kotlinlang

I am converting a Scala app to Spring Boot using Kotlin. 
I had a Scala object (which would have been a class of static methods in Java), to create a JWT, and to check the http-header for the jwt token and to read/verify the data...This all works well, but I am trying to access a property from `application.properties`, but this fails. I am using 
    @Value("\${application.secret:}")
    lateinit var jwtSecret: String
but this fails to initialise the secret from the application properties. I am not sure if I am missing another annotation to tell Spring to scan this particular kotlin file, but I couldnt find anything when searching.
