          org.springframework.core.io.support.ResourceArrayPropertyEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:
  PropertyEditor

    public class ResourceArrayPropertyEditor

extends PropertyEditorSupport

Editor for `Resource` arrays, to automatically convert `String` location patterns (e.g. `"file:C:/my*.txt"` or `"classpath*:myfile.txt"`) to `Resource` array properties. Can also translate a collection or array of location patterns into a merged Resource array.

The path may contain `${...}` placeholders, to be resolved as system properties: e.g. `${user.dir}`.

Delegates to a `ResourcePatternResolver`, by default using a `PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver`.
