System properties can be used to force a different config source:

  • config.resource specifies a resource name - not a basename, i.e. application.conf not application
  • config.file specifies a filesystem path, again it should include the extension, not be a basename
  • config.url specifies a URL

Loading configuration with -Dconfig.file is the way to specify an external file to load,

-Dconfig.resource - for internal resources.
