I want to use the @Value annotation to inject a Double property such as: @Service public class MyService { @Value("${item.priceFactor}") private Double priceFactor = 0.1; // ... and using Spring property placeholder (Properties files): item.priceFactor=0.1 I get Exception: org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.lang.Double'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "${item.priceFactor}" Is there a way to use a Double value coming from a properties file?

I'm using Spring Boot application. In some @Component class @Value fields are loaded, instead on other classes they are always null . Seems that @Value (s) are loaded after my @Bean / @Component are created. I need to load some values from a properties file in my @Bean . Have you some suggestion?

My folders structure is ProjectDirectory/src/main/java ProjectDirectory/src/main/resources/countries.xml My first idea was to put it in src/main/resources, but when I try to create File (countries.xml) I get a NPE and the stacktrace shows that my file is looked in the ProjectDirectory (so src/main/resources/ is not added). I tried to create File (resources/countries.xml) and the path would look like ProjectDirectory
