Autowiring a collection via the constructor with Spring

Question

I have what seems to be a simple problem, as stated in the title. Here is the kind of class I have :

public class Foo {
    @Autowired
    public Foo(@Qualifier(         


        

Answer 1

As others stated it is impossible to use @Autowired for Strings and collections of String. You can use @Value with spring EL here assuming you have spring in version 3:

public class Foo {
    @Autowired
    public Foo(@Value("#{bar}") Set bar) {
        // ...
    }
}
