How to set a list value element from a property placeholder?

[Ronny]

Spring version: 2.5.6.A

I have a setter/getter that is a list of strings and I want to set the value element from a property placeholder.

Java:

public class MyClass
{
	private List<String> myList;
	public void setMyList(List<String> myList) {
		this.myList = myList;
	}

	public List<String> getMyList() {
		return myList;
	}
}

Bean config:

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
		<property name="location">
			<value>classpath:my-properties.txt</value>
		</property>
</bean>		

<bean id="myClass" class="com.myCompany.MyClass">
	<property name="myList">
		<list>
			<value>${my.property}</value>
		</list>
	</property>
</bean>

Property file:

my.property=foo

The problem is that ${my.property} is not resolved as "foo".
The class receives the literal value "${my.property}".

Nevermind...

Strange. After waiting a while it works like it should.
