I had the very same problem. @PropertySource is not playing well with @Value. A quick workaround is to have an XML configuration which you'll refer to it from your Spring Java Configuration using @ImportResource as usual and that XML configuration file will include a single entry: (of course with the needed namespace ceremony). Without any other change @Value will inject properties in your @Configuration pojo.
