Thanks everyone for the feedback! I’m glad this post has been helpful.

Also, I’m sorry (Nagababu, etc.) that I haven’t replied to specific questions. Maybe StackOverflow would be a better forum for quicker feedback? Thanks again.

Hey, Ben!
You made my day! (or two)
Thank you very much!

Maybe it will be useful for someone.
If you want to transfer you property from main argument (System[] args) to spring application context xml file, do following:
1. in your xml file use your property
Example:
(bean …)
(property name=”logFileName” value=”${my.env}” /)
(/bean)
2. in main() add this line
System.setProperty(”my.env”, args[0]);
3. Done! It was easy.

Attension: On next launch of program, if you delete setProperty(”my.env… line, this property will be null.

Hello Ben, thanks for this great help article. Can you please suggest something about my below problem. I was trying to load the environment variable from another property file. I am try to do as below. Does this have any problem? Although I get the error that ${app.env}.properties is not found why is this so. Thanks. The env.properties file has this app.env=app.test

Hi , cool , please can you make exmaple of any scenrio/option you mentioned using Spring 3 ?
encrypt part wasn’t so clear ,
and genral question , why to use properties file at all ? it’s just another file , we can use Spring 3 XML property definition and use EL expression for example …. and why to make more than 1 file ? why not merge all into 1 file?
Thanks
