Can i use @value annotation inside a method to read property?

   }
Solution

  • accessor private for a method variable is unappropriate.

    If you look at the definition of @Value annotation, it can only be placed FIELD, PARAMETER or METHOD level.

    @Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.PARAMETER})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface Value {

    So either you declare name as a class attribute or as a method parameter...
