Using ConfigurationProperties to fill Map in generic way

Question

I\'m wondering, if there is a generic way to fill a map with properties you just know the prefix.

Assuming there are a bunch of properties like

names         


        

Answer 1

In addition to this, my problem was that I didn't had multiple simple key/value properties but whole objects:

zuul:
  routes:
    query1:
      path: /api/apps/test1/query/**
      stripPrefix: false
      url: "https://test.url.com/query1"
    query2:
       path: /api/apps/test2/query/**
       stripPrefix: false
       url: "https://test.url.com/query2"
    index1:
       path: /api/apps/*/index/**
       stripPrefix: false
       url: "https://test.url.com/index"

Following Jake's advice I tried to use a Map with a Pojo like this:

@ConfigurationProperties("zuul")
public class RouteConfig {
    private Map routes = new HashMap<>();

    public Map getRoutes() {
        return routes;
    }

    public static class Route {
        private String path;
        private boolean stripPrefix;
        String url;

        // [getters + setters]
    }
}

Works like a charm, Thanks!
