I have just asked the Spring Cloud
guys and thought I should share the info I have here.
bootstrap.yml
is loaded before application.yml
.
It is typically used for the following:
- when using Spring Cloud Config Server, you should specify
spring.application.name
andspring.cloud.config.server.git.uri
insidebootstrap.yml
- some
encryption/decryption
information
Technically, bootstrap.yml
is loaded by a parent Spring ApplicationContext
. That parent ApplicationContext
is loaded before the one that uses application.yml
.
