Annotation Type ConfigurationProperties

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

Annotation for externalized configuration. Add this to a class definition or a @Bean method in a @Configuration class if you want to bind and validate some external Properties (e.g. from a .properties file).

Note that contrary to @Value, SpEL expressions are not evaluated since property values are externalized.
