Spring: Using builder pattern to create a bean

I use ektorp to connect to CouchDB.

The way to build an ektorp HttpClient instance is to use builder pattern:

HttpClient httpClient = new StdHttpClient.Builder()
                                .host("mychouchdbhost")
                                .port(4455)
                                .build();

I am relatively new to Spring. Please advice me on how I can configure an HttpClient in my context to create it via the Builder.

One way to do this is with @Configuration. Are any other options?
