We can create different beans depending on the profile name using an XML configuration or the @Profile annotation.

    resource-ref="true" cache="true" lookup-on-startup="false"
   proxy-interface="javax.sql.DataSource" />

In dev, we redefine it as follows:

<bean id="common-Datasource" 
  class="org.springframework...
