How to get properties in JSP files using spring mvc 3

Question

I am very new to spring mvc 3 annotation based application. I have two properties files - WEB-INF\\resources\\general.properties, WEB-INF\\resources\\jdbc_config.properties

Answer 1

I ended up using Environment

Add these lines to config

@PropertySource("classpath:/configs/env.properties")
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{...}

You can get the properties from controller using autowired Environment

public class BaseController {
    protected final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());

    @Autowired
    public Environment env;

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String rootPage(ModelAndView modelAndView, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        LOG.debug(env.getProperty("download.path"));
        return "main";
    }
}
