dynamically set @JmsListener destination from configuration properties

Question

I want to be able to set the @JMSlistener destination from an application.properties

my code looks like this

@Service
public class ListenerService {
    private Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ListenerService.class);

    @Autowired
    QueueProperties queueProperties;


    public ListenerService(QueueProperties queueProperties) {
        this.queueProperties = queueProperties;

    }

    @JmsListener(destination = queueProperties.getQueueName() )
    public void listenQueue(String requestJSON) throws JMSException {
        log.info("Received " + requestJSON);

    }
}

but when building I get

Error:(25, 60) java: element value must be a constant expression

You can't reference a field within the current bean, but you can reference another bean in the application context using a SpEL expression...

@SpringBootApplication
public class So49368515Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(So49368515Application.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public ApplicationRunner runner(JmsTemplate template, Foo foo) {
        return args -> template.convertAndSend(foo.getDestination(), "test");
    }

    @JmsListener(destination = "#{@foo.destination}")
    public void listen(Message in) {
        System.out.println(in);
    }

    @Bean
    public Foo foo() {
        return new Foo();
    }

    public class Foo {

        public String getDestination() {
            return "foo";
        }
    }

}

You can also use property placeholders ${...}.
