Description

Since 5.1 now handles Spring beans through the master object provider, it is (I think) impossible to specify spring beans by name, which is a pain when you have multiple spring beans implementing the same interface.

Could the Spring Object Provider take notice of an annotation that specifies the bean name, please? (e.g. @Service or @Id)

It would be particularly nice if the same annotation specified the names of Tapestry IOC services and spring beans, so that if we decide to move services from Spring into Tapestry IOC we don't need to change any other code.
