This error has started appearing when I use the @Value annotation on my private Map<String, String> properties.
In the myapp.properties file I have a few values set that I want to be able to access via my java API so that the frontend (Vue.js 2) can be responsive to the server it is being hosted from.
My issue began when I started trying to set one property to an object of key:value pairs. This is what my property looked like in the myapp.properties file.
myProp={a-special-key:'true'}
This resulted in my controller class (which has all business logic self-contained) to fail on init while trying to obtain values due to the @Value("#{${myProp}}").
Any idea why this error is being thrown? Error below -
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'myappController': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'properties'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanExpressionException: Expression parsing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelEvaluationException: EL1008E: Property or field 'a' cannot be found on object of type 'org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanExpressionContext' - maybe not public or not valid?

I received this warning about 10 times in a row at any given time. It always happened for both doing a 'Clean and Build' of the project, and on deploying via 'Run'.
Any ideas as to why this may be happening?
This is all in NetBeans 12.4 IDE.
CodePudding user response：
I have found a solution and am posting here in case anyone else has the same issue.
My key names within the property object (in my myapp.properties file) seem to be causing an issue when parsing occurs.
I have found this is down to the hyphens (-) used in the key names.
To fix this simply change similar values from this -
myProp={a-special-key:'true'}
to this -
myProp={aSpecialKey:'true'}
This fixed the issue after a 'Clean and Build' and 'Run' as the new value was then picked up from the file.
