How to access Spring Boot`s build properties as normal Spring properties?

I would like to use the build properties in /META-INF/build-info.properties as normal Spring properties, so that I am able to use them in via spring-property in my Logback configuration logback-spring.xml.

I was already able to use them, but something changed...

The properties file /META-INF/build-info.properties is there.
I am able get the bean BuildProperties as bean with the correct values.
The build properties are not registred in the application context as property sources?

Does someone knows, how to use the build properties like normal Spring properties in my logback-spring.xml?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<configuration>

  <springProperty scope="context" name="application" source="build.name"/>
  <springProperty scope="context" name="version" source="build.version"/>

Solution

In your Spring Boot application, make sure that the build-info.properties file is being loaded as a property source. This can be done by adding the following entry to your application.properties

spring.config.name=application,build-info
spring.config.location=classpath:/,classpath:/META-INF/

Once the build properties are loaded as normal Spring properties, you can use them in your logback-spring.xml configuration file by referencing them using the ${propertyKey} syntax.

like example-:

<configuration>
   <property resource="META-INF/build-info.properties" />

   <appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
       <!-- Use the build property in the appender configuration -->
       <encoder pattern="${build.version} - %msg%n" />
   </appender>

   <root level="INFO">
       <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
   </root>
</configuration>

In this example, the ${build.version} property is accessed from the build-info.properties file and used within the configuration.
