Inject with Spring Boot depending on properties from application.yml

In one of our common libraries for our project I need to make an distinction between two implementations of an interface based on what Service is using it.

I inject this Interface via constructor injection and need to find out how I can make sure what implementation is used based on the value of a property in our application.yml.

I looked into the @Qualifier annotation but that does seem to need an attribute in an xml schema. We don't have such a thing.

In one part of our code we read out the properties for our KafkaListener this way 

@KafkaListener(topics = "#{PathToProperties.getPrefix()}#OurBusinessProperties.getRelevantProperties()}"

Can I use the same syntax in Spring?

You can use profiles to do this.

Let's say you have two profiles: production and test.

Then you can annotate an implementation that you want to use in production like this:

@Profile("production")
@Component
class ProductionImplementation implements MyService {
}

And on another component set a different profile:

@Profile("test")
@Component
class TestImplementation implements MyService {
}

and then start your spring-boot application with the following argument:

-Dspring.profiles.active=production

Alternatively you can select a profile using an environment variable:

SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE = production

One more option is to create a factory that will create a different instance depending on some environmental configuration:

@Bean
public MyService myService() {
  if (condition) return FirstImplementation();
  return SecondImplementation();
}
