private URL personalSite;
// Getter/setter methods omitted
public String toString() {
return "First name: " + getFirstName()
+ " - Last name: " + getLastName()
+ " - Birth date: " + getBirthDate()
+ " - Personal site: " + getPersonalSite();
}
}
As shown in Listing 14-1, for the birth date attribute, we use JodaTime's DateTime class. In addition,
there is a URL type field that indicates the contact's personal web site if applicable.
Now suppose we want to construct Contact objects in Spring's ApplicationContext, with values
stored either in Spring's configuration file or in a properties file. Listing 14-2 shows the Spring XML
configuration file (prop-editor-app-context.xml).
