Hi,
It is almost the reason I started Spring-Annotation project (https://spring-annotation.dev.java.net/nonav/);
Today night I`ll release the version 1.0.2 that will use the XML Schema option of spring 2.0 to enable the annotations reading (instead of another ApplicationContext implementation as the previous version).

if you do not like the Spring-Annotation approach, you can at lease use the same same kind of XML Schema configuration to enable your annotation approach.

look at one of the test cases:
package net.java.dev.springannotation.annotation.beans;

import net.java.dev.springannotation.annotation.Property;

public class ParentBean {
@Property(bean="scopeTest")
private ScopeTestBean testProp;

public ScopeTestBean getTestProp() {
return testProp;
}

public void setTestProp(ScopeTestBean testProp) {
this.testProp = testProp;
}
}

import net.java.dev.springannotation.annotation.Bean;

@Bean(name="parentTest")
public class ParentPropertyBean extends ParentBean{
}

package net.java.dev.springannotation.annotation;

import net.java.dev.springannotation.annotation.beans.ParentPropertyBean;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class ParentPropertyTest extends TestCase {
private ApplicationContext factory;

protected void setUp() throws Exception {
factory = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath*:testContext.xml");
}

public void testParentProperty() {
ParentPropertyBean bean = (ParentPropertyBean) factory.getBean("parentTest");
assertNotNull(bean.getTestProp());
}
}
– the XML configuration –
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:sa="https://spring-annotation.dev.java.net/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="https://spring-annotation.dev.java.net/context https://spring-annotation.dev.java.net/nonav/context.xsd"
default-autowire="byName">
<sa:annotation-autoload/>
</beans>

I almost never use the @Property annotation, I prefer to just use the auto-wire approach …

We have a lot of good code already written, the support for JSF is great and you have two more scopes already implemented for JSF applications (working in port it to Spring MVC).
flash (from the end of one request to the start of the next one)
and conversation (until a method with @ConvEnd is executed)

please take a look and comment.
