Spring boot properties file override from command line

Question

I am having problem with Spring Boot and fat jar invocation from command line.I am trying to overide property from command line but without success.
I have parameter in the code:

@Value("${param1}")
private String param1;

and also I have put application.properties file inside src\\main\\resources with following content;

param1=Param 1 value from properties file

When I build jar and run with:

java -jar java-apns-notifier-0.1.0.jar --param1=Aaaaaaaaa

param1 is printed with value from application.properties file and not takes into account value from command line.
Project source code is here

Any idea?

You forgot to pass the arguments in your Application class. You just need to change

SpringApplication.run(Application.class);

to

SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
