Alternative to class attribute for factory-method usage. If this is specified, no class attribute should be used. This must be set to the name of a bean in the current or ancestor factories that contains the relevant factory method. This allows the factory itself to be configured using Dependency Injection, and an instance (rather than static) method to be used.
