You can pass in individual properties as command-line arguments. For example, if you wanted to set server.port
, you could do the following when launching an executable jar:
java -jar your-app.jar --server.port=8081
Alternatively, if you’re using mvn spring-boot:run
with Spring boot 2.x:
mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.arguments="--server.port=8081"
Or, if you’re using Spring Boot 1.x:
mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.arguments="--server.port=8081"
You can also configure the arguments for spring-boot:run
in your application’s pom.xml
so they don’t have to be specified on the command line every time:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<arguments>
<argument>--server.port=8085</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
