Spring @Value annotation always evaluating as null?

Question

So, I have a simple properties file with the following entries:

my.value=123
another.value=hello world

This properties file is being loaded

Answer 1

You can also make your properties private, make sure your class is a Spring bean using @Service or @Component annotations so it always gets instantiated and finally add setter methods annotated with @Value . This ensures your properties will be assigned the values specified in your application.properties or yml config files.

@Service
public class Config {
    private static String myProperty;

    private static String myOtherProperty;

    @Value("${my.value}")    
    public void setMyProperty(String myValue) {
    this.myProperty = myValue;}

    @Value("${other.value}")
    public void setMyOtherProperty(String otherValue) {
    this.myOtherProperty = otherValue;}

    //rest of your code...
}
