How to access a value defined in the application.properties file in Spring Boot

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 1

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 section of the Spring Boot docs, explains all the details that you might need.

Answer 2

Another way is injecting org.springframework.core.env.Environment to your bean.

@Autowired private Environment env; ....  public void method() {     .....       String path = env.getProperty("userBucket.path");     ..... }
