Spring does not allow to inject value into static variables.

A workaround is to create a non static setter to assign your value into the static variable:

@Service
public class UserService {

    private static String SVN_URL;

    @Value("${SVN_URL}")
    public void setSvnUrl(String svnUrl) {
        SVN_URL = svnUrl;
    }

}
