Question

I am trying to read data from properties file.I have specified the path in xml.When I run the app it throws an error –

*org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Invalid bean definition with name ‘fbStuffKeeper’ defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Could not resolve placeholder ‘facebook.appId’

My applicationContext.xml –

    <bean
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping" />
    <bean
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter" />
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.cognizant.awcoe.bazaar.social.spring.controllers" use-default-filters="false">
        <context:include-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller" type="annotation" />
    </context:component-scan>
    <bean
        class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
             <property name="location" value="classpath:/com/social/spring/config/facebook.properties"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="fbStuffKeeper" class="com.social.spring.facebook.FBStuffManager">
        <property name="secret" value="${facebook.appSecret}"/>
        <property name="clientId" value="${facebook.appId}"/>
        <property name="redirectURI" value="${redirect.uri}"/>
    </bean>
</beans>

facebook.properties contain-

facebook.appID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
facebook.appSecret=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
redirect.uri=http:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have I specified the path of the properties file correctly..Where did I go wrong??
Kindly correct me

Answer 1

Looks like a mistaken case of the last d: facebook.appId instead of facebook.appID
