Using XML as a property value within a Spring context file?

[mikeapex]

Hi,

I want to create some test data consisting of XML within a spring context file. Something like:

<bean id="data-xmltest-user12345" class="java.lang.String">
<constructor-arg index="0" type="java.lang.String">
<value>
<NetworkProfileUser mlns="http://www.hodo.org/test/ns">
<UserId>12345</UserId>
<Name>Carmen Electra</Name>
</NetworkProfileUser>
</value>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>

Currently this breaks when creating the ApplicationContext. Is there any way to tell the <value> that this is XML and it is what I want?

Thanks,

Mike

Did you try wrapping it in a CDATA section?

Example:

<![CDATA[<greeting>Hello, world!</greeting>]]>

Doh! Overlooked the obvious again. Thanks, that worked
