Spring 3.2 PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer with JBoss EAP 6.2

I want Spring to check for system properties in JBoss EAP 6.2 (which uses JBoss AS 7.2) first and then properties that are located inside the jar.

I tried 

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:xxx.properties" />

But this uses the properties in the jar not the system properties from JBoss. I also tried

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:xxx.properties" system-properties-mode="OVERRIDE" />

Which should be using the old PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer, but this also still uses the properties in the jar. I also tried to set the 3.0 (instead of 3.2) spring xsd but to no avail.

So how can I let Spring first check the properties in JBoss and then in the jar?

EDIT: I tried to replace OVERRIDE with the other options (ENVIRONMENT, NEVER and FALLBACK), but I always end up with a value defined in local properties.

Solution

  • After Artem Bilan's comments, i searched again (just to make sure, there are no duplicates) and found a class that loads the same properties, but within Java (Properties.load()). This causes to override the system properties i was trying to load via Spring.
