use pom properties in xml

[Rakesh Basani]

Hi friends,

How can I use pom properties or system properties in xml files using ${ } notation.
I have a property called CONF_PATH in pom. I am using that in ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource's value tag...

<value>file:${CONF_PATH}</value>

But it is not working.. Please help me out..

In pom.. I used <resources> tag

<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<includes>
<include>**/*.xml</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>

My xml file is in src/main/resources folder


Thanks in advance,

Use the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

see the reference documentation
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.x/spring-framework-reference/html/beans.html#beans-factory-placeholderconfigurer

To inject system properties you can use this notation with SPEL

@Value("#{ systemProperties['MY_SYS_VAR'] }") 
private String myVar;

or

<property name ="myVar" value="#{systemProperties['MY_SYS_VAR']}"/>
