How to set a Map in ApplicationContext with database Values

[ARANATE]

Good morning, guys.

I know how I can set a Map in ApplicationContext in an usual way (writing key-values pairs) but I need retrieve values of database and insert into a MAP in applicationContext. That's possible?.

I mean:
I have a Map property called provinceMap in my bean:

Map provinceMap;

I need to fill it with database values in ApplicattionContext.

Isnt the logic very specific to your application ?

Shouldn't spring be calling can Spring call a procedure and populating your bean ?

[I remember doing something similar using Spring Batch +Spring Jdbc+ Spring Integration where the usecase was slightly different and I had to call JDBC procedure to get my job executed at regular intervals]
