Profiling configuration overridden by default configuration

[ArtyomyuS]

Hello,
I have an issue running the spring boot with different profiles that should override beans.

Versions:

• Java 1.8.0_60
• Apache Maven 3.3.3 (7994120775791599e205a5524ec3e0dfe41d4a06; 2015-04-22T14:57:37+03:00)

Project has the following architecture:

src/main/java/
  Application.java
  config/ApplicationConfiguration.java
  config/LocalConfiguration.java
  service/SomeService.java
  service/SomeServiceImpl.java
  service/SomeLocalServiceImpl.java
src/main/resources
  application.properties
  application-local.properties
pom.xml

spring-boot version:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.6.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

The classes definition look as:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Autowired
    private SomeService someService;

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) {
        // someService method call
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication application = new SpringApplication(AllocationApplication.class);
        application.setApplicationContextClass(AnnotationConfigApplicationContext.class);
        SpringApplication.run(AllocationApplication.class, args);
    }
}

@Configuration
public class ApplicationConfiguration{
    @Bean
    public SomeService someService(){
      return new SomeServiceImpl();
    }
}

@Profile("local")
@Configuration
public class LocalConfiguration{
    @Bean
    public SomeService someService(){
      return new SomeLocalServiceImpl();
    }
}

When running the application with --spring.profiles.active=local I notice that the LOCAL beans are overridden by default ones:

2015-10-28 11:37:52.137  INFO [main] f.s.DefaultListableBeanFactory : Overriding bean definition for bean 'someService': replacing [Root bean: class [null]; scope=; abstract=false; lazyInit=false; autowireMode=3; dependencyCheck=0; autowireCandidate=true; primary=false; factoryBeanName=localConfiguration; factoryMethodName=someService; initMethodName=null; destroyMethodName=(inferred); defined in class path resource [config/LocalConfiguration.class]] with [Root bean: class [null]; scope=; abstract=false; lazyInit=false; autowireMode=3; dependencyCheck=0; autowireCandidate=true; primary=false; factoryBeanName=applicationConfiguration; factoryMethodName=someService; initMethodName=null; destroyMethodName=(inferred); defined in class path resource [config/ApplicationConfiguration.class]]

OK found the solution however for me it's weird, by applying the annotation @Profile("!local") on the bean definition method fixed it.

@Configuration
public class ApplicationConfiguration{
    @Bean  
    @Profile("!local")
    public SomeService someService(){
      return new SomeServiceImpl();
    }
}

For me is still unclear why the default configuration override the local if that one is active.
Basically my understanding is that first is default, then is the active that overrides.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

The Spring Boot tracker is here (you're in the wrong tracker). Having said that, questions are to be raised on Stackoverflow. Thanks!
