Using Configurations from Configuration Management Services

You can use configurations from the configuration management services such as Consul by defining a token such as #<property name># in the application properties, where <property name> is the name of the configuration parameter.

For example, #BACKEND_URL#.

Follow these steps to use configurations from Consul:
  1. Set the environment variable CONSUL_SERVER_URL. See Environment Variables
  2. In your Consul service define the keys using the format <BWCE_APP_NAME>/<PROFILE NAME>/<KEY Name>.

    For example, AccountService/Dev/BACKEND_URL

    AccountService/Prod/BACKEND_URL
