Spring boot tomcat external properties file

I have a spring boot war file deployed in tomcat. I cannot use the properties file of external applications. I use the following to specify the path to the external properties files

X:\apache-tomcat-7.0.54\bin>startup.bat --Dspring.config.location=X:\conf\application.properties

I also tried it with qoutes

X:\apache-tomcat-7.0.54\bin>startup.bat "--Dspring.config.location=X:\conf\application.properties"

These properties do not work and spring reads the properties file that is contained in the war file. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks to
