Using Property files in Spring 4 MVC

I have some properties that I have put in a property file config.properties in the dir resources/config.config.properties.

I have the servlet.xml spring config file in the resources dir. It has this line

<util:properties id="nodeProperty"
        location="classpath:config/config.properties" />
<context:property-placeholder properties-ref="nodeProperty"/>

In my controller I want to use the property from the file. Hence I have this line

   @Autowired
        @Value ("${paths.root}")
private  String rootPath;

later in a web method I am saying 

 String rootPath =  rootPath;

For this line I am getting the variable not initialized error for compiling.

If anyone has any solutions to this problem please let me know..

Solved the issue using a q posted on stackoverflow. Added the following line in the servlet.xml

<util:properties id="someid" location="classpath:config/config.properties"/>

and then in my controller

private @Value("#{someid['paths.root']}") String rootPath;

Removed the @autowired and it worked!
