If you define a set of configuration keys for your own components, we recommend you group them in a POJO annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`.
Doing so will provide you with structured, type-safe object that you can inject into your own beans.
While you can write a `SpEL` expression in `@Value`, such expressions are not processed from <<boot-features-external-config-application-property-files,application property files>>.
`SpEL` expressions from <<boot-features-external-config-application-property-files,application property files>> are not processed at time of parsing these files and populating the environment.
However, it is possible to write a `SpEL` expression in `@Value`.
If the value of a property from an application property file is a `SpEL` expression, it will be evaluated when consumed via `@Value`.
