Code:

<bean class="myClass" >
  <property name="myProp" value="${some_string}"..

in myClass:

List<String> myProp;

and 2 setters:

public void setMyProp(String ...)

and

public void setMyProp(List<String> ...)

Spring container always use method that correspond type of property. Does it possible configure in xml file use setter setMyProp(String ...) ?

I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase it? – Sotirios Delimanolis Oct 07 '13 at 16:21
Are you saying Spring tries to use "setMyProp(List ...)" and not "setMyProp(String ...)" which you preferred? – David M. Karr Oct 07 '13 at 16:23
Why do you need two method? – Roman C Oct 07 '13 at 16:31
Taking a guess, that you want a list of strings for your value. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13528250/inject-array-of-strings-to-a-bean-in-spring – Gus Oct 07 '13 at 16:32
Yes, spring select setter that accept type of property in class, not overloaded method that accept type of parameter supplied. – user710818 Oct 07 '13 at 16:37
Can we use a setter inside a setter to do so..? – user2339071 Oct 07 '13 at 16:54
