Description

If a value (not a service) to be injected into a method is a string that contains a colon (':') character, it will be interpreted as a object provider expression (i.e., such as "service:foo" or "infrastructure:bar"). If the value is a JDBC or other URL, the scheme ("http:") will be interpretted as a object provider prefix, resulting in an exception.

Either @Inject needs an attribute for this case (i..e, literal=true), or there needs to be a secondary annotation, @InjectValue, for this case.

Hiding the URL inside a symbol, i.e., @Inject("${mysymbol}") doesn't work, because ${mysymbol} is expanded before the check for the colon.
