Spring Value is not resolving to value from property file

Question

I ve had this working in some other project before  I am just re-doing the same thing but for some reason it s not working  The Spring  Value is not reading from property file  but instead it s taking the value literally  AppConfig java   Component public class AppConfig        Value    key value1        private String value       public String getValue                 return value            applicationContext xml    lt context component-scan     base-package  com test config    gt   lt context annotation-config   gt    lt bean id  appConfigProperties      class  org springframework beans factory config PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer  gt       lt property name  location  value  classpath appconfig properties    gt   lt  bean gt    appconfig properties  key value1 test value 1   In my controller  where I have    Autowired private AppConfig appConfig    The application starts just fine  but when I do  appConfig getValue     it returns     key value1    It doesn t resolve to the value inside the properties file   Thoughts

In my case I was missing the curly braces  I had  Value  foo bar   String value instead of the correct form  Value    foo bar    String value

I was using spring boot  and for me upgrading the version from 1 4 0 RELEASE to 1 5 6 RELEASE solved this issue

for Sprig-boot User both PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer and the new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer added in Spring 3 1  so it s straightforward to access properties file  just inject   Note  Make sure  your property must not be  Static   Value    key value1    private String value

I also found the reason  value was not working is   value requires PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer instead of a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer  i did the same changes and it worked for me  i am using spring 4 0 3 release  I configured this using below code in my configuration file -    Bean  public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer     return new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer

Please note that if you have multiple application properties files throughout your codebase  then try adding your value to the parent project s property file   You can check your project s pom xml file to identify what the parent project of your current project is   Alternatively  try using environment getProperty   instead of  Value

Problem is due to problem in my applicationContext xml vs spring-servlet xml - it was scoping issue between the beans   pedjaradenkovic kindly pointed me to an existing resource  Spring  Value annotation in  Controller class not evaluating to value inside properties file and Spring 3 0 5 doesn  39 t evaluate  Value annotation from properties

User · Answer

Have a read of pedjaradenkovic s comment   Further to the link he provides  the reason this isn t working is that  Value processing requires a PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer instead of a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer
