Getting Null value while reading properties

[saravanan sambandam]

Hi,

I am new to springframework, i am facing some issue while reading properties fil using spring MVC (Spring-4.1 -
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-4.1.xsd).

I have configured error.message.properties on spring-servlet.xml, enter was

<util:properties id="errorMsgProperties" location="classpath:errorcode.message.properties"/> 
<bean id="importControllerHelper"  class = "com.sun.loof.user.web.helper.ImportControllerHelper">  
    		<property name="errorMsgProperties" ref="errorMsgProperties"/>
    </bean>

java code is

public class ImportControllerHelper {

private Properties errorMsgProperties;

getter & setter methods

public impExpResponse doImportProcess(Map <String, List> excelDataMap,
					Map <String, Object> reqParamMap, HttpSession session ) throws SunLoofException { 
		final String propertyValue = getErrorMsgProperties().getProperty(errorCode);
		final String propertyValue1 = getErrorMsgProperties().getProperty(errorCode.toString());
		System.out.println("<---11----propertyValue:::propertyValue--------> " + propertyValue);
		System.out.println("<---22----propertyValue:::propertyValue--------> " + propertyValue1);

               getPropertyValue(errorCode);          

 }

Here i am getting NullPointerException = getErrorMsgProperties is null.  Why? here i am getting null value.
private String getPropertyValue(String errorCode) {
                        final String propertyValue = getErrorMsgProperties().getProperty(errorCode);
			final String responseMsg = importItem   + propertyValue;
			impExpResponseObj.setResponseMessage(responseMsg);
               } 
}

#1. doImportProcess() method itself i am getting property value.   Where as outside of this method i am getting getErrorProperties() is null.

I am not able to understand why i am getting this.

error.messge.properties
SCI_10000 = Sorry, services not available
SCI_10001 = File Type is not correct. Please import Excel sheet. 
SCI_10002 = Invalid import template, please download import template.
SCI_10003 = Please select AddNew/Replace Exist Option.

Thanks.
