Class PropertyOverrideConfigurer

    public class PropertyOverrideConfigurer

extends PropertyResourceConfigurer

A property resource configurer that overrides bean property values in an application context definition. It pushes values from a properties file into bean definitions.

Configuration lines are expected to be of the following form:

    beanName.property=value

Example properties file:

    dataSource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
     dataSource.url=jdbc:mysql:mydb

In contrast to PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer, the original definition can have default values or no values at all for such bean properties. If an overriding properties file does not have an entry for a certain bean property, the default context definition is used.

Note that the context definition is not aware of being overridden; so this is not immediately obvious when looking at the XML definition file.

In case of multiple PropertyOverrideConfigurers that define different values for the same bean property, the last one will win (due to the overriding mechanism).

Property values can be converted after reading them in, through overriding the `convertPropertyValue` method. For example, encrypted values can be detected and decrypted accordingly before processing them.

### DEFAULT_BEAN_NAME_SEPARATOR

  Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### PropertyOverrideConfigurer

    public PropertyOverrideConfigurer()

Method Detail

### setBeanNameSeparator

    public void setBeanNameSeparator(String beanNameSeparator)

  Set the separator to expect between bean name and property path. Default is a dot (".").

### setIgnoreInvalidKeys

    public void setIgnoreInvalidKeys(boolean ignoreInvalidKeys)

  Set whether to ignore invalid keys. Default is "false".

  If you ignore invalid keys, keys that do not follow the 'beanName.property' format will just be logged as warning. This allows to have arbitrary other keys in a properties file.

### processProperties

    protected void processProperties(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory,
                                     Properties props)
                              throws BeansException

  Description copied from class: `PropertyResourceConfigurer`
  Apply the given Properties to the given BeanFactory.

  Specified by:
    `processProperties` in class `PropertyResourceConfigurer`
  Parameters:
    `beanFactory` - the BeanFactory used by the application context
    `props` - the Properties to apply
  Throws:
    `BeansException` - in case of errors

### processKey

    protected void processKey(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory factory,
                              String key,
                              String value)
                       throws BeansException

  Process the given key as 'beanName.property' entry.

  Throws:
    `BeansException`

### applyPropertyValue

    protected void applyPropertyValue(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory factory,
                                      String beanName,
                                      String property,
                                      String value)

  Apply the given property value to the corresponding bean.

### hasPropertyOverridesFor

    public boolean hasPropertyOverridesFor(String beanName)

  Were there overrides for this bean? Only valid after processing has occurred at least once.

  Parameters:
    `beanName` - name of the bean to query status for
  Returns:
    whether there were property overrides for the named bean
