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

And incase you a different delimiter other than comma, you can use that as well.

@Value("#{'${my.config.values}'.split(',')}")
private String[] myValues;   // could also be a List

and

in your application properties you could have

my.config.values=value1, value2, value3
