packagecom.spring.gaurav.collection.props.use.example;

importjava.util.Properties;

public classFruitsProperties {

            privateProperties fruitAndTheirProperties;

            publicProperties getFruitAndTheirProperties() {

                        returnfruitAndTheirProperties;

            }

            publicvoid setFruitAndTheirProperties(Properties fruitAndTheirProperties) {

                        this.fruitAndTheirProperties = fruitAndTheirProperties;

            }

}

PropsCollectionUseInSpringFrameworkClient.java

packagecom.spring.gaurav.collection.props.use.example;

importjava.util.Properties;

import java.util.Set;

importorg.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;

importorg.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public classPropsCollectionUseInSpringFrameworkClient {

            publicstatic void main(String args[]) {

                        ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(

                                                "collection-props-use-in-spring-framework.xml");

                        FruitsProperties fruitsProperties = (FruitsProperties) context

                                                .getBean("fruitsPropertiesBeanId");

                        Properties prop = fruitsProperties.getFruitAndTheirProperties();

                        Set<Object> set = prop.keySet();

                        for(Object obj : set) {

                                    System.out.println("FRUIT NAME :-> " + (String) obj

                                                            + " || HELPS TO REDUCE :->"

                                                            + prop.getProperty((String) obj));

                        }

            }

}

Result:-
