 * <p>Runtime bean configuration wrapper. Like a Groovy builder, but more of a DSL for

 * 
 * <pre>
 * import org.hibernate.SessionFactory
 * import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource
 * 
 * GroovyBeanDefinitionReader builder = new GroovyBeanDefinitionReader()
 * builder.beans {
 *   dataSource(BasicDataSource) {                  // <--- invokeMethod
 *      driverClassName = "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
 *      url = "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:grailsDB"
 *      username = "sa"                            // <-- setProperty
 *      password = ""
 *      settings = [mynew:"setting"]
 *  } 
 *  sessionFactory(SessionFactory) {
 *        dataSource = dataSource                 // <-- getProperty for retrieving refs
 *  }
 *  myService(MyService) {
 *      nestedBean = { AnotherBean bean->          // <-- setProperty with closure for nested bean
 *            dataSource = dataSource
 *      }
 *  }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 *   You can also use the Spring IO API to load resources containing beans defined as a Groovy
 *   script using either the constructors or the loadBeans(Resource[] resources) method
