## org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation
Annotation Type Value

    @Target(value={FIELD,METHOD,PARAMETER})
    @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
    @Documented
    public @interface Value

Annotation at the field or method/constructor parameter level that indicates a default value expression for the affected argument.

Typically used for expression-driven dependency injection. Also supported for dynamic resolution of handler method parameters, e.g. in Spring MVC.

A common use case is to assign default field values using "#{systemProperties.myProp}" style expressions.

Note that actual processing of the `@Value` annotation is performed by a `BeanPostProcessor` which in turn means that you cannot use `@Value` within `BeanPostProcessor` or `BeanFactoryPostProcessor` types. Please consult the javadoc for the `AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor` class (which, by default, checks for the presence of this annotation).
