Logging Spring bean creation / dependency injection

I'm looking for a way to set up Log4j (or any other logger) so that I can see in log whenever Spring creates a bean or sets a bean 开发者_如何学JAVAproperty. Eg. something like this:

1:00:00 Creating bean Foo (Foo@ef5c94)
1:00:01 Creating bean Bar (Bar@147a87e)
1:00:02 Setting bean Foo (Foo@ef5c94) to Bar (Bar@147a87e)
(...)

Is this easily possible? I'm using Spring 2.5.6 (no choice there :/ ) and Log4j (version doesn't matter I expect).

Looks like org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory logger is the best you can get.

Also simply try turning on ALL logging level for the whole org.springframework - maybe you'll find something more useful.

You can use a Log4jConfigListener in your web.xml:
