How to assign bean s property an Enum value in Spring config file

0 votes

I have a standalone enum type defined, something like this:

package my.pkg.types;

public enum MyEnumType {
    TYPE1,
    TYPE2
}

Now, I want to inject a value of that type into a bean property:

<bean name="someName" class="my.pkg.classes">
   <property name="type" value="my.pkg.types.MyEnumType.TYPE1" />
</bean>

and that didn't work 

How should I Inject an Enum into a spring bean?

Hello @kartik,

Use the value child element instead of the value attribute and specify the Enum class name:

<property name="residence">
    <value type="SocialSecurity$Residence">ALIEN</value>
</property>

The advantage of this approach over just writing value="ALIEN" is that it also works if Spring can't infer the actual type of the enum from the property 

Hope this is helpfull!!
