A bean like: <bean name="JndiBindings" class="org.jboss.naming.BindingsInitializer"> <property name="ctx"> <inject bean="InitialContextFactory" property="ctx"/> </property> <property name="bindings"> <map keyClass="java.lang.String"> <entry> <key>ints/1</key> <value class="java.lang.Integer">1</value> </entry> <entry> <key>strings/1</key> <value class="java.lang.String">String1</value> </entry> <entry> <key>bigint/1</key> <value class="java.math.BigInteger">12345.6789</value> </entry> </map> </property> </bean> Incorrectly creates a String value for the bigint/1 entry because the attempt to call BigInteger("12345.6789") fails with an java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException/java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "2345.6789" in ReflectionUtils.newInstance(Constructor<?>, Object[]) line: 153 We need to look at differentiating between failures. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
