    <p>Consider the following scenario. I have a Spring application context with a bean whose properties should be configurable, think <code>DataSource</code> or <code>MailSender</code>. The mutable application configuration is managed by a separate bean, let's call it <code>configuration</code>.</p> <p>An administrator can now change the configuration values, like email address or database URL, and I would like to re-initialize the configured bean at runtime.</p> <p>Assume that I can't just simply modify the property of the configurable bean above (e.g. created by <code>FactoryBean</code> or constructor injection) but have to recreate the bean itself.</p> <p>Any thoughts on how to achieve this? I'd be glad to receive advice on how to organize the whole configuration thing as well. Nothing is fixed. :-)</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>To clarify things a bit: I am not asking how to update the configuration or how to inject static configuration values. I'll try an example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;beans&gt; &lt;util:map id="configuration"&gt; &lt;!-- initial configuration --&gt; &lt;/util:map&gt; &lt;bean id="constructorInjectedBean" class="Foo"&gt; &lt;constructor-arg value="#{configuration['foobar']}" /&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; &lt;bean id="configurationService" class="ConfigurationService"&gt; &lt;property name="configuration" ref="configuration" /&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; &lt;/beans&gt; </code></pre> <p>So there's a bean <code>constructorInjectedBean</code> that uses constructor injection. Imagine the construction of the bean is very expensive so using a prototype scope or a factory proxy is not an option, think <code>DataSource</code>.</p> <p>What I want to do is that every time the configuration is being updated (via <code>configurationService</code> the bean <code>constructorInjectedBean</code> is being recreated and re-injected into the application context and dependent beans.</p> <p>We can safely assume that <code>constructorInjectedBean</code> is using an interface so proxy magic is indeed an option.</p> <p>I hope to have made the question a little bit clearer.</p>

    1. COSo the `configuration` bean needs to be updated at runtime - or every time the admin changes the values? I that your question? Or do you want the `DataSource` / `MailSender` beans to use the updated configuration at runtime? Or is it both?

    2. COIt's the second: I want to update the injected configuration values at runtime (see edit in OP).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
