The schema for the security configuration allows only integer for the http and https property. (which is fine)

<security:port-mappings>
<security:port-mapping http="9052" https="9452"/>
</security:port-mappings>

but, it would be great if we could externalize this configuration to a property file and use property place holder instead.

<security:port-mappings>
<security:port-mapping http="${server.unsecure_port}" https="${server.secure_port}"/>
</security:port-mappings>

app.properties
---------------------
server.unsecure_port=9052
server.secure_port=9452

or at-least be able to autowire only the portMappings property in to the default bean. Right now the only way to externalize the property file, is to re-do all the secuirty configuration using beans namespace. which is cubersome.

Let me know any other better way to handle this.
