I already know how to:

Load properties files into my Spring configuration using:

<context:property-placeholder location="aaa/bbb/ccc/stuff.properties"/>

Build properties objects on the fly using:

<props><prop key="abc">some value</prop></props>

But what I cant do, and would be really useful, is to have Spring load a properties file and then build the matching properties object. I could then inject this into a bean in the normal way.

I've searched for this elsewhere without success. Any ideas?

Please see the Spring Reference Manual's Appendix and see if this helps.

As @MetroidFan2002 implies, take a look at util:properties

<util:properties id="myProperties" location="classpath:com/foo/my.properties"/>
