Spring MVC application.properties not override by profile file application-dev.properties

I was looking at a way to configure different application.properties file depending on a JVM environnement variable.

I found this documentation on Spring references.

In addition to application.properties files, profile-specific properties can also be defined using the naming convention application-{profile}.properties.

Profile specific properties are loaded from the same locations as standard application.properties, with profile-specific files always overriding the default ones irrespective of whether the profile-specific files are inside or outside your packaged jar.

Then I did that :

Configuration structure

And then added a -Dspring.profiles.active=dev to my JVM options.

Profile option for JVM

I tried to see that my params in dev are used but it isn't the case. Te application loads the data from the application.properties file.

Any idea why?

Try to modify the default properties file's name to 'application-default.properties', as it is said in the documentation:

The Environment has a set of default profiles (by default [default]) which are used if no active profiles are set (i.e. if no profiles are explicitly activated then properties from application-default.properties are loaded).
