Spring Environment backed by Typesafe Config

Question

I want to use typesafe config (HOCON config files) in my project, which facilitate easy and organized application configuration. Currently I am using normal Java properties

Laplie Anderson answer with some small improvements:

• throw exception if resource not found
• ignore path that contains [ and : characters

TypesafePropertySourceFactory.java

import java.io.IOException;

import org.springframework.core.env.PropertySource;
import org.springframework.core.io.support.EncodedResource;
import org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertySourceFactory;

import com.typesafe.config.Config;
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory;
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigParseOptions;
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigResolveOptions;

public class TypesafePropertySourceFactory implements PropertySourceFactory {

  @Override
  public PropertySource createPropertySource(String name, EncodedResource resource)
      throws IOException {
    Config config = ConfigFactory
        .load(resource.getResource().getFilename(),
            ConfigParseOptions.defaults().setAllowMissing(false),
            ConfigResolveOptions.noSystem()).resolve();

    String safeName = name == null ? "typeSafe" : name;
    return new TypesafeConfigPropertySource(safeName, config);
  }
}

TypesafeConfigPropertySource.java

import org.springframework.core.env.PropertySource;

import com.typesafe.config.Config;

public class TypesafeConfigPropertySource extends PropertySource {
  public TypesafeConfigPropertySource(String name, Config source) {
    super(name, source);
  }

  @Override
  public Object getProperty(String path) {
    if (path.contains("["))
      return null;
    if (path.contains(":"))
      return null;
    if (source.hasPath(path)) {
      return source.getAnyRef(path);
    }
    return null;
  }
}
