In spring-boot Class constructor get called first or bootstrap.yml?

I Have a spring-boot application. I wanted to pick some values from bootstrap.yml into the constructor of the class. Below is the code Snippet.

public class MapicsSCFFGeneratorServiceImpl implements MapicsSCFFGeneratorService {

    @Value("${azuresb.nameSpace}")
    private String nameSpace;

    @Value("${azuresb.sasPolicyKeyName}")
    private String sasPolicyKeyName;

    @Value("${azuresb.sasPolicyKey}")
    private String sasPolicyKey;

    @Value("${azuresb.serviceBusRootURI}")
    private String serviceBusRootURI;

    @Value("${azuresb.queueName}")
    private String queueName;

    public MapicsSCFFGeneratorServiceImpl() {

        config = ServiceBusConfiguration.configureWithSASAuthentication(nameSpace, sasPolicyKeyName, sasPolicyKey,
                serviceBusRootURI);

    }
}

My question is Which one get call first bootstrap.yml or constructor

Because If I am printing this values inside constructor I am getting Null on the other hand outsides the constructor the values are printing.

It makes sense that the constructor be invoked before the Spring processing that values the fields with Spring properties.
From a logical point of view, the constructor has to be invoked before Spring values instance fields.

As alternative, you could move the processing that uses the fields valued by Spring in a method annotated with javax.annotation.@PostConstruct.

From the specification :

The PostConstruct annotation is used on a method that needs to be executed after dependency injection is done to perform any initialization.

@PostConstruct
public void postProcess(){
   config = ServiceBusConfiguration.configureWithSASAuthentication(nameSpace, sasPolicyKeyName, sasPolicyKey,
                serviceBusRootURI);
}
