I have multiple property files I need to refer to. Below I can refer to two that are on the classpath.
How do I refer to a property file with in a jar file ?
<bean id="placeholderConfig" name="placeholderConfig"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:config/my_test.properties</value>
<value>classpath:config/some_other.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
If the JAR is in the classpath, then you can reference the properties file inside just like any other resource. Just specify the location of the properties file within the JAR file.

Is it possible to create a data source by reading the values from an external file which is not bundled with WAR in spring application.
You can use the #PropertySource annotation to load your db properties and you can load the properties from file location like below:-
#PropertySource("file:${app.home}/db.properties")
reference link here:-
https://www.mkyong.com/spring/spring-propertysources-example/
For XML based configuration sample code could be like below:-
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>${app.home}/db.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
you can setup your datasource in any properties file, and then you have to provide the classpath for that file in your catalina.sh where you are running your war.
don't forget to load that property file in in your application.
I am loading property file in spring-context.xml and i am giving
external property file location in
${spring.profiles.active}.properties which is in classpath and using the location as a placholder in spring-context.xml. My spring-context.xml is:
<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true" />
<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true" />
<property name="searchSystemEnvironment" value="true" />
<property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
<property name="locations" ref="propertyConfigurerFiles" />
</bean>
<bean id="propertyConfigurerFiles" class="java.util.ArrayList">
<constructor-arg>
<list>
<value>/WEB-INF/properties/common.properties</value>
<!--In Developemnet Enviroenment it will be dev.properties-->
<value>/WEB-INF/properties/${spring.profiles.active}.properties</value>
<!--External Property File Location as a Placeholder-->
<value>${app.config.batch.location}</value>
</list>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
And my dev.properties is:
app.config.batch.location=E:/project/properties/config.properties
My problem is that is ${app.config.batch.location} placeholder is not
resolved in spring-context.xml and its trying to load file
${app.config.batch.location} in place of
E:/project/properties/config.properties.
I hope I explained the problem well. Please help!
Thanks in Advance!!!
You need to create bean of class PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer.
Not just some ArrayList bean. Why do you think you need this ArrayList bean?
It seems you are using spring profiles, instead of messing with initialization time property value binding what you can do is ...
1) read the property file(profile's)
/WEB-INF/properties/${spring.profiles.active}.properties
2) create a java class that can read these property values. (don't forget to use spring profiles interfacing class)
3) as you are trying to read a property file whose location is embedded in property file(step-1), object created at step-2 will give value for key <value>${app.config.batch.location}</value>
now you can load this property file using available file reader class.
4) create Properties object and access the values in it.
Note:: if any of your bean initialization depends on key-value read at step-4, do initialization manually or create your ***custom class(servlet) that get loaded before any other class (even spring's DispactherServlet).
Does the Spring PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer take a directory location and load all properties file, without me having to specify the file names explicitly.
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" value="<path to all properties files>" />
</bean>
Is there any other way to achieve this?
You can do something like this
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:file1.properties,classpath*:project-common.properties,classpath*:project-${spring.profiles.active}.properties"/>
In my case, it was a legacy system so property files didn't have some standard names but for sure you can use wildcards to reference your property files.
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:*.properties"/>
I am working with maven based spring mvc project.
I have configured PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean as follows with the following locations property value:
my root-context.xml:
<!-- beans config-->
<bean id="propertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:kiran.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
and my kiran.properties:
#properties file
excel.dirpath=root/Desktop/exceluploads/kiran/
and in my CMISUploadImpl.java:
public #Value("${excel.dirpath}")
String alfrescoSpaceStore;
//accessing key defined in properties file
Sytem.out.prinln(alfrescoSpaceStore);
o/p:${excel.dirpath}
I am getting the above o/p when accessing key value in my above said java file. I am unable to access the value of key that is defined in above said properties file. I am not getting what is wrong with my above code.
I want to pass the WSDL url for an internal web service into my Spring beans.xml dynamically, using a PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer.
Here's the scenario:
My web application is deployed in WebLogic 10.3.
The WSDL url is contained in a properties file that is located outside my application (directly under the corresponding domain folder, while my application is inside the autodeploy folder). I set the location of this properties file in my domain's setDomainEnv.cmd file like below:
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=%JAVA_PROPERTIES% %CLUSTER_PROPERTIES% -Dproperty.file.path.config=%DOMAIN_HOME%\Service.properties
This is what my Service.properties file contains:
Service.WSDL.PATH=http://localhost:8088/mockServiceSoap?WSDL
My Spring beans.xml configuration:----
<bean id="file.path" class="java.lang.System" factory-method="getProperty">
<constructor-arg index="0"><value>property.file.path.config</value></constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" ref="file.path"/>
</bean>
<bean id="myServiceId" class="com.test.service.ServiceImpl">
<property name="myServiceSoap">
<ref bean="myService"/>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="myService" class="org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.test.service.ServiceSoap"/>
<property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="${Service.WSDL.PATH}"/>
</bean>
I enabled DEBUG log specifically for PPC and this is what I saw in my application log:
INFO org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer 178 - Loading properties file from URL [file:D:/bea10.3/user_projects/domains/my_domain/Service.properties]
So, it seems that although the Service.properties file is getting loaded by PPC, the ${Service.WSDL.PATH} is NOT getting replaced.
What am I doing wrong here?
Also, how can I find out if PPC tried replacing the value of the placeholder and with what value? I was hoping the log file would contain that info but there was nothing there.
Any help is appreciated.
I've figured out, that PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer needs to be declared first in the application Context file, otherwise there's no guarantee of the load order. It took me a few hours to realize this.
Try moving the "file.path" bean into the PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer's location property.
