IBM Liberty where to place properties file required by multiple applications

Question

-Multiple spring boot apps are deployed to IBM liberty 20x All the Spring boot app should access properties from multiple properties file. Acording to the reference https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.doc/ae/cwlp_sharedlibrary.html

tried below configuration in server.xml by creating folder "customProps" at "wlp\usr\servers\controller1"

<library id="allpropeties">
<fileset dir="${server.config.dir}/customProps" includes="*.properties" />
</library>

But gets the below error as applicaiton not able to locate the properties file: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [test.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Where to keep multiple common properties files and what configuration has to be added to server.xml

Answer 1

As a simple answer you could try copying the properties file to the default global shared library location:

${server.config.dir}/lib/global

You could use this without additional server config, and/or read through some of the doc for additional configuration considerations.
