IOC: Aliasing a bean outside the bean definition

Bean.java:

package com.lnn.ioc;

public class Bean {

      private String name;

      public String getName() {

            return name;

      }

      public void setName(String name) {

            this.name = name;

      }

}

Factory.java:

package com.lnn.ioc;

public class Factory {

      public static Bean createBean() {

            return new Bean();

      }

}

ioc.xml:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">

      <bean  id="noun" class="com.lnn.ioc.Factory" factory-method="createBean">

            <property name="name" value="value"/>

      </bean>

      <alias name="noun" alias="pronoun"/>

</beans>

Test.java:

package com.lnn.ioc;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class Test {

      public static void main(String[] args) {

            ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("ioc.xml");

            Bean bean = context.getBean("pronoun", Bean.class);

            System.out.println(bean.getName());

      }

}
