Loading properties based on maven profiles?

I am using spring 3.2. I am trying to load properties file based on maven profile as below.

<build>
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
      </resource>
    </resources>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <source>1.7</source>
          <target>1.7</target>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.17</version>
        <configuration>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*Test.java</include>
            </includes>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

    </plugins>
  </build>

  <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>dev</id>
            <activation>
                <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
            </activation>
            <properties>
                <env>dev</env>
            </properties>
        </profile>
        <profile>
            <id>prod</id>
            <properties>
                <env>prod</env>
            </properties>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

applicationContext.xml

<bean id="props" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="locations" value="classpath:props/connection-${env}.properties"/>
    </bean>

here {env} should be replaced by maven profile.but it is not replacing. am getting below exception.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanInitializationException: Could not load properties; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [props/connection-{env}.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist.

I am loading application context as:

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:spring/applicationContext.xml");

when i do clean install {env} value has to be replaced by maven profile.

any help?

try to setup something like below in your maven for each of your profiles:

For example dev profile : 

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <configuration>
      <systemPropertyVariables>
         <env>dev</env>
      </systemPropertyVariables>
   </configuration>
</plugin>

Test Profile: 

<plugin>
       <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
       <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
       <configuration>
          <systemPropertyVariables>
             <env>test</env>
          </systemPropertyVariables>
       </configuration>
    </plugin>

A few months ago, I was learning this very thing, of how to use maven profiles. The guide can be shown on Apache's site, but I will show what is needed below.

It looks like you set up your maven profile correctly. However, you seem to be missing your profile setting in .m2/settings.xml:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>dev</id>
        <properties>
            <environment>dev</environment>
        </properties>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Optionally, you can set your maven profile when building with the following command:

mvn -Denv=dev

But if you don't want to specify this flag everytime you build, it is recommended to place your profile in your maven settings.xml file.

Your applicationContext.xml file should be in src/main/resources and your maven build should include a profiles section containing at least (I'm typing without checking)

    <profile>
        <id>prod</id>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <properties>
            <env>prod</env>
        </properties>
    </profile>

If all these conditions are met, I suggest you run mvn -X -e which will log you all what happens during build.

Lookup specifically for calls to org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin. There should be at least one call to that plugin and its configuration should include

[DEBUG] Configuring mojo org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6:copy-resources from plugin realm ClassRealm[plugin>org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6, parent: sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@77abfbdc]
[DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6:copy-resources' with basic configurator -->
[DEBUG]   ....
[DEBUG]   (s) filtering = true
[DEBUG]   ....
