Spring Boot application.yml and application.properties

I was trying to understand if I have some properties in application.yml and a few in application.properties will my application read from both these files?

According to Spring documentation - Change the Location of External Properties of an Application:

No matter what you set in the environment, Spring Boot always loads application.properties as described above. By default, if YAML is used, then files with the ‘.yml’ extension are also added to the list.

In which order properties are considered is explained in the chapter Spring documentation - Externalized Configuration.

If in doubt what files have been loaded I recommend to set the log level to DEBUG which shows the loaded configuration files in the log.

There is a good article here, that describes how both of these can be read using the @ConfigurationProperties annotation.

@ConfigurationProperties supports both .properties and .yml files. @ConfigurationProperties support JSR-303 bean validation – javax.validation

Hope this helps!
