Question

I am facing a strange issue with a spring project in netbeans.
I have a set of context xmls say –
jms/myjms-context.xml – which internally loads jms.properties using property-placeholder
similarly thrs a jdbc context xml –
jdbc/myjdbc-context.xml – which internally loads jdbc.properties using property-placeholder
And these contexts needs to be imported as resources in my app-context.xml.

now if i import just one of these the application loads but when i import both i get an error with the property reference – “Could not resolve placeholder…” – in the second imported context (be it jms-context or jdbc-context)!!

What is going wrong?

-I am using Spring 3.0 and Spring integration 2.1

If you have more than one PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer loaded into a spring context, as is your case, you need to set the ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders to true so that the first one that will load, will ignore any placeholders that it can’t resolve.

Hope this helps.
