How do I update the value of an @Autowired String bean in Spring?

Question

I have a String that I\'m autowiring as a bean. The value for the String is set via a properties file, and is loaded at runtime. That much I can verify. Here\'s

Answer 1

After reading a few of the other answers and comments, I was able to figure out a solution. I ended up creating a simple class:

public class LPropBean {

   private String loadedProp;

   public LPropBean(String loadedProp) {
       this.loadedProp = loadedProp;
   }

   // getters and setters...
}

I updated my XML file:

  
    ${loaded-prop}
  

And updated all of the @Components that autowire in the bean:

@Autowire
private LPropBean lPropBean;

// ... later ...
lPropBean.setLoadedProp(newProp);

// ... later ...
lPropBean.getLoadedProp();

I'm sure there is a more elegant way, but this worked exactly how I needed it to.
