You can access them in your application's main() method. A great blog about this topic covers it in detail. Following is how you can do it.

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for(String arg:args) {
            System.out.println(arg);
        }
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

Hi Adil, Thanks for your response. But in particular, I want to know it through some annotation. – Somil Aseeja Apr 22 '19 at 10:33
look at https://memorynotfound.com/spring-boot-passing-command-line-arguments-example/, you can later do something like "@Value("server.port") – Adil Khalil Apr 22 '19 at 10:38
I looked at these articles earlier but these are not working. – Somil Aseeja Apr 22 '19 at 10:42
you need to fetch the property values in java class ryt? correct me if I'm wrong – Akhil S Kamath Apr 22 '19 at 10:46
@AkhilSK Yes using some annotations or something like this. @Value("${spring.config.name}") private String springConfigName; – Somil Aseeja Apr 22 '19 at 10:57

Please try using spring org.springframework.core.env.Environment,

public class MyService {

    @Autowired
    private Environment env;

    public String getPropertyValue(String key) {
            return env.getProperty(key);
    }
}

OR

In application-<env>.propeties (if using spring.profiles) else application.properties

myapp.property=007

In your class :

@Value("${myapp.property}")
private String myProperty;
