I've a scenario to solve, where I need to maintain some key-value pairs in the code. The key names are to be read from properties file. Which I'm going to do like this in spring boot.

    @Data
    @ConfigurationProperties( prefix = "project.keysList" )
    public class KeyNames {
    private String key1Name;
    private String key2Name;
    ...
    }

I'll get the corresponding values during the run-time. How can I store the values elegantly ? These are the options I'm considering.

1. Define one more model object called KeyValues and store them.
2. Define a hashmap called KeyValues and store the keyNames and corresponding values.

Is there a better way other than these two, where I don't need to define a new object for storing the values, which I get during the run time.?

Appreciate any help in this.. Pls ask for clarifications in case my qn is not too clear.

Define your key and value in resources folder of application.properties file and define @Value annotation in the above your Configuration class of field name.

For example:

application.properties file

key1.name=valuename
key2.name=valuename

============================

@ConfigurationProperties( prefix = "project.keysList" )
public class KeyNames {

@Value("${key1.name}")
private String key1Name;

@Value("${key2.name}")
private String key2Name;
}

@Data @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "custom")

public class CustomProperties {

private Long id;

private String name;

private String phone;

}
