[FIXED] Using Spring ConfigurationProperties to bind to Map of Enum and List properties

Issue

I have the following config object

@Getter
@Setter
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "doginfo")
public class DogConfig {
    private Map<BreedEnum, List<String>> attributes;
}

where the BreedEnum is:

public enum BreedEnum {
    PITBULL, CORGI, SHIBA
}

I would like to bind the following properties in application.properties into DogConfig:

doginfo.PITBULL.attributes[0]=attrP0
doginfo.PITBULL.attributes[1]=attrP1

doginfo.CORGI.attributes[0]=attrC0

When my app is running, the attributes config is null. How do I achieve such binding correctly? Thank you

Solution

The following should work:

doginfo.attributes.PITBULL[0]=attrP0
doginfo.attributes.PITBULL[1]=attrP1
