How to reference flyway.locations via application.

Question

I have a SpringBoot application running on Liberty using flyway and working with filesystem: to reference the db/migration files locally. For our deployed environment I would prefer to keep the files inside of the generated war and not in a server folder and specified directly. When I try to use classpath:db/migration I get the following:

2017-06-21 13:50:20.494  INFO 2600 --- [ecutor-thread-3] o.f.core.internal.util.VersionPrinter    : Flyway 4.2.0 by Boxfuse

What is the proper way to connect the application to my db/migration folder on Liberty Profile? I have shoved an empty Flyway.Location file all over my Liberty folders with no avail.

This is Liberty 17.0.0.1, Spring-Boot 1.5.2 and Flyway-Core 4.2.0.

the solution is given in log, you need to add an empty file flyway.location in db/flyway
