Answer 1

You can do something like this:
#Configuration
public class MyConfigurationClass {
#Bean
public AnimalCharactertitic animalColor(#Value("${color}") String color) {
AnimalCharactertitic animalCharactertitic = new AnimalCharactertitic();
animalCharactertitic.setName("Color");
animalCharactertitic.setValue(color);
return animalCharactertitic;
}
#Bean
public AnimalCharactertitic animalType(#Value("${AnimalType}") String animalType) {
AnimalCharactertitic animalCharactertitic = new AnimalCharactertitic();
animalCharactertitic.setName("Animal Type");
animalCharactertitic.setValue(animalType);
return animalCharactertitic;
}
#Bean
public AnimalFamily animalFamily(#Autowired AnimalCharactertitic animalColor,
#Autowired AnimalCharactertitic animalType) {
AnimalFamily animalFamily = new AnimalFamily();
List<AnimalCharactertitic> animalCharactertitics = new ArrayList<>();
animalCharactertitics.add(animalColor);
animalCharactertitics.add(animalType);
animalFamily.setAnimalCharactertitic(animalCharactertitics);
return animalFamily;
}
#Bean
public Animal animal(#Value("${Animal}") String animal, #Autowired AnimalFamily animalFamily) {
Animal animal = new Animal();
animal.setAnimal(animal);
animal.setAnimalFamily(animalFamily);
return animal;
}
}
