If you want to use difference application.properties in difference path, use this command to start the jar file

nohup java -jar project.jar --spring.config.location=file://{file-path}/application.properties

environment variable SPRING_CONFIG_LOCATION can be also used.

@PropertySource annotation is used to provide properties file into the environment and it is used with @Configuration classes.

@PropertySource({ "classpath:config.properties" })
