try
Code:
beanReader.loadBeanDefinitions(resource);
param.setLovResolver((LOVResolver)beanFactory.getBean("config"));
The properties file is parsed with this method (from PropertiesBeanDefinitionReader).
Code:
/**
* Register bean definitions contained in a Map.
* Ignore ineligible properties.
* @param map Map name -> property (String or Object). Property values
* will be strings if coming from a Properties file etc. Property names
* (keys) <b>must</b> be strings. Class keys must be Strings.
* @param prefix match or filter within the keys in the map: e.g. 'beans.'
* (can be empty or <code>null</code>)
* @param resourceDescription description of the resource that the Map came from
* (for logging purposes)
* @return the number of bean definitions found
* @throws BeansException in case of loading or parsing errors
* @see #registerBeanDefinitions(Map, String)
*/
public int registerBeanDefinitions(Map map, String prefix, String resourceDescription)
throws BeansException {
if (prefix == null) {
prefix = "";
}
int beanCount = 0;
for (Iterator it = map.keySet().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
Object key = it.next();
if (!(key instanceof String)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal key [" + key + "]: only Strings allowed");
}
String keyString = (String) key;
if (keyString.startsWith(prefix)) {
// Key is of form: prefix<name>.property
String nameAndProperty = keyString.substring(prefix.length());
// Find dot before property name, ignoring dots in property keys.
int sepIdx = -1;
int propKeyIdx = nameAndProperty.indexOf(PropertyAccessor.PROPERTY_KEY_PREFIX);
if (propKeyIdx != -1) {
sepIdx = nameAndProperty.lastIndexOf(SEPARATOR, propKeyIdx);
}
else {
sepIdx = nameAndProperty.lastIndexOf(SEPARATOR);
}
if (sepIdx != -1) {
String beanName = nameAndProperty.substring(0, sepIdx);
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Found bean name '" + beanName + "'");
}
if (!getBeanFactory().containsBeanDefinition(beanName)) {
// If we haven't already registered it...
registerBeanDefinition(beanName, map, prefix + beanName, resourceDescription);
++beanCount;
}
}
else {
// Ignore it: It wasn't a valid bean name and property,
// although it did start with the required prefix.
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Invalid bean name and property [" + nameAndProperty + "]");
}
}
}
}
return beanCount;
}
So it is checking for properties starting with prefix, stripping the prefix, letting only the .(class) reside, which leaves a bean definition without a beanname.
puzzling "bean name must not be empty" error

although, i've gotta wonder, why the same lines of code worked in my spring rich client app and not here. perhaps the slight version difference... anyway thank you!
