Loading properties in applicationContext.xml

[lduperval]

Hi,

Is there a way to specify a propery file to use à la ant? I looked and I don't see anything. I'd like to be able to specify certain information (like JDBC driver, database user/password, etc.) in a properties file instead of the XML file.

Can I?

Thanks,

L

One way is to use the BeanFactoryPostprocessors
see: http://www.springframework.org/docs/...postprocessors

Also see the PropertiesFactoryBean: http://www.springframework.org/docs/...ctoryBean.html

Also have a look at the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer:
