Spring properties (property-placeholder) autowiring

Question

I have in my applicationContext.xml

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath*:*.properties" />


<bean id="clientPreferencesManager" class="pl.bildpresse.bildchat2.business.ClientPreferencesManager" >
    <property name="clientApiUrl" value="${clientapi.url}" />     
</bean>

Is it possible to do the same by autowire ? Something like :

@Autowired
@Qualifier("${clientapi.url}")
public void setClientApiUrl(String clientApiUrl) {
    this.clientApiUrl = clientApiUrl;
}

Answer 1

You can use @Value:

@Value("${clientapi.url}") 
public void setClientApiUrl(String clientApiUrl) { 
    this.clientApiUrl = clientApiUrl; 
}
