Issues in passing application configuration parameters to spark application - scala

Question

I created an object using Spark/Scala to load data from an Oracle source to Hive Table. Database Password is passed through application.properties through typesafe.ConfigFactory.
I ATTEMPTED APPLICATION.CONF IN MY USER FOLDER and also IN CLASSPATH IN ANOTHER ATTEMPT with below spark-submit.
On every attempt I encounter error saying "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error while instantiating 'org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveSessionStateBuilder':".
which indicates like properties not reached configFactory methods
Can someone help me what am missing?
//my object snippet
object LoadFromOracleToHive {
def SaveToHive(spark :SparkSession):Unit = {
try {
val appConf = ConfigFactory.load(s"application.conf").getConfig("my.config")
val sparkConfig = appConf.getConfig("spark") // config.getConfig("spark")
val df = spark
.read
.format("jdbc")
.options(Map("password" -> sparkConfig.getString("password") , "driver" -> "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"))
//my application.conf
my.config {
spark {
password = "password"
}
}
//my spark-submit
