Overriding bean definition message does not take parent definition into account [SPR-9671]

[spring-projects-issues]

Radim Kolar opened SPR-9671 and commented

It seems like this message contains just bean definition values, not real values merged with parent bean definition. It would be more useful if parent bean definition will be merged because for example lazyInit will be different.

At that point of processing, bean definitions aren't being merged yet, and I would be odd to do so just for logging purposes. However, you do have a point that the parent bean isn't even mentioned in that log output: As a consequence, I've revised GenericBeanDefinition's toString() implementation correspondingly, being similar to ChildBeanDefinition's output now.
