Introducing Spring Framework

Chapter 5 ■ Working with Collections and Custom Types
public void setTypes(Map types) {
this.types = types;
}
public Type findById(String id){
if(log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("Start Params: " + id);
Type type = types.get(id);
}
if(log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("End Params: " + type);
return type;
}
public Type[] getAll() {
return types.values().toArray(new Type[types.values().size()]);
}
In the TypeDataRepository class (see Listing 5-3) you also removed the different fields about the type. You also
added a Map that can help you to have in memory at least some of the types you need, like a note, a web URL, a PDF
and maybe some Office documents. Furthermore, you implemented the new method findById that the TypeDataDAO
(see Listing 5-2) declares; this method will return the type by just giving the Id (using the get method from the Map
collection). Then you added some logs to see what method you are calling and what parameters (if any) you are
passing. For now it is important to know what is going on; this practice will help to debug your class in case you need
to do so. Of course, there are better ways to debug your class, like using an IDE (integrated development environment)
such as Eclipse or IntelliJ, but for now, let’s do only logs.
Collections in Your XML Configuration
Next, let’s see your XML configuration file, as shown in Listing 5-4.
