I want to reuse a Spring property in application.properties.

For example I have the following application.properties:

spring.data.mongodb.database=my_database
org.jobrunr.database.databaseName=my_database

How can I reuse the value (my_database) of the property (spring.data.mongodb.database) for the other property (org.jobrunr.database.databaseName) , so I only have to specify the database name at one place.

application.properties spring spring-boot java

Such as M.Deinum said :

my.database.name=my_database

spring.data.mongodb.database=${my.database.name}
org.jobrunr.database.databaseName=${my.database.name}

You can now use the property ${my.database.name} wherever you need the value my_database.

Let us know how it goes! :)
