Using spring3 @Value to access PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer values ?

Question

I'm trying to set the value of a string in a spring bean using @Value, when my property source is a subclass of PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer. Anyone know how to do this ?

Answer 1

Have you managed to get it to work by explicitly injecting the value from the bean definition file using the property syntax? In theory, if that works, then you should be able to use the same expression in @Value. For that matter, you should be able to do it using @Autowired @Qualifier also
