Hey,

I am new to spring I would like to get the value in from a properties file in (for e.g. WEB-INF/env.properties) in a jsp page (I would like to display what environment it is) .

How can I do it?..a brief approach can help me..Thanks…

[…] In out-of-the-box Spring, there are two ways to do this with a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer: either put a list of default property bindings into the XML file itself, or put them into another Properties file, which may be contained as a resource in the jar file. Stefan Kleineikenscheidt has a good description of this approach. […]

Hi J., that’s exactly my point, the default properties are in the context definition, while an external file (editable by administrators and the like) can be used to override the default values.

Maybe more correct is to say that a properties place holder configurer uses a Properties to replace stuff. Does not have to come from a properties file.

For example, you can set the “properties” property to a PropertiesFactoryBean in the context.

Sebastian gave me a hint. Thanks for that!
(in fact, the sample was not as it is my actual project’s app context)

Subject: Re: Spring Configuration

the correct syntax for the element in spring reads

theValue

instead of

theValue

maybe this changed only in a newer version of spring and your syntax
still works with an older version…

anyways, could you kindly remove the two comments i have posted, they
are rather confusing (with the braces not being displayed)…

brgrds,

Hi Sebastian, i’m not sure which element you mean. If i search the Spring doco or mailinglist, there are no results for “valueAsString”. Can you explain?

the braces aren’t being displayed (of course)… what i meant was:

the syntax is


      valueAsString

instead of


      valueAsString

very helpful;
however, the correct syntax of the element is

valueAsString

instead of

valueAsString

or did this change in a newer version of spring? i’m using version 1.2.2;
