Support for @Lookup methods within @Configuration classes [SPR-15316]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sandu Turcan opened SPR-15316 and commented

I have two config classes: MainConfig and ConfigExt.
MainConfig imports ConfigExt, and I would like a concise way of referencing ConfigExt from it.
I'm trying to use @Lookup, but it doesn't work in this case.
I have a sample project here:
https://github.com/idlsoft/spring-lookup
and a PR, which I believe will fix the issue here:
#919

Good catch! It took a bit more to fix this (conditionally calling setBeanFactory in such a multi-CGLIB subclass hierarchy) but you were spot on in terms of direction here.
