jasypt with spring boot

Question

I am using jasypt-spring-boot-starter:1.14 along with spring-boot-2.0.0.M2

It works perfectly fine if the application.properties is available in the classpath ( src/main/resources )

Spring boot will work even if the application.properties is placed in the folder from where the spring boot jar is run ( by default it looks for application.properties in the current folder)

If I move the application.properties out of src/main/resources and place it in the root folder , the application fails to start with the below error

nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [application.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

I was able to run other spring boot jars by placing the application.properties in the folder from where spring boot is run. But after integrating with jasypt , it is not working

Kindly revert if any body has faced such issue

You can check out spring boot jasypt implmentation : https://github.com/ulisesbocchio/jasypt-spring-boot-samples/tree/master/jasypt-spring-boot-demo — Yogi, Nov 07 '17 at 16:27
In the example shared , the application.properties is placed in src/main/resources folder. That works fine. When I move it out to the folder from where the boot jar is run , that's when it fails. — lives, Nov 08 '17 at 05:04

You have to resolve the config path manually. Sample implementation below where myapp.home is an application argument (or VM option -> -Dmyapp.home=c:\my_app)

@Configuration
public class Config {
    ...

    @Bean
    private static PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer getCustomPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer() {
        String appPropertyFile = "application.properties";
        String myAppHome = System.getProperty("myapp.home") + + File.separatorChar + "conf";;
        PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer ppc = new PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer();
        final Resource extResource = new FileSystemResource( new File( myAppHome, appPropertyFile) );
        ppc.setLocations( new Resource[] { extResource } );
        ppc.setIgnoreUnresolvablePlaceholders( true );
        return ppc;
    }

    ...
}
