how to change map entry key type ?

[matt_koss]

Is there way to change a key type from the default String to something else, when defined in:

<map>
<entry>
<key>


.....

I need to use Integer wrapper class.

Any clues ?

Can you not specify type="java.lang.Integer" on the key element? Not sure, just a guess

Do not think so. At least not in 1.2.5. Not sure if version 2.X will support this or what ?

No idea then, sorry

Spring 1.2.7 (and 1.2.6 I think) allow the type attribute (obviously Spring 2.x has this feature also.

Hold on, are you talking about type of the value, or type of the key ?
There is a type attrtibute in the value tag, but I am not sure about the key.
At least dtd does not seem to have it.
