Class PropertyResourceConfigurer

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderSupport

org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyResourceConfigurer

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanFactoryPostProcessor, org.springframework.core.Ordered, org.springframework.core.PriorityOrdered

Direct Known Subclasses:

PlaceholderConfigurerSupport, PropertyOverrideConfigurer

public abstract class PropertyResourceConfigurer
extends org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderSupport
implements BeanFactoryPostProcessor, org.springframework.core.PriorityOrdered

Allows for configuration of individual bean property values from a property resource, i.e. a properties file. Useful for custom config files targeted at system administrators that override bean properties configured in the application context.

Two concrete implementations are provided in the distribution:

• PropertyOverrideConfigurer for "beanName.property=value" style overriding (pushing values from a properties file into bean definitions)
• PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer for replacing "${...}" placeholders (pulling values from a properties file into bean definitions)

Property values can be converted after reading them in, through overriding the convertPropertyValue(java.lang.String) method. For example, encrypted values can be detected and decrypted accordingly before processing them.

Method Detail

setOrder

public void setOrder(int order)

Set the order value of this object for sorting purposes.

See Also:

PriorityOrdered

getOrder

public int getOrder()

Specified by:

getOrder in interface org.springframework.core.Ordered

postProcessBeanFactory

public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory)
                            throws BeansException

Merge, convert and process properties against the given bean factory.

Specified by:

postProcessBeanFactory in interface BeanFactoryPostProcessor

Parameters:

beanFactory - the bean factory used by the application context

Throws:

BeanInitializationException - if any properties cannot be loaded

BeansException - in case of errors

convertProperties

protected void convertProperties(Properties props)

Convert the given merged properties, converting property values if necessary. The result will then be processed.

The default implementation will invoke convertPropertyValue(java.lang.String) for each property value, replacing the original with the converted value.

Parameters:

props - the Properties to convert

See Also:

processProperties(org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory, java.util.Properties)

convertProperty

protected String convertProperty(String propertyName,
                                 String propertyValue)

Convert the given property from the properties source to the value which should be applied.

The default implementation calls convertPropertyValue(String).

Parameters:

propertyName - the name of the property that the value is defined for

propertyValue - the original value from the properties source

Returns:

the converted value, to be used for processing

See Also:

convertPropertyValue(String)

convertPropertyValue

protected String convertPropertyValue(String originalValue)

Convert the given property value from the properties source to the value which should be applied.

The default implementation simply returns the original value. Can be overridden in subclasses, for example to detect encrypted values and decrypt them accordingly.

Parameters:

originalValue - the original value from the properties source (properties file or local "properties")

Returns:

the converted value, to be used for processing

PropertiesLoaderSupport.setProperties(java.util.Properties), PropertiesLoaderSupport.setLocations(org.springframework.core.io.Resource...), PropertiesLoaderSupport.setLocation(org.springframework.core.io.Resource), convertProperty(String, String)

processProperties

protected abstract void processProperties(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory,
                                          Properties props)
                                   throws BeansException

Apply the given Properties to the given BeanFactory.

Parameters:

beanFactory - the BeanFactory used by the application context

props - the Properties to apply

Throws:

BeansException - in case of errors
