Setting an array of Strings

[pglezen]

Hi,

I'm trying to set an array of strings as required by the TransactionProxyFactoryBean's proxyInterfaces property. Is that natively supported, or do I need to define my own PropertyEditor. I'm hoping for something like the List syntax.

<bean id="myProxy" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
   ... other properties ...
   <property name="proxyInterfaces">
      <value>xyz.Interface1</value>
      <value>xyz.Interface2</value>
   </propery>
</bean>

Hi Paul,

I would rather suggest:

...
   <property name="proxyInterfaces">
      <list>
        <value>xyz.Interface1</value>
        <value>xyz.Interface2</value>
      </list>
   </property>
...

See description in spring-beans.DTD.

Thanks, Erik. But wouldn't that only be valid for a List property? Or would that somehow be translated into a String[]?

Hmm. Upon following the advice of checking out the spring-beans.DTD, I see that it does indeed indicate that it will be mapped to an array type.

If you're mapping to a String[] a comma separated list of values will work:

<bean id="myProxy" class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
   ... other properties ...
   <property name="proxyInterfaces">
      <value>xyz.Interface1,xyz.Interface2,xyz.Interface3</value>
   </propery>
</bean>
