How to extend spring by configuring spring xml

In a Spring 4 application, we are extending PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer to do some custom task during resolving properties.

To register our new class (MyPropertyConfigurer) o Spring we use the following class:

@Configuration
public class AppConfig {
  @Bean
    public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer
    propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer() {
        return new MyPropertyConfigurer();
    }

}

As a matter of curiosity, can I add my new bean to Spring with spring.xml instead of using the @Configuration annotation?

You can very well use a combination of both Spring based xml and java based config in your spring application.

You have to use

@ImportResource({"classpath:sampleapp.xml"})

along with 

@Configuration

Look at the sample post below which explains it:

I had the same problem, my problem was fixed simply with placing the bean of my class in my Springbeans.xml file like below:

<beans:bean class="MyPropertyConfigurer"/>
