RE: [Springframework-developer] Custom bean instantiation language?

[Jean-Philippe G. <ga...@ya...>]

I choose the { and } characters for the lists and [ ] for the maps.

So instead of...

<bean id="myBean" class="example.MyClass">
  <property name="someList">
    <list>
      <value>item value</value>
      <ref bean="beanReference"/>
    </list>    
  </property>

  <property name="someMap">
    <map>
      <entry key="key1">
        <value>value1</value>
      </entry>
      <entry key="key2">
        <value>value2</value>
      </entry>
    </map>
  </property>
</bean>

...I have...

<myBean class="example.MyClass">
  <someList>{item value, @beanReference}</someList>
  <someMap>[key1=value1, key2=value2]</someMap>
</myBean>

Note that I've allowed bean references to be keys.  Hence, the following is
legal:

<myBean class="example.MyClass">
  <someList>{item value, @beanReference}</someList>
  <someMap>[@beanReference=value1, key2=value2]</someMap>
</myBean>

Of course, when a meta-character (@ , [ ] { } =) is part of the key or value,
an escape character is required:

<myBean class="example.MyClass">
  <emailAddresses>{user1\@domain1.com, user2\@domain2.com}</emailAddresses>
</myBean>
