Azure loads startup details into the System.getenv() properties. I would like them to show up in the Environment variable from Spring.
How can I accomplish this?
As a side note, is there a way to add a system variable at startup (for testing?)

I am trying to understand your question. Are your properties in system environment variables? – Indraneel Bende Jan 25 '18 at 20:23

2They should show up in environment. If not , then they are not getting added. – Indraneel Bende Jan 25 '18 at 20:24

Maybe due to security it’s not allowing azure to add properties to environment – Indraneel Bende Jan 25 '18 at 20:28

Are you saying that they should automatically get loaded? – markthegrea Jan 25 '18 at 21:41

No I am not saying that, but if you believe you have added commands( to add it into environment) it should. – Indraneel Bende Jan 26 '18 at 00:46

Let me tell you the different possibilities- 1. Either ur commands are wrong . So it is not getting added to environment. 2. Your command is right but you are adding it as a system property not a system environment variable(read up about it). 3.there is security issue. Which is blocking azure to add the environment variables. – Indraneel Bende Jan 26 '18 at 00:47

you can add all your properties to application.properties in Spring Boot. otherwise, you can add a Bean in your spring boot application class that reads from the system properties & loads them.

I understand how I CAN add properties. I need to add System.getenv() properties. How do I add the bean? – markthegrea Jan 25 '18 at 19:21

if you weren't in a spring boot situation, you would possibly add a separate config class and annotate it with \@configuration. in your class annotated with \@SpringBootApplication you can also do the whole \@Bean annotation & do what you need to do there. – Jan 25 '18 at 19:57

That is a great idea. Why would spring boot be a bottleneck? Do you have some code? I saw some yesterday here but the author deleted it! – markthegrea Jan 26 '18 at 18:04

i'm not saying it's a bottleneck at all. in spring boot by declaring a class a \@SpringBootApplication that means you can put \@Bean definitions in there. Otherwise, you'd have to do a separate class annotated with \@Configuration and do your bean definitions there. It's just a matter of how/where you declare your beans. You could also do a separate \@Configuration class with Spring Boot but that would be silly extra work as like I typed, you can do it straight up in the class annotated w\ \@SpringBootApplication – Jan 27 '18 at 07:06

The actual answer to this question is "nothing". Spring boot automatically loads all the System.getenv() into the Environment variable at startup.
See: Spring Boot docs
And yes, I am a bit embarrassed.
