Read multiple properties file in one go using Spring Boot? - spring

Question

I went through the link: How to pass a Map<String, String> with application.properties and other related links multiple times, but still its not working.
I'm using Spring Boot and Spring REST example. Link Question: How to by default execute the latest version of endpoint in Spring Boot REST?.
I've created mapping something like this and simply read the mapping
get.customers={GET: '/app-data/customers', VERSION: 'v1'}
post.customers={POST: '/app-data/customers', VERSION: 'v1'}
get.customers.custId={GET: '/app-data/customers/{custId}', VERSION: 'v2'}
Code:
private String resolveLastVersion() {
// read from configuration or something
return "2";
}
Code:
#Component
#ConfigurationProperties
#PropertySource("classpath:restendpoint.properties")
public class PriorityProcessor {
private final Map<String, String> priorityMap = new HashMap<>();
public Map<String, String> getPriority() {
return priorityMap;
}
}
Code:

I suggest the following implementation:
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix="request")
public class ConfigurationProps {
private List<Mapping> mapping;
public List<Mapping> getMapping() {
return mapping;
}
public void setMapping(List<Mapping> mapping) {
this.mapping = mapping;
}
}
Class Mapping will denote the information about the single mapping:
public class Mapping {
private String method;
private String url;
private String version;
public Mapping(String method, String url, String version) {
this.method = method;
this.url = url;
this.version = version;
}
public Mapping() {
}
// getters setters here
}
On the Configuration or spring boot application class (the one with main method):
#EnableConfigurationProperties(ConfigurationProps.class)
In the properties file put:
request.mapping[0].method=get
request.mapping[0].url=/customers
request.mapping[0].version=1
request.mapping[1].method=post
request.mapping[1].url=/students
request.mapping[1].version=2
In Filter (I assume you followed my suggestion from the linked question):
#Component
#Order(1)
public class LatestVersionFilter implements Filter {
private List<Mapping> mappings;
public LatestVersionFilter(ConfigurationProps props) {
this.mappings = props.getMapping();
}
}
