I'd like to use two different spring profiles proda and prodb using Spring Boot 2.0.0 (setting the profile in the application.properties).
In Spring Boot, you can also set the active profile in application.properties, as shown in the following example:
spring.profiles.active=production
For now I'm only trying to get proda to work. I've got three different property files:
application-proda.yml
database:
conn:
blablabla: blablaqwer
and
application-prodb.yml
database:
conn:
blablabla: albalbrewq
and also
application.properties
spring.profiles.active=proda
When running the application in the IDE, or packaging it as jar with maven, everything works as expected (active profiles [proda] are set, application-proda.yml is loaded). Calling this in (for example a @PostConstruct of) some class:
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(env.getActiveProfiles()));
will result in
[proda]
but when buildung as war with maven, and deploying it to a Tomcat server, the same code will result in
[]
and application-proda.yml is not loaded. That means the application didn't read the application.properties and therefore didn't load the active profile proda for some reason.
But the finished war has all the needed files under WEB-INF\classes\.
I've seen some solutions where you can set -Dspring.profiles.active=proda as a command line parameter, or set the active profiles in the web.xml, but this is not what I need, as I don't have a web.xml and I'd like to use the Spring Boot feature and declare the profiles in the application.properties. It should work just like in the IDE or packaged as a jar with maven.
