Spring - set a property only if the value is not null

Question

When using Spring, is it possible to set a property only if the value passed is not null?

Example:

Answer 1

You can create a Utility class that will act as a Factory class for some.Type, and wrap the logic there

For Example :

public class TypeFactory {
    public static Type craeteType(SomeType param){
        Type t = new Type();
        if(param!=null)
            t.setParam(param);
    }
}

and on XML configure the bean creation using this Factory method
