I want to inject property from .yml file. If property doesn`t exist or null I would like to inject default value
prop.yml
security:
disable:
#Value("${security.disable ? security.disable : false}")
It work correctly but when I add disable: true it don`t read value and inject default value(false)
With #Value you can use ':' for specifying default value
#Value("${security.disable:false}")
private final Boolean propVal;
Or you can use #ConfigurationProperties("security") on a class with default value inside. It needs a bit more work to get done (mostly adding #EnableConfigurationProperties), but it's much cleaner imho.
#ConfigurationProperties("security")
public class SecurityProperties{
#Getter #Setter
private Boolean disable=false;
}

I have a situation where we are reading one property from properties file and now we have been asked to point to another endpoint and for some time we have to manage both these endpoints unless this new endpoint is tested and validated throughly.
I wanted to handle this situation by adding this newer property in properties file and in the actual class were we are reading this property with #Value Annotation the old one can be passed as default with its key as value something like
#Value("${backend.endpoint:${older.endpoint}}"). is it possible ?
Yes you can do it, I have tested it, my sample code
code:
#Value("#{ ${spring.myapp.usenewval} ? '${spring.myapp.newval}' : '${spring.myapp.oldval}}'}")
private String message;
Properties
spring:
myapp:
usenewval: false
newval: hello
oldval: world.....
You can always set spring.myapp.usenewval from outside like
java -jar -Dspring.myapp.usenewval=true myapp.jar
You can use it like this. (I've personally never done it, so forgive me if I'm wrong)
#Configuration
public class PropertyConfiguration {
#Value("{'${backend.endpoint:${older.endpoint:}}'}")
private String myValue;
}
This #Value annotation uses backend.endpoint, if it is provided and defaults to older.endpoint, if backend.endpoint is not provided.
If neither is provided, the property must be set null.
There are other ways to handle this as well. Probably, use #Value for both the property and handle in code.
Here is quick fix for you. Kindly refer it.
You can set default value to #Value annotation of spring as following.
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value = "/your path")
public class MyController {
#Value("${key:true}")
private boolean booleanWithDefaultValue;
}
Here, I take Boolean variable and set default value as "true".
Hope this solution works.
I am trying to populate Custom class with properties. following is my Custom Properties class:
#Configuration
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "foo.bar")
public class CustomProperties{
private String PROPERTY_ONE;
private String propertyTwo;
//setters
//getters
}
and my properties in application.properties are:
foo.bar.PROPERTY_ONE=some text
foo.bar.PROPERTY_TWO=some other text
When I am trying to use value from CustomProperties this is what I gets:
customProperties.getPROPERTY_ONE() = null
customProperties.getPopertyTwo() = some other text
So I observed that if I have variable name with underscore(_) in it not populating the property value.
is there any way to get the value with variable having underscore?
Yes, it is 100% possible to get your configuration values.
It's all about the casing! Inside of CustomProperties simply name your first property propertyOne ... and refactor your getters/setters appropriately ... and you'll be good to go!
Spring's got the camel casing going on when translating the configuration fields to your Configuration classes/properties. So instead of matching the casing of your properties, follow the camel casing equivalent of the property name found in your configuration file.
Example: PROPERTY_ONE translates to propertyOne
Problem
I think that I havn't understood something properly because my #Value is always loading the default calue.
Java Code
So I have the following:
#Value("${disableQuerySecurityDebug:false}")
private boolean disableQuerySecurityDebug;
And this is set to false always.
Property file: application-disableQuerySecurityDebug.properties
I have a properties file called application-disableQuerySecurityDebug.properties.
And I have the following entry inside the file:
disableQuerySecurityDebugMne=true
And I run the application with the following profile: disableQuerySecurityDebugMne
I was expecting the value to be set to true, but it is always false.
Update
Based on deadpool's answer, I ended up with the following:
#Profile("disableQuerySecurityDebug") #Data
#Configuration
public class DisableSecurityConfig implements DisableQuerySecurityDebug {
#Value("${disableQuerySecurityDebug:true}")
private boolean securityDisabled;
}
#Profile("!disableQuerySecurityDebug") #Data
#Configuration
public class EnableSecurityConfig implements DisableQuerySecurityDebug{
#Value("${disableQuerySecurityDebug:false}")
private boolean securityDisabled;
}
public interface DisableQuerySecurityDebug{
public boolean isSecurityDisabled();
}
#Value annotation is only used to inject properties values into spring Beans from yml or properties file
This annotation can be used for injecting values into fields in Spring-managed beans and it can be applied at the field or constructor/method parameter level.
If you want to inject values based on profile specific then use #Profile on class
#Profile("disableQuerySecurityDebug")
#Configuration
public class Config {
#Value("${disableQuerySecurityDebug:false}")
private boolean disableQuerySecurityDebug;
}
You could also specify it on the command line by using the following switch:
java -jar demo.jar --spring.profiles.active=disableQuerySecurityDebug
I have read pretty much everything I can find on StackOverflow and other sites and I don't see a definitive answer anywhere.
I have a class that implements #Condition that I use in a #Configuration file to conditionally load some beans. I am doing something like this:
public class MyCondition implements Condition {
#Override
public boolean matches(ConditionContext context, AnnotatedTypeMetadata metdata) {
String property = context.getEnvironment().getProperty("some.prop.from.file");
boolean enable = Boolean.parseBoolean(property);
return enable;
}
}
When debugging I see that getting the property from the environment always returns null, even though the property is injected in other beans using #Value.
So my question can you or can't you attempt to get a property value from a file within a #Condition class? Can you only get System properties? I would think that this is a common use case that I would think Spring could handle.
Had to add the property to application.properties and not the other property files that are loaded during startup.
I am trying to find a way to do the following in my spring boot 1.5 application.
I have a variable who's value is dynamic meaning it comes in from an external system.
String name = "abc"; //gets set externally
I want to try and use the name's value to lookup my property file and see if there is a matching property defined. something like..
#Value("#{myClassName.name.concat('something')}")
String propertyValue;
Now my application.property file has the following property set
assume name has the value "abc"
property file contents:
abc.something:abcValue
Now, when i try to access the value of the variable propertyValue it gets set to the value abc.something and not abcValue.
I probably think I cannot use #Value with #{} to get to that, I was wondering if there was a way to to use #{} inside ${} so that I goes and fetches the property value after calculating the name of the property using #{}.
Let me know if you need more details please.
A bean life-cycle requires properties to be resolved at compile time. So, #Value requires constant parameter.
You can use Environment bean to access your properties programmatically.
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
#Service
public class Serivce {
#Autowired
private Environment environment;
public String getProperty(final String keyPart) {
String key = "build.your." + keyPart;
return environment.getProperty(key)
}
}
By the way you can use #('${spring.some.property}') in SpEL to access placeholder.
// This is valid access to property
#Value("#('${spring.some.property}')")
private String property;
