## Class SpringProperties

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.core.SpringProperties

-     public abstract class SpringProperties
      extends Object

  Static holder for local Spring properties, i.e. defined at the Spring library level.

  Reads a `spring.properties` file from the root of the Spring library classpath, and also allows for programmatically setting properties through `setProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`. When checking a property, local entries are being checked first, then falling back to JVM-level system properties through a `System.getProperty(java.lang.String)` check.

  This is an alternative way to set Spring-related system properties such as "spring.getenv.ignore" and "spring.beaninfo.ignore", in particular for scenarios where JVM system properties are locked on the target platform (e.g. WebSphere). See `setFlag(java.lang.String)` for a convenient way to locally set such flags to "true".
