You can use a factory method to achieve this. I checked in an example
for you:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=689356
We should be able to support a list of simple types converted from a
string value using a PropertyEditor. Anyone know if/how we can do that?

Hi all,
I've been trying to setup a module for MINA to enable easy use of
XBean-Spring with MINA classes. I've been trying to figure out how to
compose the XML for a List property of a class. The List contains
elements
extending the java.net.SocketAddress class which I cannot alter the
javadocs
of. Here's a mock up of the situation:
class Foo
{
....
public void setLocalAddress( SocketAddress address )
....
public void setLocalAddresses( List<? extends SocketAddress>
addresses)
....
}
The first property taking a single address is configured easily
using the
following XML frag:
<foo localAddress="192.168.0.1:10001" />
I'm using a InetSocketAddressEditor (PropertyEditor) which is
registered
with Spring for SocketAddress.class. It works great for the first
property. However I have not been able to figure out much less find
a way
to make the second property with the list of addresses work. I've
tried a
number of combinations but none have worked. Here's a list of them:
<foo localAddresses="192.168.0.1:10001 192.168.0.1:10002" />
---
<foo localAddresses="192.168.0.1:10001, 192.168.0.1:10002" />
---
<foo localAddresses="192.168.0.1:10001,192.168.0.1:10002" />
---
<foo>
<localAddresses>
<s:value>192.168.0.1:10001</s:value>
<s:value>192.168.0.1:10002</s:value>
</localAddresses>
</foo>
I think half the problem is in the fact that I cannot annotate the
javadocs
of the SocketAddress in the JDK. I was wondering if anyone has an
idea on
how to get around this limitation.
Thanks,
Alex
