Spring Bean locator

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A python file to read applicationcontext.xml and generate Spring bean locator class. this will remove the need to lookup bean using string constant. This class assumes that you have a SpringUtil class that will provide you the application context. A sample class that will be generated looks like


package xxx.util;

import xxx.util.SpringUtils;
public class SpringBeanLocator {

public static xxx.cache.JCache getJcache() {
return (xxx.cache.JCache) SpringUtils.getApplicationContext().getBean("jcache");
}

public static xxx.ldap.LDAPHelper getLdapHelper() {
return (xxx.ldap.LDAPHelper) SpringUtils.getApplicationContext().getBean("ldapHelper");
}
......................
}
