Howto inject beans into a collection

[welle]

Hi all,

I just started looking at the Microcontainer and wonder how I should inject beans into a collection (List) that is a property to another bean?

I can't find any examples how this should be done (if possible).

<bean name="a" class="xxx.xxx.A">
 <property name="listOfB">
 <list elementClass="xxx.xxx.B">
 <value><inject bean="b1"/></value>
 <value><inject bean="b2"/></value>
 <value><inject bean="b3"/></value>
 </list>
 </property>
</bean>

<bean name="b1" class="xxx.xxx.B">...</bean>
<bean name="b2" class="xxx.xxx.B">...</bean>
<bean name="b3" class="xxx.xxx.B">...</bean>

Best regards
Anders

Your example should work.

Hmm... Perhaps I should mention that I trying to get it to work under JBoiss AS 5.


It doesn't seem to recognize the "inject" within a "value" element:

org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: {urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0}inject not found as a child of {urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0}value

Here is my simple testclass B

package xxx.xxx.xxx;

import java.util.List;

public class B {

 private List actions = null;

 public void setActions(List actions) {
 this.actions = actions;
 }
}

I also tried to create the bean within the "inject" without luck.

bean name="a" class="xxx.xxx.A">
 <property name="listOfB">
 <list elementClass="xxx.xxx.B">
 <value><bean name="b1" class="xxx.xxx.B">...</bean></value>
 </list>
 </property>
</bean>

Oppss... The testclass should be is A not B...

[welle]

...and the method "setActions" should be "setListOfB"...

[alesj]

Try direct inject usage, w/o value.

That fixed it!

Thanks!
