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

I had this situation before, I noticed that the properties file was not copied to the jar.

I made the following to get it working:

1. In the resources folder, I have created a unique package, then stored my application.properties file inside it. e.g: com/company/project

2. In the configuration file e.g: TMDBConfig.java I have referenced the full path of my .properties file:

   @Configuration
   @PropertySource("classpath:/com/company/project/application.properties")
   public class AwsConfig
   

Build and run, it will work like magic.
