Error:

       java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext
       Could not load properties; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [file.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Resources loaction:

  src/main/resources
          ---process-flow.xml
          --- process.yml
  src/main/resources/env/cconfig
          --- file.properties

Answer 1

Your folder structure contains a typo: src/main/resources/env/cconfig has to be src/main/resources/env/config

As defined in the Spring Externalized Configuration, SpringApplication loads properties from application.properties files in the following locations and adds them to the Spring Environment:

• A /config subdirectory of the current directory
• The current directory
• A classpath /config package
• The classpath root

Answer 2

Apart from "cconfig" folder name (not sure if that was a typo) I also see your @ImportResource is mentioned as classpath:process-flows.xml however your resources folder has file named process-flow.xml

If that was not a typo as well, please add an 's' by renaming process-flow.xml to process-flows.xml and retry
