+ Support for injection against non-standard JavaBeans setters + 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'. +
