title: Spring properties file as xml
body: <p>I have properties file <strong>config.properties</strong> where are stored some application wide properties. And I have imported it using property placeholder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;context:property-placeholder location="classpath:/config.properties" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to store properties in XML file to pass some XML schema validations. 
  My question is how to import XML file as properties file in spring,?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Arsen</p>
