body: <p>How to handle multiple property files in spring with placeholderconfigurer?</p>
  
  <p>I have an application context in Common project with following bean entry:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"&gt;
  &lt;property name="location" value="classpath:database.properties" /&gt;
  &lt;/bean&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>And in Service layer project I have another application context file with this bean entry:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;beans:bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"&gt;<br>
  &lt;beans:property name="location" value="classpath:kestrel.properties" /&gt;<br>
  &lt;/beans:bean&gt;</code>  </p>
  
  <p>The entries in property file are like :<br>
  database proprties:<br>
  URL= xxx<br>
  USERNAME = xxx<br>
  PWD = xxx  </p>
  
  <p>kestrel.properties:<br>
  mediacast.url = xxx  </p>
  
  <p>With these setting, when I start my tomcat server I get expection like:<br>
  Could not resolve placeholder 'mediacast.url' from kestrel.properties - property file.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
