Question

I want to access values provided in application.properties, e.g.:

logging.level.org.springframework.web: DEBUG
logging.level.org.hibernate: ERROR
logging.file=${HOME}/application.log

userBucket.path=${HOME}/bucket

I want to access userBucket.path in my main program in a Spring Boot application.

Answer

You can use the @Value annotation and access the property in whichever Spring bean you're using

@Value("${userBucket.path}")
private String userBucketPath;

The [Externalized Configuration](http://docs.spring.io/spring- boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html) section of the Spring Boot docs, explains all the details that you might need.
