Sometimes we have to configure property files from outside of classpath so that anyone can access this file without looking into application. Spring boot provides many ways to configure this but most of them are used only if we read the property file from classpath if we are going to read from file system then it will not accessible and will get some error so now we are going to see how to overcome from this problem.
Spring-Boot Default Search for Property File Is
- /config subdirectory of the current directory
- The current directory
- A classpath /config package
- The classpath root
This is the standard order.
