Spring .properties file: get element as an Array

Question

I\'m loading properties attributes from a .properties file using Spring as follows:

file: elements.properties
base.module.elementToSearch=1
base         


        

Answer 1

If you define your array in properties file like:

base.module.elementToSearch=1,2,3,4,5,6

You can load such array in your Java class like this:

  @Value("${base.module.elementToSearch}")
  private String[] elementToSearch;
