Spring-Boot: How do I reference application.properties in an @ImportResource

Question

I have an applicationContext.xml file in my Spring Boot application. In this file, it has a property placeholder - ${profile.services.url} - that\'s used to configure the \"

I've got the following code:

package demo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;

import java.util.Collection;

@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ApplicationContext applicationContext = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
        Collection shouldBeConfigured = applicationContext.getBeansOfType(Foo.class).values();
        System.out.println(shouldBeConfigured.toString());
    }
}

@Configuration
@ImportResource("/another.xml")
class XmlImportingConfiguration {
}

class Foo {
    private String name;

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Foo{" +
                "name='" + name + '\'' +
                '}';
    }

}

I have a Spring XML configuration file, another.xml:

I have the following pom.xml:

    4.0.0

    org.demo
    demo
    0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

    demo
    Demo project

    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-parent
        1.0.0.RC1
    

    

        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-web
        

        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-test
            test
        
    

    
        demo.Application
        1.7
    

    
        
            
                org.springframework.boot
                spring-boot-maven-plugin
            
        
    

    
        
            spring-snapshots
            Spring Snapshots
            http://repo.spring.io/snapshot
            
                true
            
        
        
            spring-milestones
            Spring Milestones
            http://repo.spring.io/milestone
            
                false
            
        
    
    
        
            spring-snapshots
            Spring Snapshots
            http://repo.spring.io/snapshot
            
                true
            
        
        
            spring-milestones
            Spring Milestones
            http://repo.spring.io/milestone
            
                false
            
        
    

Finally, I have two .properties files, another.properties, and application.properties:

# application.properties 
some.property=Test

and..

# another.properties 
name.property=Another

When I run this, the output is:

[Foo{name='Another'}, Foo{name='Test'}]

Which would seem to work.

I'm not quite sure I am understanding the error. Can you elaborate, or confirm this seems satisfactory behavior for you, too please?
