Spring bean definition : ArrayList of String array

Question

How can I define a Spring bean in an xml config file matching this attribute ?

private List<String[]> durations;

I've different things, but none of them seems to work - I'm getting exception from the parser.

Thank you !

What did you try that isn't working, and what version of Spring? — Dave Newton

You could try a <list> in <list> in the spring application context. A <list> is converted by spring to either a real java.util.List or an array.

    <property name="durations">
        <list>
            <list>
                <value>abc</value>
                <value>def</value>
            </list>
            <list>
                <value>abc2</value>
                <value>def2</value>
            </list>
        </list>
    </property>

Try this:

    <bean name="test" class="Test">
    <property name="values" value="hugo,emil"/>
</bean>

Spring should carryout the conversion for you if you seperate the values with comma's.

values is a String[] array
