I have a property file as below

Key1~~value1
Key2~~value2

How to read this custom separator property file using Spring.

Spring @PropertySource can read the property files with keys and values separated by = or :.

  • that thread discusses about having the separator in keys or values. Also, the solution also is about having = or : as separator. – Vijay Innamuri Sep 13 '18 at 00:10

On the presumption that you are using a created properties file. You can use the setGlobalSeparator(String globalSeparator) method of PropertiesConfigurationLayout and change the separator to use ~~. Per the documentation, it will overwrite the existing configuration layout to set the new global separator.

Something like this: 

PropertiesConfiguration propertiesConfig = new PropertiesConfiguration("test.properties");
PropertiesConfigurationLayout layout = new PropertiesConfigurationLayout(propertiesConfig);
layout.setGlobalSeparator("~~");
propertiesConfig.setLayout(layout);

  • Using Spring as in? You are anyways using the `@PropertySource` annotation to get the properties file using Spring. You could use do this to set the default global separator. – Saran Sep 13 '18 at 00:49
