Spring Profiles on method level?

Spring Profiles on method level?

Profiles in Spring are typically used at the application level to configure different beans and components based on the active profile(s). However, you can achieve similar behavior by conditional execution within your methods using @Profile-related annotations and conditionals.

Here's an approach you can take to conditionally execute methods based on profiles:

  • Use the @Profile annotation on your methods or beans:
@Service
public class MyService {
    
    @Profile("dev")
    public void doSomethingInDev() {
        // Method logic for 'dev' profile
    }
    
    @Profile("prod")
    public void doSomethingInProd() {
        // Method logic for 'prod' profile
    }
}

In this example, we have a MyService class with two methods, each annotated with @Profile. These methods will only be available for execution when the corresponding profile is active.

  • Activate the desired profile(s) in your application configuration or properties file. For example, in application.properties:
spring.profiles.active=dev

With this configuration, the doSomethingInDev method will be available for execution, but the doSomethingInProd method will not be available.

  • In your code, you can conditionally call these methods based on the active profile:
@Autowired
private MyService myService;

public void someMethod() {
    if (Arrays.asList(environment.getActiveProfiles()).contains("dev")) {
        myService.doSomethingInDev();
    } else if (Arrays.asList(environment.getActiveProfiles()).contains("prod")) {
        myService.doSomethingInProd();
    } else {
        // Handle other profiles or provide a default behavior
    }
}

In this example, we use the environment.getActiveProfiles() method to determine the active profiles and then call the appropriate method based on the profile.

Keep in mind that this approach is not as clean as applying profiles directly to methods, but it allows you to achieve conditional execution based on profiles at the method level. Depending on your specific use case, you may consider other alternatives like using Spring's @Conditional annotation for more advanced conditional bean creation.
