Java – accessing property files in spring expression language

I created a simple web application using spring boot with thymeleaf I use application Properties file as configuration What I want to do is add new attributes such as name and version to the file and access the value of thymeleaf

I have been able to do this by creating a new javaconfiguration class and exposing a spring bean:

@Configuration
public class ApplicationConfiguration {

    @Value("${name}")
    private String name;

    @Bean
    public String name() {
        return name;
    }

}

I can use thymeleaf to display it in the template as follows:

<span th:text="${@name}"></span>

It seems too long and complicated for me What is the more elegant way to achieve this goal?

If possible, I want to avoid using XML configuration

Solution

You can get it through the environment For example:

${@environment.getProperty('name')}
