Spring - How do you set Enum keys in a Map with annotations

Question

I\'ve an Enum class

public enum MyEnum{
    ABC;
}

than my \'Mick\' class has this property

private Map

        

Answer 1

This worked for me...

My Spring application context:

My class where the Map gets injected:

public class MyClass {

    private @Resource Map myMap;
}

The important things to note are that in the Spring context I used SpEL (Spring Expression Language) which is only available since version 3.0. And in my class I used @Resource, neither @Inject (it didn't work for me) nor @Autowired (I didn't try this). The only difference I'm aware of between @Resource and @Autowired, is that the former auto-inject by bean name while the later does it by bean type.

Enjoy!
