spring xsd:element name to bean class mapping

Question

In spring integration and other spring derivatives, xml elements(tags) are used to simplify spring configuration files by defining element to bean class mapping.

I am interested to know where the mapping between the xsd:element and bean class is actually defined?

Answer 1

Everything goes to NamespaceHandler Here is a manual: Extensible XML authoring

Note: in the link above /current/ path always goes to current Spring release
