Bean Autowiring, PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

[Sebastian Janisch]

Hey guys,

I am currently switching to the spring auto wiring mechanism and face the following problem.

public class MyServiceClass
{
    publicMyServiceClass(String configValue)
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Using the plain xml configuration, I would wire the config value in using the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer and then simply pass the value using <constructor-arg value="${prop.name}" />

How would I do this in the auto wiring world??


Thank's for your help

As of Spring 3, you can use @Value:

@Value("${prop.name}") 
public MyServiceClass(String configValue) {
...
}

Awesome.

The PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer get's set up in the spring context the usual way right ?
