Load multiple properties file using <util:properties> in spring 3

I want to load multiple properties files using <util:properties> tag in a spring 3 application. I searched on the blogs, but cannot get the correct path to do this.

Hopefully somebody give me the answer to overcome this problem.

Actually <util:properties> is just convenient tag for org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean. And PropertiesFactoryBean does support multiple locations.

So it is possible to create bean with Properties this way:

    <bean id="myProps" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>classpath:myprops-common.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:myprops-override.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:some-more-props-here.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

util:properties seems to support only 1 properties file (reference). You might want to use the configuration suggested by @peperg.

My solution

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath*:*.properties,file:/some/other/path/*.properties" />
