setting property of one bean using property of other bean

[harishachar]

Hi,

I am new to Spring Framework, and I need help implementing the following scenario using Spring core Framework.
I have 2 classes Class A and Class B. Class A has an ArrayList of Class B and Class B contains the properties of class A.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me on this. Also please point me to the resources where I can find the solution for the same.

Thanks & Regards
Harish

Hi,

I guess you will have a lot more chances of getting answers if you post the same question in the following forum :

Take a look at chapter 3 of the spring reference documention for details on how to define something like that in a Spring application context (http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/1.2.x/reference/beans.html).

You would end up with something like this:
<bean id="a" class="A">
<property name="bList">
<list>
<ref bean="b0"/>
<ref bean="b1"/>
</list>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="b0" class="B">
<property name="prop" value="foo"/>
</bean>
<bean id="b1" class="B">
<property name="prop" value="bar"/>
</bean>
