Class YamlPropertiesFactoryBean

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<Properties>


    public class YamlPropertiesFactoryBean
    extends YamlProcessor
    implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<Properties>
    Factory for Java Properties that reads from a YAML source. YAML is a nice human-readable format for configuration, and it has some useful hierarchical properties. It's more or less a superset of JSON, so it has a lot of similar features. The Properties created by this factory have nested paths for hierarchical objects, so for instance this YAML
     environments:
       dev:
         url: http://dev.bar.com
         name: Developer Setup
       prod:
         url: http://foo.bar.com
         name: My Cool App
     
    is transformed into these Properties:
     environments.dev.url=http://dev.bar.com
     environments.dev.name=Developer Setup
     environments.prod.url=http://foo.bar.com
     environments.prod.name=My Cool App
     
    Lists are represented as comma-separated values (useful for simple String values) and also as property keys with [] dereferencers, for example this YAML:
     servers:
     - dev.bar.com
     - foo.bar.com
     
    becomes java Properties like this:
     servers=dev.bar.com,foo.bar.com
     servers[0]=dev.bar.com
     servers[1]=foo.bar.com
