Spring get BeanFactory property

In Spring, you can get a reference to a BeanFactory using the following syntax:

<constructor-arg ref="&amp;beanFactory" />

This is necessary because if you reference the beanFactory without the & you will simply get an instance of a bean that the factory produces.

In Spring, you can get a reference to a Bean Property using the following syntax:

<constructor-arg ref="bean.propertyName" />

Now what I need to do is to combine these tactics to get a bean property from a beanFactory. I have tried the following syntax with no success:

<constructor-arg ref="&amp;beanFactory.propertyName" />

The above syntax does not work because Spring attempts to reference a bean with the name beanFactory.propertyName
