Loading different set of beans based on value of a system property

[sowmya raghavendra]

Hi,

I have 2 sets of beans. I want to load one of these sets based on a system property through spring context file.

Can I do this using spring?

Example: if the system property repositoryLoad = true

i want to load
<bean id="mapppingLoader" class="RepositoryMappingDefinitionLoader"></bean>
<bean id="routingScriptLoader" class="RepositoryScriptDefinitionLoader"></bean>

or else

<bean id="mapppingLoader" class="CacheMappingDefinitionLoader"></bean>
<bean id="routingScriptLoader" class="CacheMappingDefinitionLoader"></bean>

I suggest you read the reference guide, what you want can be achieved using profiles...

Thanks Marten...

But I am using Spring 3.0.5 not 3.1.

Then it might be worth an upgrade (should be a drop-in replacement).

Else create a factorBean for each bean which returns a different instance based on the property.

Thanks Marten for the reply..

I think I wont be able to go with upgradation. I will do with factoryBean.
