Can Spring Parse and Inject Properties Files?
configuration-files, java, spring
Solution
Take a look at util:properties
<util:properties id="myProperties" location="classpath:com/foo/my.properties"/>
Then, to inject the Properties into your Spring-managed Bean, it's as simple as this:
@Resource(name = "myProperties")
private Properties myProperties;
Problem
I already know how to: Load properties files into my Spring configuration using: ``` <context:property-placeholder location="aaa/bbb/ccc/stuff.properties"/> ``` Build properties objects on the fly using: ``` <props><prop key="abc">some value</prop></props> ``` But what I cant do, and would be really useful, is to have Spring load a properties file and then build the matching properties object. I could then inject this into a bean in the normal way. I've searched for this elsewhere without success. Any ideas?
