Spring properties file get element as an Array

Question

I m loading properties attributes from a  properties file using Spring as follows   file  elements properties base module elementToSearch 1 base module elementToSearch 2 base module elementToSearch 3 base module elementToSearch 4 base module elementToSearch 5 base module elementToSearch 6   The spring xml file  file  myapplication xml  lt bean id  some        class  com some Class  gt         lt property name  property  value    base module elementToSearch     gt   lt  bean gt    And my Class java  file  Class java public void setProperty final List lt Integer gt  elements       this elements   elements      But when debugging  the parameter elements only get the last element into the list  so  there is a list of one element with value  6   instead of a list with 6 elements   I tried other approaches  like adding in value only   base module  but then it finds no parameter in the properties file   A workaround is to have in elements properties file a list separated by commas  like   base module elementToSearch 1 2 3 4 5 6   and use it as a String and parse it  but is there a better solution

If you need to pass the asterisk symbol  you have to wrap it with quotes    In my case  I need to configure cors for websockets  So  I decided to put cors urls into application yml  For prod env I ll use specific urls  but for dev it s ok to use just     In yml file I have   websocket    cors        In Config class I have    Value    websocket cors    private String   cors

If you define your array in properties file like   base module elementToSearch 1 2 3 4 5 6   You can load such array in your Java class like this      Value    base module elementToSearch      private String   elementToSearch

And incase you a different delimiter other than comma  you can use that as well    Value       my config values   split         private String   myValues       could also be a List lt String gt    and  in your application properties you could have  my config values value1  value2  value3
