ConfigurationProperties Not Working in Spring Boot2 - spring-boot

Question

Spring Boot Version 2.1.4 RELEASE
I have client jar with a Settings Bean defined as
#ConditionalOnBean(annotation = Some.class)
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "service")
#Data
public class WebserviceSettings {
//bunch of Properties
private String serviceUrl;
#PostConstruct
public void init() { if(serviceUrl==null) throw ValidationException("bla") }
}
Another Config Class
#ConditionalOnBean(annotation = Some.class)
#EnableConfigurationProperties(WebserviceSettings.class)
#Configuration
public class ClientConfig{
#Bean("webserviceSettings")
public WebserviceSettings webserviceSettings(){
return new WebserviceSettings();
}
}
Client jar is added to spring boot rest service.
The JUNIT Test written for the Client jar works fine and loads up the Bean without any validation Exception coming out of the PostConstruct Method.
Test Class written within the client works!
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(classes = { ClientTestBootApplication.class })
#TestPropertySource(properties="spring.config.location=classpath:application-test.yaml")
However, when I am loading the Spring Boot Service - it fails to load the Settings bean with ValidationException thrown from PostConstruct Method.
application.yml
service:
url: "bla"
It means that when the client is added to services project, it's not loading the property from yaml. How to solve this?

Answer 1

Since you already mentioned the service as a prefix in the following annotation on the class WebserviceSettings.java.
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "service"),
then no need to add service as a prefix in the variable (private String serviceUrl;).
To correct it: Change private String serviceUrl; to private String url;

Answer 2

in your application.yml, you have :
service:
url: greetings
Your config class must look like :
#ConditionalOnBean(annotation = Some.class)
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "service")
#Data
public class WebserviceSettings {
//bunch of Properties
private String url; // do not need to use service because you've already specified it in the prefix
#PostConstruct
public void init() { if(serviceUrl==null) throw ValidationException("bla") }
}
