Setting the default active profile in Spring-boot

Question

I want my default active profile to be production if -Dspring.profiles.active is not set.

I tried the following in my application.properties but it did't work:

spring.profiles.default=production 

Spring-boot version = 1.3.5.RELEASE

Answer 1

What you are doing here is setting the default default profile (the profile that is used on any bean if you don't specify the @Profile annotation) to be production.

What you actually need to do is set the default active profile, which is done like this:

spring.profiles.active=production 

Answer 2

add --spring.profiles.active=production

Example:

java -jar file.jar --spring.profiles.active=production
