Answer 1

Just to provide another option to this thread for reference as when I started to look for an answer for my requirement this came high on the search list, but did not cover my use case.

I was looking to programmatically set spring boot property at start up, but without the need to work with the different XML/Config files that spring supports.

The easiest way is to set the properties at the time the SpringApplication is defined. The basic example below sets the tomcat port to 9999.

@SpringBootApplication
public class Demo40Application{

    public static void main(String[] args){
        SpringApplication application = new SpringApplication(Demo40Application.class);

        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("server.port", 9999);
        application.setDefaultProperties(properties);

        application.run(args);
    }
}
