org.springframework.beans.factory.config
Class PropertyResourceConfigurer

Direct Known Subclasses:

PropertyOverrideConfigurer, PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

public abstract class PropertyResourceConfigurer

implements BeanFactoryPostProcessor, Ordered

Allows for configuration of individual bean property values from a property resource, i.e. a properties file. Useful for custom config files targetted at system administrators that override bean properties configured in the application context.

2 concrete implementations are provided in the distribution:

• PropertyOverrideConfigurer for "beanName.property=value" style overriding (pushing values from a properties file into bean definitions)
• PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer for replacing "${...}" placeholders (pulling values from a properties file into bean definitions)
