run classpath in external folder war file command Spring java

I have a war package and wanted to include an external classpath:

in my controller:

I have this following code:

WebApplication class:

@SpringBootApplication
@PropertySource( "classpath:config.properties" )
public class WebApplication{

   public static void main(String[] args){
        SpringApplication.run(WebApplication.class, args);
   }
}

Controller Class:

@Controller
@PropertySource( "classpath:config.properties" )
public class ApplicationController{

     //doing some stuff here

}

my folder:

|-project

|-src
   |-main
     |-java
       |-com.mypage.temp
         |-WebApplication.java (main class)
       |-com.mypage.temp.controller
         |-ApplicationController (Controller)
     |-resources
       |- [some stuff & not putting my properties file here to include externally]
     |-deploy
       |-config.properties

However when I build

project.war

I put in a remote server (unix):

|project

  |-bin
    |-project.war
  |-config
    |-config.properties

Something/something/something/bin/project.war Something/something/something/config/config.properties

run command:

java -jar -Dclasspath=/something/something/something/config/config.properties project.war

Error:

 Failed to parse configuration class [com.mypage.temp.WebApplication];
 nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource
 [config.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

From the official documentation, Spring Boot relies on the spring.config.location Spring Boot property to specify the location of the environment properties file.
You may provide it in the command line.

You can also refer to an explicit location using the spring.config.location environment property (comma-separated list of directory locations, or file paths).

$ java -jar myproject.jar --spring.config.name=myproject or

$ java -jar myproject.jar --spring.config.location=classpath:/default.properties,classpath:/override.properties

So, try that :

java -jar project.war --spring.config.location=classpath:/something/something/something/config/config.properties
