Read property values in Spring Boot

Question

How can I read the properties in a property file inside a Spring boot application?

In a normal Spring application we can do this by adding this in context:

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath*:my.properties"/>

Then refer the property using:

@Value("${my.property.name}")
Private String name;

Just use @SpringBootApplication and your @Value will pick value from application.properties or yml from resource folder.
