Defining Multiple Property Locations ‘The @PropertySource annotation is repeatable according to Java 8 conventions https./docsoracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/annolalions/repealinghiml. Therefore, if were using Java 8 or higher. we can use this annotation to define multiple property locations: erropertySource( "classpath: foo. properties @PropertySource("ctasspath:bar. properties") public class Propertieswithsavaconfig { w O y Of course, we can also use the a@PropertySources annotation and specify an array of @PropertySource. This ‘works in any supported Java version, not justin Java 8 or higher ‘@PropertySource("classpath: foo.properties"), 0 » public class Propertieswithavatonfig { w y Incither case. its worth noting that in the event of a property name collision, the last source read takes precedence. 3.

Properties With Spring Boot Before we go into more advanced configuration options for properties. lets spend some time looking at the new properties support in Spring Boot. Generally speaking, this new support involves less configuration compared to standard Spring, which is of ‘course one of the main goals of Boot, 4.1. application properties: the Default Property File Boot applies its typical convention over configuration approach to property files. This means that we can simply put an application properties file in our src/main/resources directory, and it will be auto-detected. We can then inject any loaded properties from it as normal, So. by using this default fle, we dont have to explicitly register a PropertySource or even provide a path to a property fle. We can also configure a different file at runtime if we need to, using an environment property: [= ‘As of Spring Boot 23 thllos://github com/spring-projects/spring-boot/ wiki/Spring-Boot-23-Release- Notes#support-of-wildcard-locations-for-configuration-fles), we ean also specify wildcard locations for configuration files. For example, we can set the spring config ocation property to config/“/ ‘jar app.fer --spring.config. locationsclesspath: /another-Lacat ton. properties oO | {ava Jar app.jar ~-epring.cotig.locationscontig/+/ oO This way, Spring Boot will look for configuration fles matching the config// directory pattern outside of our jar fle, This comes in handy when we have multisle sources of configuration properties. Since version 240, Spring Boot supports using multi-document properties files, simiariy as YAML does {nttps:/yamLorg/spec/12/spechtmliit2760396) by design: baeldung.custonProperty=derautevatue oO bee lung cus tonPropertymoverriddenvalue Note that for properties files, the three-dashes notation is preceded by a comment character (# 4.2.

For example, if we define a “staging” environment that means well have to define a staging profile and then application-staging properties. This env file will be loaded and will take precedence over the default property fle, Note that the default file will siill be loaded, its just that when there is a property collision, the environment-specific property file takes precedence. 4.3. Test-Specific Properties File ‘We might also have a requirement to use different property values when our application is under test. ‘Spring Boot handles this for us by Looking in our src/test/resources directory during a test run, Again, default properties will still be injectable as normal but willbe overridden by these if there is a collision. 4.4. The @TestPropertySource Annotation lf we need more granular control over test properties, then we can use the @TestPropertySource (hlte.7/docs spring io/ spring/docs/current/javadoc- api/org/springframework/test/context/ TestPropertySource html) annotation. This allows us to set test properties for a specific test context, taking precedence over the default property sources: Se an ehSrnceeeelnes« value "$> CHECK OUT THE COURSE (/1s-course-end) Learning to build your API with Spring? htipsifwnww.bacldung,comlproperties-with-spring sontozive023 18.47 Properties with Spring and Spring Boot| Baeloung ‘owrildad the E-book (/rest-api-spring-guide) ‘Comments are closed on this article! ‘COURSES SERIES JAWA BACK TO BASICS" TUTORIAL V/IAVALTUTORAL ‘ABOUT htipsifwnww.bacldung,comlproperties-with-spring wnt
