property-variable and default value

[llaurick]

Hi,
I have a property that I want to define using a variable, something like this:

<bean id="someId" class="package.SomeClass" >
<property name="someProperty" value="${user.myProperty}" />
</bean>

What I would like to do is that if user.Property does exist, then it is used but if it does not, then some default value is used instead. I cannot just set some default value in the class as it is a class coming from some outside package, not my own.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Llaurick

You can use the PropertyOverrideConfigurer as described here: http://static.springframework.org/sp...rideconfigurer
