Using Spring IoC to set up enum values

Question

Is there a way to set up such enum values via Spring IoC at construction time?

What I would like to do is to inject, at class load time, values that are hard-coded i

Answer 1

I have done it in the following way:

@Component
public class MessageSourceHelper {
    @Inject
    public MessageSource injectedMessageSource;

    public static MessageSource messageSource;

    public static String getMessage(String messageKey, Object[] arguments, Locale locale) {
        return messageSource.getMessage(messageKey, arguments, locale);
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void postConstruct() {
        messageSource = injectedMessageSource;
    }

}

That way you can easily use it in the enum to get messages in the following way:

MessageSourceHelper.getMessage(key, arguments, locale);
