Yes it's possible. You will have to add spring boot but don't have to really use it (we had it working in a non-springboot app). Check this code here https://github.com/4finance/micro-infra-spring/tree/master/micro-infra-spring-config . You don't need a config server then to use the properties. I don't have a code snippet for that but you would have to create manually a spring boot context in your just to make this work. Also check this answer - Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot . Even if you will make it work it doesn't mean that the ordering will be proper.

The suggested solution then is to actually use Spring Boot :)

I provided an answer here : Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot that can help you. It's a working prototype to load property sources from Zookeeper using Spring Cloud Config Zookeeper in a webapplication without Spring Boot.
