VMware vRealize Automation 8.x (2022) — Question 40

Spring Boot will find and load property files in which of the following? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. A *.properties file matching the name of the class annotated with @SpringBootApplication.
• B. config.properties or config.yml, usually located in the classpath root.
• C. application.properties or application.yml, usually located in the classpath root.
• D. env.properties or env.yml, usually located in the classpath root.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as Spring Boot specifically looks for application.properties or application.yml files in the classpath for configuration settings. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because while they mention valid filenames, they do not represent the standard naming convention that Spring Boot prioritizes for loading properties.
