org.springframework.beans.factory.config
Class PropertyResourceConfigurer

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.core.io.support.PropertiesLoaderSupport
      org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyResourceConfigurer

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanFactoryPostProcessor, Ordered

Direct Known Subclasses:

PropertyOverrideConfigurer, PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

public abstract class PropertyResourceConfigurer
extends PropertiesLoaderSupport
implements BeanFactoryPostProcessor, Ordered

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

2 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 method. For example, encrypted values can be detected and decrypted accordingly before processing them.

PropertyResourceConfigurer

public PropertyResourceConfigurer()

Method Detail

setOrder

public void setOrder(int order)

getOrder

public int getOrder()

Description copied from interface: Ordered

Return the order value of this object, higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting. Normally starting with 0 or 1, Integer.MAX_VALUE indicating greatest. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

Higher value can be interpreted as lower priority, consequently the first object has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

Specified by:

getOrder in interface Ordered

Returns:

the order value

postProcessBeanFactory

public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory)
                            throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: BeanFactoryPostProcessor

Modify the application context's internal bean factory after its standard initialization. All bean definitions will have been loaded, but no beans will have been instantiated yet. This allows for overriding or adding properties even to eager-initializing beans.

Specified by:

postProcessBeanFactory in interface BeanFactoryPostProcessor

Parameters:

beanFactory - the bean factory used by the application context

Throws:

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.

Default implementation will invoke convertPropertyValue for each property value, replacing the original with the converted value.

See Also:

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

convertPropertyValue

protected String convertPropertyValue(String originalValue)

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

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

processProperties

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

Apply the given Properties to the bean factory.

Parameters:

beanFactory - the bean factory used by the application context

props - the Properties to apply

Throws:

BeansException - in case of errors
