Spring @Value — Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'int' [on hold]

Question

In application.yml I have some properties. This is the offending one: waitOnServerDown: 10000

In one of my classes I am trying to grab that value with:

@Value("${config.waitOnServerDown") int waitOnServerDown

At runtime I get the error:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'int'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "${config.waitOnServerDown"

This is probably an easy fix, but I'm new to Spring and haven't been able to find the answer with my google-fu.

I did find out how to make it work for objects like Integers:

@Value("#{new Integer('${config.maxPollRecords}')}") Integer maxPollRecords

But in this cause I need waitOnServerDown to be an int.

I was missing a } . I Feel like a fool :( Long day. Thanks for the help.
