<title>Support for injection against non-standard JavaBeans setters</title>
|
||||
<para>Prior to Spring 3.1, in order to inject against a property method it had to
|
||||
conform strictly to JavaBeans property signature rules, namely that any 'setter'
|
||||
method must be void-returning. It is now possible in Spring XML to specify
|
||||
setter methods that return any object type. This is useful when considering
|
||||
designing APIs for method-chaining, where setter methods return a reference to
|
||||
'this'.</para>
