Class TypedStringValue

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.beans.factory.config.TypedStringValue
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<TypedStringValue>, BeanMetadataElement
public class TypedStringValue extends Object implements BeanMetadataElement, Comparable<TypedStringValue>
Holder for a typed String value. Can be added to bean definitions in order to explicitly specify a target type for a String value, for example for collection elements.

This holder will just store the String value and the target type. The actual conversion will be performed by the bean factory.

1.2

      Only necessary for manipulating a registered value, for example in BeanFactoryPostProcessors.

    • getTargetType

      public Class<?> getTargetType()
      Return the type to convert to.

      Return whether this typed String value carries a target type.

    • resolveTargetType

      @Nullable public Class<?> resolveTargetType(@Nullable ClassLoader classLoader) throws ClassNotFoundException
      Determine the type to convert to, resolving it from a specified class name if necessary. Will also reload a specified Class from its name when called with the target type already resolved.
      Parameters:
      classLoader - the ClassLoader to use for resolving a (potential) class name
      Returns:
      the resolved type to convert to
      Throws:
      ClassNotFoundException - if the type cannot be resolved
