Spring-data-mongodb db-factory id does not work

Question

I have a working copy of mongo-config.xml which uses the default id of db-factory:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
    xmlns:mongo="http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-3.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/mongo/spring-mongo-1.4.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">

<mongo:mongo id="replicaSetMongo" replica-set="localhost:10901,localhost:10902">
<mongo:options connections-per-host="8"
ssl="false" />
</mongo:mongo>

<mongo:db-factory
mongo-ref="replicaSetMongo"
dbname="logs"
username="logs_owner"
password="logs_owner" />

<mongo:mapping-converter>
<mongo:custom-converters>
<mongo:converter>
<beanclass="com.utils.mongodb.dao.impl.SspLogsWriteConverter"/>
</mongo:converter>
</mongo:custom-converters>
</mongo:mapping-converter>

<beanid="xmlLogTemplate"class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">
<constructor-arg name="mongoDbFactory" ref="mongoDbFactory"/>
<constructor-arg name="mongoConverter" ref="mappingConverter"/>
<propertyname="writeConcern">
<util:constant static-field="com.mongodb.WriteConcern.UNACKNOWLEDGED"/>
</property>
</bean>

</beans>

However we have requirement to connect to 2 different databases on the same mongodb replica-set. Hence I want to define 2 different mongo:db-factory beans. So I made the following change: (Only the changed beans are shown below)

<mongo:db-factory id="xmlDbFactory" 
    mongo-ref="replicaSetMongo"
    dbname="logs"
    username="logs_owner"
    password="logs_owner" />

<beanid="xmlLogTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate">
    <constructor-arg name="mongoDbFactory" ref="xmlDbFactory"/>
    <constructor-arg name="mongoConverter" ref="mappingConverter"/>
    <property name="writeConcern">
    <util:constant static-field="com.mongodb.WriteConcern.UNACKNOWLEDGED"/>
    </property>
    </bean>

As soon as I deploy this change, my JBoss starts throwing errors at startup as follows. Is this a bug in Spring, or am I doing something wrong?

The problem isn't the db-factory, it's the mapping-converter that has an optional argument "db-factory-ref". This argument is internally preset to "mongoDbFactory" to match the default "id" of the db-factory.

So the "id" of the db-factory works, but the "db-factory-ref" of the mongo-conver has to be set accordingly:

<mongo:db-factory id="xmlDbFactory" ... />
<mongo:mapping-converter db-factory-ref="xmlDbFactory">
