I want to initialise a multi-dimensional array with spring.net. How to define the array?
I tried this
<object type="string[][][]" id="my_array" name="my_array">
<constructor-arg>
<list>
<value>
["A", "B", "C"],
["a", "b", "c"],
["E", "F", "G"]
</value>
<value>
["X", "Y", "Z"],
["x", "y", "z"],
["U", "V", "W"]
</value>
</list>
</constructor-arg>
</object>
but got a type exception. I also tried it with an System.Collection.ArrayList, but this didn't work either.
ArrayList configured as follows works for me. Tried and tested :) :
<object id="my_array" name="my_array" type="System.Collections.ArrayList">
<constructor-arg>
<list>
<list>
<list>
<value>"A"</value>
<value>"B"</value>
<value>"C"</value>
</list>
<list>
<value>"a"</value>
<value>"b"</value>
<value>"c"</value>
</list>
<list>
<value>"E"</value>
<value>"F"</value>
<value>"G"</value>
</list>
</list>
<list>
<list>
<value>"X"</value>
<value>"Y"</value>
<value>"Z"</value>
</list>
<list>
<value>"x"</value>
<value>"y"</value>
<value>"z"</value>
</list>
<list>
<value>"U"</value>
<value>"V"</value>
<value>"W"</value>
</list>
</list>
</list>
</constructor-arg>
</object>
There's ways to use a string [][][]
if you want using <List element-type="String[]"......
Also, there's apparently a way to use comma separated values for list elements to make the above answer smaller, but I can't get it to work. Something like:
<list>
<value>"a","b","c"</value>
</list>
