Following is my code:
Why setter is mandatory. Without it, the class does not
read the property from the
application.yml file
correctly.
Thank you.
#Getter
#Setter
#NoArgsConstructor
#Configuration
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "test")
#EnableConfigurationProperties
public class KafkaTopicConfig {
private String bootstrapAddress;
#Value(value = "${test.bootstrapAddress}")
private String bootstrapAddressFromVariable;
should only use #Value in encapsulated components/services (we can call them configuration services).
This way, we will have all our configurations in one place, and that component will only have the responsibility of loading and providing them to other components.
https://stackabuse.com/the-value-annotation-in-spring
From baeldung.com... The Spring framework uses standard Java bean setters, so we must declare setters for each of the properties.
So it looks like you're using Lombok so I would make my class look more like this:
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "test")
#Data
public class KafkaTopicConfig {
private String bootstrapAddress;
}
Then in the main spring boot application class or a #Configuration class I would do:
#Configuration
#EnableConfigurationProperties({KafkaTopicConfig.class})
public MyApplicationConfig{
}
Then to use my configuration properties I would autowire it into the #Component where I wished to use it.
e.g.
#Component
public MyComponent{
private final KafkaTopicConfig config;
public MyComponent(KafkaTopicConfig config) {
this.config = config;
}
public void doStuff() {
if ("some address".equals(config.getBootstrapAddress())) {
blah();
}
}
}
Using the #Value inside the configuration properties feels confusing to me, and defeats the point of using configuration properties in the first place.

Suppose I have this service bean:
#Service
public class MyService{
private final HashMap<String,String> values;
...
}
with the values being:
com.foo:
values:
a: world
b: helo
I may want to create it inside of a configuration:
#Configuration
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix="com.foo")
public class MyConf{
private Map<String, String> values;
#Bean
public MyService myService(){
return new MyService(values);
}
}
But I fear that spring could do something strange like creating 2 beans or dunno what...is this a good practice or should I just move #ConfigurationProperties inside of the #Service itself?
You can inject your configuration directly into your Service
#Service
public class MyService{
private final MyConf conf;
public MyService(MyConf conf) {
this.conf = conf;
}
}
And remove the #Bean annotation from MyConf allong with myservice method.
You should not do that, as it will create two beans of the same type.
In your case, you have not mentioned different names for the beans
so it will override if spring.main.allow-bean-definition-overriding=true else it will fail.
PS: For #Service annotation to create a bean, the class package should be configured in the #ComponentScan or in the base scan package
If you want to use your properties values in your Service class (or anywhere else) you should just inject it :
#Service
public class MyService{
#Autowired
private MyConf myConf;
}
I have a SpringBoot 2.1.7.RELEASE project with gradle. I'm getting an error when I try to use #ConfigurationProperties
The property that I'm trying to bind is existing in my application-default.properties and if I run the project using Itellij I can see that the property is ingested in my component.
If I enable #EnableConfigurationProperties I got an error.
My application-default.properties
app.forwarding-endpoint=localhost:8080
My AppProperties.java
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "app", ignoreUnknownFields = false)
#Validated
#Data
public class AppProperties {
#NotBlank
#Pattern(regexp = "^(.+):\\d+$")
private String forwardingEndpoint;
}
My Application.java
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableConfigurationProperties(AppProperties.class)
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application .class, args);
}
}
My component that is using the property:
public MyComponent(#Value("${app.forwarding-endpoint}") String forwardingEndpoint) {
log.info("Forwarding endpoint {}", forwardingEndpoint);
}
The error that I get is:
Binding to target org.springframework.boot.context.properties.bind.BindException: Failed to bind properties under 'app' to com.config.AppProperties failed:
Property: app.forwardingEndpoint
Value: null
Reason: must not be blank
What am I missing?
The cause is in the order of initialization.
You did not fill AppProperties but start to use it in components. You need to annotate this class also as a component but it's not a good approach from point of view of an architecture.
The concept of #ConfigurationProperties is quite raw for Spring and without some manipulations, you will quite difficult to force it to work correctly. I propose a simple 'trick' (or 'another approach'):
#Data
public class AppProperties {
#NotBlank
#Pattern(regexp = "^(.+):\\d+$")
private String forwardingEndpoint;
}
(I think the place of #validated is not in the entitity/DO).
And place in your #Configuration next code:
#Bean
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "app", ignoreUnknownFields = false)
public AppProperties setAppProperties() {
return new AppProperties();
}
And next, you can inject AppProperties bean in any component.
I am experiencing problems using the #ConfigurationProperties feature.
Probably, I am missing something, since the mechanism seems very simple, but for me, it does not work.
I am using Spring Boot with the following main Application class
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableAspectJAutoProxy
#EnableConfigurationProperties(QueuesProperties.class)
#PropertySource("file:config/queues.properties")
#ImportResource("classpath:/spring-config.xml")
public class Application {
public static void main(String... args) {
ConfigurableApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
with QueuesProperties
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "wmq.in.queue")
public class QueuesProperties {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(QueuesProperties.class);
private String descr;
public String getDescr() {
return descr;
}
public void setDescr(String descr) {
this.descr = descr;
}
}
The properties file is very simple (I am trying to isolate the problem)
wmq.in.queue.descr = description
Then, I am trying to #Autowired the QueuesProperties in a #Component that I use in a spring-integration flow with a .
The QueuesProperties is correctly injected but the descr attribute is null.
#Autowired
private QueuesProperties queuesConfiguration;
while this
#Value("${wmq.in.queue.descr}")
private String descr;
is correctly evaluated.
I have made a lot of attempt with different configurations or code, but the result is the same. I get the QueuesProperties bean but it is not populated.
What am I missing?
Reading the question isn't very clear if the wmq.in.queue.descr = description properties is written in applciation.properties file. I said it because you say that the properties is correctly evaluated with #Value and not with
#Autowired
private QueuesProperties queuesConfiguration;
Even the #PropertySource("file:config/queues.properties") let me to think that probably the your wmq.in.queue.descr = description properties isn't written in applciation.properties but in file:config/queues.properties.
Summing
For use #ConfigurationProperties feature you have write the properties in application.properties and use #EnableConfigurationProperties(QueuesProperties.class) on #Component, #Configuration and so on annotated classes like below.
#Component
#EnableConfigurationProperties(QueuesProperties.class)
public class YourBean {
....
private final QueuesProperties queuesProperties;
public YourBean(QueuesProperties queuesProperties){
this.queuesProperties = queuesProperties;
}
.....
}
actually you can change the application.properties file name customizing spring boot properties evaluation but for your local app I discourage. I consider application.properties a good name for naming a place in which you put the configuration properties of your application
I hope that it can help you
I have a Spring Boot application and in one of the classes, I try to reference a property from the application.properties file using #Value. But, the property does not get resolved. I have looked at similar posts and tried following the suggestions, but that didn't help. The class is:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class PrintProperty {
#Value("${file.directory}")
private String fileDirectory;
public void print() {
System.out.println(fileDirectory);
}
}
I have the property file.directory in application.properties. I have other fields as well.
I had the same problem like you. Here's my error code.
#Component
public class GetExprsAndEnvId {
#Value("hello")
private String Mysecret;
public GetExprsAndEnvId() {
System.out.println("construct");
}
public void print(){
System.out.println(this.Mysecret);
}
public String getMysecret() {
return Mysecret;
}
public void setMysecret(String mysecret) {
Mysecret = mysecret;
}
}
This is no problem like this, but
we need to use it like this:
#Autowired
private GetExprsAndEnvId getExprsAndEnvId;
not like this:
getExprsAndEnvId = new GetExprsAndEnvId();
Here, the field annotated with #Value is null because Spring doesn't know about the copy of GetExprsAndEnvId that is created with new and didn't know to how to inject values in it.
Make sure your application.properties file is under src/main/resources/application.properties. Is one way to go. Then add #PostConstruct as follows
Sample Application.properties
file.directory = somePlaceOverHere
Sample Java Class
#ComponentScan
public class PrintProperty {
#Value("${file.directory}")
private String fileDirectory;
#PostConstruct
public void print() {
System.out.println(fileDirectory);
}
}
Code above will print out "somePlaceOverhere"
I´d like to mention, that I used spring boot version 1.4.0 and since this version you can only write:
#Component
public class MongoConnection {
#Value("${spring.data.mongodb.host}")
private String mongoHost;
#Value("${spring.data.mongodb.port}")
private int mongoPort;
#Value("${spring.data.mongodb.database}")
private String mongoDB;
}
Then inject class whenever you want.
EDIT:
From nowadays I would use #ConfigurationProperties because you are able to inject property values in your POJOs. Keep hierarchical sort above your properties. Moreover, you can put validations above POJOs attributes and so on. Take a look at the link
To read the values from application.properties we need to just annotate our main class with #SpringBootApplication and the class where you are reading with #Component or variety of it. Below is the sample where I have read the values from application.properties and it is working fine when web service is invoked. If you deploy the same code as is and try to access from http://localhost:8080/hello you will get the value you have stored in application.properties for the key message.
package com.example;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
#SpringBootApplication
#RestController
public class DemoApplication {
#Value("${message}")
private String message;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}
#RequestMapping("/hello")
String home() {
return message;
}
}
Try and let me know
You haven't included package declarations in the OP but it is possible that neither #SpringBootApplication nor #ComponentScan are scanning for your #Component.
The #ComponentScan Javadoc states:
Either basePackageClasses or basePackages (or its alias value) may be
specified to define specific packages to scan. If specific packages
are not defined, scanning will occur from the package of the class
that declares this annotation.
ISTR wasting a lot of time on this before and found it easiest to simply move my application class to the highest package in my app's package tree.
More recently I encountered a gotcha were the property was being read before the value insertion had been done. Jesse's answer helped as #PostConstruct seems to be the earliest you can read the inserted values, and of course you should let Spring call this.
I had the similar issue and the above examples doesn't help me to read properties. I have posted the complete class which will help you to read properties values from application.properties file in SpringBoot application in the below link.
Spring Boot - Environment #Autowired throws NullPointerException
Your problem is that you need a static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer Bean definition in your configuration. I say static with emphasis, because I had a non-static one and it didn't work.
#Bean
public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer() {
return new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer();
}
I had the same issue get value for my property in my service class. I resolved it by using #ConfigurationProperties instead of #Value.
create a class like this:
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "file")
public class FileProperties {
private String directory;
public String getDirectory() {
return directory;
}
public void setDirectory(String dir) {
this.directory = dir;
}
}
add the following to your BootApplication class:
#EnableConfigurationProperties({
FileProperties.class
})
Inject FileProperties to your PrintProperty class, then you can get hold of the property through the getter method.
I have a Spring 3.1 #Configuration that needs a property foo to build a bean. The property is defined in defaults.properties but may be overridden by the property in overrides.properties if the application has an active override Spring profile.
Without the override, the code would look like this, and work...
#Configuration
#PropertySource("classpath:defaults.properties")
public class MyConfiguration {
#Autowired
private Environment environment;
#Bean
public Bean bean() {
...
// this.environment.getRequiredProperty("foo");
...
}
}
I would like a #PropertySource for classpath:overrides.properties contingent on #Profile("overrides"). Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be achieved? Some options I've considered are a duplicate #Configuration, but that would violate DRY, or programmatic manipulation of the ConfigurableEnvironment, but I'm not sure where the environment.getPropertySources.addFirst() call would go.
Placing the following in an XML configuration works if I inject the property directly with #Value, but not when I use Environment and the getRequiredProperty() method.
<context:property-placeholder ignore-unresolvable="true" location="classpath:defaults.properties"/>
<beans profile="overrides">
<context:property-placeholder ignore-unresolvable="true" order="0"
location="classpath:overrides.properties"/>
</beans>
Update
If you're trying to do this now, check out Spring Boot's YAML support, particularly the 'Using YAML instead of Properties' section. The profile support there would make this question moot, but there isn't #PropertySource support yet.
Add the overriding #PropertySource in a static inner class. Unfortunately, you must specify all property sources together which means creating a "default" profile as the alternative to "override".
#Configuration
public class MyConfiguration
{
#Configuration
#Profile("default")
#PropertySource("classpath:defaults.properties")
static class Defaults
{ }
#Configuration
#Profile("override")
#PropertySource({"classpath:defaults.properties", "classpath:overrides.properties"})
static class Overrides
{
// nothing needed here if you are only overriding property values
}
#Autowired
private Environment environment;
#Bean
public Bean bean() {
...
// this.environment.getRequiredProperty("foo");
...
}
}
I suggest, defining two files, where the second is optional with the profile as suffix:
#Configuration
#PropertySources({
#PropertySource("classpath:/myconfig.properties"),
#PropertySource(value = "classpath:/myconfig-${spring.profiles.active}.properties", ignoreResourceNotFound = true)
})
public class MyConfigurationFile {
#Value("${my.prop1}")
private String prop1;
#Value("${my.prop2}")
private String prop2;
}
You can do:
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:${spring.profiles.active}.properties" />
Edit: if you need something more advanced, you can register your PropertySources on application startup.
web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>contextInitializerClasses</param-name>
<param-value>com.xxx.core.spring.properties.PropertySourcesApplicationContextInitializer</param-value>
</context-param>
file you create:
public class PropertySourcesApplicationContextInitializer implements ApplicationContextInitializer<ConfigurableApplicationContext> {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PropertySourcesApplicationContextInitializer.class);
#Override
public void initialize(ConfigurableApplicationContext applicationContext) {
LOGGER.info("Adding some additional property sources");
String[] profiles = applicationContext.getEnvironment().getActiveProfiles()
// ... Add property sources according to selected spring profile
// (note there already are some property sources registered, system properties etc)
applicationContext.getEnvironment().getPropertySources().addLast(myPropertySource);
}
}
Once you've done it you just need to add in your context:
<context:property-placeholder/>
I can't really answer to your question about multiple profiles but I guess you activate them on such an initializer, and you could register the appropriate PropertySource items during profile activations.
I can't think of any other way than one you have suggested Emerson, which is to define this bean in a separate #Configuration file with an #Profile annotation:
#Configuration
#Profile("override")
#PropertySource("classpath:override.properties")
public class OverriddenConfig {
#Autowired
private Environment environment;
#Bean
public Bean bean() {
//if..
}
}
In case you need to support multiple profiles you could do something like this:
#Configuration
public class Config {
#Configuration
#Profile("default")
#PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
static class DefaultProperties {
}
#Configuration
#Profile("!default")
#PropertySource({"classpath:application.properties", "classpath:application-${spring.profiles.active}.properties"})
static class NonDefaultProperties {
}
}
That way you don't need to define a static configuration class for each profile.
Thanks David Harkness for putting me into the right direction.
Note: This answer provides an alternate solution to using properties files with #PropertySource. I went this route because it was too cumbersome trying to work with multiple properties files that may each have overrides while avoiding repetitive code.
Create a POJO interface for each related set of properties to define their names and types.
public interface DataSourceProperties
{
String driverClassName();
String url();
String user();
String password();
}
Implement to return the default values.
public class DefaultDataSourceProperties implements DataSourceProperties
{
public String driverClassName() { return "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; }
...
}
Subclass for each profile (e.g. development, production) and override any values that differ from the default. This requires a set of mutually-exclusive profiles, but you can easily add "default" as the alternative to "overrides".
#Profile("production")
#Configuration
public class ProductionDataSourceProperties extends DefaultDataSourceProperties
{
// nothing to override as defaults are for production
}
#Profile("development")
#Configuration
public class DevelopmentDataSourceProperties extends DefaultDataSourceProperties
{
public String user() { return "dev"; }
public String password() { return "dev"; }
}
Finally, autowire the properties configurations into the other configurations that need them. The advantage here is that you don't repeat any #Bean creation code.
#Configuration
public class DataSourceConfig
{
#Autowired
private DataSourceProperties properties;
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
BoneCPDataSource source = new BoneCPDataSource();
source.setJdbcUrl(properties.url());
...
return source;
}
}
I am still not convinced I'll stick with this over manually configuring properties files based on the active profiles in a servlet context initializer. My thought was that doing manual configuration would not be as amenable to unit testing, but I'm not so sure now. I really prefer reading properties files to a list of property accessors.
All mentioned here solutions are a bit awkward, work only with one profile preset, and they won't work with more/other profiles. Currently a Spring team refuses to introduce this feature. But here's the working workaround I've found:
package com.example;
public class MyPropertySourceFactory implements PropertySourceFactory, SpringApplicationRunListener {
public static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyPropertySourceFactory.class);
#NonNull private static String[] activeProfiles = new String[0];
// this constructor is used for PropertySourceFactory
public MyPropertySourceFactory() {
}
// this constructor is used for SpringApplicationRunListener
public MyPropertySourceFactory(SpringApplication app, String[] params) {
}
#Override
public void environmentPrepared(ConfigurableBootstrapContext bootstrapContext, ConfigurableEnvironment environment) {
activeProfiles = environment.getActiveProfiles();
}
#Override
public PropertySource<?> createPropertySource(String name, EncodedResource encodedResource) throws IOException {
logger.info("Loading: {} with profiles: {}", encodedResource.toString(), activeProfiles);
// here you know all profiles and have the source Resource with main
// properties, just try to load other resoures in the same path with different
// profile names and return them as a CompositePropertySource
}
}
To make it working you have to have src/main/resources/META-INF/spring.factories with the following content:
org.springframework.boot.SpringApplicationRunListener=com.example.MyPropertySourceFactory
Now you can put your custom properties file somewhere and load it with #PropertySources:
#Configuration
#PropertySource(value = "classpath:lib.yml", factory = MyPropertySourceFactory.class)
public class PropertyLoader {
}
