Hi all,

I've an Enum class

public enum MyEnum{
    ABC;
}

than my 'Mick' class has this property

private Map<MyEnum, OtherObj> myMap;

I've this spring xml configuration.

<util:map id="myMap">
    <entry key="ABC" value-ref="myObj" />
</util:map>

<bean id="mick" class="com.x.Mick">
    <property name="myMap" ref="myMap" />
</bean>

and this is fine.
I'd like to replace this xml configuration with Spring annotations.
Do you have any idea on how to autowire the map?

The problem here is that if I switch from xml config to the @Autowired annotation (on the myMap attribute of the Mick class) Spring is throwing this exception

nested exception is org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Key type [class com.MyEnum] of map [java.util.Map] must be assignable to [java.lang.String]

Spring is no more able to recognize the string ABC as a MyEnum.ABC object.
Any idea?

Thanks
