Strange behavior in constructor injection.

[Marcos Silva Pereira]

Hi, I have the following bean in my application context:

<bean id="lucenePath" class="java.io.File">
	<constructor-arg index="0">
		<value>C&#58;/Tomcat/pc2/WEB-INF/lucene-index</value>
	</constructor-arg>
</bean>

If I remove the parameter "index" in constructor-arg tag, Spring try inject dependency file path in constructor File(String, String), not in File(String). My question is: why it tries this if there is only a constructor argument?

I'm using Spring 1.1.3 and read context xml with ClassPathXmlApplicationContext class.

Best regards
