Strange exception on injection of primitive via Spring @Value annotation

I have strange error on attempt to inject int primitive via Spring @Value annotation.

• 
  

  I have property file "myProps.properties" with property

  
  

  
  number.of.search.log.events.in.queue=4
  
  



• 
  

  Configuration class on scanned path with content

  
  

  
  @Configuration
  @ComponentScan(basePackages = {
          "com.search.log"
  })
  @PropertySource("classpath:applicationConfig.properties")
  @EnableAspectJAutoProxy
  public class SearchLogConfiguration {
  
  }

  Aspect where primitive should be injected

  
  

  
  @Aspect
  @Component
  public class SearchLogAspectHandler {
  
      @Value("${number.of.search.log.events.in.queue:2}")
      public int numberOfSearchLogEventsInQueue;
  ...
  }
  
  

Every time on application start I got this exception:

Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is   org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: public int numberOfSearchLogEventsInQueue; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [int] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value(value=${number.of.search.log.events.in.queue})}
at org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.postProcessPropertyValues(AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.java:298)

Question: Please, help to find out why Spring can't inject primitive, but instead is trying to inject bean of type [int] and can't found one.
