How to inject Spring properties using annotations?

I started to change a couple of projects from xml configuration to annotations and it wasn't trivial.
One of these items was the injection of properties using annotations.

First of all, we need a property configurer

	<bean id="propertyConfigurer"
	class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
	<property name="location">
	<value>file:${configuration.path}/ng.properties</value>
	</property>
	</bean>

The configuration file is a common property file.

application.title = My Application Title

In my case, I want to define a configuration bean, so I put in one place all the configurations. But you can use the same approach injecting the properties in your specific beans.

	@Repository("ngConfiguration")
	public class NGConfiguration {
	@Value("${application.title}")
	private String applicationTitle;
	public String getApplicationTitle() {
	return applicationTitle;
	}
	}
