Disable Spring Cloud Server Configuration using Profile?

I want to achieve the following:

• when in 'dev' mode, inject Spring Cloud Config into the current web folder
• if not in "dev" mode, connect to the Spring Cloud Config server instance that is already running

So mypathpath for the current webapp contains dependencies for the config server and client:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
</dependency> 

      

        
        
        
      

    

In dev mode and with the following properties in bootstrap.yml, that's ok (the built-in config server is up and running)

spring:
  application:
    name: app1
  profiles:
    active: dev
  cloud:
    config:
      uri: ${SPRING_CONFIG_URI:http://localhost:8888}

---

spring:
  profiles: dev
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        bootstrap: true
        git:
          uri: https://github.com/nocquidant/my-config-repo.git
          basedir: target/config

      

        
        
        
      

    

If not in 'dev' mode (spring.profiles.active = prod for example), the current Webapp does not start: it cannot autodetect my properties (I think the embedded server started with bad configuration)

If I comment out the spring-cloud-config-server dependency in the POM, then it works.

I could achieve what I want using the following, but no (actually using EnableConfigServer or not doesn't seem to change anything):

@Configuration
@Profile("dev")
@EnableConfigServer
public static class EmbeddedConfigServer { }

      

        
        
        
      

    

How can I (without using maven profile)? Is there an easy way to disable Spring's cloud config server? Is there a better way to achieve my goal?

Any help was appreciated.

PS version used:

<parent>
  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-parent</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.3.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

See simple project on github: https://github.com/nocquidant/exchange/tree/master/poc-spring-cloud/

It contains 2 simple modules: config-server and client-app.

First, if you run the Client class from the client-application module everything is fine (inline mode enabled => see dev profile in bootstrap.yml)

Then run config-server (ConfigServer class). Then change 'spring.profiles.active' to 'prod' (or whatever) in the client application and restart it: property injection no longer works (and the webapp refuses to start).

Caused by: org.springframework.validation.BindException: org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 1 errors
Field error in object 'server' on field 'port': rejected value [${taap.bak.config.port}];

      

        
        
        
      

    

Thus, it cannot connect to the config-server module. And if you comment the maven: spring-cloud-config-server dependencies from the client-application module, it works again.

Hopefully this is clearer now. Thank,
