title: Spring Boot - set location of application.properties in war file
body: <p>I'm trying to build a war file that knows to look in a specific path for a spring boot application.properties. For example, when running in a linux environment, </p>
  
  <p>I'd like my maven build to some how build that app so that it knows to look at the following location:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/projects/application.properties
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To be clear, I want to avoid setting system or command line properties. I want to wire into spring the location of the file and have application server and os be unaware of how spring does that.  Is this possible?</p>
