reading property file name from other property file

[umeshs79]

Can we read the name of the property file from other property file

Something like as below:
<!--This loads environment.properties properties -->

    <bean id="propertyConfigurerBase" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="locations">
        	<list>
    	    	<value>/WEB-INF/resources/environment.properties</value>
        	</list>
        </property>
    </bean>

<!--here I need the name of property file from the above property file-->

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer" name="propertyConfigurerAlias">
        <property name="locations">
        	<list>
	        	<value>/WEB-INF/resources/$&#123;propertyfileName&#125;</value>        	
        	</list>
        </property>
 </bean>

Please help me.

Thanks

Trying setting the 'order' property of each bean so that the PPC that loads the file name is executed first.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for quick response.

Actually I set the order but still I am facing the same problem.

Here is the details what I did:

Base applicationcontext.xml, which loads environment.properties

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http&#58;//www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<!--
  - Root application context for the SpringAppDemo application.
  -->
<beans>
    <bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    	<property name="order" value="1"></property>
        <property name="location" value="/WEB-INF/resources/environment.properties"/>
    </bean>
</beans>

applicationcontext-services.xml, which which loads other property file, but it needs the name of propery file from propertyplaceholder

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http&#58;//www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<!--
  - application context for the SpringAppDemo application.
  -->
<beans>
    <bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer" name="propertyConfigurerAlias">
       	<property name="order" value="2"></property>
        <property name="locations">
        	<list>
	        	<value>/WEB-INF/resources/$&#123;environment&#125;.runtime.properties</value>        	
        	</list>
        </property>
    </bean>
	<bean id="SendAmoMockService" class="com.pocketthis.orangeukdq.springcontroller.SendAmoMockService">	
		<property name="debug" value="$&#123;Debug&#125;"/>
	</bean>
</beans>

Now I am configuring them in web.xml as below

				<context-param>
					<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
					<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml /WEB-INF/applicationContext-service.xml</param-value>
				</context-param>

Now when I start application the log is as below.

10:12:22,625 INFO [[/amogateway2]] Loading Spring root WebApplicationContext

It seems earlier properties get overloaded.

Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong and what is the right way to do this.

Thanks
