JBoss 6.0.0 Final and org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

fabrizi_valentina Jan 17, 2011 10:24 AM

Hi all!

I need help with JBoss 6.0.0 Final and spring 2.5 PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.

On JBoss 4.2.2 I'm using this bean to load a spring's props from file....but the same doesn't work on JBoss 6.0.0 Final:

<!-- PROPERTIES BEAN FROM FILE -->
<bean id="goWebPropertiesFromFile" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
  <property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true"/>
  <property name="location" value="file:${GOWEB_HOME}/GOWeb.properties"/>
</bean>

GOWEB_HOME Config on JBoss:

<attribute name="Properties">
      GOWEB_HOME=D:/Development/GOWeb_2.0/GOWEB_HOME
</attribute>

I'm receiving this exception:

1. JBoss 6.0.0 Final and org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

Hi,

I found your other post in the spring forums, where the xml snippets are not broken ;-): http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?p=339919

JBoss 5.x changed the internal file system handling, now everything is build upon a virtual file system (vfs), and this explains why it worked in 4.2.

Why don't you place the properties file in your classpath (WEB-INF\classes) and load it like this:

<bean id="goWebPropertiesFromFile" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" value="classpath:GOWeb.properties"/>
</bean>

See:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/883858/what-is-the-best-practice-for-reading-property-files-in-j2ee

Hope this helps

Wolfgang
