validate the config bean?

[tutufool]

suppose I have a bean like this in the config file
<bean id="mybean" class="com.my.biz">
<property name="id">
</bean>
obviousely, this bean is invalid, because property should have "value" or "ref" or an inner bean.
so, I want to know if spring framework provide some api to validate beans in config file?

thanks
