java - Load external properties with Sping location property with relative path

Question

I wan to divide my application.properties to constant ones inside and compliled with a .jar and the second one which will hold "per server" and runtime changed values out of the .jar in another directory.

I would like to have in example sucha structure:

|
|-configFolder
|  |_application.properties
|
|_projectFolder
  |_app.jar

what I want to achieve is to point spring config location with relative path into that configFolder to load config files. I tried to:

spring:
  config:
    location: file:./../configFolder

but it didn't worked for me.

Do you know if relative paths are possible to use in that place? I would not use absolute directory while I could deploy code on different servers, so relative paths are convenient for me.
