Spring Map Factory

Ths MapFactoryBean is a simple factory for shared Map instance. The map element is defined in the xml bean definitions. The setSourceMap method set the source Map which is written in xml map element. The SetTargetListClass method set the class to use target Map.

Week.java

package list.factory.example;

import java.util.Map;

public class Week {
	private Map days;

	public Map getDays() {
		return days;
	}

	public void setDays(Map days) {
		this.days = days;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "Days [lists=" + days + "]";

	}
}

AppMain.java

package list.factory.example;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class AppMain {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
				new String[] { "context.xml" });
		Week weekday = (Week) context.getBean("week");
		System.out.println(weekday);
	}
}
