Property class instance empty?

[JanPrazma]

Hello all!

I am using SAS 1.1. with Flex 4 (Hero SDK) and I am trying to make this piece of code work:

[Component(id="resources"]
	public class Resources
	{
		[Property(value="${IconsUrl}")]
		public var url_icons:String;
		
		[Autowired]
		public var iblort:Iblort;
         ....
        }

All the time, I get the same error (well, the error is slightly different for the [Autowired(externalProperty="IconsUrl")] tag, but I believe the cause is the same) - Cannot resolve Placeholder "${IconsUrl}".

I am starting to get nuts, because:

a) The component scanner should work OK. The class iblort is autowired correctly

b) The property ${IconsUrl} gets loaded correctly and works inside appContext.xml file !

c) I downloaded the spring sources. I found, that the Properties object indeed gets filled with correct property data (lenght == 13). Bud somehow, when the class gets scanned, then the _applicationContext.property variable contains totally different Properties object (lenght == 0, id of the object is DIFFERENT than the one that gets created from the properties file).

override public function scan(className:String):void {
			_resolver = new PropertyPlaceholderResolver();
			_resolver.properties = _applicationContext.properties;

"_applicationContext.properties" contains 0 properties (is not null, but empty).

Am I doing something wrong? At which point is the Properties instance (that gets created from the external props file) assignet to _applicationContext.properties (AbstractObjectFactory.properties) ?

Thanks for any response!
