I'm building a framework which can be used with/without Spring. So, I can't use the @PropertySource annotation.

How can I know exactly the application.properties path considering all possible variation. eg the user have changed the default path using --spring.config.location

Is there any Spring runtime variable which I can get this path?

  • Use environment variables instead of properties to set your configuration values. Commented Jun 26, 2018 at 17:42
  • You could also provide a own spring-boot-starter for your framework which then provides the configuration via spring-configuration-properties and also wraps your framework perfectly for usage in a springboot app Commented Jun 26, 2018 at 18:10

just inject the Environment

@Autowired
private Environment environment;

it cointans a propertySourceList, which contains all property sources :)

oh, damn, you mean no spring at all? :D
If I understand my spring, the @Autowired will fail with no spring environment, and then you can grab params from the system properties. I would wrap the class's property util and put the Environment var inside it, then optionally get other params when it's null.
