Spring property binding with multiple separation-CodePudding

I have an application.property like this:

somevalue.api.test=something
somevalue.anotherproperty=stuff

I have made a configuration bean like this:

@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties("somevalue")
public class SomeProperties {

    @NotNull
    private String apiTest;
    @NotNull
    private String anotherproperty;
}

Is it possible to refer to api.test like apiTest?

Mainly my issue is that I want to use the somevalue starting point for both property. I know if I don't separate with a dot the apiTest and I use it in this way somevalue.api-test I can refer to that with apiTest in my bean, but in my case it's not possible the renaming. So with dot separation can I achieve the same result or I should create two separate config bean, one refering to somevalue.api and the another only to somevalue?

CodePudding user response：

If you can't rename the property then no, you can't reference it using String apiTest. You need an additional class as follows:

@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties("somevalue")
public class GcssProperties {
    @NotNull
    private GcssApiProperties api;
    
    @NotNull
    private String anotherproperty;
}

public class GcssApiProperties {
    @NotNull
    private String test;
}

This should work.
