Closest answer seems to be [1]. Assuming that's still accurate, guess not.

Ok, thanks. I was mis-remembering then, it's there in the latest
docs:<br>

An inner bean definition does not require a defined id or name;
the container ignores
these values. It also ignores the <code class="literal">scope</code>
flag. Inner beans are <span class="emphasis"><em>always</em></span>
anonymous and
they are <span class="emphasis"><em>always</em></span> created
with the outer bean. It is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span>
possible to inject inner
beans into collaborating beans other than into the enclosing bean.</blockquote>

Probably. Obviously you'd have to conditionally reference that since it won't be present on older configs.</pre>

Yeah, I did that. It's not injected by reference, it's by value
using getObject(beanName) in an SpEL expression. That just returns
null if the bean doesn't exist.<br>
