SpEL in XSD Namespace Attributes

[dkolb]

EDIT [2013.05.03]:Located the exact example I was looking for in the samples in the Spring Security source. Ended up wiring an LdapAuthenticationProvider manually using references for various properties. Then I used authentication-manager, http, and global-method-security as usual. Not my favorite solution, but a decent compromise, if I say so myself. Further side note to anyone who may stumble on this post: The defaults when building the <beans> manually are not the same as the defaults when using <ldap-authentication-provider> and <ldap-server>. You may want to reference the JavaDoc while doing so.

I'm currently attempting to configure Spring Security and seem to have run into a problem, when using SpEL expressions to access beans inside of XML attributes, it appears the SpEL is not being evaluated. Instead, it simply strips the #{ } tags. Is there a way to make this work or is it just not going to work? If so, how would I configure this without using the XSD based configuration? The documentation seems a bit light on how to go about doing that.
