I have two spring boot projects, Project A and Project B, each with its own application.properties.

When the project is run individually the values from application.properties are injected properly. But when I am using one of the Project B as a dependency in Project A, the default values defined in application.properties of B are not being injected and I have to define the same properties again in the .properties file of A which is kind of redundant.

How do I avoid this? I want the default values in the properties file of B to be injected and I would only want to define the properties for B when I want to override the default values. Sorry for my english

AFAIK, there is no out-of-box solution for this. I would recommend two solutions and you can go with one more feasible for you:

  1. Take out all properties common for all projects and put them in a seperate properties file, use them with @PropertySource.

  2. Use spring cloud config to store common(or all) properties. You can also have some custom logic there to pick the correct property among multiple property files.

It's hard to say without your code provided. I guess you can try to use multiple .properties files for Project A application like following:

@PropertySources({
        @PropertySource(name = "propsA", value = "classpath:propsA.properties"),
        @PropertySource(name = "propsB", value = "classpath:propsB.properties")
})
public class ApplicationA {
