@PostConstruct and PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer do not work together in AnnotationConfigApplicationContext [SPR-8257]

[spring-projects-issues]

Stepan Koltsov opened SPR-8257 and commented

@Configuration
public class TmpConfig {

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        System.out.println("TmpConfig.init");
    }

    @Bean
    public PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer propertyPlaceholderConfigurer() {
        return new PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer();
    }

}


new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(TmpConfig.class);

nothing is printed. However, if propertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean removed:

@Configuration
public class TmpConfig {

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        System.out.println("TmpConfig.init");
    }

}


new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(TmpConfig.class);

"TmpConfig.init" is printed as expected.

Thanks for the report Stepan. Please see the resolution comment on #12917 and try out the new support in the next Spring 3.1 nightly snapshot.

Chris, now I should declare PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer as a static @Bean method, and regular beans as usual, right?

Correct.
