Spring-Boot multi module project load property-file

Question

I have a Spring-Boot-Application as a multimodule-Project in maven. The structure is as follows:

Parent-Project
|--MainApplication
|--Module1
|--ModuleN
<         


        

Answer 1

You could autowire and use the Enviornment bean to read the property

@Configuration
@PropertySource(value = "classpath:tmdb.properties")
public class TMDbConfig {

  @Autowired
  private Environment env;

  public String getApiKey() {
    return env.getRequiredProperty("moviedb.tmdb.api-key");
  }

}

This should guarantee that property is read from the context when you invoke the getApiKey() method regardless of when the @Value expression is resolved by PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer.
