Question
I am using spring. I need to read values from properties file. This is internal properties file not the external properties file. Properties file can be as below.
some.properties —file name. values are below.
abc = abc
def = dsd
ghi = weds
jil = sdd
I need to read those values from the properties file not in traditional way. How to achieve it? Is there any latest approach with spring 3.0?
Answer
Configure PropertyPlaceholder in your context:
Then you refer to the properties in your beans:
@Component
class MyClass {
@Value(“${my.property.name}”)
private String[] myValues;
}
EDIT: updated the code to parse property with mutliple comma-separated values:
my.property.name=aaa,bbb,ccc
If that doesnt work, you can define a bean with properties, inject and process it manually:
and the bean:
@Component
class MyClass {
@Resource(name=”myProperties”)
private Properties myProperties;
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
// do whatever you need with properties
}
}
