Switching the ExpandoBridge implementation has been simplified with Spring.

To replace the default implementation with a custom implementation, modify the following bean in ext-spring.xml

<bean id="com.liferay.portlet.expando.util.ExpandoBridgeFactoryUtil" class="com.liferay.portlet.expando.util.ExpandoBridgeFactoryUtil">
<property name="expandoBridgeFactory">
<bean class="com.liferay.portlet.expando.util.ExpandoBridgeFactoryImpl" />
</property>
</bean>

In order to use the use custom implementation, replace all direct uses of ExpandoBridgeImpl

new ExpandoBridgeImpl(className, classPK)

with the following

ExpandoBridgeFactoryUtil.getExpandoBridge(className, classPK)
