Can we use @Environment twice in the spring application with different classes?

[Mohammed Sardar.]

Hi,

I 'm trying to access the properties file other than a place where all the application's configuration resides, so I'm trying to use @Environment twice in my applicatiobn.  I'm trying to load a properties to implement a email notification functionality to access the properties file using @Environment by Autowiring.  But I'm failing while reading the property file using env.getProperty("email.smtp.host")); Getting null in the place of property value when executing the app.  Actually, I'm trying to use two Configuration file, is this what blocks me to autowire Environment property ? I tried to replace with @Component and adding email package to componentscan list as well.  Can you someone shed some light on this please ?

1. Tried to resolve this by implementing EnvironmentAware  interface as below to get the property value using load() but that still didn't help me.

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:email.properties")
public class PropertiesUtil implements EnvironmentAware {

    @Autowired
     private Environment environment;

     public void sendPlainTextEmail(String mailMessage) throws AddressException, MessagingException{
     try {
	    // Configure SMTP
	        Properties properties = new Properties();
		properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host",this.env.getProperty("email.smtp.host"));
      }

    @Override
    public void setEnvironment(final Environment environment) {
        this.environment = environment;
    }

    @Bean
    public String load(String propertyName)
    {
        return environment.getRequiredProperty(propertyName);
    }
}
