What is purpose of @ConditionalOnProperty annotation?

Question

I just modified spring boot configuration, and encountered

@ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = \"spring.social.\", value = \"auto-connection-views\") 
         


        

Answer 1

In case you are using this property on TYPE-level, i.e. on one of your @Configuration classes... Keep in mind that in such case the annotation is evaluated/checked against the default properties file, i.e. application.properties

@ConditionalOnProperty on TYPE level w/ @Configuration
