element idref

Documentation

	The id of another bean in this factory or an external factory
	(parent or included factory).
	While a regular 'value' element could instead be used for the
	same effect, using idref in this case allows validation of local
	bean ids by the XML parser, and name completion by supporting tools.
			

Properties

This component is not nillable.

  bean = xsd:string
