Reading values from application.properties Spring Boot

Question

My Spring boot app has this application structure:

• src
  • main
    • java
    • resources
      • application.properties
    <

Answer 1

It can be achieved in multiple ways, refer below.

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class EntityManager {

    @Value("${language}")
    private static String newLang;

    @Bean
    public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertyConfigInDev() {
        return new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer();
    }

}

OR

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class EntityManager {

    @Autowired
    private Environment env;

    public void readProperty() {
        env.getProperty("language");
    }

}
