8.4. Creating beans from builder classes

You can create a bean created from another builder class as shown below:

	<bean name="myBean" type="com.acme.MyBean"
          builderClass="com.acme.MyBeanBuilder" builderMethod="createMyBean">
        <properties>
          <property key="id" value="123"/>
          <property key="name" value="Acme"/>
        </constructors>
	</bean>

You can then use the builder class to create the actual bean by using fluent builder style configuration.

Set the properties on the builder class, and create the bean by invoking the builderMethod at the end.

You invocate this method via Java reflection.
