I am trying to read a property file in Spring mvc 4.1.6 version and I am having some issues.
Dispatcher-servlet.xml
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:login.properties"/>
My class
@Component
public class UserCheck {
@Value("${server_ip}") String server_ip;
public String isUserPresent(String userName){
System.out.println("server_ip: " + server_ip);
return "";
}
}
I am getting the server_ip as null when I print the value. My login.properties is in src/main/resources folder.
I also tried @Value("${login.server_ip}"), but then I got a different error when deploying the application. I got
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name : Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field
Is there anything else that I need to do?
Thanks.
EDIT:
My properties file looks like below:
server_ip=192.168.1.1
My complete dispatcher servlet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

EDIT 2:
My web.xml

EDIT 3: My controller class with the @PostConstruct method
@Controller
@SessionAttributes("userData")
public class UserController {
@Autowired
@Value("${server_ip}")
String server_ip;
@Value("${username}")
String username;
public @ResponseBody
@RequestMapping(value = "/validateuser")
String validateUser(@RequestParam("user") String user){
//UserCheck userCheck = new UserCheck();
//String test = userCheck.isUserPresent(user);
return "";
}//validateUser
@PostConstruct
public void init(){
System.out.println("server_ip in inti: " + server_ip);
System.out.println("username: " + username);
}
}
