How to set Class value to spring bean property?

Just inject the class name, and Spring will convert it to a Class object for you, e.g.

<bean class="com.x.y.FilterJsonView">   <property name="clazz" value="com.x.y.SomeClass"/></bean>

java spring class javabeans

Just supply the class name. Say you want clazz to be String.class:

<bean id="beanId" class="FilterJsonView">    <property name="clazz" value="java.lang.String"/></bean>

Spring has a PropertyEditorSupport implementation called ClassEditor that handles the conversions.
