Annotation Type ConditionalOnProperty

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={TYPE,METHOD})
public @interface ConditionalOnProperty

Conditional that checks if the specified properties have a specific value. By default the properties must be present in the Environment and not equal to false. The havingValue() and matchIfMissing() attributes allow further customizations.

The havingValue() attribute can be used to specify the value that the property should have. The table below shows when a condition matches according to the property value and the havingValue() attribute:

Property Value	havingValue=""	havingValue="true"	havingValue="false"	havingValue="foo"
"true"	yes	yes	no	no
"false"	no	no	yes	no
"foo"	yes	no	no	yes

If the property is not contained in the Environment at all, the matchIfMissing() attribute is consulted. By default missing attributes do not match.

Since:

1.1.0
