Bean property init. from method call with property parameter

I'm trying to find a way to initialize a Bean's Property by invoking a method that uses another Property as a parameter.

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:application.properties" />
<bean id="decoder" class="foo.Decoder" />
<bean id="dataSource" class="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <!-- Here I'm trying to call the do() method on a Decoder instance -->
    <!-- The application.dbUrl is defined in application.properties file -->
    <!-- ... can't find the right syntax. If any. Thanks! -->
    <property name="URL" value="#{decoder.do(application.dbUrl)}" />
</bean>

Try this 

<property name="URL" value="#{decoder.do('${application.dbUrl}')}" />

Notice the ${..} which will instruct the SpEL parser to lookup it as property and not treat it as plain string value.

Let know in comments if any more information is required.
