Question

The collection framework has Synchronization Wrappers that help create synchronized lists.

List list = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList());

I am trying to create the list from the spring xml file. Following works fine for a simple List.

<bean id="listt" class="java.util.ArrayList"/>

Is there anyway i can directly create a synchronizedList from within the xml file?

Answer 1

You can construct using Collections.synchronizedList as a static factory method:

<bean id="list" class="java.util.Collections" factory-method="synchronizedList">
  <constructor-arg><bean class="java.util.ArrayList"/></constructor-arg>
</bean>
