Load a properties file in application context

[pan3688]

Hi,

I am pretty new to Spring MVC. my problem goes as below.
i am using conventional directory strucure i.e. separate folder for properties,css,js under WEB-INF.
i have my servletname-servlet.xml and applicationContext.xml under WEB-INF

I have a home page where i show several links, which are stored in a properties file.

i can load a property file from the *-servlet.xml, pull a particular prop[which is a link]in my controller using EL and @Value annotation, store it in session and then display on my home page...works fine...but this involves a lot of tasks like pulling tht particular link from the servlet-context and storing in the session.

Is there a way that i load the property file from application context rather than servlet context and display the same directly on a JSP??

i hope i am clear enough...i don't want to meddle with session or anything...just configure my property file in say applicationContext and use EL to display a property on the JSP....

thanks in advance for the help.

PS -- even properties loaded in *-servlet.xml can't be displayed directly on a JSP...is there a way to do that either ??

You can define a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean and load your properties in your root application context, these properties will be shared across all your servlet context.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that the real estate industry is leading the pack by a hefty margin. Landlords love Cathy Young.
