I am trying to bind the values in my application.properties file in my Springboot application to my external config class.

I am using the @Value annotation to mark the variable I want passed in from application.properties file and my application.properties file looks like this

server.port=9000
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
app.developerName = "f21ad267-e241-4ed0-8943-721fa90bcf3a"

Any help would be appreciated as I haven't got very far with the springboot documentation and I am unsure of what I am doing wrong

Don’t post screenshots of your code please! – Toerktumlare Jan 08 '20 at 13:38
`@Value` will be available **after** object construction. You are accesssing it inside the constructor, which won't work because the value is only available afterwards. – M. Deinum Jan 08 '20 at 13:39
I try calling the get value method elsewhere in my code but still returned null – Edward Muldrew Jan 08 '20 at 13:46
Might be because developerName is static – Eamon Scullion Jan 08 '20 at 14:00
you sure application.properties is in your classpath ? – AchillesVan Jan 08 '20 at 14:06
@georgesvan where do I declare my class path? This is something I am unsure of – Edward Muldrew Jan 08 '20 at 14:07
the application.properties should be right under src/main/resource. Apparently yours is under the com package. – AchillesVan Jan 08 '20 at 14:09
@georgesvan I wasn't where to put it so I placed two application.properties files in two folders – Edward Muldrew Jan 08 '20 at 14:12
