External properties file in grails 3

Question

Answer 1

When running from a .jar file, I found that Spring Boot looks at the current directory for an application.yml file.

java -jar app-0.3.jar

In the current directory, I created an application.yml file with one line:

org.xyz.app.title: 'XYZZY'

I also used this file to specify the database and other such info.
