Why Spring Vault try to load secret/application by default?

Hi, my name is Luram Archanjo and I am studying and doing some proof of concepts (POC) related to Spring Vault and Hashicorp Vault to maybe in the future to use in Production and I have noticed that Spring Vault try to load the properties from secret/application as shown below in the log:

2020-09-02 16:43:29.489  INFO 9547 --- [           main] o.s.v.c.e.LeaseAwareVaultPropertySource  : Vault location [secret/application] not resolvable: Not found

My point is why this?

I was thinking if a have multiples application with multiples contexts using Spring Vault and someone creates and populates the secret/application this properties goes to all my application and by luck replace some properties!

There is a way to disable this behavior? I know that I can prevent it, using vault policy, but the behavior seems to be strange!

My POC

https://github.com/luramarchanjo/poc-spring-vault

[luramarchanjo]

I have found a workaround following the documentation

spring.cloud.vault.generic.default-context=${spring.cloud.vault.application-name}

or

spring.cloud.vault.generic.default-context=

[luramarchanjo]

Specifying spring.cloud.vault.kv.default-context= is sufficient to leave the context name empty. We should not introduce yet another mechanism to partially disable the default mechanism to compute context paths.

Ok, so I am closing this issue and the PR, thank you so much!
