How to retrieve all derived concret controller?

[kkus]

I need develop some controllers as below to reflect parent/child relationship. But I don't know if there is any way letting me to have a reference to collection of child controllers from parent controller. After having this reference I can loop through all concrete controllers. Is this a right way to design? What abstract controller should I use? Thanks

<bean id="abstractController" class="mycom.MyAbastractController" abstract="true">
<!--other property etc-->
  </bean>

  <bean id="concreteController1" parent="abstractController">
<!--other property etc-->
  </bean>

  <bean id="concreteController2" parent="abstractController">
<!--other property etc-->
  </bean>

It might be due to the fact that it is already quite late here, but I don't have a clue in what you are trying to achieve here...

I'm not sure, either, I understand what you try to achieve.
If you want to have access to all children of an abstract bean, you can use getBeansOfType method of ListableBeanFactory: http://www.springframework.org/docs/api/org/springframework/beans/factory/ListableBeanFactory.html#getBeansOfType(java.lang. Class)
