How can I set active profile via annotation in spring?

Question

How can I set active profile via annotation in spring ?

For example:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = { ApplicationConfig.class }, loader = AnnotationConfigContextLoader.class)
@ActiveProfiles( profiles = {ApplicationProfiles.TEST} )
public class CacheManagerTest {
     ...
}

For JUnit test this works perfect, but how can I init production application context ? (I do not have any main method/сlasses)

You can pass in the active profile(s) at runtime using the spring.profiles.active property:

-Dspring.profiles.active="profile1,profile2"

See the SpringSource blog post on the introduction of profiles.
