Does spring support placeholder in <import>

[machouicha]

Hi

I am wondering if I can do
<import resource="${spring-file}"/>

I tried but it seem that spring does not do the replacement

Same trouble here! Any directions?

Mistery solved! DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.importBeanDefi nitionResource(from code that read xml into bean definitions) uses SystemPropertyUtils.resolvePlaceHolders instead of PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer. I think PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer was not designed to replace placeholders in import elements. Anyway, you can set the placeholder value in a -D java argument or in a environment variable, and voila!

Should I file a JIRA enhancement?

Another way you can do this is use ant to replace the placeholder during build time. Its good to know that you can also do it through the commandline. I would think this would be nice enhancement to have.

My environment does not depends upon ant, so for me it isn't an option...
