Spring: Using @Qualifier with Property Placeholder

Question

I am trying to use a property placeholder as the attribute for @Qualifier, as follows:

@Autowired
@Qualifier("${beanName}")
private MyBean myBean;

However, this does not work, even though the property placeholder is available as a String value:

@Value("${beanName}")
private String beanName;

What would be a good workaround here, thanks very much.

I encountered exactly same issue. Just use Resource

@Resource(name="${beanName}")
private MyBean myBean;
