SpringApplication会从以下路径加载所有的application.properties文件：

1、file:./config/（当前目录下的config文件夹）
2、file:./（当前目录）
3、classpath:/config/（classpath下的config目录）
4、classpath:/（classpath根目录）

优先级由上至下。
注意：优先级是指属性最后使用的值，而不是说仅仅扫描优先级高的路径，不是发现了application.properties文件就停止。例如classpath:/config/和file:./config/都存在配置文件，那么加载过程会加载classpath:/config/路径下配置文件的所有属性，然后再加载file:./config/路径下配置文件的属性并替换已有的属性。此外，如果你在相同优先级位置同时有application.properties和application.yml，那么application.yml里面的属性就会覆盖application.properties里的属性。
如果你不想使用application.properties的格式命名配置文件，那么可以通过环境变量spring.config.name来设置文件名称，例如：
$ java -jar myproject.jar --spring.config.name=example-sys.properties此时，要加载的配置文件名为example-sys.properties。除了修改名称，还可以使用 spring.config.location 来添加要加载的路径。例如我们以这个命令启动JVM：$ java -jar myapp.jar --spring.config.location=classpath:/myconfig/,file:./myconfig/
那么加载application.properties文件的路径以及优先级会变为：

1、file:./myconfig/
2、classpath:/myconfig/
3、file:./config/
4、file:./
5、classpath:/config/
6、classpath:/

spring.config.location环境变量也可以直接设定到加载文件的名称，例如：--spring.config.location=classpath:/default.properties
通常情况下这样做并没有太大问题，但是结合到Profiles文件特性时，会导致无法根据标记加载对应的Profiles文件。
由于配置文件路径和配置文件名称在容器未启动时就需要声明，所以最好在OS的环境变量、JVM的系统环境变量或命令行参数就设定它。

注：

"file:"文件路径前缀的相对路径根目录是 用户当前目录(即用户运行jar包时的当前目录)

"classpath:"文件路径前缀的相对路径根目录是 jar包内classes文件夹

classpath 优先本项目class路径查找，没有的话依次在其他jar包中class路径查找，找到第一个匹配的为止
classpath* 加载到所有class路径下的配置文件，包括jar包的class路径下，最终加载所有匹配的
file 通过URL加载，来源为文件系统（注意文件读取权限）
http 通过URL加载，来源为网络
(none) 根据 ApplicationContext 进行判断（这个我没试过）

classpath

举个栗子：A项目中resources中存在system.properties，B项目中resources中也存在system.properties。A项目以jar包形式引入B项目。此时A项目spring配置classpath:system.properties加载到的是A项目自己的system.properties。但是如果A项目resources中没有system.properties则最终结果加载到的是B.jar中的system.properties

classpath*

举个栗子：A项目中resources中存在system.properties，B项目中resources中也存在system.properties。A项目以jar包形式引入B项目。此时A项目spring配置classpath*:system.properties加载到的是A和B的system.properties
如下图（我是引入的两个jar都有同名配置文件）：

这里大家可能会有疑问，同时引入了两个同名配置文件，如果两个同名配置文件中有同样的配置，比如:
A项目system.properties

milo=a
milo1=a

B项目system.properties

milo=b
milo1=b

那么最终引用的是哪个？我这边最终实验结果是根据spring加载顺序倒叙加载，直到找到匹配的值。而且值与值之间不影响，每次都按加载顺序倒叙查找。即：如果spring加载顺序为A->B ,那么最终取到的值为：milo=b milo1=b。而且spring在取milo和milo1时都是按照spring加载顺序倒叙取得。大家可以通过三个配置文件情况做下试验。对spring熟悉的同学也可找下源码看一下。
