Using Enums in Spring XML config

Sometimes you need to initialize a bean using an enum. This can be achieved using the Util namespace in your XML config file as follows:

Some Java code:

Enum Weapon {
  BATTLE_AXE("battle axe", 23),
  LONG_BOW("longbow", 35),
  BROAD_SWORD("broadsword", 25);

  private String name; 
  private int damage;

  private Weapon(String name, int damage){
    this.name = name;
    this.damage = damage;
  }
}

public class Warrior{
  private Weapon weapon;

  public Warrior(Weapon weapon){
    this.weapon = weapon;
  }
... 
}
