Define guava HashBasedTable/Table in spring xml config

Question

I'm trying to create and populate a guava HashBasedTable in spring xml config file but I haven't been able to.

My table looks like this:

Table<String, Foo, Bar> myTable;

And I've tried this in my xml but don't know how put new value into the table:

<property name="myTable">
        <bean class="com.google.common.collect.HashBasedTable" factory-method="create">
            <!--- how do I insert value in here??? -->
        </bean>
</property>

If you want to do this exclusively in xml, it's a bit tricky: I see guava doesn't offer too many options for putting values in that Table. There is an approach, but it's weird for more than one insert:

<bean id="myTable" class="com.google.common.collect.HashBasedTable" factory-method="create" />

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
    <property name="targetObject">
        <ref local="myTable" />
    </property>
    <property name="targetMethod">
        <value>put</value>
    </property>
    <property name="arguments">
        <list>
            <value>1</value>
            <value>1</value>
            <value>value</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>
