How to change default spring profil ("cloud") in cloud foundry

Question

I want to launch my spring-boot application after a cf push with a custom profile named my_profile, but the app is always launched with the default one cloud profile. How can I specify the exact profile to load?

I already tried to add the environment variable in the manifest.yml like this:

env:
      SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE: my_profile 

But the application was load with both profiles (cloud & my_profile)

Do you have a solution to load juste my custom profile and not integrate the default one?

Answer 1

This is coming from the Java buildpack and it's Spring Auto-reconifguration support.

The Spring Auto-reconfiguration Framework adds the cloud profile to any existing Spring profiles such as those defined in the SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE environment variable.

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack/blob/master/docs/framework-spring_auto_reconfiguration.md

To disable this behavior, you can disable the Spring Auto-reconfiguration support.

Set an env variable JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_AUTO_RECONFIGURATION to { enabled: false }.

Ex:

cf set-env my-cool-app JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_AUTO_RECONFIGURATION '{ enabled: false }'

Please note that this will also disable the cloud.* properties and automatic rewriting of bean to configure services.
