Spring-boot application - External properties not loaded when jar execute with su -

Question

I have an application in spring-boot 2.2.4

When I launch the application like this :

java -jar ../batch-pj-clean-nas/target/batch-pj-clean-nas-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -Dconfig.location=application.properties

Everything is ok.

When I try like that :

su - sbert -c "java -jar /home/sbert/workspace/pj/batch-pj-clean-nas/target/batch-pj-clean-nas-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -Dconfig.location=application.properties"

the properties is not loaded

Could not resolve placeholder 'nas.base.directory' in value "${nas.base.directory}"

I try with OS ubuntu, RH8 and spring-boot 2.2.4 or 2.1.3 and replace -Dconfig.location by --spring.config.location

Answer 1

如果要从 Jar 外部加载它，请提供 application.properties 文件的完整路径

Answer 2

I finally found the reason : I have to use :

su sbert -c

instead of

su - sbert -c
