Is it possible to inject Spring configuration method ?

With Spring Configuration class i.e without using XML based configurations. Is it possible to Inject the factory method like in Guice ?

In Guice if I had a provider method like

  @Provides
      public DatastoreService datastoreService(String url) { // Spring will inject this method parameter, if it is mapped of course. 
        return DatastoreServiceFactory(url);
      }

Is this possible with Spring ?

Like 

@Bean
public Performer poeticDuke(Poem poem) {
return new PoeticJuggler(poem);
}

rather than: 

@Bean
public Performer poeticDuke() {
return new PoeticJuggler(sonnet29());
}

This is from the book Spring in Action 3

Yes that will work as long as the argument to the method is also a Spring bean!

Check out one of the many examples used in Spring Boot like this, this or this

Yes, sure it is possible if Poem is bean too. Otherwise it seems strange: where can Spring find Poem otherwise?
