How to get OS environment variable from Spring Boot?

Question

I am novice to java and spring framework. My questions is how to inject OS(ubuntu) environment variable to spring boot bean. What I tried:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class CorsConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
 @Value("${COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS}")
 private String COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS;

 @Override
 public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
  registry.addMapping("/"+COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS);
 }
}

export COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS=**

printenv

says me that its present, but when I try to mvn clean install: error occured

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error 
creating bean with name 'corsConfig': Injection of autowired dependencies 
failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not 
resolve placeholder 'COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS' in value "${COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS}"
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 
'COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS' in value "${COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS}"

and then my unit test also droped (I am trying to search this error, but all topics is old and uses params from application.properties, but I need to use env var not application.properties)

You can use System.getenv(<environment name>) method to retrieve an environment variable value. Like:

registry.addMapping("/" + System.getenv("COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS"));

or with default value:

registry.addMapping("/" + System.getenv().getOrDefault("COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS", "DEFAULT_VALUE"))

More information here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/env.html

If you really want to inject variable value you can modify your code to something like:

@Value("#{systemEnvironment['COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS'] ?: 'DEFAULT_VALUE'}")
private String COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS;

I know about System.getenv(), but it work when app is compiled, but I need to receive params when I run application, or @value also precompiled?

Bohdan Levchenko Over a year ago

Both System.getenv() and SPEL expression within @Value will be executed at runtime, not compile time, so both options should work for you.

And I can use default value like :

For default value you can use argumentless System.getenv() call which gives you a Map<String, String>. Then call getOrDefault(key, defaultValue) method (java 1.8+). And for SPEL option just use elvis operator: ?:. I have adjusted my answer to show this.

You should use System.getenv(), for example:

import java.util.Map;

public class EnvMap {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Map<String, String> env = System.getenv();
        for (String envName : env.keySet()) {
            System.out.format("%s=%s%n",
                              envName,
                              env.get(envName));
        }
    }
}

Please refer to This documentation and this question.

@Configuration

 @Value("#{systemEnvironment['COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS']?:'**'}")
 private String COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS;

 @Override
 public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
  registry.addMapping("/"+COMPONENT_PARAM_CORS);
 }
}
