Java code to illustrate Spring Framework's extensible XML authoring configuration. 
It has been built with Spring Framework version 3.1.0.M2. The code had been 
organised into three independent Eclipse projects:

1) springbean uses default spring bean configuration;

2) custombean utilises Spring's extensible XML authoring to specify a custom bean 
    definition;

3) customerdomain makes further use of XML authoring to define a complete 
    customised XML file.

A couple of Java programs have been included with each project above to provide 
examples, one signs a data file and the other verifies a given signature for a data file. 
These programs show that Spring beans have been created by custom XMLs through
the getBean() method.
