spring-profiles

Spring files can be used to restrict creation of beans to specific environments. In this example a ConcurrentMapCacheManager is used for the development environment, whereas EhCacheCacheManage is used for the production environment.

Setting Active Profile

The active profile can be set by passing the spring.profiles.active value as a JVM system property when starting the application:

-Dspring.profiles.active=dev

Alternatively, the profile can be set in application.properties:

spring.profiles.active=prod

Default Profile

To make a profile the default profile, we add "default" to the profile:

 @Profile("prod", "default")

The default profile is used if no spring.profiles.active is set.
