spring propertyplaceholderconfigurer

Spring的框架中为您提供了一个 BeanFactoryPostProcessor 的实作类别： org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer。藉 由这个类别，您可以将一些组态设定，移出至.properties档案中，如此的安排可以让XML定义档负责系统相关设定，而.properties档可 以作为客户根据需求，自定义一些相关的参数。
来看一个Bean定义档的实际例子：
beans-config.xml

<?
xml
 
version
=
"1.0"
 
encoding
=
"UTF-8"
?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING/DTD BEAN/EN"
    "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<
beans
>
      <
bean
 
id
=
"configBean"
 class
=
"org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
>
           
<
property
 
name
=
"location"
>
               
<
value
>
hello.properties
</
value
>
           
</
property
>
       
</
bean
>

      <
bean
 
id
=
"helloBean"
 
class
=
"onlyfun.caterpillar.HelloBean"
>
          <
property
 
name
=
"helloWord"
>
              <
value
>
${onlyfun.caterpillar.helloWord}
</
value
>
          </
property
>
      </
bean
>
</
beans
>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING/DTD BEAN/EN" 
    "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd"> 

<beans>  
      <bean id="configBean" 
 class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">           <property name="location">               <value>hello.properties</value>           </property>       </bean> 

      <bean id="helloBean" class="onlyfun.caterpillar.HelloBean"> 
          <property name="helloWord"> 
              <value>${onlyfun.caterpillar.helloWord}</value> 
          </property> 
      </bean>
</beans>

假设在helloBean中有许多依赖注入的属性，这些都是比较不常变动的属性，而其中helloWord会经常变动，可以透过hello.properties来简单的设定，而这个资讯已设定在configBean的location属性中：
hello.properties

onlyfun.caterpillar.helloWord=Welcome!

onlyfun.caterpillar.helloWord=Welcome!

在helloBean的helloWord属性中，${onlyfun.caterpillar.helloWord}将会被hello.properties的helloWord所取代。

如果有多个.properties档案，则可以透过locations属性来设定，例如：
beans-config.xml

<?
xml
 
version
=
"1.0"
 
encoding
=
"UTF-8"
?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING/DTD BEAN/EN"
    "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<
beans

      <
bean
 
id

"configBean"
    class
=
"org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
>
           
<
property
 
name
=
"locations"
>
              <
list
>
                  
<
value
>
hello.properties
</
value
>
                  <
value
>
welcome.properties
</
value
>
                  <
value
>
other.properties
</
value
>
              </
list
>
          </
property
>
           
</
bean
>

      <
bean
 
id
=
"helloBean"
 
class
=
"onlyfun.caterpillar.HelloBean"
>
          <
property
 
name
=
"helloWord"
>
              <
value
>
${onlyfun.caterpillar.helloWord}
</
value
>
          </
property
>
          ...
      </
bean
>
</
beans
>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING/DTD BEAN/EN"

PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer类就是bean factory post-processor的一种，它的作用是一个资源属性的配置器，能够将BeanFactory的里定义的内容放在一个以.propertis后缀的文件中。
例如－－－spring-context.xml－－－－

<
bean
 
id
=
"propertyConfigurer"
   
class
=
"org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
>
         <
property
 
name
=
"locations"
>
             <
list
>
                 <
value
>
/WEB-INF/jdbc.properties
</
value
>
             </
list
>
         </
property
>
 </
bean
>
<
bean
 
id
=
"dataSource"
 
class
=
"org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"
>
    <
property
 
name
=
"driverClassName"
>
<
value
>
${driver}
</
value
>
</
property
>
    <
property
 
name
=
"url"
>
<
value
>
jdbc:${dbname}
</
value
>
</
property
>
</
bean
>

<bean id="propertyConfigurer"   class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
         <property name="locations">
             <list>
                 <value>/WEB-INF/jdbc.properties</value>
             </list>
         </property>
 </bean>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
    <property name="driverClassName"><value>${driver}</value></property>
    <property name="url"><value>jdbc:${dbname}</value></property>
</bean>

而实际的jdbc.propertis文件是
jdbc.driverClassName=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://production:9002
jdbc.username=sa
jdbc.password=root
而jdbc.propertis是怎样引用的呢： 将上边一段配置注册在web.xml中就可以了

<
context-param
>
<
param-name
>
contextConfigLocation
</
param-name
>
<
param-value
>
/WEB-INF/spring-context.xml
</
param-value
>
</
context-param
>
 当然，不要忘了spring的监听器注册
<
listener
>
<
listener-class
>
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
</
listener-class
>
</
listener
>

<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param> 当然，不要忘了spring的监听器注册
<listener>
<listener-class>
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
</listener-class>
</listener>

这样，一个简单的数据源就设置完毕了。
实际上，PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer起的作用就是将占位符指向的数据库配置信息放在bean中定义
的工具。
