Creating a qualified bean using Grails Spring DSL

gistfile1.txt

In order to match a @Qualifier reference like this (in a Spring-managed bean):

public class MyManagedBean {
  @Autowired @Qualifier("bean_a") private MyBean myBean;
}

using the Grails Spring DSL, you do this:

myBean(MyBean) { bean ->
  bean.beanDefinition.addQualifier(new org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AutowireCandidateQualifier( org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier, 'bean_a'))
}

There should be a better way of doing that.
