/**
 * Finder that is specialized for easier usage by Spring wiring services. The
 * idea is to create a singleton Spring bean based on that SpringFinder and
 * configure it using Spring's "lookup-method" element to return instances of a
 * "prototype" bean for {@link #create()}. Finally, attach the SpringFinder to
 * your Router. When the {@link #create()} method is invoked, a new instance of
 * your prototype bean will be created and returned. A sample XML for
 * "lookup-method":
 * 
 * <pre>
 *      &lt;bean id=&quot;myFinder&quot; class=&quot;org.restlet.ext.spring.SpringFinder&quot;&gt; 
 *              &lt;lookup-method name=&quot;create&quot; bean=&quot;myResource&quot;/&gt; 
 *      &lt;/bean&gt;
 *       
 *      &lt;bean id=&quot;myResource&quot; class=&quot;com.mycompany.rest.resource.MyResource&quot; scope=&quot;prototype&quot;&gt; 
 *              &lt;property name=&quot;aProperty&quot; value=&quot;anotherOne&quot;/&gt; 
 *              &lt;property name=&quot;oneMore&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
 *      &lt;/bean&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * Note that the <a href="http://cglib.sourceforge.net/">Code Generation
 * Library</a> (cglib) will be required in order to use the Spring's lookup
 * method mechanism.<br>
 * <br>
 * Concurrency note: instances of this class or its subclasses can be invoked by
 * several threads at the same time and therefore must be thread-safe. You
 * should be especially careful when storing state in member variables.
