Set property Map<Object, Class<?>> into spring.xml

In my class I have this setter 

public void setSomehing(Map<Object, Class<?>>  beans){
...
}

Object is some bean, and Class is it's interface. I try more combination but I always got

cvc-complex-type.2.3: Element 'map' cannot have character [children], because the type's content type is element-only.

Some of combination is: 

<bean id="rmiServerBeanFactory" class="org.infobip.spring.remoting.server.StandaloneCompositeRmiServerBeanFactory">
        <property name="something">
               <map>
                 <entry key-ref="myBean" value="org.mypackage.MyBeanInterface"/>
             </map>
        </property>
      </bean>

Please help. how to set this in spring.xml?

Your XML formatting and syntax is wrong somewhere. What it really means (the Sinn) is that the ... element is allowed to contain sub-elements, but not naked text ("content type is element-only") and the stray plus sign is naked text.

There's a few ways of doing this, but one of the more compact ones is as follows:

<map value-type="java.lang.Class">
    <entry key-ref="myBean" 
           value="org.mypackage.MyBeanInterface"/>
</map>

(Tested on Spring 3.0.)

hm maybe this example in my application helps you:

namespace util is 

xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" 

   <property name="something">
        <util:map map-class="java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap">
            <entry key="a" value="b"/>
        </util:map>
    </property>

This error message is due to a syntax error in the XML. In this example, you only want the map element to have a single entry child right? Look for stray characters between the opening and closing map tags. Try retyping all then content of that element again as you intended it.

See a similar problem and solution here. You only need to look at the first and last post.
