Description

« Hide

Review cases where we reference external beans solely via the ref attribute and consider supporting an additional 'class' attribute to be able to define those inplace (works for simple cases with a default constructor). Can also be applied to <custom-xxx> tags. Examples:

<jdbc:connector name="jdbcConnector">
        <jdbc:sqlStatementStrategyFactory class="org.mule.transport.jdbc.TestSqlStatementStrategyFactory"/>
    </jdbc:connector>

    <jdbc:connector name="jdbcConnector5">
        <jdbc:sqlStatementStrategyFactory ref="sqlStatementStrategyFactory"/>
    </jdbc:connector>

    <spring:bean name="sqlStatementStrategyFactory" class="org.mule.transport.jdbc.config.JdbcNamespaceHandlerTestCase$TestSqlStatementStrategyFactory"/>

The main effort lies in schema updates, the coding part is easier.
