Description

Since BeanFactory is typically used to help adapt legacy systems it is useful to be able to poll for existence of Beans in BeanFactory. An example use case is to poll against BeanFactory and failing that try your legacy factory.

Attached you will find a patch that adds a "contains" method to BeanFactory, the appropriate implementation and unit tests.
