Your folder structure contains a typo: src/main/resources/env/cconfig has to be src/main/resources/env/config

As defined in the Spring Externalized Configuration, SpringApplication loads properties from application.properties files in the following locations and adds them to the Spring Environment:

A /config subdirectory of the current directory
The current directory
A classpath /config package
The classpath root

Apart from "cconfig" folder name (not sure if that was a typo) I also see your @ImportResource is mentioned as classpath:process-flows.xml however your resources folder has file named process-flow.xml

If that was not a typo as well, please add an 's' by renaming process-flow.xml to process-flows.xml and retry
