Embeded Spring Cloud Config Server

I know that embeded config server is an oxymoron. But this might help someone on bootstrapping an environment where modification of configuration properties during runtime is enabled

Points to note

1. @EnableConfigServer is avoided, as I built an embed config server and not a central config server
2. No profile is used. In case you want to use a profile, put following in bootstrap.properties spring.application.profiles=<your-active-profile(s)>
3. Point to a git repo. For convenience, you can create a local folder and 'git' it as follows

mkdir testgit
cd testgit 
git init
git add scheduledtask.properties
git commit -m "added properties"

4. Add following property into newly created file (scheduledtask.properties in testgit folder) scheduled.fixedratedelay=2500
5. Run application and curl curl http://localhost:8080/test will give test:2500
6. Now change scheduledtask.properties as follows scheduled.fixedratedelay=3000
7. Now curl curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/actuator/refresh will give ["scheduled.fixedratedelay"]
8. Curl API endpoint again curl http://localhost:8080/test will give test:3000
