I am trying to package my project in a .war
for a tomcat server deployment. I need the ability to use my application.properties
OR application-dev.properties
OR appliation-qa.properties
OR application-prod.properties
. Running the project with the embeded servlet I am able to specify via the command line which one I want to use, but, the project always uses application.properties
when I package it as a .war
.
I use the following commands to run my project locally:
mvn spring-boot:run
mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.arguments="--spring.profiles.active=dev"
And this command to package my project though bamboo for deployment:
mvn package -Dspring.profiles.active=qa

EDIT 1:30PM 7-21-16
I've added the following to my pom.xml and tried packaging with mvn package -P PROD
, however, when I hit /about
I still see that I'm using appliation.properties
instead of application-prod.properties
.
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>QA</id>
<properties>
<spring.profiles.active>qa</spring.profiles.active>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>DEV</id>
<properties>
<spring.profiles.active>dev</spring.profiles.active>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>PROD</id>
<properties>
<spring.profiles.active>prod</spring.profiles.active>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
properties in default location. Spring Boot loads the application. properties file automatically from the project classpath. All you have to do is to create a new file under the src/main/resources directory.
Another method to access values defined in Spring Boot is by autowiring the Environment object and calling the getProperty() method to access the value of a property file.
Another way to read application properties in the Spring Boot application is to use the @ConfigurationProperties annotation. To do that, we will need to create a Plain Old Java Object where each class field matches the name of the key in a property file.
Only use this when you want to deploy.
java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=<active profile name> <your war file name>.war
You can define the spring profiles through the following:
web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
<param-value>your target profile here</param-value>
</context-param>
setenv.sh
Under your Tomcat's bin folder create setenv.sh file with the following content:
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dspring.profiles.active=<your target profile here>"
To package the project according to a pre defined profile, you need to do this :
In your application.properties
, add
In your POM, add this :
<build> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/resources</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> </resource> </resources>
and define your profiles (just like what you did)
run the command mvn package -P QA
You will see that in the generated WAR, in the application.properties
, [email protected]@
will be replaced with spring.profiles.active=QA
