Spring @Value TypeMismatchException:Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.lang.Double'

I want to use the @Value annotation to inject a Double property such as:

@Service
public class MyService {

    @Value("${item.priceFactor}")
    private Double priceFactor = 0.1;

// ...

and using Spring property placeholder (Properties files):

item.priceFactor=0.1

I get Exception:

org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.lang.Double'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "${item.priceFactor}"

Is there a way to use a Double value coming from a properties file?

Solution

  • Try changing the following line

    @Value("${item.priceFactor}")

    to

    @Value("#{new Double('${item.priceFactor}')}")
