element lookup-method

Documentation

	A lookup method causes the IoC container to override the given method
	and return the bean with the name given in the bean attribute. This is
	a form of Method Injection. It is particularly useful as an alternative
	to implementing the BeanFactoryAware interface, in order to be able to
	make getBean() calls for non-singleton instances at runtime. In this
	case, Method Injection is a less invasive alternative.
