See:: Description

Element Summary
alias	Defines an alias for a bean (which can reside in a different definition resource).
arg-type	Identifies an argument for a replaced method in the event of method overloading.
array	An array can contain multiple inner bean, ref, collection, or value elements.
attribute	A qualifier element may contain attribute child elements as key-value pairs.
bean	Defines a single (usually named) bean.
beans	The top level (typically root) element.
constructor-arg	Bean definitions can specify zero or more constructor arguments.
description	Contains informative text describing the purpose of the enclosing element.
entry	A map entry can be an inner bean, ref, value, or collection.
idref	The id of another bean in this factory or an external factory (parent or included factory).
import	Specifies an XML bean definition resource to import.
key	A key element can contain an inner bean, ref, value, or collection.
list	A list can contain multiple inner bean, ref, collection, or value elements.
lookup-method	A lookup method causes the IoC container to override the given method and return the bean with the name given in the bean attribute.
map	A mapping from a key to an object.
meta	Arbitrary metadata attached to a bean definition.
null	Denotes a Java null value.
prop	The string value of the property.
property	Bean definitions can have zero or more properties.
props	Props elements differ from map elements in that values must be strings.
qualifier	Bean definitions can provide qualifiers to match against annotations on a field or parameter for fine-grained autowire candidate resolution.
ref	Defines a reference to another bean in this factory or an external factory (parent or included factory).
replaced-method	Similar to the lookup method mechanism, the replaced-method element is used to control IoC container method overriding: Method Injection.
set	A set can contain multiple inner bean, ref, collection, or value elements.
value	Contains a string representation of a property value.

Documentation

	Spring XML Beans Schema, version 3.0
	Authors: Juergen Hoeller, Rob Harrop, Mark Fisher

	This defines a simple and consistent way of creating a namespace
	of JavaBeans objects, managed by a Spring BeanFactory, read by
	XmlBeanDefinitionReader (with DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader).

	This document type is used by most Spring functionality, including
	web application contexts, which are based on bean factories.

	Each "bean" element in this document defines a JavaBean.
	Typically the bean class is specified, along with JavaBean properties
	and/or constructor arguments.

	A bean instance can be a "singleton" (shared instance) or a "prototype"
	(independent instance). Further scopes can be provided by extended
	bean factories, for example in a web environment.

	References among beans are supported, that is, setting a JavaBean property
	or a constructor argument to refer to another bean in the same factory
	(or an ancestor factory).

	As alternative to bean references, "inner bean definitions" can be used.
	Singleton flags of such inner bean definitions are effectively ignored:
	inner beans are typically anonymous prototypes.

	There is also support for lists, sets, maps, and java.util.Properties
	as bean property types or constructor argument types.
