Spring IDE 1.3 cannot find beans defined in a different xml file?

[zhirenshao]

When I was using 1.2.5, only in one of my web project that Spring IDE was able to find beans defined in different xml file. But in this 1.3 version, that project was dead as well.

Here's what I was doing

<bean id="action.suncorpForm" class="au.com.auscript.web.firmuser.flow.SuncorpFormFlowAction">
	<property name="interviewService">
		<ref bean="interviewService"></ref>
	</property>
</bean>

The bean 'interviewService' is defined in another xml file, I added both file into Spring Beans config, but it still issued warning of 'Referenced bean interviewService not found'.

That's really annoying cos it added more than 100 warnings into my Eclipse project.

I didn't use 'import' to include the other xml file into the current one as I think the new version of Spring doesn't required that.

I'm using the latest version of Lomboz (it's basically an eclipse 3.1, hopefully u've heard about it)

Any thoughts?

Spring IDE needs a little help here

You have to provide a hint which BeansConfig files are combined in a single Spring ApplicationContext. Therefore Spring IDE supports the notion of BeansConfigSets.

I did have a config set and my eclipse was able to find beans in other xml files. But after I upgrade one of the plugin it then stop working.

I removed the config set and added again, it's working now, thanks!
