org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException. Invalid property <blah> is not writable or has an invalid setter method

I have the requirement to remove all passwords and encryption keys from the source code of my project. I'm struggling to get this to work in my spring-servlet.xml file. This worked before I tried making the change:

I want to move the jdbc_server_properties file to the filesystem and include the key in the file.

This is my last (of at least 25) attempt at getting this to work.

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.jasypt.spring4.properties.EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <constructor-arg ref="standardEncryptor" />
        <property name="jdbcUsername" value="JDBC_USERNAME" />
        <property name="jdbcPassword" value="JDBC_PASSWORD" />
        <property name="jdbcUrl" value="JDBC_URL" />
        <property name="jdbcDriver" value="JDBC_DRIVER" />
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>file:///${USERPROFILE}/credentials/jdbc_server.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
</bean>

<bean id="standardEncryptor" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.StandardPBEStringEncryptor">
        <property name="config" ref="environmentVariablesConfiguration" />
</bean>

<bean id="environmentVariablesConfiguration" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.config.EnvironmentStringPBEConfig">
        <property name="algorithm" value="PBEWithMD5AndDES" />
        <property name="passwordSysPropertyName" value="ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD" />
</bean>

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
        destroy-method="close" p:driverClassName="${jdbcDriver}" p:url="${jdbcUrl}"
        p:username="${jdbcUsername}" p:password="${jdbcPassword}">
</bean>

Using the above configuration, I get a NotWritablePropertyException exception. I've seen tons of posts on this issue but not where both the properties and encryption key are in a file on the filesystem. When this was working and the properties were read from a file in the classpath, there were no getters/setters for jdbcUsername (or the other properties) so I don't know why it's failing in this way now.

I tried adding the getters and setters (as String) to my BaseDaoImpl class but I still get the same error so if I'm supposed to add them, I'm not sure where they go.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'propertyConfigurer' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'jdbcUsername' of bean class [org.jasypt.spring4.properties.EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer]: Bean property 'jdbcUsername' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

That is probably because jdbcUsername is not a property of EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.

Please, try something like this (just remove the jdbc* properties from the EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer configuration, and use it directly in your dataSource bean):

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.jasypt.spring4.properties.EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <constructor-arg ref="standardEncryptor" />
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>file:///${USERPROFILE}/credentials/jdbc_server.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
</bean>

<bean id="standardEncryptor" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.StandardPBEStringEncryptor">
        <property name="config" ref="environmentVariablesConfiguration" />
</bean>

<bean id="environmentVariablesConfiguration" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.config.EnvironmentStringPBEConfig">
        <property name="algorithm" value="PBEWithMD5AndDES" />
        <property name="passwordSysPropertyName" value="ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD" />
</bean>

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
        destroy-method="close" p:driverClassName="${JDBC_DRIVER}" p:url="${JDBC_URL}"
        p:username="${JDBC_USERNAME}" p:password="${JDBC_PASSWORD}">
</bean>

Assuming your jdbc_server.properties file contains the required information:

JDBC_USERNAME=ENC(...)
JDBC_PASSWORD=ENC(...)
JDBC_URL=ENC(...)
JDBC_DRIVER=your.jdbc.driver
