Instance of BeanFactory

[vijaynairis]

Hi,

To get an instance of a bean factory using ctx.getBean("<<BeanFactoryName>>"), why do I have to add an "&" like this ??

("<<&BeanFactoryName>>")

I do not understand...Could someone kindly explain ?

Thanks...VJ

Are you talking about BeanFactory or FactoryBean?

Mostly the reference is your friend: Customizing instantiation logic using FactoryBeans.
