Class SpringProperties

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.core.SpringProperties
public final class SpringProperties extends Object
Static holder for local Spring properties, i.e. defined at the Spring library level.

Reads a spring.properties file from the root of the classpath and also allows for programmatically setting properties via setProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String). When retrieving properties, local entries are checked first, with JVM-level system properties checked next as a fallback via System.getProperty(java.lang.String).

This is an alternative way to set Spring-related system properties such as spring.getenv.ignore and spring.beaninfo.ignore, in particular for scenarios where JVM system properties are locked on the target platform (for example, WebSphere). See setFlag(java.lang.String) for a convenient way to locally set such flags to "true".
