Update: Stuart has released the code since he doesn't think he'll be able to spend much time on it.
Stuart Halloway has posted examples of a new DSL (domain-specific language) which will simplify the creation of beans in Spring.
The current XML configuration has been one of the more difficult issues in Spring to deal with at work. It definitely takes a little bit to wrap your head around it and any problems with the XML can be difficult to track down.
Hopefully, something along these lines will allow more flexibility and better error tracking.
