Spring Util:Properties Injection via Annotations into a bean

Question

If I have 2 .properties files setup in my Spring XML as so:

Answer 1

@Autowired
@Qualifier("serverProperties")
private Properties serverProperties;
@Autowired
@Qualifier("someConfig")
private Properties otherProperties;

or

@Resource(name = "serverProperties")
private Properties serverProperties;
@Resource(name = "someConfig")
private Properties otherProperties;

Typically, @Autowired is used for by-type autowiring in Spring, and @Resource is used for by-name. @Autowired+@Qualifier can double as by-name autowiring, but it's really meant for by-type autowiring with the ability to fine-tune the type.
