Spring property resolved in @RequestMapping but not in Hateos link

[Rashin46]

I wanted to create custom mapping based on some spring property. What I did was adding the spring property to RequestMapping like this:

@RequestMapping(value = "/api/${property.version}", produces = HAL_JSON_VALUE)

My application.properties contains only this property:
property.version=v2

And if I start the service I can see that the property has been resolved:
Mapped "{[/api/v2/hello],methods=[GET],produces=[application/hal+json]}" onto public com.test.hateos.testhateos.domain.Message com.test.hateos.testhateos.controller.HomeController.hello()

However the generated self link for my resource does not resolve this property:

"_links": {
    "self": {
        "href": "http://localhost:8080/api/${property.version}/hello"
    }
}

I was expecting that the property will be resolved in the self link too.
See my test project attached.
You can find a failing test regarding this problem.

BTW, I'd vote against versioning your API. It not recommended per Roy Fielding.

As a practical aside, it's unnecessary with Spring HATEOAS. Check out the following example where changes are rolled out without needing versioning:

Oh, sorry I didn't find the duplicate. I will close this issue.
Thanks for the advise but this was only for example.
