MapMain.java
package collection.map.example;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
public class MapMain {
public static void main( String[] args )
{
BeanFactory beanfactory = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("context.xml");
CollegeBean coll = (CollegeBean)beanfactory.getBean("collegeBean2");
System.out.println(coll);
}
}

context.xml
<!-- Spring Map Property -->

<map>
<entry key="Key 1" value="1" />
<entry key="Key 2" value-ref="studentBean2" />
<entry key="Key 3">
<bean class="collection.map.example.StudentBean">
