This is how you can set properties during startup if you are running spring boot application.

The easiest way is to set the properties before you even started an app.

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication application = new SpringApplication(Application.class);
        ConfigurableEnvironment env = new ConfigurableEnvironment();
        env.setActiveProfiles("whatever");

        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.put("server.port", 9999);
        env.getPropertySources()
            .addFirst(new PropertiesPropertySource("initProps", properties));

        application.setEnvironment(env);
        application.run(args);
    }
}
