Inject a String with Spring 2.0.6 and Maven2

Here's a real quick how-to for injecting a simple String value with Spring 2.0.6.

Configuration File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC 
  "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" 
  "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>
    <bean id="proxyHost" class="java.lang.String">
        <constructor-arg>
         <value>10.9.5.120</value>
        </constructor-arg>
    </bean>
</beans>

Java Code

public class stringInjectionExample {
  private static final String SPRING_FILE = "sip.xml";
  private static final String PROXY_HOST_BEAN_NAME = "proxyHost";  

  public void init() {
    Resource resource = new ClassPathResource(SPRING_FILE);
    BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(resource);
    String proxyHost = (String) factory.getBean(PROXY_HOST_BEAN_NAME);

    System.out.println("Using ProxyHost: " + proxyHost);
  }
}

Output

Using ProxyHost: 10.9.5.120
