There is no equivalent as yet to jee:jndi-lookup, though it is planned for. It would be helpful if you would create a feature request in JIRA for this. You can follow the example of http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SJC-96 when you do this.

In the meantime, you can directly use http://static.springframework.org/sp...ctoryBean.html. This is a more low-level approach, but will work just fine.
