Spring Beans Configuration File

If you're using the Spring framework in a project then you'll use Spring-specific XML configuration files (please refer to the Spring IDE Guide for the corresponding HOWTO). These files describe the wiring of the beans in an application. In most cases they are parsed at your application's startup by an XMLBeanFactory or by another BeanFactory implementation.

In a SpringProject multiple beans configuration files can be combined into a BeansConfigSet from within the SpringProjectProperties dialog.

Spring IDE's BeansConfigValidator does check the syntax and the Spring-specific semantics of these XML files.
