Spring read list property dynamically With spring it easily possible to read a normal property using env.getProperty(key) For example if your application.yaml looks like this: test: "a" You can read the value like this: val test = env.getProperty("test") But now assume you want to read the following application.yaml: test: - a: "a" - b: "b" How can I read test[a] dynamically? What does not work unfortunately is this: val test = env.getProperty("test[a]")
