Following example shows how to set Environment active profile in Spring MVC.

In servlet based application, we need to add following in web.xml:

<context-param>
    <param-name>spring.profiles.active</param-name>
    <param-value>profile1</param-value>
</context-param>

Example

Environment related beans

public interface GreetingService {
    String getGreetingMsg();

    @Service
    @Profile("dev")
    class DevGreetingService implements GreetingService {

        @Override
        public String getGreetingMsg() {
            return "hi from dev";
        }
    }

    @Service
    @Profile("prod")
    class ProductionGreetingService implements GreetingService {

        @Override
        public String getGreetingMsg() {
            return "hi from production";
        }
    }
}

Example controller

@Controller
public class ExampleController {
  @Autowired
  private GreetingService greetingService;

  @RequestMapping("/")
  @ResponseBody
  public String handle() {
      return greetingService.getGreetingMsg();
  }
}

Java Config

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
public class AppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {
}

Web initializer

public class MyWebInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

  @Override
  public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) {
      AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext ctx =
              new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
      ctx.register(AppConfig.class);
      ctx.setServletContext(servletContext);
      ServletRegistration.Dynamic servlet =
              servletContext.addServlet("springDispatcherServlet",
                      new DispatcherServlet(ctx));
      servlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
      servlet.addMapping("/");
  }
}
