How to access property from property file in java code( Mule ESB)

Question

I am trying to fetch a property from the properties file in java code written in mule.

Class Example {
@NotBlank("message" = "${prop1}")
String key1;
String key2;
}

prop1 is a property stored in properties file

prop1 = " 001 | key1 cannot be blank"

I want prop1 to be resolved as 001 | key1 cannot be blank. ${propname} doesn't work. I can't use the value annotation as I want to save the value of the property in the message.

The best approach for this is to not depend on any Mule specific code and deal with the property as you would any other argument, just passing it as a parameter. So when instantiating or calling a certain method, you'd just pass in the property at the Mule side:

<java:new class="com.me.Person" constructor="Person(String, Integer)">
    <java:args>#[{
      name: Mule::p('prop1'),
      age: 30
    }]</java:args>
</java:new>

Otherwise you'll depend on how that Java code is loaded since you'll need to inject a ConfigurationProperties instance and use it to resolve your property:

  @Inject
  private ConfigurationProperties configurationProperties;

  String getProperty(String name) {
     return configurationProperties.resolveStringProperty(name).orElse(null);
  }

This means your Java code has to be part of an SDK module so the injection takes place.
