How to read a spring property value straight into an xml file

Question

I have an xml file that contains values that define a java object, the values are processed via a java method to handle some specific tasks, the xml file has the below architecture :

<javaObject>
    <attr1>value1</attr1>
    <attr2>${property.name}</attr2>
    <attr3>value3</attr3>
</javaObject>

My goal is to get the attr2 from the property file, I've tried ${property.name} but it's not working, I've also tried <property name="property.name" value="${property.name} />

At runtime, I get a NULL when I call the value of attr2

What is the best way to implement that ?

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly, you unmarshal the object and want to work with the value of proeprty.name? You can inject the value of property.name in your class via

@Value("${property.name}")
String propertyName
