Allows for making a properties file from a classpath location available as Properties instance in a bean factory. Can be used to populate any bean property of type Properties via a bean reference.

Supports loading from a properties file and/or setting local properties on this FactoryBean. The created Properties instance will be merged from loaded and local values. If neither a location nor local properties are set, an exception will be thrown on initialization.

Can create a singleton or a new object on each request. Default is a singleton.

Template method that subclasses may override to construct the object returned by this factory. The default implementation returns the plain merged Properties instance.

Invoked on initialization of this FactoryBean in case of a shared singleton; else, on each getObject() call.

Throws:
  • IOException – if an exception occurred during properties loading
