Spring resource loading using * (classpath*: prefix)

Question

In Spring, bean initialization using XML supports resource loading using the classpath*: prefix (ant style)

<bean id="mapper" class="org.Class"
    scope="singleton">
    <property name="mappingFiles" value="classpath*:/mappings/*Mapping.xml" />
</bean>

How do I achieve the same result when using @Bean annotation?

private Resource res;

Thank you for the Answer , with this approach we can read single file at a time, we have number of files with prefix Mapping.xml, and to avoid unnecessary code we would like to use same approach as in XML – Stuck in Java Apr 08 '15 at 17:56
Thank You again @Evgeni , below worked for me. @Value("classpath*:/mappings/*Mapping.xml") private Resource[] resources;' – Stuck in Java Apr 09 '15 at 16:05
