Is it possible to parse a property from application.yml to the java class field with a different name?

Is it possible to parse a property from application.yml to the java class field with a different name?

Say I have the following application.yml file

service:
  cms:
    webClient: http://www.example.com

and my java class is 

@Getter
@Setter
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "service.cms")
public class CmsProperties {
  private String webClient;
}

I would like to rename java field name CmsProperties#webClient into CmsProperties#basePath, but I must keep the original name webClient in the application.yml.

Is it possible to do it?

P.S. I am using Spring Framework if it matters for the solution.

OfCourse It is possible.

Spring

When you read property from yml file, you just need to provide key while it stores in basePath

@Value("${webClient}")
private String basePath;

Plain Java

InputStream input = new FileInputStream("path/to/config.properties")) {
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(input);
String basePath = prop.getProperty("webClient")

Hope that does resolve answer
