I have a web application in which I'm using spring MVC. I have defined few constants in sample.properties file. spring-servlet is the servlet that gets initialized for all urls in my app. spring-servlet:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.0.xsd">
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:sample.properties"/>
</beans>
In one of my java classes I access the value of one of the properties like this:
package com.sample;
import com.google.gson.JsonArray;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
public class Validator {
@Value("${credit}")
String credits;
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(Validator.class);
public void checkRating() {
LOG.debug(credits);
}
}
sample.properties:
credit=[{"duration":15,"credit":10},{"duration":30,"credit":20}]
When Validator is called from a controller, it just logs it as ${credit} in my log file. I dont get its value. Similarly, if I put an integer / floating point number in the properties file, I get an error saying it cannot be cast into integer / float. Am I missing any configuration?
