java - How to define complex list for application yml in spring boot? -

suppose have application.yml defined:

spring:     profiles.active: development --- spring:     profiles: development logging:     level:         org.springframework.web: debug         org.hibernate: error storage:     remotestorage:         name: "server 1"         user: "test"         passwd: "test"         host: "163.218.233.106"      localstorage:         name: "server 2"         user: "test2"         passwd: "test2"         host: "10.10.0.133" --- 

the storage custom properties want load this:

@value("${storage}") private list<storage> availablestorage = new arraylist<>(); 

apologies beginner spring framework. trying have restcontroller read respective config based on parameters provided requests, i.e. requests ?storage=remotestorage use remotestorage config.

@value annotation not load list or map type of properties. have define class @configurationproperties annotation below.

import java.util.list; import java.util.map; import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.configurationproperties; import org.springframework.context.annotation.configuration;  @configuration @configurationproperties(prefix ="storage") public class myprops {  private list<string> listprop; private map<string, string> mapprop;  public list<string> getlistprop() {     return listprop; } public void setlistprop(list<string> listprop) {     this.listprop = listprop; } public map<string, string> getmapprop() {     return mapprop; } public void setmapprop(map<string, string> mapprop) {     this.mapprop = mapprop;    } } 

and below application.yaml file above property configuration class.

storage: listprop:     - listvalue1     - listvalue2 mapprop:     key1: mapvalue1     key2: mapvalue2 

if using application.properties file instead of .yaml file

storage.listprop[0]=listvalue1 storage.listprop[1]=listvalue2 storage.mapprop.key1=mapvalue1 storage.mapprop.key2=mapvalue2
