spring boot adding another properties file to the environment

Question

I was wondering if it was possible to add another properties file to the environment path besides just the application.properties file. If so how do you specify the new path? So you can access the properties using the Autowired Environment variable. Currently in my java project the default properties file application.properties have the path /soctrav/src.main.resources/application.properties

Answer 1

If you want to do it without command line parameters, this will do the trick.

@SpringBootApplication
@PropertySources({
        @PropertySource("classpath:application.properties"),
        @PropertySource("classpath:anotherbunchof.properties")
})
public class YourApplication{

}
