PropertyPlaceholderConfiguer w servlet application ctx xml

[garpinc2]

I have a PropertyPlaceholderConfiguer configured in applicationContext.xml and then in a servlet application ctx xml I have a placeholder. It doesn't seem to replace placeholders in servlet context xml it only replaces in applicationContext.xml. Anyone has any ideas?

ApplicationContext has no visibility on your servlet, it is the "parent" of the servletContext.

Why not use PPC in servletContext?

I can't see why post processors shouldnt be inherited from parent.
