Annotation Interface NestedConfigurationProperty
@Target(FIELD)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Nested
public @interface NestedConfigurationProperty
Indicates that a field in a
@ConfigurationProperties
object should be treated as if it were a nested type. This annotation has no bearing on
the actual binding processes, but it is used by the
spring-boot-configuration-processor as a hint that a field is not bound as a
single value. When this is specified, a nested group is created for the field and its
type is harvested.
This has no effect on collections and maps as these types are automatically identified.
