Suppose I have a class Foo and this code:

@ConfigurationProperties
public class Config {
  @NestedConfigurationProperty Foo foo;
}

First of all I understand in order to use a class Foo like above that is not an inner class of Config, I MUST use @NestedConfigurationProperty. is that correct?

Next, I have to author application.properties like so:

foo.prop1=xxx
foo.prop2=xxx
...

If I use any other prefix except foo in application.properties, the parameter is not parsed properly. What I would like to do is be able to say:

bar.prop1=xxx
bar.prop2=xxx
...

How can I do this?
