I have been struggling for some time now to get the properties to work, however I am having no luck. I have two configuration XML files in my project, one is a servlet config and the other is the global spring config xml.
Servlet config xml:
<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"

<property name="prefix">

</property>
<property name="suffix">

</property>
</bean>
Spring config xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</bean>

</beans>
So the property access above in the spring xml works fine because the property file is loaded within the same scope.
Here is the web.xml where I'm loading the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app metadata-complete="true" version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
<display-name>Test Application</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring-config.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/api/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
However, I have a bean in the servlet scope where I'm trying to use @Value but it's always null.
package com.test.loadbalancer;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.util.StringUtils;
import com.test.micro.util.registry.NotificationMessage;
@Component
public class RegistryEndpointEnricher {
private static final String defaultRetrieveServiceURL = "http://localhost:8090/registry/rest/retrieveServiceInfo";
private static final String defaultErrorServiceURL = "http://localhost:8090/registry/rest/notifyError";
@Value("${registry.retrieveserviceurl}")
String registryRetrieveServicesUrl;
@Value("${registry.errorserviceurl}")
String registryErrorUrl;
@Autowired
private Environment env;
public String getEndpoint(NotificationMessage nmMessage) {
populateURLs();
String registryURl = null;
switch (nmMessage.getNotificationType()) {
case RETRIEVESERVICEINFO:
registryURl = registryRetrieveServicesUrl;
break;
case ERROR:
registryURl = registryErrorUrl;
break;
default:
break;
}
return registryURl;
}
private void populateURLs() {
if (StringUtils.isEmpty(registryRetrieveServicesUrl)) {
registryRetrieveServicesUrl = defaultRetrieveServiceURL;
}
if (StringUtils.isEmpty(registryErrorUrl)) {
registryErrorUrl = defaultErrorServiceURL;
}
}
}
Environment is null when I debug, same as both string properties. Maybe I am not using the code correctly but is there a way to share properties between the parent and servlet?
P.S I know that there's a way to provide a default value in the annotation, but please ignore the fact that I did it myself manually.
