copied!<p>There is no way spring will do this one for you. You will need to implement the parsing yourself. However, spring can provide some convenience utility classes for you:</p> <ul> <li>You can load the properties file via <a href="http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/xsd-config.html#xsd-config-body-schemas-util-properties" rel="nofollow"><code>util:properties</code></a> config element</li> <li>You can use <a href="http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/3.2.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/beans/BeanWrapperImpl.html" rel="nofollow"><code>BeanWrapperImpl</code></a> to help you set properties on your custom beans.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Example</strong> (might contain typos):</p> <pre><code><util:properties id="carProperties" location="classpath:car.properties"/> <bean class="my.package.CarLoader"> <property name="sourceProperties" ref="carProperties" /> </bean> </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code>public class Car { private String name; private String category; // ... Getters and setters } </code></pre> <hr> <pre><code>public class CarLoader { private Properties sourceProperties; public List<Car> getCars() { List<Car> cars = new ArrayList<Car>(); for (Object key : sourceProperties.keySet()) { // Do the parsing - naive approach String[] values = sourceProperties.getProperty((String) key).split(","); // Create bean wrapper and set the parsed properties... will handle data convesions with // default property editors or can use custom ConversionService via BeanWrapper#setConversionService BeanWrapper wrappedCar = PropertyAccessorFactory.forBeanPropertyAccess(new Car()); wrappedCar.setPropertyValue("name", values[0].split(":")[0]); // Getting rid of the `:type` wrappedCar.setPropertyValue("category", values[2].split(":")[0]); // Getting rid of the `:type` // Phase 3 - prosper cars.add((Car) wrappedCar.getWrappedInstance()); } return cars; } public void setSourceProperties(Properties properties) { this.sourceProperties = properties; } } </code></pre> <hr> <p><em>UPDATE</em> basic example how to bootstrap application context from <code>main</code> method:</p> <pre><code>public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("context.xml"); CarLoader carLoader = context.getBean(CarLoader.class); for (Car car : carLoader.getCars()) { System.out.println("CAR - " + car.getName()); } } } </code></pre>
