couldnt resolve placeholder from the config

hey guys. i have this config:

    bankAccounts:
      - iban: "LT123"
        cashRegId: 2
      - iban: "LT345"
        cashRegId: 2

    bankAccounts:
      - iban: "LT123"
        cashRegId: 2
      - iban: "LT345"
        cashRegId: 2

and i have this config:

@Component
@Configuration
@Getter
@Setter
public class BankAccountConfig {
    @Value("${bankAccounts}")
    private List<BankAccount> bankAccounts;
}

@Component
@Configuration
@Getter
@Setter
public class BankAccountConfig {
    @Value("${bankAccounts}")
    private List<BankAccount> bankAccounts;
}

and the thing is that idk how to tell @Value that i want to have a list. bc rn i need to specify an element. intellij suggests me this: @Value("${bankAccounts[0].iban}") any help? thx

Hint: You dont need to quote IBANS Try this instead:

    bankAccounts:
      - 
        iban: LT123
        cashRegId: 2
      - 
        iban: LT345
        cashRegId: 2

    bankAccounts:
      - 
        iban: LT123
        cashRegId: 2
      - 
        iban: LT345
        cashRegId: 2

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

u mean like that?

Peter Rader•8mo ago

I would add another space in 53 and 54.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

but is it even possible to do what i want? i.e. inject a list of objects in my Config class?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

crap, still doesnt work

Peter Rader•8mo ago

It should, is that the complete Config-class?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Oh, you need getter and setter for the private-field. And you need the @ConfigurationProperties("xxx") on that class.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

on that class. on which one? on my BankAccountConfig or BankAccount?

Peter Rader•8mo ago

BankAccountConfig

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

but i dont understand what to write between quotes

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Could you create another namespace before the config bankAccounts? Maybe empty is ok.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

my application.yaml looks like this. im not sure i understand what u mean

Peter Rader•8mo ago

I reproduced your problem and it works for me.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

so do i need to have @ConfigurationProperties annotation?

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Yes. I send you my working-example 1 Moment My main class:

You realy need the @EnableConfigurationProperties(BankAccountConfig.class)!

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

idk man. previously i had

@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="payment-import.baltic-gateway")
public class BankAccountConfig {
    private List<BankAccount> bankAccounts;

@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="payment-import.baltic-gateway")
public class BankAccountConfig {
    private List<BankAccount> bankAccounts;

and everything was fine. i didnt even need to have @EnableConfigurationProperties(BankAccountConfig.class)

Peter Rader•8mo ago

@EnableConfigurationProperties(BankAccountConfig.class) should go to the appconfig. Not the BankAccountConfig Do you have setter for BankAccounts in BankAccountConfig?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

idk its a good idea

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

nope, didnt need it bc BankAccount is:

@Getter
@Setter
public class BankAccount {
    String iban;
    Long cashRegId;
}

@Getter
@Setter
public class BankAccount {
    String iban;
    Long cashRegId;
}

Peter Rader•8mo ago

No no no, I did not meant the application.yml, I meant the AppConfigClass! You need to add @EnableConfigurationProperties(BankAccountConfig.class) to the application-config-java-class! I am pretty sure you need the setter. But I guess the setter is automatically generated by the @Setter annotation.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

yep

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Ok, did you add @EnableConfigurationProperties(BankAccountConfig.class) to the application-config-java-class?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

but i have like 5 config classes. why do i need to add only BankAccountConfig class to my application config java class?

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Hm, did you already have a @EnableConfigurationProperties in your application-config-java-class?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

nope. dont have it anywehere

Peter Rader•8mo ago

BankAccountConfig Is not a application-config-java-class by-the-way.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

i never said it is 😦

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Ah ok.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

np but i still dont get it

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

why cant this work? why is Spring so against it?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

it IS a list of objects

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Because bankAccounts are "configuration-properties" and not plain properties. Only @EnableConfigurationProperties(BankAccountConfig.class) allow spring to call the constructor of the class "BankAccount". The word "ConfigurationProperties" have a very special meaning.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

ok, but why did the old config versin work?

Peter Rader•8mo ago

This works great, do not change that!

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

i know it works, but i need to change it

Peter Rader•8mo ago

You might consider to remove the @Component. And you might consider to remove the prefix=. Why do you need to change it?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

i need to separate bank accounts. i want to have two separate lists. smth like this:

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

i have two banks: bank1 and bank2. and i want to have a list of accounts for each of them

Peter Rader•8mo ago

oh, I think I got your question wrong the whole time.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

doesnt matter. its ok

Peter Rader•8mo ago

-_-

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

and now i need to structure my application.yaml and tweak my BankAccountConfig a little and idk how to do it properly

Peter Rader•8mo ago

 paymentImport:
   balticGateway:
     bank1BankAccounts:
       - 
         iban: LT123
         cashRegId: 2
     bank2BankAccounts:
       - 
         iban: LT345
         cashRegId: 2

 paymentImport:
   balticGateway:
     bank1BankAccounts:
       - 
         iban: LT123
         cashRegId: 2
     bank2BankAccounts:
       - 
         iban: LT345
         cashRegId: 2

This might work

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

ok. but u see, i have this config

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

and in the 51st line there are accounts of bank1 id like to separate config and properties by the banks like in the 41st line idk if u understood me haha

Peter Rader•8mo ago

In line 43-45 the fields of bank1 do not match the fields in the class BankAccount

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

ok, ill show u what i want to achieve

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

i want to have this application.yml

Peter Rader•8mo ago

ah, it is getting clearer.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

and in my BankAccountCOnfig i want to have everything like this:

public class BankAccountConfig {
    @Value("${paymentImport.balticGateway.bank1.bankAccounts}")
    private List<BankAccount> bank1BankAccounts;
    @Value("${paymentImport.balticGateway.bank2.iban}")
    private List<BankAccount> bank2BankAccounts;
}

public class BankAccountConfig {
    @Value("${paymentImport.balticGateway.bank1.bankAccounts}")
    private List<BankAccount> bank1BankAccounts;
    @Value("${paymentImport.balticGateway.bank2.iban}")
    private List<BankAccount> bank2BankAccounts;
}

but @Value("${paymentImport.balticGateway.bank1.bankAccounts}") doesnt work, because Spring wont (for some reason) accept list

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Are you sure you could use @Value in a class that have the @ConfigurationProperties annotation?

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

im just showing you pseudocode what i want to do 😄

Peter Rader•8mo ago

Can you give an example of two bankacounts in line 7? The configuration looks like there is only one bank-account possible.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

"LT516126515919194" for example. doesnt matter tbh. why are you asking?

Peter Rader•8mo ago

You wrote this pseudocode:

 
  @Value("${paymentImport.balticGateway.bank2.iban}")
    private List<BankAccount> bank2BankAccounts;

 
  @Value("${paymentImport.balticGateway.bank2.iban}")
    private List<BankAccount> bank2BankAccounts;

but one iban is a string. String != List<BankAccount>

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

huh? you asked me about 7th line not 9th oh, wiat so the question is still there

Peter Rader•8mo ago

I give up, I dont get your question. Maybe someone else can help.

i hate SQL so much its unrealOP•8mo ago

😄 maybe someone else can help me out?
