    <context:annotation-config />

    <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:com/epro/aemcrmsync/properties/config.properties" />

</beans>

Class :

package com.epro.aemcrmsync.constants;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;


@Component
public class ConfigConstants {


     @Value("$(field_name}")
    public static String USER_ID;

}

Answer 1

Spring does not process static members. Make the field an instance field. Inject the ConfigConstants bean anywhere you need to use it.
