The spring.xml file is given below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

        </list>
    </property>
</bean>
<context:annotation-config/>
<context:component-scan base-package="test"/>

When i removed the list tag from the above code the i was able to run without exception. the void main is given below.

public static void main(String args[]) {

    ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring.xml");
    System.out.println(context.getMessage("greeting", null, "hiiiii", null));
}

I have created a file mymessages.prperties with on key value pair that is greeting. Please help me find what i did wrong in this.

Answer 1

您正在使用<property name="basename"> ，它应该是针对单个资源的。但是对于多个资源，您应该使用<property name="basenames"> ..您的错误消息明确指出，不能从字符串转换为列表..你正在使用字符串类型但传递列表类型..所以使用basenames ..希望它有帮助...

Answer 2

Change this line:

<property name="basename">

to:

<property name="basenames">
