spring bean creation for java builder pattern objects

I'm using Google Gson(gson) library form reading/writing json files and spring mvc 3 in my web application side.

So In controller, I want to create a singleton instance of Gson with pretty printing. In java the code would be,

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();

In Controller, I created an autowired entry as below,

@Autowired
private Gson gson;

and the xml bean configuration is as below,

<bean id="gsonBuilder" class="com.google.gson.GsonBuilder">
         <property name="prettyPrinting" value="true"/>
 </bean>  
 <bean id="gson" factory-bean="gsonBuilder" factory-method="create"/>

It throws the following exception in catalina logs,

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'prettyPrinting' of bean class [com.google.gson.GsonBuilder]: Bean property 'prettyPrinting' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?
    at org.springframework.beans.BeanWrapperImpl.setPropertyValue(BeanWrapperImpl.java:1024)
    at org.springframework.beans.BeanWrapperImpl.setPropertyValue(BeanWrapperImpl.java:900)

    at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.applyPropertyValues(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1358)

I knew that the setter signature of setPrettyPrinting() is different than spring expects, that's why spring is throwing the exception.

  public GsonBuilder setPrettyPrinting() {
    prettyPrinting = true;
    return this;
  }

But I'm unable to find a way to wire the builder pattern beans. I'm pretty new to spring. Can any one let me know, whether it is possible to solve this problem in xml bean approach ?
