Reading @Path from properties file

Question

The rest application in build using spring and jersy. I need a rest application that can read the value of @path annotation from the properties file.
PFB the code sample:-

@Controller
@Path("report")
public  class CommonService extends BaseService
{

    @Path("specificGet")
    @GET
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response getReport ()
    {
    -----------
    -----------
     }

I want the value that is now "specificGet" to be readable from a .properties file. For example if i have the below entry in properties file:-

path.getwithoutparam=thispathforGet

I want to refer to this property for @path annotation Please comments/suggestions will be very helpful.

Answer 1

I might get some downvotes :)) but I'm pretty sure there is no out-of-the-box support for property placeholders for @Path annotations.

I guess you would have to build your own annotation processor in this case, that plugs into Spring property handling system.
