Re: PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer properties not being substituted in unit test

osganian — Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:42:09 GMT

Thanks for the reply. So I have gotten a little further. Seems I have 2 PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer beans defined in my spring xml. I have 1 spring xml that defines one and another that gets included that defines another one. So I had to specify a placeholderPrefix & placeholderSuffix for one of them so they don't conflict. The reason I have 2 is because one is a test spring xml that defines some test properties. However I am still getting a similar error that is occurring in my test case's use of ActivitiTestCase.

I tried to attach my entire maven test case as a zip but I get this error uploading it on this forum:

"The selected file activiti-test.zip cannot be uploaded. Only files with the following extensions are allowed: txt."

So I have uploaded them separately with a .txt extension.

Below is the stack trace when I run my simple junit test:
