Could not bind properties

Question

I've updated Spring Boot from version 1.5.6 to 2.0.0 and a lot of problems have started. One is the problem given in the subject. I have a class with properties

@Data
@ConfigurationProperties("eclipseLink")
public class EclipseLinkProperties { ... }

which I use in configuration

@Configuration
@EnableConfigurationProperties(EclipseLinkProperties.class)
public class WebDatasourceConfig { ... }

during compilation, he throws me away

It means

Configuration property name 'eclipseLink' is not valid

Before the Spring Boot update everything worked.

Answer 1

eclipseLink isn't a valid prefix. As described in the documentation kebab-case should be used rather than camelCase. So your prefix should be eclipse-link rather than eclipseLink.

Answer 2

You can change:

@ConfigurationProperties("eclipseLink")

to:

@ConfigurationProperties("eclipselink")

You don't need to change properties file. This will avoid error. Spring will be able to find eclipseLink.* properties.

Answer 3

Camel case is not supported in Spring boot 2.0. It would throw InvalidConfigurationPropertyNameException: Configuration property name '********' is not valid.
