 * FactoryBean which retrieves a static or non-static field value.
 * Typically used for retrieving public static final constants.
 * <p/>
 * <p>Usage example:
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 * // standard definition for exposing a static field, specifying the "staticField" property
 * &lt;bean id="myField" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.FieldRetrievingFactoryBean"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="staticField"&gt;&lt;value&gt;java.sql.Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/property&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;
 * <p/>
 * // convenience version that specifies a static field pattern as bean name
 * &lt;bean id="java.sql.Connection.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.FieldRetrievingFactoryBean"/&gt;</pre>
