What is property resolution order in Spring property placeholder configurer with multiple locations?

Question

Lets say I have a configuration:

Answer 1

The last one wins.

Assuming we have props1.properties as

prop1=val1

and props2.properties

prop1=val2

and context.xml

    
        
            /props1.properties
            /props2.properties
        
    

 

then

public class Test1 {
    @Value("${prop1}")
    String prop1;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/test1.xml");
        System.out.println(ctx.getBean(Test1.class).prop1);
    }

}

prints

val2

and if we change context as

        
            /props2.properties
            /props1.properties
        

the same test prints

val1
