HELP IoC problem

[Costin Leau]

Your setter/getter has to be of the same type with the internal field.

private Map exchangeCodes ;

public Map getExchangeCodes() {
return exchangeCodes;
}

You can however have a set

private Set exchangeCodes;

public Set getExchangeCodes() {
return exchangeCodes.keySet();
}

but then you have to transform the map into a set. You can do this by using a factory-method inside Spring xml:

   <bean id="properties.factory" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean>
      <property name="location" value="classpath:myValues.properties"/>
</bean>
...
<property name="exchangeCodes">
<bean factory-bean="propertiesFactory"
      factory-method="keySet"/></property>
