Accessing array in SpEL

In this post under Spring SpEL, I will show how to access array elements in SpEL expressions. For our example I will use the two beans. Below is the class structure of them Bean1 class package spel.package2; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class Bean1 { private int[] values = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4}; public…… Continue reading Accessing array in SpEL

SpEL Simple example
