spring - How to pass JVM arguments in SpringBOOT

Question

I would like to pass JVM arguments in the main spring boot class where we will be starting the spring boot application.

Could you please share how to set JVM arguments in spring boot application?

I tried the below options and there is no luck

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "X.X.X.X");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");

or you can use this for spring boot

bootRun {
    systemProperties "property1": "value1", "property2": "value2"
}

Answer 1

Add JVM arguments with -DargumentName i.e.

-DargumentName="value1"

Then in your spring application, you can retrieve the value by doing:

@Value("${argumentName}")
private String myVariable

Hope this helps!
