  org.springframework.beans.factory.support.ManagedSet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable, Collection, Set, BeanMetadataElement, Mergeable

public class ManagedSet
extends Object
implements Set, Mergeable, BeanMetadataElement

Tag collection class used to hold managed Set values, which may include runtime bean references (to be resolved into bean objects).

Wraps a target Set, which will be a linked set if possible (that is, if running on JDK 1.4 or if Commons Collections 3.x is available).

Method Detail

setSource

public void setSource(Object source)

Set the configuration source Object for this metadata element.

The exact type of the object will depend on the configuration mechanism used.

getSource

public Object getSource()

Specified by:

getSource in interface BeanMetadataElement

setMergeEnabled

public void setMergeEnabled(boolean mergeEnabled)

Set whether merging should be enabled for this collection, in case of a 'parent' collection value being present.
