How to add another Property connfiguration

[geek.shrek]

Hi,

I'm creating a spring project which have dependency with another project.
There's already a PreferencesPlaceholderConfigurer in the dependency project application context.

Is it possible to add a properties file without a need to alter the dependency project?


Here is my application context look like
ProjectA is my dependency and Project B is the one I'm currently creating.

ProjectA application context
...

<bean id="projectAconfig" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PreferencesPlaceholderConfigurer">
   <property name="locations">
        <list>
            <value>file:C/ProjectA/config/config.properties</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

config.properties

db.username=s

ProjectB application context (where I would like to add another property file

<import resource="file:C:/projectA/application-context.xml"/>

<bean id="projectBconfig" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PreferencesPlaceholderConfigurer">
   <property name="locations">
        <list>
            <value>file:C/ProjectB/config/configB.properties</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

configB.properties

myFont=Arial

I have tried this way, but it throws an error said it cannot resolve placeholder.

Can anyone show me how this can be done.

Thanks.
