Spring EL - split a property value and get the second entry

I have the following property in my properties

test.property=context:test:sample

I'm trying to retrieve the value "test" by doing a split with colon(:) and getting the second part.

I'm doing this:

@Value("#{'${test.property}'.split(':')[1]}")
private String test;

However, it seems to come up as null. Is there something wrong in what I'm doing? I have other properties being injected in the same file and they seem to be read without a problem. Even if I replace the expression above with just a @Value("${test.property}"), it seems to read the string context:test:sample

What you have works fine for me (I just tested it); you must have some other problem with your configuration. Turn on DEBUG logging for org.springframework and watch all the injection processing.
