Could not resolve placeholder in string value

Question

I am trying to use properties from a .properties file, but it doesn\'t seem to work.

Here is my code:

@Service(\"ServiceFTP\")
@Transact         


        

Answer 1

In your configuration you have 2 PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer instances.

applicationContext.xml

infraContext.xml

By default a PlaceholderConfigurer is going to fail-fast, so if a placeholder cannot be resolved it will throw an exception. The instance from the applicationContext.xml file has no properties and as such will fail on all placeholders.

Solution: Remove the one from applicationContext.xml as it doesn't add anything it only breaks things.
