title: How to read from property file in web.xml
body: <p>in my <strong>web.xml</strong> i want to read the welcome file from property file 
  something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;welcome-file-list&gt;
      &lt;welcome-file&gt;${home.page}&lt;/welcome-file&gt;
    &lt;/welcome-file-list&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i have <strong>propertyPlaceholderConfigurer</strong> configured:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;bean id="propertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
          class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"&gt;
          &lt;property name="locations"&gt;
              &lt;list&gt;
  
                  &lt;value&gt;classpath:messages/application.properties&lt;/value&gt;
  
              &lt;/list&gt;
          &lt;/property&gt;
      &lt;/bean&gt;
  </code></pre>
