is that compulsory to put the propertyplaceholderconfigurer there, if I want to use the passed in properties file?

Define a properties file like this:

environment=development

development.jdbc.url=localhost….
production.jdbc.url=server.com
test.jdbc.url=otherserver

jdbc.url=${${enviroment}.jdbc.url}

and to use it in the xml: ${jdbc.url} and to change the enviroment, just change “enviroment” to test or production

Added the xml markers yourself

bean id=”propertyConfigurer”
class=”org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer”
property name=”location” value=”file:${catalina.home}\conf\config.properties”/
/bean

Looks like everybody is looking for this:
instead of catalina.home you can enter any variable which is loaded at startup. ( -D xxx)

There’s a way to use a a properties file on the file system with a relative path ?
something like : file:///./module/config.properties ?
thanks in advance

Is there a way using PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer to define Env dependetnt properties file, e.g Lets say we have three files 1) dev_db.properties 2) test_db.propertie 3) prod_db.properties.

Then we can set the property file in or application depending upon the env in which application is deployed.

I am getting the property name instead of value: Account Info: ${sample.accountNumber} Any ideas what I am missing? Where in the project does the prop file go? classpath:sample.properties thanks, brian
