三个文件：

pom.xml：

<properties>
    <jdbc.driver>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</jdbc.driver>
</properties>

jdbc.properties：

jdbc.driver=${jdbc.driver}

applicationContext.xml：

<property name="driver" value="${jdbc.driver}"/>

报错：

Circular placeholder reference 'jdbc.driver' in property definitions

解决方式：

在 pom.xml 里加上下面这段：

<build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.*</include>
            </includes>
            <filtering>false</filtering>
        </resource>

        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.properties</include>
            </includes>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
        </resource>
    </resources>
</build>

问题解决！
