In my Spring Boot application, i want to create environment specific properties file. The packaging type of my application in war and i am executing it in embedded tomcat. I use sts and execute the main from sts itself.
- Can i have environment specific properties file like application-${env-value}.properties?
In above case, env-value will have values as local/devl/test/prod
-
Where to set the env-value file? For local, i can set it as the jvm argument through sts
-
Who reads the application.properties in Spring Boot application.
-
How to load the environment specific properties file? For ex - if i set the database uid,pwd, schema etc in environment specific property file, in that case will the datasource be able to understand the properties in it?
-
Can i use application.properties and application-local.properties file at same time?
Answer
Spring Boot already [has support](http://docs.spring.io/spring- boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html) for [profile](http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework- reference/html/beans.html#beans-definition-profiles) based properties.
Simply add an application-[profile].properties file and specify the profiles
to use using the spring.profiles.active property.
-Dspring.profiles.active=local
This will load the application.properties and the application- local.properties with the latter overriding properties from the first.
