Spring integration tests with profile

Question

Answer 1

If you want to avoid hard-coding the profile you may want to use the system property spring.profiles.active and set it to whatever you need in that particular environment e.g. we have "dev", "stage" and "prod" profiles for our different environments; also we have a "test", "test-local" and "test-server" profiles for our testing.

Remember that you can have more than one profile in that system property by using a list of comma-separated values e.g. "test,test-qa".

You can specify system properties in a maven project in the maven surefire plugin or passing them like this:

mvn -DargLine="-DpropertyName=propertyValue"
