5.5.2. Limitations of Property Value Substitution

Note the following limitations when you use property value substitution:

  • You cannot reference complex objects or properties with syntaxes other than String. Property values are resolved from the boot.properties file or from the System properties and the value of these properties is always in String format.

    Property substitution of boolean values is currently only supported in stringified format, that is, resulting in "true" or "false".

  • Substitution of encrypted property values is currently not supported.
