Spring SpEL List/Map:
Spring spel provides the facility to get values from List or Map. It works same as in java.
Example:
MapListTest.java
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.List; import java.util.Map; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component("mapListTestBean") public class MapListTest { private Map<String, String> map; private List<String> list; public MapListTest() { map = new HashMap<String, String>(); map.put("stu1", "Mahesh"); map.put("stu2", "Vivek"); map.put("stu3", "Bharat"); list = new ArrayList<String>(); list.add("Nidhi"); list.add("Prabhjot"); list.add("Amani"); } public Map<String, String> getMap() { return map; } public void setMap(Map<String, String> map) { this.map = map; } public List<String> getList() { return list; } public void setList(List<String> list) { this.list = list; } } |
Student.java
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component("studentBean") public class Student { @Value("#{mapListTestBean.map['stu1']}") private String stu1; @Value("#{mapListTestBean.list[0]}") private String list; public String getStu1() { return stu1; } public void setStu1(String stu1) { this.stu1 = stu1; } public String getList() { return list; } public void setList(String list) { this.list = list; } } |
applicationContext.xml
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd"> <context:component-scan base-package="com.w3schools.business" /> </beans> |
Test.java
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext; import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext; /** * Spring SPEL Lists, Maps example. * @author w3schools */ public class Test { public static void main(String args[]){ //Get application context object. ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml"); //Get studentBean. Student student = (Student) context.getBean("studentBean"); //Print student properties. System.out.println("From Map: "+student.getStu1()); System.out.println("From List: "+student.getList()); } } |
Output:
From Map: Mahesh From List: Nidhi |
