@Value not resolved when using @PropertySource annotation. How to configure PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer?

Question

I have following configuration class:

@Configuration
@PropertySource(name = \"props\", value = \"classpath:/app-config.properties\")
@ComponentScan(\"service         


        

Answer 1

Don't you need a method on your @Configuration class that returns PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer, annotated @Bean and is static, to register any @PropertySource with Spring?
