Setting the default active profile in Spring-boot

Question

I want my default active profile to be production if -Dspring.profiles.active is not set.

I tried the following in my application.pro

Answer 1

We to faced similar issue while setting spring.profiles.active in java.

This is what we figured out in the end, after trying four different ways of providing spring.profiles.active.

In java-8

$ java --spring.profiles.active=dev -jar my-service.jar
Gives unrecognized --spring.profiles.active option.

$ java -jar my-service.jar --spring.profiles.active=dev
# This works fine

$ java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -jar my-service.jar
# This works fine

$ java -jar my-service.jar -Dspring.profiles.active=dev
# This doesn't works

In java-11

$ java --spring.profiles.active=dev -jar my-service.jar
Gives unrecognized --spring.profiles.active option.

$ java -jar my-service.jar --spring.profiles.active=dev
# This doesn't works

$ java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -jar my-service.jar
# This works fine

$ java -jar my-service.jar -Dspring.profiles.active=dev
# This doesn't works

NOTE: If you're specifying spring.profiles.active in your application.properties file then make sure you provide spring.config.location or spring.config.additional-location option to java accordingly as mentioned above.
