diff in ref local and bean

[kasim]

what is the difference in the following:ie difference between local and bean under ref tag?

<ref local="service"/> 

and

<ref bean="service"/> 

[dr_pompeii]

if i dont bad remember this is would be the explanation

"local" look the bean in the same xml file(you can has one file a.xml), and "bean" instead look in the others xml file bean definitions(you can has more of one file a.xml,b.xml,c.xml)
