Problems using util:map

[tmaus]

Using spring 2.5.5. Configuration runs annotated driven. Component Scan is activated.
A number of annotated classes working properly. Proper namespaces are added to spring configuration.

Problem. Spring container does not properly autowire my util:map bean

Excerpt from the bean-config:
<util:map id="networkTransportMap" >
<entry key="abc" value="def"/>
</util:map>


Excerpt from the @Component annotated class using the map:
@Autowired
@Qualifier("networkTransportMap")
private Map<String,String> networkTransportMap;

Log excerpt:
Error creating bean with name 'Bar': Autowiring of fields failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Could not autowire field: private java.util.Map foo.Bar.networkTransportMap; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefini tionException: No matching bean of type [java.lang.String] found for dependency [map with value type java.lang.String]: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Aut owired(required=true), @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qual ifier(value=networkTransportMap)}
at org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autow iredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.postProcessAfterIn stantiation(AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.j ava:243)


What am I doing wrong ??

@Autowired
@Qualifier("networkTransportMap")
private Map<String,String> networkTransportMap;

In this case, Spring will actually try to autowire all beans of type java.lang.String, where the map key will be bean name. If you want to inject <util:map/> bean, use @Resource instead.

The problem is with @Qualifier("networkTransportMap"). Qualifier is not the name of the bean, but a different way to classify beans for autowire. To mark a bean as being of a given qualifier, add <qualifier> in it's definition. For example:

<util:map id="networkTransportMap" >
<entry key="abc" value="def"/>
<qualifier value="networkTransportMap"/>
</util:map>

NOTE: I suppose that util:map accepts qualifiers. Haven't tested it myself

@Autowired is based on types. I believe if you simply use @Resource(name="foo") it will work just fine.
