spring boot: create multiple context for the same application-context.xml

Question

I need to create multiple context for the same application context.xml file and each context use its own application.properties.

How to do it using spring boot ?

I have 3 clients who have the same behaviour but each one with specific details declared into client-application.properties.

So i use also spring integration and the flow will be reused for each client . I need to launch 3 clients in the same time and each one with its own application.properties. And i use xml for that.

Take a look at spring profiles. How do you want to manage your contexts - as xml or as java classes? — stackh34p

Just start the application 3 times. Specifying an additional config file for each. Don't try to hack around, work with the framework. — M. Deinum

is it a safe solution if i start the application 3 times (i speak about performance)? because the application belongs to a group and they require to have a common application launched on the same machine for all affiliates, each affiliate has its own configuration but they have the same behaviour. — NAZEHA

Take a look at this... I have a single project, and inside of it are three application.properties (or the number you need)

in application.properties, i specify general parameters

and in each application-.properties i specify specific environment properties, e.g., the port in production:

And the port for my dev profile:

In order to use them check the documentation that Ivaylo recommended

...A small example:

In this case, the application will boot on the port showed in the different .properties files.

You can specify the profile like: mvn spring:boot run -Dspring.profiles.active=dev
