Add additional parameters to Spring Boot app

init.d, maven, service, spring, spring-boot

Solution

I couldn't find any solution including the one I described in question - it seems that plugin's additional params also don't work.

At the end I solved it by using systemd service approach.

Looks like that and works perfectly:

[Unit]
Description=Some app
After=syslog.target

[Service]
ExecStart=java -Dspring.profiles.active=production -jar /home/apps/monitoring-app-1.0.0.jar

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Problem

I am wondering if it's possible to add spring's additional parameters such as `-Dspring.profiles.active=prod` to spring boot app in case of running it as a service. I checked the script that was generated automatically by `spring-boot-maven-plugin`: `command="$javaexe -jar -Dsun.misc.URLClassPath.disableJarChecking=true $jarfile $@"` so maybe it can be done via maven plugin's options, but couldn't find any except of JVM arguments which is not so useful...
