  • Which environment is you application running? Usually you have environments like local, staging, prod. In which file is your properties and which environment are you running may give you the answer – Jorge Campos Feb 09 '23 at 18:08
  • Just to be clear is not working at runtime or is it something else? – Jorge Campos Feb 09 '23 at 18:09
  • You can't get a property from the `Environment` that is for OS environment variables. What you can do, is to define your property to come from the OS `Environment` like `stackoverflow.questiontitle=${OS_ENV_QUESTION_TITLE}` and make sure it exists on that environment. – Jorge Campos Feb 09 '23 at 18:42
  • Thanks Jorge all i want to do is get programmatically a entry from file application.properties any different that @Value is that possible? – chiperortiz Feb 09 '23 at 18:52

    Short answer, yes you can. Though if you are using a spring application I would not recommend it. It was designed this way so the framework can get you the values you need from the correct resources. Now if you still need to get that property you can always read the property file directly and then get it using load resources here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8285636/460557 – Jorge Campos Feb 09 '23 at 19:00
  • You can also try injecting the Environment bean using @Autowired and then try reading the property. – Shivam... Feb 09 '23 at 19:04

This should work...

import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;

@Component
class WithEnvironment {

    WithEnvironment(Environment environment) {
        System.out.println(environment.getProperty("stackoverflow.questiontitle"));
    }
}

To see the value in IntelliJ IDEA in debug mode you can use:

  • ((ApplicationEnvironment)environment).getProperty("stackoverflow.questiontitle")

  • add a New Class Level Watch... on environment with getProperty("stackoverflow.questiontitle")
