Performing Aritmatic using Spring like, performing, following, navigate

amy

Hi,

Can I extract arithmetic calculations into my Spring file? For example if I require to divide field a of object a by field b of object a?

Thanks..

Though I do not know what you want to achieve with that, but I think it might be possible.

You can use MethodInvokingFactoryBean to execute methods performing calculations and you can use PropertyPathFactoryBean to navigate bean properties.

That said, I like to add the following:
- Direct access to (private) fields might be problematic
- Maybe using a script language for configuration (Spring supports this) might simplify the operation
