Application Context set up for Java Inheritance

[geek.shrek]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure inheritance in java in my applicationContext.xml

Here is my java classes:

public class Bicycle
{
     private String name;
     public getName(){return name;}
     public setName(String n){name=n;}
}

public class MountainBike extends Bicycle
{
}

public class KidBike extends Bicycle
{
}

Can someone show me how can I configure my application context to map this?

I would like to set the property name as bean property.

<bean id="name" class="Bicycle">
	<property name="name" value="ABC"/>
</bean>

Thanks,

It's not really clear what's not working for you. If you'd like to create a bean of type MountainBike, with the 'name' property set to "ABC", it's no problem:

Here's how it would look with class Bicycle:

<bean id="bike" class="Bicycle">
	<property name="name" value="ABC"/>
</bean>

And in the case of MountainBike:

<bean id="bike" class="MountainBike">
	<property name="name" value="ABC"/>
</bean>
