I am defining a freemarker bean in my applicationContext.xml and this bean needs a path to my template-directory.
It used to be:
src/main/webapp/template/
But i now want to store my templates under:
src/main/resources/template/
It used to look like:
<bean id="freemarkerConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
<property name="templateLoaderPath" value="/template/email/"/>
</bean>
Can anyone please help me to correctly define the new path?
Answering as a proper answer, so you can close the question.
You should use "classpath:" prefix to reference resources located in the classpath.
<bean id="freemarkerConfig" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
<property name="templateLoaderPath" value="classpath:/template/email/"/>
</bean>

I have the project structure as following -
Facade -> Service-> DAO
In the DAO layer, when the beans are initialized then many dependencies are injected from a property file. Therefore, the properties file must be read first and then the remaining dao beans must be created. When the application is started then it gives an error that Spring cannot resolve a placeholder.
The DAO-application-context.xml is like-
<bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="prop">
<value>app.properties</value>
</property>
</bean>
<import resource = "a-dao.xml" />
<import resource = "b-dao.xml" />
<import resource = "c-dao.xml" />
Now in all the child application contexts i.e. a-dao, etc, we have-
<bean ....>
<property name = "xyz">
<value>${appValue}<value/>
</property>
<bean>
The error received is that appValue cannot be resolved. I think that it may be due to incorrect sequence of bean creation. However, the same config is working in another larger project.
I have checked Order of Spring Bean Initialization but implementing that solution would not be feasible. Is there any other way ?
Reg this Block of Configuration, property prop seems to be wrong
<bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="prop">
<value>app.properties</value>
</property>
</bean>
According to the Spring documentation
You could use the property location or locations to set the one or multiple values of the properties file.
So the code should be refactored to
<bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location">
<value>app.properties</value>
</property>
</bean>
I have got 2 properties file with me. I have mentioned both the files in the context:property-placeholder like this...
<context:property-placeholder location="conf/ConfServer.conf,conf/LicenseSettings.properties" />
Also I have tried this
<context:property-placeholder location="conf/ConfServer.conf,conf/LicenseSettings.properties" />
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>conf/LicenseSettings.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true"/>
</bean>
Both the above mentioned methods I have tried are not working.
Can anyone spot out the mistake and help me out of this?
I already referred to this, but it didn't work good for me.
You can specify multiple context:property-placeholder tags within your configuration file. You can also specify which will be loaded first using the order attribute.
<context:property-placeholder location="conf/ConfServer.conf" order="1" ignore-unresolvable="true" />
<context:property-placeholder location="conf/LicenseSettings.properties" order="2" ignore-unresolvable="true" />
Can you try referring these properties from project root directory
conf/ConfServer.conf
conf/LicenseSettings.properties
These may not be referred correctly.
I'm new to spring and its bean injection framework and I need advice on understanding how to utilize them. Currently I have the following,
<beans>
<bean id="citationService" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="serviceUrl" value="http://localhost:8080/PPDFWeb/hello.htm"/>
<property name="serviceInterface" value="test_client.HelloService"/>
<property name="httpInvokerRequestExecutor">
<bean class="org.springframework.security.remoting.httpinvoker.AuthenticationSimpleHttpInvokerRequestExecutor">
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
Now i need the domain name of the service url to be dynamic so I can set it somewhere programmatically in my code. Is there some way to leave the bean intact in the xml and change the serviceUrl of the bean?
Just mark it like:
<property name="serviceUrl" value="{serviceURL}"/>
Edit:
There are just too many solutions available on SO, I didn't do a good search earlier:

I am following the following article.
http://www.mkyong.com/spring/spring-quartz-scheduler-example/
Everything works fine.
<bean id="simpleTrigger"
class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SimpleTriggerBean">
<property name="jobDetail" ref="runMeJob" />
<property name="repeatInterval" value="5000" />
<property name="startDelay" value="1000" />
</bean>
I created a property file app.properties which has
repeatInterval = 5000
startDelay = 1000
I want to load these data into bean properties. Right now I have to hard code the values into the xml file.
I want to be able to load the data from property file into the bean properties. Is it possible?
EDIT:
I have
<property name="repeatInterval" value="5000" />
What I am looking for is a way to make it
<property name="repeatInterval" value= "get 5000 from property file" />
To find a file myPropertyFileName.properties that is on your classpath and load it into your spring config, create the following bean:
<bean id="myPropertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" value="classpath:myPropertyFileName.properties"/>
<property name="placeholderPrefix" value="${props:"/>
</bean>
Then use a property name defined like
repeatInterval=5000
like this:
<property name="repeatInterval" value="${props:repeatInterval}"/>
Use Spring propertyPlaceholderConfigurer to achieve this. Follow this guide.
I have run into something similar in the past. I needed to load a bunch of beans using Spring but I wanted them to be user editable bean files. So I didn't want to include them in the jar packaging. What I did was create my user-defined bean files outside the jar but in a know relative location. My packaged bean definition file referenced the beans defined in the user-defined bean file and when I loaded the application context I provided both files (user-defined & packaged).
Bit unorthodox but it worked.
I need to load some properties into a Spring context from a location that I don't know until the program runs.
So I thought that if I had a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer with no locations it would read in my.location from the system properties and then I could use that location in a context:property-placeholder
Like this
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"/>
<context:property-placeholder location="${my.location}"/>
but this doesn't work and nor does location="classpath:${my.location}"

You can do this with a slightly different approach. Here is how we configure it. I load default properties and then overrided them with properties from a configurable location. This works very well for me.
<bean id="propertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:site/properties/default/placeholder.properties
</value>
<value>classpath:site/properties/${env.name}/placeholder.properties
</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
The problem here is that you're trying to configure a property place holder using property placeholder syntax :) It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation - spring can't resolve your ${my.location} placeholder until it's configured the property-placeholder.
This isn't satisfactory, but you could bodge it by using more explicit syntax:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer">
<property name="location">
<bean class="java.lang.System" factory-method="getenv">
<constructor-arg value="my.location"/>
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
