In my Service class I am using:

import com.a2bnext.entity.A571;
import com.a2bnext.entity.ReceivingNumber;
#Service
public class FileUploadServiceImpl implements FileUploadService {
#Value("${supporting.documents.location}")
private String supportingDocumentsLocation;
#Override
#Transactional
public Map getResponse(MultipartFile multipartFile) throws IOException {
System.out.println("Documents location is :"+supportingDocumentsLocation);
HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
Long size = multipartFile.getSize();
String originalFileName=multipartFile.getOriginalFilename();
String contentType = multipartFile.getContentType();
InputStream inputStream = multipartFile.getInputStream();
byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(inputStream);
if(size>(5*1024*1024))
{
map.put("fileoriginalsize", size);
map.put("msg", "failed");
map.put("reason", "File size cannot be greater than 5MB");
return map;
}
String newFileName=generateFileName();
// Create the file on server
File serverFile = new File("D:"+File.separator+"Uploads"+ File.separator + newFileName);
BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(serverFile));
outputStream.write(bytes);
outputStream.close();
map.put("fileoriginalsize", size);
map.put("contenttype", contentType);
map.put("base64", new String(Base64Utils.encode(bytes)));
map.put("name", newFileName);
return map;
}
}
My app.properties file :
supporting.documents.location = D:\uploads
However when I start the application I get the error:
Could not resolve placeholder 'supporting.documents.location' in string value "${supporting.documents.location}"
Please suggest why I am getting the error.Thanks.

Answer 1

You define the locations property, but then you overwrite it with the location property. So nothing in app.properties is loaded:
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>/WEB-INF/database.properties</value>
<value>/WEB-INF/app.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="location" value="/WEB-INF/database.properties" />
