java - Can I negate (!) a collection of spring profiles?

Question

Is it possible to configure a bean in such a way that it wont be used by a group of profiles? Currently I can do this (I believe):

@Profile("!dev, !qa, !local")

Is there a neater notation to achieve this? Let's assume I have lots of profiles. Also, if I have a Mock and concrete implementation of some service (or whatever), Can I just annotate one of them, and assume the other will be used in all other cases? In other words, is this, for example, necessary:

@Profile("dev, prof1, prof2")
public class MockImp implements MyInterface {...}

@Profile("!dev, !prof1, !prof2") //assume for argument sake that there are many other profiles
public class RealImp implements MyInterface {...}

Could I just annotate one of them, and stick a @Primary annotation on the other instead?

In essence I want this:

@Profile("!(dev, prof1, prof2)")

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Since Spring 5.1 (incorporated in Spring Boot 2.1) it is possible to use a profile expression inside profile string annotation (see the description in Profile.of(..) for details).

So to exclude your bean from certain profiles you can use an expression like this:

@Profile("!dev & !prof1 & !prof2")

Other logical operators can be used as well, for example:

@Profile("test | local")
