  | This one I don't like, since it means instantiating an anonymous bean with a lot less control for propA.

It actually doesn't create any anonymous bean but it's identical to the following Java code:

beanX.getPropA().setPropB("C");

It's often very useful when you want to modify a property of a read-only property (i.e. propA = read only, propB = writable).

"alesj" wrote : <bean id="beanY" ...>
  |   |     <property name="propC" ref="beanX.propA.propB" />
  |   | </bean>

  | This can be trivially added to our inject element:
  | 
  | <inject bean="beanX" property="propA.propB"/>

Sounds great!
