Springboot not loading application.dev.properties file

Question

In my project I want to use environment specific property file. For example if I am running it into development it should use application.dev.properties, for production it shoul

Answer 1

A few issues I noticed:

1. @Value property name should be a String like @Value("${server.database.host}")
2. Profile specific property files should follow application-{profile}.properties format, e.g. application-dev.properties
3. Try passing the profile with -D like java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -jar app.jar
