Override xml-defined spring bean in java-based configuration -

i'm extending complete product called hippo cms own rest interface. hippo cms using apache cxf rest , acquires resources definitions spring bean defined somewhere in hippo cms sources. definition this:

<bean id="jaxrsrestplainresourceproviders" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.methodinvokingfactorybean">   <property name="targetclass" value="org.apache.commons.collections.listutils" />   <property name="targetmethod" value="union" />   <property name="arguments">     <list>       <ref bean="customrestplainresourceproviders" />       <ref bean="defaultrestplainresourceproviders" />     </list>   </property> </bean>  <bean id="defaultrestplainresourceproviders" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.listfactorybean">   <property name="sourcelist">     <list>     </list>   </property> </bean>  <!-- default empty list of custom plain resource providers overriden. --> <bean id="customrestplainresourceproviders" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.listfactorybean">   <property name="sourcelist">     <list>     </list>   </property> </bean> 

i need override customrestplainresourceproviders bean own bean. works fine xml configuration looking this:

<bean id="customrestplainresourceproviders" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.listfactorybean">   <property name="sourcelist">     <list>       <bean class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.lifecycle.singletonresourceprovider">         <constructor-arg>           <bean class="com.xxx.rest.folderstructureresource"/>         </constructor-arg>       </bean>     </list>   </property> </bean> 

but doesn't work if define bean in java configuration class (which in case of other beans works fine):

@bean(name = "customrestplainresourceproviders") public listfactorybean customrestplainresourceproviders() {   listfactorybean listfactorybean = new listfactorybean();   listfactorybean.setsourcelist(     lists.newarraylist(       new singletonresourceprovider(         new folderstructureresource(repository())       )     )   );   return listfactorybean; } 

is there way override bean defined in xml configuration bean created in java configuration class?

what version of spring using? believe issues addressed in 4.2.
