I have the following config in a spring applicationContext.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd">
<context:property-placeholder location="file:///absolute/path/to/foo.properties"/>
<context:property-placeholder location="file:///absolute/path/to/bar.properties"/>
<util:properties id="baz" location="file:///absolute/path/to/bar.properties"/>
I can put debug breakpoints where the property files are loaded and see the property files' values are indeed loaded.
But in my bean, @Value("#{baz.myProp}") is resolved whereas @Value("${myProp}") blows up in PropertyPlaceholderHelper, as PropertySourcesPropertyResolver can't find myProp:
DEBUG [...] - Searching for key 'myProp' in [environmentProperties]
DEBUG [...] - Searching for key 'myProp' in [systemProperties]
DEBUG [...] - Searching for key 'myProp' in [systemEnvironment]
DEBUG [...] - Could not find key 'myProp' in any property source. Returning [null]
DEBUG [...] - Searching for key 'myProp' in [localProperties]
DEBUG [...] - Could not find key 'myProp' in any property source. Returning [null]
Why is that and how can I make it work (using the $ property placeholder resolution, instead of the # SpEL syntax)?
Do the properties loaded via context:property-placeholder get discarded/overwritten by util:properties (which is only accessible via the baz reference)?
