Spring Util Map Annotation with Enum key
I wanted create java.util.Map in spring context xml file which injects the Map to one of my service class, but i was struggling with this because my Map's key is an enum value , Finally I was able fix that issue as following, in Spring we can specify the key-type and value-type specifically with generics values. That part was the interesting and new part i found time. All it goes as follows. <map key-type="EnumType"> <entry key="ENUM_VALUE" value-ref="leastLoadedAssignmentMechanism" /> </map>
