I'm trying to set up some conditional configuration in my context. Essentially, I want my H2 database server to only be intialized when specifically told to do so.

I have the following bean:

Code:
	<bean id="localSharesDbcpDataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
		destroy-method="close" lazy-init="true" depends-on="#{systemProperties['h2Server.enabled']?'h2Server':null}">
		<property name="driverClassName" value="${local.jdbc.driverClassName}" />
		<property name="url" value="${local.jdbc.url}" />
		<property name="username" value="${local.jdbc.username}" />
		<property name="password" value="${local.jdbc.password}" />
	</bean>
The idea is that if the h2Server.enabled property is passed in, this bean should depend on my h2Server bean:

Code:
<bean id="h2Server" class="org.h2.tools.Server" factory-method="createTcpServer"
		init-method="start" destroy-method="stop" lazy-init="true">
		<constructor-arg
			value="-tcp,-tcpAllowOthers,true,-tcpPort,${local.jdbc.h2.port}" />
	</bean>
If h2Server.enabled is not set to true, the bean depends on nothing. Can you use the Spring Expression Language in the depends-on attribute? I'm currently getting:
