Getting Started + + + +If you are getting started with Spring Boot, or “Spring” in general, start by reading this section. It answers the basic “what?”, “how?” and “why?” questions. It includes an introduction to Spring Boot, along with installation instructions. We then walk you through building your first Spring Boot application, discussing some core principles as we go. + +## 8. Introducing Spring Boot + +Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based Applications that you can run. We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries, so that you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration. + +You can use Spring Boot to create Java applications that can be started by using `java -jar` or more traditional war deployments. We also provide a command line tool that runs “spring scripts”. + +Our primary goals are: + +- Provide a radically faster and widely accessible getting-started experience for all Spring development. +- Be opinionated out of the box but get out of the way quickly as requirements start to diverge from the defaults. +- Provide a range of non-functional features that are common to large classes of projects (such as embedded servers, security, metrics, health checks, and externalized configuration). +- Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configuration. + +## 9. System Requirements + +Spring Boot 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT requires [Java 8 or 9](https://www.java.com/) and [Spring Framework 5.0.4.RELEASE](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/) or above. Explicit build support is provided for Maven 3.2+ and Gradle 4. + +## 9.1 Servlet Containers + +Spring Boot supports the following embedded servlet containers: + +| Name | Servlet Version | +| ------------ | --------------- | +| Tomcat 8.5 | 3.1 | +| Jetty 9.4 | 3.1 | +| Undertow 1.4 | 3.1 | + +You can also deploy Spring Boot applications to any Servlet 3.0+ compatible container. + +## 10. Installing Spring Boot + +Spring Boot can be used with “classic” Java development tools or installed as a command line tool. Either way, you need [Java SDK v1.8](https://www.java.com/) or higher. Before you begin, you should check your current Java installation by using the following command: + +``` +$ java -version +``` + +If you are new to Java development or if you want to experiment with Spring Boot, you might want to try the [Spring Boot CLI](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#getting-started-installing-the-cli) (Command Line Interface) first. Otherwise, read on for “classic” installation instructions. + +## 10.1 Installation Instructions for the Java Developer + +You can use Spring Boot in the same way as any standard Java library. To do so, include the appropriate `spring-boot-*.jar` files on your classpath. Spring Boot does not require any special tools integration, so you can use any IDE or text editor. Also, there is nothing special about a Spring Boot application, so you can run and debug a Spring Boot application as you would any other Java program. + +Although you *could* copy Spring Boot jars, we generally recommend that you use a build tool that supports dependency management (such as Maven or Gradle). + +### 10.1.1 Maven Installation + +Spring Boot is compatible with Apache Maven 3.2 or above. If you do not already have Maven installed, you can follow the instructions at [maven.apache.org](https://maven.apache.org/). + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| On many operating systems, Maven can be installed with a package manager. If you use OSX Homebrew, try `brew install maven`. Ubuntu users can run `sudo apt-get install maven`. Windows users with [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) can run `choco install maven` from an elevated (administrator) prompt. | + +Spring Boot dependencies use the `org.springframework.boot` `groupId`. Typically, your Maven POM file inherits from the `spring-boot-starter-parent`project and declares dependencies to one or more [“Starters”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-starter). Spring Boot also provides an optional [Maven plugin](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#build-tool-plugins-maven-plugin) to create executable jars. + +The following listing shows a typical `pom.xml` file: + +``` + + + 4.0.0 + + com.example + myproject + 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-parent + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + + + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-web + + + + + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + + + + + + + + spring-snapshots + https://repo.spring.io/snapshot + true + + + spring-milestones + https://repo.spring.io/milestone + + + + + spring-snapshots + https://repo.spring.io/snapshot + + + spring-milestones + https://repo.spring.io/milestone + + + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `spring-boot-starter-parent` is a great way to use Spring Boot, but it might not be suitable all of the time. Sometimes you may need to inherit from a different parent POM, or you might not like our default settings. In those cases, see [Section 13.2.2, “Using Spring Boot without the Parent POM”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-maven-without-a-parent) for an alternative solution that uses an `import` scope. | + +### 10.1.2 Gradle Installation + +Spring Boot is compatible with Gradle 4. If you do not already have Gradle installed, you can follow the instructions at [gradle.org/](https://gradle.org/). + +Spring Boot dependencies can be declared by using the `org.springframework.boot` `group`. Typically, your project declares dependencies to one or more[“Starters”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-starter). Spring Boot provides a useful [Gradle plugin](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#build-tool-plugins-gradle-plugin) that can be used to simplify dependency declarations and to create executable jars. + +**Gradle Wrapper** + +The Gradle Wrapper provides a nice way of “obtaining” Gradle when you need to build a project. It is a small script and library that you commit alongside your code to bootstrap the build process. See [docs.gradle.org/4.2.1/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html](https://docs.gradle.org/4.2.1/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html) for details. + +The following example shows a typical `build.gradle` file: + +``` +buildscript { + repositories { + jcenter() + maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/snapshot' } + maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/milestone' } + } + dependencies { + classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT' + } +} + +apply plugin: 'java' +apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot' +apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management' + +jar { + baseName = 'myproject' + version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT' +} + +repositories { + jcenter() + maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" } + maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" } +} + +dependencies { + compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") + testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test") +} +``` + +## 10.2 Installing the Spring Boot CLI + +The Spring Boot CLI (Command Line Interface) is a command line tool that you can use to quickly prototype with Spring. It lets you run [Groovy](http://groovy-lang.org/) scripts, which means that you have a familiar Java-like syntax without so much boilerplate code. + +You do not need to use the CLI to work with Spring Boot, but it is definitely the quickest way to get a Spring application off the ground. + +### 10.2.1 Manual Installation + +You can download the Spring CLI distribution from the Spring software repository: + +- [spring-boot-cli-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip](https://repo.spring.io/snapshot/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-cli/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/spring-boot-cli-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip) +- [spring-boot-cli-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz](https://repo.spring.io/snapshot/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-cli/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/spring-boot-cli-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz) + +Cutting edge [snapshot distributions](https://repo.spring.io/snapshot/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-cli/) are also available. + +Once downloaded, follow the [INSTALL.txt](https://raw.github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-cli/src/main/content/INSTALL.txt) instructions from the unpacked archive. In summary, there is a `spring` script (`spring.bat` for Windows) in a `bin/`directory in the `.zip` file. Alternatively, you can use `java -jar` with the `.jar` file (the script helps you to be sure that the classpath is set correctly). + +### 10.2.2 Installation with SDKMAN! + +SDKMAN! (The Software Development Kit Manager) can be used for managing multiple versions of various binary SDKs, including Groovy and the Spring Boot CLI. Get SDKMAN! from [sdkman.io](http://sdkman.io/) and install Spring Boot by using the following commands: + +``` +$ sdk install springboot +$ spring --version +Spring Boot v2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT +``` + +If you develop features for the CLI and want easy access to the version you built, use the following commands: + +``` +$ sdk install springboot dev /path/to/spring-boot/spring-boot-cli/target/spring-boot-cli-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-bin/spring-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/ +$ sdk default springboot dev +$ spring --version +Spring CLI v2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT +``` + +The preceding instructions install a local instance of `spring` called the `dev` instance. It points at your target build location, so every time you rebuild Spring Boot,`spring` is up-to-date. + +You can see it by running the following command: + +``` +$ sdk ls springboot + +================================================================================ +Available Springboot Versions +================================================================================ +> + dev +* 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + +================================================================================ ++ - local version +* - installed +> - currently in use +================================================================================ +``` + +### 10.2.3 OSX Homebrew Installation + +If you are on a Mac and use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), you can install the Spring Boot CLI by using the following commands: + +``` +$ brew tap pivotal/tap +$ brew install springboot +``` + +Homebrew installs `spring` to `/usr/local/bin`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you do not see the formula, your installation of brew might be out-of-date. In that case, run `brew update` and try again. | + +### 10.2.4 MacPorts Installation + +If you are on a Mac and use [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/), you can install the Spring Boot CLI by using the following command: + +``` +$ sudo port install spring-boot-cli +``` + +### 10.2.5 Command-line Completion + +The Spring Boot CLI includes scripts that provide command completion for the [BASH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)) and [zsh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell) shells. You can `source` the script (also named `spring`) in any shell or put it in your personal or system-wide bash completion initialization. On a Debian system, the system-wide scripts are in `/shell-completion/bash` and all scripts in that directory are executed when a new shell starts. For example, to run the script manually if you have installed by using SDKMAN!, use the following commands: + +``` +$ . ~/.sdkman/candidates/springboot/current/shell-completion/bash/spring +$ spring + grab help jar run test version + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you install the Spring Boot CLI by using Homebrew or MacPorts, the command-line completion scripts are automatically registered with your shell. | + +### 10.2.6 Quick-start Spring CLI Example + +You can use the following web application to test your installation. To start, create a file called `app.groovy`, as follows: + +``` +@RestController +class ThisWillActuallyRun { + + @RequestMapping("/") + String home() { + "Hello World!" + } + +} + +``` + +Then run it from a shell, as follows: + +``` +$ spring run app.groovy + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The first run of your application is slow, as dependencies are downloaded. Subsequent runs are much quicker. | + +Open `localhost:8080` in your favorite web browser. You should see the following output: + +``` +Hello World! + +``` + +## 10.3 Upgrading from an Earlier Version of Spring Boot + +If you are upgrading from an earlier release of Spring Boot, check the [“migration guide” on the project wiki](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.0-Migration-Guide) that provides detailed upgrade instructions. Check also the[“release notes”](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki) for a list of “new and noteworthy” features for each release. + +To upgrade an existing CLI installation, use the appropriate package manager command (for example, `brew upgrade`) or, if you manually installed the CLI, follow the[standard instructions](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#getting-started-manual-cli-installation), remembering to update your `PATH` environment variable to remove any older references. + +## 11. Developing Your First Spring Boot Application + +This section describes how to develop a simple “Hello World!” web application that highlights some of Spring Boot’s key features. We use Maven to build this project, since most IDEs support it. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The [spring.io](https://spring.io/) web site contains many “Getting Started” [guides](https://spring.io/guides) that use Spring Boot. If you need to solve a specific problem, check there first.You can shortcut the steps below by going to [start.spring.io](https://start.spring.io/) and choosing the "Web" starter from the dependencies searcher. Doing so generates a new project structure so that you can [start coding right away](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#getting-started-first-application-code). Check the [Spring Initializr documentation](https://github.com/spring-io/initializr) for more details. | + +Before we begin, open a terminal and run the following commands to ensure that you have valid versions of Java and Maven installed: + +``` +$ java -version +java version "1.8.0_102" +Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_102-b14) +Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.102-b14, mixed mode) +$ mvn -v +Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T16:41:47+00:00) +Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.3.9/libexec +Java version: 1.8.0_102, vendor: Oracle Corporation + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| This sample needs to be created in its own folder. Subsequent instructions assume that you have created a suitable folder and that it is your current directory. | + +## 11.1 Creating the POM + +We need to start by creating a Maven `pom.xml` file. The `pom.xml` is the recipe that is used to build your project. Open your favorite text editor and add the following: + +``` + + + 4.0.0 + + com.example + myproject + 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-parent + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + + + + + + + + spring-snapshots + https://repo.spring.io/snapshot + true + + + spring-milestones + https://repo.spring.io/milestone + + + + + spring-snapshots + https://repo.spring.io/snapshot + + + spring-milestones + https://repo.spring.io/milestone + + + + +``` + +The preceding listing should give you a working build. You can test it by running `mvn package` (for now, you can ignore the “jar will be empty - no content was marked for inclusion!” warning). + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| At this point, you could import the project into an IDE (most modern Java IDEs include built-in support for Maven). For simplicity, we continue to use a plain text editor for this example. | + +## 11.2 Adding Classpath Dependencies + +Spring Boot provides a number of “Starters” that let you add jars to your classpath. Our sample application has already used `spring-boot-starter-parent` in the `parent` section of the POM. The `spring-boot-starter-parent` is a special starter that provides useful Maven defaults. It also provides a[`dependency-management`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-dependency-management) section so that you can omit `version` tags for “blessed” dependencies. + +Other “Starters” provide dependencies that you are likely to need when developing a specific type of application. Since we are developing a web application, we add a`spring-boot-starter-web` dependency. Before that, we can look at what we currently have by running the following command: + +``` +$ mvn dependency:tree + +[INFO] com.example:myproject:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT + +``` + +The `mvn dependency:tree` command prints a tree representation of your project dependencies. You can see that `spring-boot-starter-parent` provides no dependencies by itself. To add the necessary dependencies, edit your `pom.xml` and add the `spring-boot-starter-web` dependency immediately below the `parent` section: + +``` + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-web + + + +``` + +If you run `mvn dependency:tree` again, you see that there are now a number of additional dependencies, including the Tomcat web server and Spring Boot itself. + +## 11.3 Writing the Code + +To finish our application, we need to create a single Java file. By default, Maven compiles sources from `src/main/java`, so you need to create that folder structure and then add a file named `src/main/java/Example.java` to contain the following code: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.*; +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.*; +import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*; + +@RestController +@EnableAutoConfiguration +public class Example { + + @RequestMapping("/") + String home() { + return "Hello World!"; + } + + public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { + SpringApplication.run(Example.class, args); + } + +} + +``` + +Although there is not much code here, quite a lot is going on. We step through the important parts in the next few sections. + +### 11.3.1 The @RestController and @RequestMapping Annotations + +The first annotation on our `Example` class is `@RestController`. This is known as a *stereotype* annotation. It provides hints for people reading the code and for Spring that the class plays a specific role. In this case, our class is a web `@Controller`, so Spring considers it when handling incoming web requests. + +The `@RequestMapping` annotation provides “routing” information. It tells Spring that any HTTP request with the `/` path should be mapped to the `home` method. The`@RestController` annotation tells Spring to render the resulting string directly back to the caller. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `@RestController` and `@RequestMapping` annotations are Spring MVC annotations. (They are not specific to Spring Boot.) See the [MVC section](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc)in the Spring Reference Documentation for more details. | + +### 11.3.2 The @EnableAutoConfiguration Annotation + +The second class-level annotation is `@EnableAutoConfiguration`. This annotation tells Spring Boot to “guess” how you want to configure Spring, based on the jar dependencies that you have added. Since `spring-boot-starter-web` added Tomcat and Spring MVC, the auto-configuration assumes that you are developing a web application and sets up Spring accordingly. + +**Starters and Auto-Configuration** + +Auto-configuration is designed to work well with “Starters”, but the two concepts are not directly tied. You are free to pick and choose jar dependencies outside of the starters. Spring Boot still does its best to auto-configure your application. + +### 11.3.3 The “main” Method + +The final part of our application is the `main` method. This is just a standard method that follows the Java convention for an application entry point. Our main method delegates to Spring Boot’s `SpringApplication` class by calling `run`. `SpringApplication` bootstraps our application, starting Spring, which, in turn, starts the auto-configured Tomcat web server. We need to pass `Example.class` as an argument to the `run` method to tell `SpringApplication` which is the primary Spring component. The `args` array is also passed through to expose any command-line arguments. + +## 11.4 Running the Example + +At this point, your application should work. Since you used the `spring-boot-starter-parent` POM, you have a useful `run` goal that you can use to start the application. Type `mvn spring-boot:run` from the root project directory to start the application. You should see output similar to the following: + +``` +$ mvn spring-boot:run + + . ____ _ __ _ _ + /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ +( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \ + \\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) ) + ' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / / + =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/ + :: Spring Boot :: (v2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT) +....... . . . +....... . . . (log output here) +....... . . . +........ Started Example in 2.222 seconds (JVM running for 6.514) + +``` + +If you open a web browser to `localhost:8080`, you should see the following output: + +``` +Hello World! + +``` + +To gracefully exit the application, press `ctrl-c`. + +## 11.5 Creating an Executable Jar + +We finish our example by creating a completely self-contained executable jar file that we could run in production. Executable jars (sometimes called “fat jars”) are archives containing your compiled classes along with all of the jar dependencies that your code needs to run. + +**Executable jars and Java** + +Java does not provide a standard way to load nested jar files (jar files that are themselves contained within a jar). This can be problematic if you are looking to distribute a self-contained application. + +To solve this problem, many developers use “uber” jars. An uber jar packages all the classes from all the application’s dependencies into a single archive. The problem with this approach is that it becomes hard to see which libraries are in your application. It can also be problematic if the same filename is used (but with different content) in multiple jars. + +Spring Boot takes a [different approach](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#executable-jar) and lets you actually nest jars directly. + +To create an executable jar, we need to add the `spring-boot-maven-plugin` to our `pom.xml`. To do so, insert the following lines just below the `dependencies`section: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `spring-boot-starter-parent` POM includes `` configuration to bind the `repackage` goal. If you do not use the parent POM, you need to declare this configuration yourself. See the [plugin documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin/usage.html) for details. | + +Save your `pom.xml` and run `mvn package` from the command line, as follows: + +``` +$ mvn package + +[INFO] Scanning for projects... +[INFO] +[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +[INFO] Building myproject 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT +[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +[INFO] .... .. +[INFO] --- maven-jar-plugin:2.4:jar (default-jar) @ myproject --- +[INFO] Building jar: /Users/developer/example/spring-boot-example/target/myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar +[INFO] +[INFO] --- spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT:repackage (default) @ myproject --- +[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS +[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +``` + +If you look in the `target` directory, you should see `myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar`. The file should be around 10 MB in size. If you want to peek inside, you can use `jar tvf`, as follows: + +``` +$ jar tvf target/myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + +``` + +You should also see a much smaller file named `myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.original` in the `target` directory. This is the original jar file that Maven created before it was repackaged by Spring Boot. + +To run that application, use the `java -jar` command, as follows: + +``` +$ java -jar target/myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + + . ____ _ __ _ _ + /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ +( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \ + \\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) ) + ' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / / + =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/ + :: Spring Boot :: (v2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT) +....... . . . +....... . . . (log output here) +....... . . . +........ Started Example in 2.536 seconds (JVM running for 2.864) + +``` + +As before, to exit the application, press `ctrl-c`. + +## 12. What to Read Next + +Hopefully, this section provided some of the Spring Boot basics and got you on your way to writing your own applications. If you are a task-oriented type of developer, you might want to jump over to [spring.io](https://spring.io/) and check out some of the [getting started](https://spring.io/guides/) guides that solve specific “How do I do that with Spring?” problems. We also have Spring Boot-specific “[How-to](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto)” reference documentation. + +The [Spring Boot repository](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot) also has a [bunch of samples](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples) you can run. The samples are independent of the rest of the code (that is, you do not need to build the rest to run or use the samples). + +Otherwise, the next logical step is to read *Part III, “Using Spring Boot”*. If you are really impatient, you could also jump ahead and read about *Spring Boot features*. + +# Part III. Using Spring Boot + + + +This section goes into more detail about how you should use Spring Boot. It covers topics such as build systems, auto-configuration, and how to run your applications. We also cover some Spring Boot best practices. Although there is nothing particularly special about Spring Boot (it is just another library that you can consume), there are a few recommendations that, when followed, make your development process a little easier. + +If you are starting out with Spring Boot, you should probably read the *Getting Started* guide before diving into this section. + +## 13. Build Systems + +It is strongly recommended that you choose a build system that supports [*dependency management*](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-dependency-management) and that can consume artifacts published to the “Maven Central” repository. We would recommend that you choose Maven or Gradle. It is possible to get Spring Boot to work with other build systems (Ant, for example), but they are not particularly well supported. + +## 13.1 Dependency Management + +Each release of Spring Boot provides a curated list of dependencies that it supports. In practice, you do not need to provide a version for any of these dependencies in your build configuration, as Spring Boot manages that for you. When you upgrade Spring Boot itself, these dependencies are upgraded as well in a consistent way. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can still specify a version and override Spring Boot’s recommendations if you need to do so. | + +The curated list contains all the spring modules that you can use with Spring Boot as well as a refined list of third party libraries. The list is available as a standard [Bills of Materials (`spring-boot-dependencies`)](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-maven-without-a-parent) that can be used with both [Maven](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-maven-parent-pom) and [Gradle](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-gradle). + +| ![[Warning]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/warning.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Each release of Spring Boot is associated with a base version of the Spring Framework. We **highly** recommend that you not specify its version. | + +## 13.2 Maven + +Maven users can inherit from the `spring-boot-starter-parent` project to obtain sensible defaults. The parent project provides the following features: + +- Java 1.8 as the default compiler level. +- UTF-8 source encoding. +- A [Dependency Management section](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-dependency-management), inherited from the spring-boot-dependencies pom, that manages the versions of common dependencies. This dependency management lets you omit tags for those dependencies when used in your own pom. +- Sensible [resource filtering](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filter.html). +- Sensible plugin configuration ([exec plugin](http://www.mojohaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/), [Git commit ID](https://github.com/ktoso/maven-git-commit-id-plugin), and [shade](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/)). +- Sensible resource filtering for `application.properties` and `application.yml` including profile-specific files (for example, `application-dev.properties` and `application-dev.yml`) + +Note that, since the `application.properties` and `application.yml` files accept Spring style placeholders (`${…}`), the Maven filtering is changed to use `@..@`placeholders. (You can override that by setting a Maven property called `resource.delimiter`.) + +### 13.2.1 Inheriting the Starter Parent + +To configure your project to inherit from the `spring-boot-starter-parent`, set the `parent` as follows: + +``` + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-parent + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You should need to specify only the Spring Boot version number on this dependency. If you import additional starters, you can safely omit the version number. | + +With that setup, you can also override individual dependencies by overriding a property in your own project. For instance, to upgrade to another Spring Data release train, you would add the following to your `pom.xml`: + +``` + + Fowler-SR2 + + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Check the [`spring-boot-dependencies` pom](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-dependencies/pom.xml) for a list of supported properties. | + +### 13.2.2 Using Spring Boot without the Parent POM + +Not everyone likes inheriting from the `spring-boot-starter-parent` POM. You may have your own corporate standard parent that you need to use or you may prefer to explicitly declare all your Maven configuration. + +If you do not want to use the `spring-boot-starter-parent`, you can still keep the benefit of the dependency management (but not the plugin management) by using a `scope=import` dependency, as follows: + +``` + + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-dependencies + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + pom + import + + + + +``` + +The preceding sample setup does not let you override individual dependencies by using a property, as explained above. To achieve the same result, you need to add an entry in the `dependencyManagement` of your project **before** the `spring-boot-dependencies` entry. For instance, to upgrade to another Spring Data release train, you could add the following element to your `pom.xml`: + +``` + + + + + org.springframework.data + spring-data-releasetrain + Fowler-SR2 + pom + import + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-dependencies + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + pom + import + + + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| In the preceding example, we specify a *BOM*, but any dependency type can be overridden in the same way. | + +### 13.2.3 Using the Spring Boot Maven Plugin + +Spring Boot includes a [Maven plugin](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#build-tool-plugins-maven-plugin) that can package the project as an executable jar. Add the plugin to your `` section if you want to use it, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you use the Spring Boot starter parent pom, you need to add only the plugin. There is no need to configure it unless you want to change the settings defined in the parent. | + +## 13.3 Gradle + +To learn about using Spring Boot with Gradle, please refer to the documentation for Spring Boot’s Gradle plugin: + +- Reference ([HTML](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gradle-plugin/reference/html) and [PDF](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gradle-plugin/reference/pdf/spring-boot-gradle-plugin-reference.pdf)) +- [API](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gradle-plugin/api) + +## 13.4 Ant + +It is possible to build a Spring Boot project using Apache Ant+Ivy. The `spring-boot-antlib` “AntLib” module is also available to help Ant create executable jars. + +To declare dependencies, a typical `ivy.xml` file looks something like the following example: + +``` + + + + + + + + + + + +``` + +A typical `build.xml` looks like the following example: + +``` + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you do not want to use the `spring-boot-antlib` module, see the *Section 86.9, “Build an Executable Archive from Ant without Using spring-boot-antlib”* “How-to” . | + +## 13.5 Starters + +Starters are a set of convenient dependency descriptors that you can include in your application. You get a one-stop shop for all the Spring and related technologies that you need without having to hunt through sample code and copy-paste loads of dependency descriptors. For example, if you want to get started using Spring and JPA for database access, include the `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa` dependency in your project. + +The starters contain a lot of the dependencies that you need to get a project up and running quickly and with a consistent, supported set of managed transitive dependencies. + +**What’s in a name** + +All **official** starters follow a similar naming pattern; `spring-boot-starter-*`, where `*` is a particular type of application. This naming structure is intended to help when you need to find a starter. The Maven integration in many IDEs lets you search dependencies by name. For example, with the appropriate Eclipse or STS plugin installed, you can press `ctrl-space` in the POM editor and type “spring-boot-starter” for a complete list. + +As explained in the “[Creating Your Own Starter](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-custom-starter)” section, third party starters should not start with `spring-boot`, as it is reserved for official Spring Boot artifacts. Rather, a third-party starter typically starts with the name of the project. For example, a third-party starter project called `thirdpartyproject` would typically be named `thirdpartyproject-spring-boot-starter`. + +The following application starters are provided by Spring Boot under the `org.springframework.boot` group: + + + +**Table 13.1.

Structuring Your Code + +Spring Boot does not require any specific code layout to work. However, there are some best practices that help. + +## 14.1 Using the “default” Package + +When a class does not include a `package` declaration, it is considered to be in the “default package”. The use of the “default package” is generally discouraged and should be avoided. It can cause particular problems for Spring Boot applications that use the `@ComponentScan`, `@EntityScan`, or `@SpringBootApplication`annotations, since every class from every jar is read. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| We recommend that you follow Java’s recommended package naming conventions and use a reversed domain name (for example, `com.example.project`). | + +## 14.2 Locating the Main Application Class + +We generally recommend that you locate your main application class in a root package above other classes. The `@EnableAutoConfiguration` annotation is often placed on your main class, and it implicitly defines a base “search package” for certain items. For example, if you are writing a JPA application, the package of the`@EnableAutoConfiguration` annotated class is used to search for `@Entity` items. + +Using a root package also lets the `@ComponentScan` annotation be used without needing to specify a `basePackage` attribute. You can also use the `@SpringBootApplication` annotation if your main class is in the root package. + +The following listing shows a typical layout: + +``` +com + +- example + +- myapplication + +- Application.java + | + +- customer + | +- Customer.java + | +- CustomerController.java + | +- CustomerService.java + | +- CustomerRepository.java + | + +- order + +- Order.java + +- OrderController.java + +- OrderService.java + +- OrderRepository.java + +``` + +The `Application.java` file would declare the `main` method, along with the basic `@Configuration`, as follows: + +``` +package com.example.myapplication; + +import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration; +import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan; +import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; + +@Configuration +@EnableAutoConfiguration +@ComponentScan +public class Application { + + public static void main(String[] args) { + SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); + } + +} + +``` + +## 15. Configuration Classes + +Spring Boot favors Java-based configuration. Although it is possible to use `SpringApplication` with XML sources, we generally recommend that your primary source be a single `@Configuration` class. Usually the class that defines the `main` method is a good candidate as the primary `@Configuration`. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Many Spring configuration examples have been published on the Internet that use XML configuration. If possible, always try to use the equivalent Java-based configuration. Searching for `Enable*` annotations can be a good starting point. | + +## 15.1 Importing Additional Configuration Classes + +You need not put all your `@Configuration` into a single class. The `@Import` annotation can be used to import additional configuration classes. Alternatively, you can use `@ComponentScan` to automatically pick up all Spring components, including `@Configuration` classes. + +## 15.2 Importing XML Configuration + +If you absolutely must use XML based configuration, we recommend that you still start with a `@Configuration` class. You can then use an `@ImportResource`annotation to load XML configuration files. + +## 16. Auto-configuration + +Spring Boot auto-configuration attempts to automatically configure your Spring application based on the jar dependencies that you have added. For example, if `HSQLDB`is on your classpath, and you have not manually configured any database connection beans, then Spring Boot auto-configures an in-memory database. + +You need to opt-in to auto-configuration by adding the `@EnableAutoConfiguration` or `@SpringBootApplication` annotations to one of your `@Configuration` classes. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You should only ever add one `@EnableAutoConfiguration` annotation. We generally recommend that you add it to your primary `@Configuration`class. | + +## 16.1 Gradually Replacing Auto-configuration + +Auto-configuration is non-invasive. At any point, you can start to define your own configuration to replace specific parts of the auto-configuration. For example, if you add your own `DataSource` bean, the default embedded database support backs away. + +If you need to find out what auto-configuration is currently being applied, and why, start your application with the `--debug` switch. Doing so enables debug logs for a selection of core loggers and logs a conditions report to the console. + +## 16.2 Disabling Specific Auto-configuration Classes + +If you find that specific auto-configuration classes that you do not want are being applied, you can use the exclude attribute of `@EnableAutoConfiguration` to disable them, as shown in the following example: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.*; +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.*; +import org.springframework.context.annotation.*; + +@Configuration +@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class}) +public class MyConfiguration { +} + +``` + +If the class is not on the classpath, you can use the `excludeName` attribute of the annotation and specify the fully qualified name instead. Finally, you can also control the list of auto-configuration classes to exclude by using the `spring.autoconfigure.exclude` property. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can define exclusions both at the annotation level and by using the property. | + +## 17. Spring Beans and Dependency Injection + +You are free to use any of the standard Spring Framework techniques to define your beans and their injected dependencies. For simplicity, we often find that using`@ComponentScan` (to find your beans) and using `@Autowired` (to do constructor injection) works well. + +If you structure your code as suggested above (locating your application class in a root package), you can add `@ComponentScan` without any arguments. All of your application components (`@Component`, `@Service`, `@Repository`, `@Controller` etc.) are automatically registered as Spring Beans. + +The following example shows a `@Service` Bean that uses constructor injection to obtain a required `RiskAssessor` bean: + +``` +package com.example.service; + +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; +import org.springframework.stereotype.Service; + +@Service +public class DatabaseAccountService implements AccountService { + + private final RiskAssessor riskAssessor; + + @Autowired + public DatabaseAccountService(RiskAssessor riskAssessor) { + this.riskAssessor = riskAssessor; + } + + // ... + +} + +``` + +If a bean has one constructor, you can omit the `@Autowired`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Service +public class DatabaseAccountService implements AccountService { + + private final RiskAssessor riskAssessor; + + public DatabaseAccountService(RiskAssessor riskAssessor) { + this.riskAssessor = riskAssessor; + } + + // ... + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Notice how using constructor injection lets the `riskAssessor` field be marked as `final`, indicating that it cannot be subsequently changed. | + +## 18. Using the @SpringBootApplication Annotation + +Many Spring Boot developers always have their main class annotated with `@Configuration`, `@EnableAutoConfiguration`, and `@ComponentScan`. Since these annotations are so frequently used together (especially if you follow the [best practices](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-structuring-your-code) above), Spring Boot provides a convenient `@SpringBootApplication`alternative. + +The `@SpringBootApplication` annotation is equivalent to using `@Configuration`, `@EnableAutoConfiguration`, and `@ComponentScan` with their default attributes, as shown in the following example: + +``` +package com.example.myapplication; + +import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; + +@SpringBootApplication // same as @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @ComponentScan +public class Application { + + public static void main(String[] args) { + SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `@SpringBootApplication` also provides aliases to customize the attributes of `@EnableAutoConfiguration` and `@ComponentScan`. | + +## 19. Running Your Application + +One of the biggest advantages of packaging your application as a jar and using an embedded HTTP server is that you can run your application as you would any other. Debugging Spring Boot applications is also easy. You do not need any special IDE plugins or extensions. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| This section only covers jar based packaging. If you choose to package your application as a war file, you should refer to your server and IDE documentation. | + +## 19.1 Running from an IDE + +You can run a Spring Boot application from your IDE as a simple Java application. However, you first need to import your project. Import steps vary depending on your IDE and build system. Most IDEs can import Maven projects directly. For example, Eclipse users can select `Import…` → `Existing Maven Projects` from the `File` menu. + +If you cannot directly import your project into your IDE, you may be able to generate IDE metadata by using a build plugin. Maven includes plugins for [Eclipse](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/) and [IDEA](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-idea-plugin/). Gradle offers plugins for [various IDEs](https://docs.gradle.org/4.2.1/userguide/userguide.html). + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you accidentally run a web application twice, you see a “Port already in use” error. STS users can use the `Relaunch` button rather than the `Run` button to ensure that any existing instance is closed. | + +## 19.2 Running as a Packaged Application + +If you use the Spring Boot Maven or Gradle plugins to create an executable jar, you can run your application using `java -jar`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ java -jar target/myapplication-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + +``` + +It is also possible to run a packaged application with remote debugging support enabled. Doing so lets you attach a debugger to your packaged application, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=8000,suspend=n \ + -jar target/myapplication-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + +``` + +## 19.3 Using the Maven Plugin + +The Spring Boot Maven plugin includes a `run` goal that can be used to quickly compile and run your application. Applications run in an exploded form, as they do in your IDE. The following example shows a typical Maven command to run a Spring Boot application: + +``` +$ mvn spring-boot:run + +``` + +You might also want to use the `MAVEN_OPTS` operating system environment variable, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m + +``` + +## 19.4 Using the Gradle Plugin + +The Spring Boot Gradle plugin also includes a `bootRun` task that can be used to run your application in an exploded form. The `bootRun` task is added whenever you apply the `org.springframework.boot` and `java` plugins and is shown in the following example: + +``` +$ gradle bootRun + +``` + +You might also want to use the `JAVA_OPTS` operating system environment variable, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ export JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m + +``` + +## 19.5 Hot Swapping + +Since Spring Boot applications are just plain Java applications, JVM hot-swapping should work out of the box. JVM hot swapping is somewhat limited with the bytecode that it can replace. For a more complete solution, [JRebel](https://zeroturnaround.com/software/jrebel/) can be used. + +The `spring-boot-devtools` module also includes support for quick application restarts. See the [Chapter 20, *Developer Tools*](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools) section later in this chapter and the[Hot swapping “How-to”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-hotswapping) for details. + +## 20. Developer Tools + +Spring Boot includes an additional set of tools that can make the application development experience a little more pleasant. The `spring-boot-devtools` module can be included in any project to provide additional development-time features. To include devtools support, add the module dependency to your build, as shown in the following listings for Maven and Gradle: + +**Maven.** + +``` + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-devtools + true + + + +``` + + + +**Gradle.** + +``` +dependencies { + compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools") +} + +``` + + + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Developer tools are automatically disabled when running a fully packaged application. If your application is launched from `java -jar` or if it is started from a special classloader, then it is considered a “production application”. Flagging the dependency as optional is a best practice that prevents devtools from being transitively applied to other modules that use your project. Gradle does not support `optional` dependencies out-of-the-box, so you may want to have a look at the [`propdeps-plugin`](https://github.com/spring-projects/gradle-plugins/tree/master/propdeps-plugin). | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Repackaged archives do not contain devtools by default. If you want to use a [certain remote devtools feature](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-remote), you need to disable the `excludeDevtools`build property to include it. The property is supported with both the Maven and Gradle plugins. | + +## 20.1 Property Defaults + +Several of the libraries supported by Spring Boot use caches to improve performance. For example, [template engines](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-mvc-template-engines) cache compiled templates to avoid repeatedly parsing template files. Also, Spring MVC can add HTTP caching headers to responses when serving static resources. + +While caching is very beneficial in production, it can be counter-productive during development, preventing you from seeing the changes you just made in your application. For this reason, spring-boot-devtools disables the caching options by default. + +Cache options are usually configured by settings in your `application.properties` file. For example, Thymeleaf offers the `spring.thymeleaf.cache` property. Rather than needing to set these properties manually, the `spring-boot-devtools` module automatically applies sensible development-time configuration. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| For a complete list of the properties that are applied by the devtools, see [DevToolsPropertyDefaultsPostProcessor](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-devtools/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/devtools/env/DevToolsPropertyDefaultsPostProcessor.java). | + +## 20.2 Automatic Restart + +Applications that use `spring-boot-devtools` automatically restart whenever files on the classpath change. This can be a useful feature when working in an IDE, as it gives a very fast feedback loop for code changes. By default, any entry on the classpath that points to a folder is monitored for changes. Note that certain resources, such as static assets and view templates, [do not need to restart the application](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-restart-exclude). + +**Triggering a restart** + +As DevTools monitors classpath resources, the only way to trigger a restart is to update the classpath. The way in which you cause the classpath to be updated depends on the IDE that you are using. In Eclipse, saving a modified file causes the classpath to be updated and triggers a restart. In IntelliJ IDEA, building the project (`Build -> Make Project`) has the same effect. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| As long as forking is enabled, you can also start your application by using the supported build plugins (Maven and Gradle), since DevTools needs an isolated application classloader to operate properly. By default, Gradle and Maven do that when they detect DevTools on the classpath. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Automatic restart works very well when used with LiveReload. [See the LiveReload section](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-livereload) for details. If you use JRebel, automatic restarts are disabled in favor of dynamic class reloading. Other devtools features (such as LiveReload and property overrides) can still be used. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| DevTools relies on the application context’s shutdown hook to close it during a restart. It does not work correctly if you have disabled the shutdown hook (`SpringApplication.setRegisterShutdownHook(false)`). | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| When deciding if an entry on the classpath should trigger a restart when it changes, DevTools automatically ignores projects named `spring-boot`,`spring-boot-devtools`, `spring-boot-autoconfigure`, `spring-boot-actuator`, and `spring-boot-starter`. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| DevTools needs to customize the `ResourceLoader` used by the `ApplicationContext`. If your application provides one already, it is going to be wrapped. Direct override of the `getResource` method on the `ApplicationContext` is not supported. | + + + +**Restart vs Reload** + +The restart technology provided by Spring Boot works by using two classloaders. Classes that do not change (for example, those from third-party jars) are loaded into a *base* classloader. Classes that you are actively developing are loaded into a *restart* classloader. When the application is restarted, the *restart* classloader is thrown away and a new one is created. This approach means that application restarts are typically much faster than “cold starts”, since the *base* classloader is already available and populated. + +If you find that restarts are not quick enough for your applications or you encounter classloading issues, you could consider reloading technologies such as [JRebel](https://zeroturnaround.com/software/jrebel/)from ZeroTurnaround. These work by rewriting classes as they are loaded to make them more amenable to reloading. + +### 20.2.1 Logging changes in condition evaluation + +By default, each time your application restarts, a report showing the condition evaluation delta is logged. The report shows the changes to your application’s auto-configuration as you make changes such as adding or removing beans and setting configuration properties. + +To disable the logging of the report, set the following property: + +``` +spring.devtools.restart.log-condition-evaluation-delta=false + +``` + +### 20.2.2 Excluding Resources + +Certain resources do not necessarily need to trigger a restart when they are changed. For example, Thymeleaf templates can be edited in-place. By default, changing resources in `/META-INF/maven`, `/META-INF/resources`, `/resources`, `/static`, `/public`, or `/templates` does not trigger a restart but does trigger a [live reload](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-livereload). If you want to customize these exclusions, you can use the `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` property. For example, to exclude only `/static` and `/public` you would set the following property: + +``` +spring.devtools.restart.exclude=static/**,public/** + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you want to keep those defaults and *add* additional exclusions, use the `spring.devtools.restart.additional-exclude` property instead. | + +### 20.2.3 Watching Additional Paths + +You may want your application to be restarted or reloaded when you make changes to files that are not on the classpath. To do so, use the`spring.devtools.restart.additional-paths` property to configure additional paths to watch for changes. You can use the `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` property [described earlier](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-restart-exclude) to control whether changes beneath the additional paths trigger a full restart or a [live reload](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-livereload). + +### 20.2.4 Disabling Restart + +If you do not want to use the restart feature, you can disable it by using the `spring.devtools.restart.enabled` property. In most cases, you can set this property in your `application.properties` (doing so still initializes the restart classloader, but it does not watch for file changes). + +If you need to *completely* disable restart support (for example, because it does not work with a specific library), you need to set the `spring.devtools.restart.enabled` `System` property to `false` before calling `SpringApplication.run(…)`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public static void main(String[] args) { + System.setProperty("spring.devtools.restart.enabled", "false"); + SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class, args); +} + +``` + +### 20.2.5 Using a Trigger File + +If you work with an IDE that continuously compiles changed files, you might prefer to trigger restarts only at specific times. To do so, you can use a “trigger file”, which is a special file that must be modified when you want to actually trigger a restart check. Changing the file only triggers the check and the restart only occurs if Devtools has detected it has to do something. The trigger file can be updated manually or with an IDE plugin. + +To use a trigger file, set the `spring.devtools.restart.trigger-file` property to the path of your trigger file. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You might want to set `spring.devtools.restart.trigger-file` as a [global setting](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-globalsettings), so that all your projects behave in the same way. | + +### 20.2.6 Customizing the Restart Classloader + +As described earlier in the [Restart vs Reload](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-spring-boot-restart-vs-reload) section, restart functionality is implemented by using two classloaders. For most applications, this approach works well. However, it can sometimes cause classloading issues. + +By default, any open project in your IDE is loaded with the “restart” classloader, and any regular `.jar` file is loaded with the “base” classloader. If you work on a multi-module project, and not every module is imported into your IDE, you may need to customize things. To do so, you can create a `META-INF/spring-devtools.properties` file. + +The `spring-devtools.properties` file can contain properties prefixed with `restart.exclude` and `restart.include`. The `include` elements are items that should be pulled up into the “restart” classloader, and the `exclude` elements are items that should be pushed down into the “base” classloader. The value of the property is a regex pattern that is applied to the classpath, as shown in the following example: + +``` +restart.exclude.companycommonlibs=/mycorp-common-[\\w-]+\.jar +restart.include.projectcommon=/mycorp-myproj-[\\w-]+\.jar + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| All property keys must be unique. As long as a property starts with `restart.include.` or `restart.exclude.` it is considered. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| All `META-INF/spring-devtools.properties` from the classpath are loaded. You can package files inside your project, or in the libraries that the project consumes. | + +### 20.2.7 Known Limitations + +Restart functionality does not work well with objects that are deserialized by using a standard `ObjectInputStream`. If you need to deserialize data, you may need to use Spring’s `ConfigurableObjectInputStream` in combination with `Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()`. + +Unfortunately, several third-party libraries deserialize without considering the context classloader. If you find such a problem, you need to request a fix with the original authors. + +## 20.3 LiveReload + +The `spring-boot-devtools` module includes an embedded LiveReload server that can be used to trigger a browser refresh when a resource is changed. LiveReload browser extensions are freely available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari from [livereload.com](https://livereload.com/extensions/). + +If you do not want to start the LiveReload server when your application runs, you can set the `spring.devtools.livereload.enabled` property to `false`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can only run one LiveReload server at a time. Before starting your application, ensure that no other LiveReload servers are running. If you start multiple applications from your IDE, only the first has LiveReload support. | + +## 20.4 Global Settings + +You can configure global devtools settings by adding a file named `.spring-boot-devtools.properties` to your `$HOME` folder (note that the filename starts with “.”). Any properties added to this file apply to *all* Spring Boot applications on your machine that use devtools. For example, to configure restart to always use a [trigger file](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-restart-triggerfile), you would add the following property: + +**~/.spring-boot-devtools.properties.** + +``` +spring.devtools.reload.trigger-file=.reloadtrigger + +``` + + + +## 20.5 Remote Applications + +The Spring Boot developer tools are not limited to local development. You can also use several features when running applications remotely. Remote support is opt-in. To enable it, you need to make sure that `devtools` is included in the repackaged archive, as shown in the following listing: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + false + + + + + +``` + +Then you need to set a `spring.devtools.remote.secret` property, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.devtools.remote.secret=mysecret + +``` + +| ![[Warning]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/warning.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Enabling `spring-boot-devtools` on a remote application is a security risk. You should never enable support on a production deployment. | + +Remote devtools support is provided in two parts: a server-side endpoint that accepts connections and a client application that you run in your IDE. The server component is automatically enabled when the `spring.devtools.remote.secret` property is set. The client component must be launched manually. + +### 20.5.1 Running the Remote Client Application + +The remote client application is designed to be run from within your IDE. You need to run `org.springframework.boot.devtools.RemoteSpringApplication`with the same classpath as the remote project that you connect to.

SpringApplication + +The `SpringApplication` class provides a convenient way to bootstrap a Spring application that is started from a `main()` method. In many situations, you can delegate to the static `SpringApplication.run` method, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public static void main(String[] args) { + SpringApplication.run(MySpringConfiguration.class, args); +} + +``` + +When your application starts, you should see something similar to the following output: + +``` + . ____ _ __ _ _ + /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ +( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \ + \\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) ) + ' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / / + =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/ + :: Spring Boot :: v2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + +2013-07-31 00:08:16.117 INFO 56603 --- [ main] o.s.b.s.app.SampleApplication : Starting SampleApplication v0.1.0 on mycomputer with PID 56603 (/apps/myapp.jar started by pwebb) +2013-07-31 00:08:16.166 INFO 56603 --- [ main] ationConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext : Refreshing org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.context.AnnotationConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext@6e5a8246: startup date [Wed Jul 31 00:08:16 PDT 2013]; root of context hierarchy +2014-03-04 13:09:54.912 INFO 41370 --- [ main] .t.TomcatServletWebServerFactory : Server initialized with port: 8080 +2014-03-04 13:09:56.501 INFO 41370 --- [ main] o.s.b.s.app.SampleApplication : Started SampleApplication in 2.992 seconds (JVM running for 3.658) + +``` + +By default, `INFO` logging messages are shown, including some relevant startup details, such as the user that launched the application.

If the file has an encoding other than UTF-8, you can set `spring.banner.charset`. In addition to a text file, you can also add a `banner.gif`, `banner.jpg`, or `banner.png` image file to your classpath or set the `spring.banner.image.location` property. Images are converted into an ASCII art representation and printed above any text banner. + +Inside your `banner.txt` file, you can use any of the following placeholders: + + + +**Table 23.1. Banner variables** + +| Variable | Description | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `${application.version}` | The version number of your application, as declared in `MANIFEST.MF`.

You can register them with the `SpringApplication.addListeners(…)` method or the `SpringApplicationBuilder.listeners(…)` method.If you want those listeners to be registered automatically, regardless of the way the application is created, you can add a `META-INF/spring.factories`file to your project and reference your listener(s) by using the `org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener` key, as shown in the following example:`org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener=com.example.project.MyListener` | + +Application events are sent in the following order, as your application runs: + +1. An `ApplicationStartingEvent` is sent at the start of a run but before any processing, except for the registration of listeners and initializers. +2. An `ApplicationEnvironmentPreparedEvent` is sent when the `Environment` to be used in the context is known but before the context is created. +3. An `ApplicationPreparedEvent` is sent just before the refresh is started but after bean definitions have been loaded. +4. An `ApplicationStartedEvent` is sent after the context has been refreshed but before any application and command-line runners have been called. +5. An `ApplicationReadyEvent` is sent after any application and command-line runners have been called. It indicates that the application is ready to service requests. +6. An `ApplicationFailedEvent` is sent if there is an exception on startup. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You often need not use application events, but it can be handy to know that they exist. Internally, Spring Boot uses events to handle a variety of tasks. | + +Application events are sent by using Spring Framework’s event publishing mechanism. Part of this mechanism ensures that an event published to the listeners in a child context is also published to the listeners in any ancestor contexts. As a result of this, if your application uses a hierarchy of `SpringApplication` instances, a listener may receive multiple instances of the same type of application event. + +To allow your listener to distinguish between an event for its context and an event for a descendant context, it should request that its application context is injected and then compare the injected context with the context of the event. The context can be injected by implementing `ApplicationContextAware` or, if the listener is a bean, by using `@Autowired`. + +## 23.6 Web Environment + +A `SpringApplication` attempts to create the right type of `ApplicationContext` on your behalf. By default, an `AnnotationConfigApplicationContext` or`AnnotationConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext` is used, depending on whether you are developing a web application or not. + +The algorithm used to determine a “web environment” is fairly simplistic (it is based on the presence of a few classes). If you need to override the default, you can use`setWebEnvironment(boolean webEnvironment)`. + +It is also possible to take complete control of the `ApplicationContext` type that is used by calling `setApplicationContextClass(…)`. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| It is often desirable to call `setWebEnvironment(false)` when using `SpringApplication` within a JUnit test. | + +## 23.7 Accessing Application Arguments + +If you need to access the application arguments that were passed to `SpringApplication.run(…)`, you can inject a`org.springframework.boot.ApplicationArguments` bean. The `ApplicationArguments` interface provides access to both the raw `String[]` arguments as well as parsed `option` and `non-option` arguments, as shown in the following example: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.* +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.* +import org.springframework.stereotype.* + +@Component +public class MyBean { + + @Autowired + public MyBean(ApplicationArguments args) { + boolean debug = args.containsOption("debug"); + List files = args.getNonOptionArgs(); + // if run with "--debug logfile.txt" debug=true, files=["logfile.txt"] + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Spring Boot also registers a `CommandLinePropertySource` with the Spring `Environment`. This lets you also inject single application arguments by using the `@Value` annotation. | + +## 23.8 Using the ApplicationRunner or CommandLineRunner + +If you need to run some specific code once the `SpringApplication` has started, you can implement the `ApplicationRunner` or `CommandLineRunner`interfaces. Both interfaces work in the same way and offer a single `run` method, which is called just before `SpringApplication.run(…)` completes. + +The `CommandLineRunner` interfaces provides access to application arguments as a simple string array, whereas the `ApplicationRunner` uses the `ApplicationArguments` interface discussed earlier. The following example shows a `CommandLineRunner` with a `run` method: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.* +import org.springframework.stereotype.* + +@Component +public class MyBean implements CommandLineRunner { + + public void run(String... args) { + // Do something... + } + +} + +``` + +If several `CommandLineRunner` or `ApplicationRunner` beans are defined that must be called in a specific order, you can additionally implement the`org.springframework.core.Ordered` interface or use the `org.springframework.core.annotation.Order` annotation. + +## 23.9 Application Exit + +Each `SpringApplication` registers a shutdown hook with the JVM to ensure that the `ApplicationContext` closes gracefully on exit. All the standard Spring lifecycle callbacks (such as the `DisposableBean` interface or the `@PreDestroy` annotation) can be used. + +In addition, beans may implement the `org.springframework.boot.ExitCodeGenerator` interface if they wish to return a specific exit code when `SpringApplication.exit()` is called. This exit code can then be passed to `System.exit()` to return it as a status code, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@SpringBootApplication +public class ExitCodeApplication { + + @Bean + public ExitCodeGenerator exitCodeGenerator() { + return () -> 42; + } + + public static void main(String[] args) { + System.exit(SpringApplication + .exit(SpringApplication.run(ExitCodeApplication.class, args))); + } + +} + +``` + +Also, the `ExitCodeGenerator` interface may be implemented by exceptions. When such an exception is encountered, Spring Boot returns the exit code provided by the implemented `getExitCode()` method. + +## 23.10 Admin Features + +It is possible to enable admin-related features for the application by specifying the `spring.application.admin.enabled` property. This exposes the[`SpringApplicationAdminMXBean`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/admin/SpringApplicationAdminMXBean.java) on the platform `MBeanServer`. You could use this feature to administer your Spring Boot application remotely.

Externalized Configuration + +Spring Boot lets you externalize your configuration so that you can work with the same application code in different environments. You can use properties files, YAML files, environment variables, and command-line arguments to externalize configuration. Property values can be injected directly into your beans by using the `@Value`annotation, accessed through Spring’s `Environment` abstraction, or be [bound to structured objects](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-typesafe-configuration-properties) through `@ConfigurationProperties`. + +Spring Boot uses a very particular `PropertySource` order that is designed to allow sensible overriding of values. Properties are considered in the following order: + +1.

When running in a new environment, an `application.properties` file can be provided outside of your jar that overrides the `name`. For one-off testing, you can launch with a specific command line switch (for example, `java -jar app.jar --name="Spring"`). + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON` properties can be supplied on the command line with an environment variable. For example, you could use the following line in a UN*X shell:`$ SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON='{"acme":{"name":"test"}}' java -jar myapp.jar`In the preceding example, you end up with `acme.name=test` in the Spring `Environment`. You can also supply the JSON as `spring.application.json` in a System property, as shown in the following example:`$ java -Dspring.application.json='{"name":"test"}' -jar myapp.jar`You can also supply the JSON by using a command line argument, as shown in the following example:`$ java -jar myapp.jar --spring.application.json='{"name":"test"}'`You can also supply the JSON as a JNDI variable, as follows: `java:comp/env/spring.application.json`. | + +## 24.1 Configuring Random Values + +The `RandomValuePropertySource` is useful for injecting random values (for example, into secrets or test cases). It can produce integers, longs, uuids, or strings, as shown in the following example: + +``` +my.secret=${random.value} +my.number=${random.int} +my.bignumber=${random.long} +my.uuid=${random.uuid} +my.number.less.than.ten=${random.int(10)} +my.number.in.range=${random.int[1024,65536]} + +``` + +The `random.int*` syntax is `OPEN value (,max) CLOSE` where the `OPEN,CLOSE` are any character and `value,max` are integers. If `max` is provided, then `value` is the minimum value and `max` is the maximum value (exclusive). + +## 24.2 Accessing Command Line Properties + +By default, `SpringApplication` converts any command line option arguments (that is, arguments starting with `--`, such as `--server.port=9000`) to a `property` and adds them to the Spring `Environment`. As mentioned previously, command line properties always take precedence over other property sources. + +If you do not want command line properties to be added to the `Environment`, you can disable them by using `SpringApplication.setAddCommandLineProperties(false)`. + +## 24.3 Application Property Files + +`SpringApplication` loads properties from `application.properties` files in the following locations and adds them to the Spring `Environment`: + +1.

The `YamlPropertiesFactoryBean` loads YAML as `Properties`and the `YamlMapFactoryBean` loads YAML as a `Map`. + +For example, consider the following YAML document: + +``` +environments: + dev: + url: http://dev.example.com + name: Developer Setup + prod: + url: http://another.example.com + name: My Cool App + +``` + +The preceding example would be transformed into the following properties: + +``` +environments.dev.url=http://dev.example.com +environments.dev.name=Developer Setup +environments.prod.url=http://another.example.com +environments.prod.name=My Cool App + +``` + +YAML lists are represented as property keys with `[index]` dereferencers. For example, consider the following YAML: + +``` +my: +servers: + - dev.example.com + - another.example.com + +``` + +The preceding example would be transformed into these properties: + +``` +my.servers[0]=dev.example.com +my.servers[1]=another.example.com + +``` + +To bind to properties like that by using the Spring `DataBinder` utilities (which is what `@ConfigurationProperties` does), you need to have a property in the target bean of type `java.util.List` (or `Set`) and you either need to provide a setter or initialize it with a mutable value. For example, the following example binds to the properties shown previously: + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="my") +public class Config { + + private List servers = new ArrayList(); + + public List getServers() { + return this.servers; + } +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| When lists are configured in more than one place, overriding works by replacing the entire list. In the preceding example, when `my.servers` is defined in several places, the entire list from the `PropertySource` with higher precedence overrides any other configuration for that list. Both comma-separated lists and YAML lists can be used for completely overriding the contents of the list. | + +### 24.6.2 Exposing YAML as Properties in the Spring Environment + +The `YamlPropertySourceLoader` class can be used to expose YAML as a `PropertySource` in the Spring `Environment`. Doing so lets you use the `@Value`annotation with placeholders syntax to access YAML properties. + +### 24.6.3 Multi-profile YAML Documents + +You can specify multiple profile-specific YAML documents in a single file by using a `spring.profiles` key to indicate when the document applies, as shown in the following example: + +``` +server: + address: 192.168.1.100 +--- +spring: + profiles: development +server: + address: 127.0.0.1 +--- +spring: + profiles: production +server: + address: 192.168.1.120 + +``` + +In the preceding example, if the `development` profile is active, the `server.address` property is `127.0.0.1`. Similarly, if the `production` profile is active, the`server.address` property is `192.168.1.120`. If the `development` and `production` profiles are **not** enabled, then the value for the property is `192.168.1.100`. + +If none are explicitly active when the application context starts, the default profiles are activated. So, in the following YAML, we set a value for `spring.security.user.password` that is available **only** in the "default" profile: + +``` +server: + port: 8000 +--- +spring: + profiles: default + security: + user: + password: weak + +``` + +Whereas, in the following example, the password is always set because it is not attached to any profile, and it would have to be explicitly reset in all other profiles as necessary: + +``` +server: + port: 8000 +spring: + security: + user: + password: weak + +``` + +Spring profiles designated by using the `spring.profiles` element may optionally be negated by using the `!` character. If both negated and non-negated profiles are specified for a single document, at least one non-negated profile must match, and no negated profiles may match. + +### 24.6.4 YAML Shortcomings + +YAML files cannot be loaded by using the `@PropertySource` annotation. So, in the case that you need to load values that way, you need to use a properties file. + +### 24.6.5 Merging YAML Lists + +As [we showed earlier](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-loading-yaml), any YAML content is ultimately transformed to properties. That process may be counter-intuitive when overriding “list” properties through a profile. + +For example, assume a `MyPojo` object with `name` and `description` attributes that are `null` by default. The following example exposes a list of `MyPojo` objects from `AcmeProperties`: + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties("acme") +public class AcmeProperties { + + private final List list = new ArrayList<>(); + + public List getList() { + return this.list; + } + +} + +``` + +Consider the following configuration: + +``` +acme: + list: + - name: my name + description: my description +--- +spring: + profiles: dev +acme: + list: + - name: my another name + +``` + +If the `dev` profile is not active, `AcmeProperties.list` contains one `MyPojo` entry, as previously defined. If the `dev` profile is enabled, however, the `list` *still*contains only one entry (with a name of `my another name` and a description of `null`). This configuration *does not* add a second `MyPojo` instance to the list, and it does not merge the items. + +When a collection is specified in multiple profiles, the one with the highest priority (and only that one) is used. Consider the following example: + +``` +acme: + list: + - name: my name + description: my description + - name: another name + description: another description +--- +spring: + profiles: dev +acme: + list: + - name: my another name + +``` + +In the preceding example, if the `dev` profile is active, `AcmeProperties.list` contains *one* `MyPojo` entry (with a name of `my another name` and a description of `null`). + +## 24.7 Type-safe Configuration Properties + +Using the `@Value("${property}")` annotation to inject configuration properties can sometimes be cumbersome, especially if you are working with multiple properties or your data is hierarchical in nature. Spring Boot provides an alternative method of working with properties that lets strongly typed beans govern and validate the configuration of your application, as shown in the following example: + +``` +package com.example; + +import java.net.InetAddress; +import java.util.ArrayList; +import java.util.Collections; +import java.util.List; + +import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties; + +@ConfigurationProperties("acme") +public class AcmeProperties { + + private boolean enabled; + + private InetAddress remoteAddress; + + private final Security security = new Security(); + + public boolean isEnabled() { ... } + + public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) { ... } + + public InetAddress getRemoteAddress() { ... } + + public void setRemoteAddress(InetAddress remoteAddress) { ... } + + public Security getSecurity() { ... } + + public static class Security { + + private String username; + + private String password; + + private List roles = new ArrayList<>(Collections.singleton("USER")); + + public String getUsername() { ... } + + public void setUsername(String username) { ... } + + public String getPassword() { ... } + + public void setPassword(String password) { ... } + + public List getRoles() { ... } + + public void setRoles(List roles) { ... } + + } +} + +``` + +The preceding POJO defines the following properties: + +- `acme.enabled`, with a value of `false` by default. +- `acme.remote-address`, with a type that can be coerced from `String`. +- `acme.security.username`, with a nested "security" object whose name is determined by the name of the property. In particular, the return type is not used at all there and could have been `SecurityProperties`. +- `acme.security.password`. +- `acme.security.roles`, with a collection of `String`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Getters and setters are usually mandatory, since binding is through standard Java Beans property descriptors, just like in Spring MVC. A setter may be omitted in the following cases:Maps, as long as they are initialized, need a getter but not necessarily a setter, since they can be mutated by the binder.Collections and arrays can be accessed either through an index (typically with YAML) or by using a single comma-separated value (properties). In the latter case, a setter is mandatory. We recommend to always add a setter for such types. If you initialize a collection, make sure it is not immutable (as in the preceding example).If nested POJO properties are initialized (like the `Security` field in the preceding example), a setter is not required. If you want the binder to create the instance on the fly by using its default constructor, you need a setter.Some people use Project Lombok to add getters and setters automatically. Make sure that Lombok does not generate any particular constructor for such a type, as it is used automatically by the container to instantiate the object. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See also the [differences between `@Value` and `@ConfigurationProperties`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-vs-value). | + +You also need to list the properties classes to register in the `@EnableConfigurationProperties` annotation, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +@EnableConfigurationProperties(AcmeProperties.class) +public class MyConfiguration { +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| When the `@ConfigurationProperties` bean is registered that way, the bean has a conventional name: `-`, where `` is the environment key prefix specified in the `@ConfigurationProperties` annotation and `` is the fully qualified name of the bean.

These are: + +- `ns` for nanoseconds +- `ms` for milliseconds +- `s` for seconds +- `m` for minutes +- `h` for hours +- `d` for days + +The default unit is milliseconds and can be overridden using `@DefaultUnit` as illustrated in the sample above. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you are upgrading from a previous version that is simply using `Long` to express the duration, make sure to define the unit (using `@DefaultUnit`) if it isn’t milliseconds alongside the switch to `Duration`. Doing so gives a transparent upgrade path while supporting a much richer format. | + +### 24.7.4 @ConfigurationProperties Validation + +Spring Boot attempts to validate `@ConfigurationProperties` classes whenever they are annotated with Spring’s `@Validated` annotation. You can use JSR-303 `javax.validation` constraint annotations directly on your configuration class. To do so, ensure that a compliant JSR-303 implementation is on your classpath and then add constraint annotations to your fields, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="acme") +@Validated +public class AcmeProperties { + + @NotNull + private InetAddress remoteAddress; + + // ... getters and setters + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can also trigger validation by annotating the `@Bean` method that creates the configuration properties with `@Validated`. | + +Although nested properties will also be validated when bound, it’s good practice to also annotate the associated field as `@Valid`. This ensure that validation is triggered even if no nested properties are found. The following example builds on the preceding `AcmeProperties` example: + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="acme") +@Validated +public class AcmeProperties { + + @NotNull + private InetAddress remoteAddress; + + @Valid + private final Security security = new Security(); + + // ... getters and setters + + public static class Security { + + @NotEmpty + public String username; + + // ... getters and setters + + } + +} + +``` + +You can also add a custom Spring `Validator` by creating a bean definition called `configurationPropertiesValidator`. The `@Bean` method should be declared `static`. The configuration properties validator is created very early in the application’s lifecycle, and declaring the `@Bean` method as static lets the bean be created without having to instantiate the `@Configuration` class. Doing so avoids any problems that may be caused by early instantiation. There is a [property validation sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-property-validation) that shows how to set things up. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `spring-boot-actuator` module includes an endpoint that exposes all `@ConfigurationProperties` beans. Point your web browser to`/actuator/configprops` or use the equivalent JMX endpoint. See the "[Production ready features](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-endpoints)" section for details. | + +### 24.7.5 @ConfigurationProperties vs. @Value + +The `@Value` annotation is a core container feature, and it does not provide the same features as type-safe configuration properties. The following table summarizes the features that are supported by `@ConfigurationProperties` and `@Value`: + +| Feature | `@ConfigurationProperties` | `@Value` | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | -------- | +| [Relaxed binding](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-relaxed-binding) | Yes | No | +| [Meta-data support](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#configuration-metadata) | Yes | No | +| `SpEL` evaluation | No | Yes | + +If you define a set of configuration keys for your own components, we recommend you group them in a POJO annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`. You should also be aware that, since `@Value` does not support relaxed binding, it is not a good candidate if you need to provide the value by using environment variables. + +Finally, while you can write a `SpEL` expression in `@Value`, such expressions are not processed from [application property files](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-application-property-files). + +## 25. Profiles + +Spring Profiles provide a way to segregate parts of your application configuration and make it be available only in certain environments. Any `@Component` or `@Configuration` can be marked with `@Profile` to limit when it is loaded, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +@Profile("production") +public class ProductionConfiguration { + + // ... + +} + +``` + +You can use a `spring.profiles.active` `Environment` property to specify which profiles are active. You can specify the property in any of the ways described earlier in this chapter. For example, you could include it in your `application.properties`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.profiles.active=dev,hsqldb + +``` + +You could also specify it on the command line by using the following switch: `--spring.profiles.active=dev,hsqldb`. + +## 25.1 Adding Active Profiles + +The `spring.profiles.active` property follows the same ordering rules as other properties: The highest `PropertySource` wins. This means that you can specify active profiles in `application.properties` and then **replace** them by using the command line switch. + +Sometimes, it is useful to have profile-specific properties that **add** to the active profiles rather than replace them. The `spring.profiles.include` property can be used to unconditionally add active profiles. The `SpringApplication` entry point also has a Java API for setting additional profiles (that is, on top of those activated by the `spring.profiles.active` property). See the `setAdditionalProfiles()` method in [SpringApplication](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/SpringApplication.html). + +For example, when an application with the following properties is run by using the switch, `--spring.profiles.active=prod`, the `proddb` and `prodmq` profiles are also activated: + +``` +--- +my.property: fromyamlfile +--- +spring.profiles: prod +spring.profiles.include: + - proddb + - prodmq + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Remember that the `spring.profiles` property can be defined in a YAML document to determine when this particular document is included in the configuration. See [Section 74.7, “Change Configuration Depending on the Environment”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-change-configuration-depending-on-the-environment) for more details. | + +## 25.2 Programmatically Setting Profiles + +You can programmatically set active profiles by calling `SpringApplication.setAdditionalProfiles(…)` before your application runs. It is also possible to activate profiles by using Spring’s `ConfigurableEnvironment` interface. + +## 25.3 Profile-specific Configuration Files + +Profile-specific variants of both `application.properties` (or `application.yml`) and files referenced through `@ConfigurationProperties` are considered as files and loaded. See "[Section 24.4, “Profile-specific Properties”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-profile-specific-properties)" for details. + +## 26. Logging + +Spring Boot uses [Commons Logging](https://commons.apache.org/logging) for all internal logging but leaves the underlying log implementation open. Default configurations are provided for [Java Util Logging](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api//java/util/logging/package-summary.html), [Log4J2](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/), and [Logback](http://logback.qos.ch/). In each case, loggers are pre-configured to use console output with optional file output also available. + +By default, if you use the “Starters”, Logback is used for logging. Appropriate Logback routing is also included to ensure that dependent libraries that use Java Util Logging, Commons Logging, Log4J, or SLF4J all work correctly. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| There are a lot of logging frameworks available for Java. Do not worry if the above list seems confusing. Generally, you do not need to change your logging dependencies and the Spring Boot defaults work just fine. | + +## 26.1 Log Format + +The default log output from Spring Boot resembles the following example: + +``` +2014-03-05 10:57:51.112 INFO 45469 --- [ main] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine : Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/7.0.52 +2014-03-05 10:57:51.253 INFO 45469 --- [ost-startStop-1] o.a.c.c.C.[Tomcat].[localhost].[/] : Initializing Spring embedded WebApplicationContext +2014-03-05 10:57:51.253 INFO 45469 --- [ost-startStop-1] o.s.web.context.ContextLoader : Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in 1358 ms +2014-03-05 10:57:51.698 INFO 45469 --- [ost-startStop-1] o.s.b.c.e.ServletRegistrationBean : Mapping servlet: 'dispatcherServlet' to [/] +2014-03-05 10:57:51.702 INFO 45469 --- [ost-startStop-1] o.s.b.c.embedded.FilterRegistrationBean : Mapping filter: 'hiddenHttpMethodFilter' to: [/*] + +``` + +The following items are output: + +- Date and Time: Millisecond precision and easily sortable. +- Log Level: `ERROR`, `WARN`, `INFO`, `DEBUG`, or `TRACE`. +- Process ID. +- A `---` separator to distinguish the start of actual log messages. +- Thread name: Enclosed in square brackets (may be truncated for console output). +- Logger name: This is usually the source class name (often abbreviated). +- The log message. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Logback does not have a `FATAL` level. It is mapped to `ERROR`. | + +## 26.2 Console Output + +The default log configuration echoes messages to the console as they are written. By default, `ERROR`-level, `WARN`-level, and `INFO`-level messages are logged. You can also enable a “debug” mode by starting your application with a `--debug` flag. + +``` +$ java -jar myapp.jar --debug + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can also specify `debug=true` in your `application.properties`. | + +When the debug mode is enabled, a selection of core loggers (embedded container, Hibernate, and Spring Boot) are configured to output more information. Enabling the debug mode does *not* configure your application to log all messages with `DEBUG` level. + +Alternatively, you can enable a “trace” mode by starting your application with a `--trace` flag (or `trace=true` in your `application.properties`). Doing so enables trace logging for a selection of core loggers (embedded container, Hibernate schema generation, and the whole Spring portfolio). + +### 26.2.1 Color-coded Output + +If your terminal supports ANSI, color output is used to aid readability. You can set `spring.output.ansi.enabled` to a [supported value](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/ansi/AnsiOutput.Enabled.html) to override the auto detection. + +Color coding is configured by using the `%clr` conversion word. In its simplest form, the converter colors the output according to the log level, as shown in the following example: + +``` +%clr(%5p) + +``` + +The following table describes the mapping of log levels to colors: + +| Level | Color | +| ------- | ------ | +| `FATAL` | Red | +| `ERROR` | Red | +| `WARN` | Yellow | +| `INFO` | Green | +| `DEBUG` | Green | +| `TRACE` | Green | + +Alternatively, you can specify the color or style that should be used by providing it as an option to the conversion. For example, to make the text yellow, use the following setting: + +``` +%clr(%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}){yellow} + +``` + +The following colors and styles are supported: + +- `blue` +- `cyan` +- `faint` +- `green` +- `magenta` +- `red` +- `yellow` + +## 26.3 File Output + +By default, Spring Boot logs only to the console and does not write log files. If you want to write log files in addition to the console output, you need to set a`logging.file` or `logging.path` property (for example, in your `application.properties`). + +The following table shows how the `logging.*` properties can be used together: + + + +**Table 26.1. Logging properties** + +| `logging.file` | `logging.path` | Example | Description | +| -------------- | ------------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| *(none)* | *(none)* | | Console only logging. | +| Specific file | *(none)* | `my.log` | Writes to the specified log file.

Names can be an exact location or relative to the current directory. | + +Log files rotate when they reach 10 MB and, as with console output, `ERROR`-level, `WARN`-level, and `INFO`-level messages are logged by default. Size limits can be changed using the `logging.file.max-size` property. Previously rotated files are archived indefinitely unless the `logging.file.max-history` property has been set. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The logging system is initialized early in the application lifecycle.

The `root` logger can be configured by using `logging.level.root`. + +The following example shows potential logging settings in `application.properties`: + +``` +logging.level.root=WARN +logging.level.org.springframework.web=DEBUG +logging.level.org.hibernate=ERROR + +``` + +## 26.5 Custom Log Configuration + +The various logging systems can be activated by including the appropriate libraries on the classpath and can be further customized by providing a suitable configuration file in the root of the classpath or in a location specified by the following Spring `Environment` property: `logging.config`. + +You can force Spring Boot to use a particular logging system by using the `org.springframework.boot.logging.LoggingSystem` system property. The value should be the fully qualified class name of a `LoggingSystem` implementation. You can also disable Spring Boot’s logging configuration entirely by using a value of `none`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Since logging is initialized **before** the `ApplicationContext` is created, it is not possible to control logging from `@PropertySources` in Spring `@Configuration` files.

The following listing shows three sample profiles: + +``` + + + + + + + + + + + + +``` + +### 26.6.2 Environment Properties + +The `` tag lets you expose properties from the Spring `Environment` for use within Logback. Doing so can be useful if you want to access values from your `application.properties` file in your Logback configuration. The tag works in a similar way to Logback’s standard `` tag. However, rather than specifying a direct `value`, you specify the `source` of the property (from the `Environment`). If you need to store the property somewhere other than in `local`scope, you can use the `scope` attribute. If you need a fallback value (in case the property is not set in the `Environment`), you can use the `defaultValue` attribute. The following example shows how to expose properties for use within Logback: + +``` + + + ${fluentHost} + ... + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `source` must be specified in kebab case (such as `my.property-name`). However, properties can be added to the `Environment` by using the relaxed rules. | + +## 27. Developing Web Applications + +Spring Boot is well suited for web application development. You can create a self-contained HTTP server by using embedded Tomcat, Jetty, Undertow, or Netty. Most web applications use the `spring-boot-starter-web` module to get up and running quickly. You can also choose to build reactive web applications by using the`spring-boot-starter-webflux` module. + +If you have not yet developed a Spring Boot web application, you can follow the "Hello World!" example in the *Getting started* section. + +## 27.1 The “Spring Web MVC Framework” + +The [Spring Web MVC framework](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc) (often referred to as simply “Spring MVC”) is a rich “model view controller” web framework. Spring MVC lets you create special `@Controller` or `@RestController` beans to handle incoming HTTP requests. Methods in your controller are mapped to HTTP by using `@RequestMapping`annotations. + +The following code shows a typical `@RestController` that serves JSON data: + +``` +@RestController +@RequestMapping(value="/users") +public class MyRestController { + + @RequestMapping(value="/{user}", method=RequestMethod.GET) + public User getUser(@PathVariable Long user) { + // ... + } + + @RequestMapping(value="/{user}/customers", method=RequestMethod.GET) + List getUserCustomers(@PathVariable Long user) { + // ... + } + + @RequestMapping(value="/{user}", method=RequestMethod.DELETE) + public User deleteUser(@PathVariable Long user) { + // ... + } + +} + +``` + +Spring MVC is part of the core Spring Framework, and detailed information is available in the [reference documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc). There are also several guides that cover Spring MVC available at [spring.io/guides](https://spring.io/guides). + +### 27.1.1 Spring MVC Auto-configuration + +Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for Spring MVC that works well with most applications. + +The auto-configuration adds the following features on top of Spring’s defaults: + +- Inclusion of `ContentNegotiatingViewResolver` and `BeanNameViewResolver` beans. +- Support for serving static resources, including support for WebJars (covered [later in this document](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-mvc-static-content))). +- Automatic registration of `Converter`, `GenericConverter`, and `Formatter` beans. +- Support for `HttpMessageConverters` (covered [later in this document](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-mvc-message-converters)). +- Automatic registration of `MessageCodesResolver` (covered [later in this document](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-message-codes)). +- Static `index.html` support. +- Custom `Favicon` support (covered [later in this document](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-mvc-favicon)). +- Automatic use of a `ConfigurableWebBindingInitializer` bean (covered [later in this document](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-mvc-web-binding-initializer)). + +If you want to keep Spring Boot MVC features and you want to add additional [MVC configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc) (interceptors, formatters, view controllers, and other features), you can add your own `@Configuration` class of type `WebMvcConfigurer` but **without** `@EnableWebMvc`. If you wish to provide custom instances of `RequestMappingHandlerMapping`, `RequestMappingHandlerAdapter`, or `ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver`, you can declare a `WebMvcRegistrationsAdapter` instance to provide such components. + +If you want to take complete control of Spring MVC, you can add your own `@Configuration` annotated with `@EnableWebMvc`. + +### 27.1.2 HttpMessageConverters + +Spring MVC uses the `HttpMessageConverter` interface to convert HTTP requests and responses. Sensible defaults are included out of the box. For example, objects can be automatically converted to JSON (by using the Jackson library) or XML (by using the Jackson XML extension, if available, or by using JAXB if the Jackson XML extension is not available). By default, strings are encoded in `UTF-8`. + +If you need to add or customize converters, you can use Spring Boot’s `HttpMessageConverters` class, as shown in the following listing: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.HttpMessageConverters; +import org.springframework.context.annotation.*; +import org.springframework.http.converter.*; + +@Configuration +public class MyConfiguration { + + @Bean + public HttpMessageConverters customConverters() { + HttpMessageConverter additional = ... + HttpMessageConverter another = ... + return new HttpMessageConverters(additional, another); + } + +} + +``` + +Any `HttpMessageConverter` bean that is present in the context is added to the list of converters. You can also override default converters in the same way. + +### 27.1.3 Custom JSON Serializers and Deserializers + +If you use Jackson to serialize and deserialize JSON data, you might want to write your own `JsonSerializer` and `JsonDeserializer` classes. Custom serializers are usually [registered with Jackson through a module](http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonHowToCustomDeserializers), but Spring Boot provides an alternative `@JsonComponent` annotation that makes it easier to directly register Spring Beans. + +You can use the `@JsonComponent` annotation directly on `JsonSerializer` or `JsonDeserializer` implementations. You can also use it on classes that contain serializers/deserializers as inner classes, as shown in the following example: + +``` +import java.io.*; +import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.*; +import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*; +import org.springframework.boot.jackson.*; + +@JsonComponent +public class Example { + + public static class Serializer extends JsonSerializer { + // ... + } + + public static class Deserializer extends JsonDeserializer { + // ... + } + +} + +``` + +All `@JsonComponent` beans in the `ApplicationContext` are automatically registered with Jackson. Because `@JsonComponent` is meta-annotated with `@Component`, the usual component-scanning rules apply. + +Spring Boot also provides [`JsonObjectSerializer`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/jackson/JsonObjectSerializer.java) and [`JsonObjectDeserializer`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/jackson/JsonObjectDeserializer.java) base classes that provide useful alternatives to the standard Jackson versions when serializing objects. See [`JsonObjectSerializer`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/jackson/JsonObjectSerializer.html) and [`JsonObjectDeserializer`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/jackson/JsonObjectDeserializer.html) in the Javadoc for details. + +### 27.1.4 MessageCodesResolver + +Spring MVC has a strategy for generating error codes for rendering error messages from binding errors: `MessageCodesResolver`. If you set the`spring.mvc.message-codes-resolver.format` property `PREFIX_ERROR_CODE` or `POSTFIX_ERROR_CODE`, Spring Boot creates one for you (see the enumeration in [`DefaultMessageCodesResolver.Format`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/validation/DefaultMessageCodesResolver.Format.html)). + +### 27.1.5 Static Content + +By default, Spring Boot serves static content from a directory called `/static` (or `/public` or `/resources` or `/META-INF/resources`) in the classpath or from the root of the `ServletContext`. It uses the `ResourceHttpRequestHandler` from Spring MVC so that you can modify that behavior by adding your own `WebMvcConfigurer` and overriding the `addResourceHandlers` method. + +In a stand-alone web application, the default servlet from the container is also enabled and acts as a fallback, serving content from the root of the `ServletContext` if Spring decides not to handle it. Most of the time, this does not happen (unless you modify the default MVC configuration), because Spring can always handle requests through the `DispatcherServlet`. + +By default, resources are mapped on `/**`, but you can tune that with the `spring.mvc.static-path-pattern` property. For instance, relocating all resources to`/resources/**` can be achieved as follows: + +``` +spring.mvc.static-path-pattern=/resources/** + +``` + +You can also customize the static resource locations by using the `spring.resources.static-locations` property (replacing the default values with a list of directory locations). The root Servlet context path, `"/"`, is automatically added as a location as well. + +In addition to the “standard” static resource locations mentioned earlier, a special case is made for [Webjars content](http://www.webjars.org/). Any resources with a path in `/webjars/**` are served from jar files if they are packaged in the Webjars format. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Do not use the `src/main/webapp` directory if your application is packaged as a jar. Although this directory is a common standard, it works **only** with war packaging, and it is silently ignored by most build tools if you generate a jar. | + +Spring Boot also supports the advanced resource handling features provided by Spring MVC, allowing use cases such as cache-busting static resources or using version agnostic URLs for Webjars. + +To use version agnostic URLs for Webjars, add the `webjars-locator-core` dependency. Then declare your Webjar. Using jQuery as an example, adding`"/webjars/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"` results in `"/webjars/jquery/x.y.z/dist/jquery.min.js"`. where `x.y.z` is the Webjar version. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you use JBoss, you need to declare the `webjars-locator-jboss-vfs` dependency instead of the `webjars-locator-core`. Otherwise, all Webjars resolve as a `404`. | + +To use cache busting, the following configuration configures a cache busting solution for all static resources, effectively adding a content hash, such as``, in URLs: + +``` +spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.enabled=true +spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.paths=/** + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Links to resources are rewritten in templates at runtime, thanks to a `ResourceUrlEncodingFilter` that is auto-configured for Thymeleaf and FreeMarker. You should manually declare this filter when using JSPs. Other template engines are currently not automatically supported but can be with custom template macros/helpers and the use of the [`ResourceUrlProvider`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/servlet/resource/ResourceUrlProvider.html). | + +When loading resources dynamically with, for example, a JavaScript module loader, renaming files is not an option. That is why other strategies are also supported and can be combined. A "fixed" strategy adds a static version string in the URL without changing the file name, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.enabled=true +spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.paths=/** +spring.resources.chain.strategy.fixed.enabled=true +spring.resources.chain.strategy.fixed.paths=/js/lib/ +spring.resources.chain.strategy.fixed.version=v12 + +``` + +With this configuration, JavaScript modules located under `"/js/lib/"` use a fixed versioning strategy (`"/v12/js/lib/mymodule.js"`), while other resources still use the content one (``). + +See [`ResourceProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ResourceProperties.java) for more supported options. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| This feature has been thoroughly described in a dedicated [blog post](https://spring.io/blog/2014/07/24/spring-framework-4-1-handling-static-web-resources) and in Spring Framework’s [reference documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc-config-static-resources). | + +### 27.1.6 Welcome Page + +Spring Boot supports both static and templated welcome pages. It first looks for an `index.html` file in the configured static content locations. If one is not found, it then looks for an `index` template. If either is found, it is automatically used as the welcome page of the application. + +### 27.1.7 Custom Favicon + +Spring Boot looks for a `favicon.ico` in the configured static content locations and the root of the classpath (in that order). If such a file is present, it is automatically used as the favicon of the application. + +### 27.1.8 Path Matching and Content Negotiation + +Spring MVC can map incoming HTTP requests to handlers by looking at the request path and matching it to the mappings defined in your application (for example, `@GetMapping` annotations on Controller methods). + +Spring Boot chooses to disable suffix pattern matching by default, which means that requests like `"GET /projects/spring-boot.json"` won’t be matched to`@GetMapping("/projects/spring-boot")` mappings. This is considered as a [best practice for Spring MVC applications](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc-ann-requestmapping-suffix-pattern-match). This feature was mainly useful in the past for HTTP clients which did not send proper "Accept" request headers; we needed to make sure to send the correct Content Type to the client. Nowadays, Content Negotiation is much more reliable. + +There are other ways to deal with HTTP clients that don’t consistently send proper "Accept" request headers. Instead of using suffix matching, we can use a query parameter to ensure that requests like `"GET /projects/spring-boot?format=json"` will be mapped to `@GetMapping("/projects/spring-boot")`: + +``` +spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.favor-parameter=true + +# We can change the parameter name, which is "format" by default: +# spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.parameter-name=myparam + +# We can also register additional file extensions/media types with: +spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.media-types.markdown=text/markdown + +``` + +If you understand the caveats and would still like your application to use suffix pattern matching, the following configuration is required: + +``` +spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.favor-path-extension=true + +# You can also restrict that feature to known extensions only +# spring.mvc.pathmatch.use-registered-suffix-pattern=true + +# We can also register additional file extensions/media types with: +# spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.media-types.adoc=text/asciidoc + +``` + +### 27.1.9 ConfigurableWebBindingInitializer + +Spring MVC uses a `WebBindingInitializer` to initialize a `WebDataBinder` for a particular request. If you create your own `ConfigurableWebBindingInitializer` `@Bean`, Spring Boot automatically configures Spring MVC to use it. + +### 27.1.10 Template Engines + +As well as REST web services, you can also use Spring MVC to serve dynamic HTML content. Spring MVC supports a variety of templating technologies, including Thymeleaf, FreeMarker, and JSPs. Also, many other templating engines include their own Spring MVC integrations. + +Spring Boot includes auto-configuration support for the following templating engines: + +- [FreeMarker](https://freemarker.org/docs/) +- [Groovy](http://docs.groovy-lang.org/docs/next/html/documentation/template-engines.html#_the_markuptemplateengine) +- [Thymeleaf](http://www.thymeleaf.org/) +- [Mustache](https://mustache.github.io/) + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If possible, JSPs should be avoided. There are several [known limitations](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-jsp-limitations) when using them with embedded servlet containers. | + +When you use one of these templating engines with the default configuration, your templates are picked up automatically from `src/main/resources/templates`. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Depending on how you run your application, IntelliJ IDEA orders the classpath differently. Running your application in the IDE from its main method results in a different ordering than when you run your application by using Maven or Gradle or from its packaged jar. This can cause Spring Boot to fail to find the templates on the classpath. If you have this problem, you can reorder the classpath in the IDE to place the module’s classes and resources first. Alternatively, you can configure the template prefix to search every `templates` directory on the classpath, as follows: `classpath*:/templates/`. | + +### 27.1.11 Error Handling + +By default, Spring Boot provides an `/error` mapping that handles all errors in a sensible way, and it is registered as a “global” error page in the servlet container. For machine clients, it produces a JSON response with details of the error, the HTTP status, and the exception message. For browser clients, there is a “whitelabel” error view that renders the same data in HTML format (to customize it, add a `View` that resolves to `error`). To replace the default behavior completely, you can implement`ErrorController` and register a bean definition of that type or add a bean of type `ErrorAttributes` to use the existing mechanism but replace the contents. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `BasicErrorController` can be used as a base class for a custom `ErrorController`. This is particularly useful if you want to add a handler for a new content type (the default is to handle `text/html` specifically and provide a fallback for everything else). To do so, extend `BasicErrorController`, add a public method with a `@RequestMapping` that has a `produces` attribute, and create a bean of your new type. | + +You can also define a class annotated with `@ControllerAdvice` to customize the JSON document to return for a particular controller and/or exception type, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@ControllerAdvice(basePackageClasses = AcmeController.class) +public class AcmeControllerAdvice extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler { + + @ExceptionHandler(YourException.class) + @ResponseBody + ResponseEntity handleControllerException(HttpServletRequest request, Throwable ex) { + HttpStatus status = getStatus(request); + return new ResponseEntity<>(new CustomErrorType(status.value(), ex.getMessage()), status); + } + + private HttpStatus getStatus(HttpServletRequest request) { + Integer statusCode = (Integer) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.error.status_code"); + if (statusCode == null) { + return HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR; + } + return HttpStatus.valueOf(statusCode); + } + +} + +``` + +In the preceding example, if `YourException` is thrown by a controller defined in the same package as `AcmeController`, a JSON representation of the `CustomErrorType` POJO is used instead of the `ErrorAttributes` representation. + +#### Custom Error Pages + +If you want to display a custom HTML error page for a given status code, you can add a file to an `/error` folder. Error pages can either be static HTML (that is, added under any of the static resource folders) or be built by using templates. The name of the file should be the exact status code or a series mask. + +For example, to map `404` to a static HTML file, your folder structure would be as follows: + +``` +src/ + +- main/ + +- java/ + | + + +- resources/ + +- public/ + +- error/ + | +- 404.html + +- + +``` + +To map all `5xx` errors by using a FreeMarker template, your folder structure would be as follows: + +``` +src/ + +- main/ + +- java/ + | + + +- resources/ + +- templates/ + +- error/ + | +- 5xx.ftl + +- + +``` + +For more complex mappings, you can also add beans that implement the `ErrorViewResolver` interface, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public class MyErrorViewResolver implements ErrorViewResolver { + + @Override + public ModelAndView resolveErrorView(HttpServletRequest request, + HttpStatus status, Map model) { + // Use the request or status to optionally return a ModelAndView + return ... + } + +} + +``` + +You can also use regular Spring MVC features such as [`@ExceptionHandler` methods](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc-exceptionhandlers) and [`@ControllerAdvice`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#mvc-ann-controller-advice). The `ErrorController` then picks up any unhandled exceptions. + +#### Mapping Error Pages outside of Spring MVC + +For applications that do not use Spring MVC, you can use the `ErrorPageRegistrar` interface to directly register `ErrorPages`. This abstraction works directly with the underlying embedded servlet container and works even if you do not have a Spring MVC `DispatcherServlet`. + +``` +@Bean +public ErrorPageRegistrar errorPageRegistrar(){ + return new MyErrorPageRegistrar(); +} + +// ... + +private static class MyErrorPageRegistrar implements ErrorPageRegistrar { + + @Override + public void registerErrorPages(ErrorPageRegistry registry) { + registry.addErrorPages(new ErrorPage(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, "/400")); + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you register an `ErrorPage` with a path that ends up being handled by a `Filter` (as is common with some non-Spring web frameworks, like Jersey and Wicket), then the `Filter` has to be explicitly registered as an `ERROR` dispatcher, as shown in the following example: | + +``` +@Bean +public FilterRegistrationBean myFilter() { + FilterRegistrationBean registration = new FilterRegistrationBean(); + registration.setFilter(new MyFilter()); + ... + registration.setDispatcherTypes(EnumSet.allOf(DispatcherType.class)); + return registration; +} + +``` + +Note that the default `FilterRegistrationBean` does not include the `ERROR` dispatcher type. + +CAUTION:When deployed to a servlet container, Spring Boot uses its error page filter to forward a request with an error status to the appropriate error page. The request can only be forwarded to the correct error page if the response has not already been committed. By default, WebSphere Application Server 8.0 and later commits the response upon successful completion of a servlet’s service method. You should disable this behavior by setting`com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokeFlushAfterService` to `false`. + +### 27.1.12 Spring HATEOAS + +If you develop a RESTful API that makes use of hypermedia, Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for Spring HATEOAS that works well with most applications. The auto-configuration replaces the need to use `@EnableHypermediaSupport` and registers a number of beans to ease building hypermedia-based applications, including a `LinkDiscoverers` (for client side support) and an `ObjectMapper` configured to correctly marshal responses into the desired representation. The `ObjectMapper`is customized by setting the various `spring.jackson.*` properties or, if one exists, by a `Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder` bean. + +You can take control of Spring HATEOAS’s configuration by using `@EnableHypermediaSupport`. Note that doing so disables the `ObjectMapper` customization described earlier. + +### 27.1.13 CORS Support + +[Cross-origin resource sharing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing) (CORS) is a [W3C specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/) implemented by [most browsers](https://caniuse.com/#feat=cors) that lets you specify in a flexible way what kind of cross-domain requests are authorized, instead of using some less secure and less powerful approaches such as IFRAME or JSONP. + +As of version 4.2, Spring MVC [supports CORS](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#cors). Using [controller method CORS configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#controller-method-cors-configuration) with [`@CrossOrigin`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/bind/annotation/CrossOrigin.html) annotations in your Spring Boot application does not require any specific configuration. [Global CORS configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#global-cors-configuration) can be defined by registering a `WebMvcConfigurer` bean with a customized`addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry)` method, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +public class MyConfiguration { + + @Bean + public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() { + return new WebMvcConfigurer() { + @Override + public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) { + registry.addMapping("/api/**"); + } + }; + } +} + +``` + +## 27.2 The “Spring WebFlux Framework” + +Spring WebFlux is the new reactive web framework introduced in Spring Framework 5.0. Unlike Spring MVC, it does not require the Servlet API, is fully asynchronous and non-blocking, and implements the [Reactive Streams](http://www.reactive-streams.org/) specification through [the Reactor project](https://projectreactor.io/). + +Spring WebFlux comes in two flavors: functional and annotation-based. The annotation-based one is quite close to the Spring MVC model, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@RestController +@RequestMapping("/users") +public class MyRestController { + + @GetMapping("/{user}") + public Mono getUser(@PathVariable Long user) { + // ... + } + + @GetMapping("/{user}/customers") + public Flux getUserCustomers(@PathVariable Long user) { + // ... + } + + @DeleteMapping("/{user}") + public Mono deleteUser(@PathVariable Long user) { + // ... + } + +} + +``` + +“WebFlux.fn”, the functional variant, separates the routing configuration from the actual handling of the requests, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +public class RoutingConfiguration { + + @Bean + public RouterFunction monoRouterFunction(UserHandler userHandler) { + return route(GET("/{user}").and(accept(APPLICATION_JSON)), userHandler::getUser) + .andRoute(GET("/{user}/customers").and(accept(APPLICATION_JSON)), userHandler::getUserCustomers) + .andRoute(DELETE("/{user}").and(accept(APPLICATION_JSON)), userHandler::deleteUser); + } + +} + +@Component +public class UserHandler { + + public Mono getUser(ServerRequest request) { + // ... + } + + public Mono getUserCustomers(ServerRequest request) { + // ... + } + + public Mono deleteUser(ServerRequest request) { + // ... + } +} + +``` + +WebFlux is part of the Spring Framework and detailed information is available in its [reference documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web-reactive.html#webflux-fn). + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can define as many `RouterFunction` beans as you like to modularize the definition of the router. Beans can be ordered if you need to apply a precedence. | + +To get started, add the `spring-boot-starter-webflux` module to your application. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Adding both `spring-boot-starter-web` and `spring-boot-starter-webflux` modules in your application results in Spring Boot auto-configuring Spring MVC, not WebFlux. This behavior has been chosen because many Spring developers add `spring-boot-starter-webflux` to their Spring MVC application to use the reactive `WebClient`. You can still enforce your choice by setting the chosen application type to`SpringApplication.setWebApplicationType(WebApplicationType.REACTIVE)`. | + +### 27.2.1 Spring WebFlux Auto-configuration + +Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for Spring WebFlux that works well with most applications. + +The auto-configuration adds the following features on top of Spring’s defaults: + +- Configuring codecs for `HttpMessageReader` and `HttpMessageWriter` instances (described [later in this document](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-webflux-httpcodecs)). +- Support for serving static resources, including support for WebJars (described [later in this document](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-mvc-static-content)). + +If you want to keep Spring Boot WebFlux features and you want to add additional [WebFlux configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#web-reactive), you can add your own `@Configuration` class of type `WebFluxConfigurer` but **without** `@EnableWebFlux`. + +If you want to take complete control of Spring WebFlux, you can add your own `@Configuration` annotated with `@EnableWebFlux`. + +### 27.2.2 HTTP Codecs with HttpMessageReaders and HttpMessageWriters + +Spring WebFlux uses the `HttpMessageReader` and `HttpMessageWriter` interfaces to convert HTTP requests and responses. They are configured with `CodecConfigurer` to have sensible defaults by looking at the libraries available in your classpath. + +Spring Boot applies further customization by using `CodecCustomizer` instances. For example, `spring.jackson.*` configuration keys are applied to the Jackson codec. + +If you need to add or customize codecs, you can create a custom `CodecCustomizer` component, as shown in the following example: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.web.codec.CodecCustomizer; + +@Configuration +public class MyConfiguration { + + @Bean + public CodecCustomizer myCodecCustomizer() { + return codecConfigurer -> { + // ... + } + } + +} + +``` + +You can also leverage [Boot’s custom JSON serializers and deserializers](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-json-components). + +### 27.2.3 Static Content + +By default, Spring Boot serves static content from a directory called `/static` (or `/public` or `/resources` or `/META-INF/resources`) in the classpath. It uses the `ResourceWebHandler` from Spring WebFlux so that you can modify that behavior by adding your own `WebFluxConfigurer` and overriding the `addResourceHandlers` method. + +By default, resources are mapped on `/**`, but you can tune that by setting the `spring.webflux.static-path-pattern` property. For instance, relocating all resources to `/resources/**` can be achieved as follows: + +``` +spring.webflux.static-path-pattern=/resources/** + +``` + +You can also customize the static resource locations by using `spring.resources.static-locations`. Doing so replaces the default values with a list of directory locations. If you do so, the default welcome page detection switches to your custom locations. So, if there is an `index.html` in any of your locations on startup, it is the home page of the application. + +In addition to the “standard” static resource locations listed earlier, a special case is made for [Webjars content](http://www.webjars.org/). Any resources with a path in `/webjars/**` are served from jar files if they are packaged in the Webjars format. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Spring WebFlux applications do not strictly depend on the Servlet API, so they cannot be deployed as war files and do not use the `src/main/webapp`directory. | + +### 27.2.4 Template Engines + +As well as REST web services, you can also use Spring WebFlux to serve dynamic HTML content. Spring WebFlux supports a variety of templating technologies, including Thymeleaf, FreeMarker, and Mustache. + +Spring Boot includes auto-configuration support for the following templating engines: + +- [FreeMarker](http://freemarker.org/docs/) +- [Thymeleaf](http://www.thymeleaf.org/) +- [Mustache](https://mustache.github.io/) + +When you use one of these templating engines with the default configuration, your templates are picked up automatically from `src/main/resources/templates`. + +### 27.2.5 Error Handling + +Spring Boot provides a `WebExceptionHandler` that handles all errors in a sensible way. Its position in the processing order is immediately before the handlers provided by WebFlux, which are considered last. For machine clients, it produces a JSON response with details of the error, the HTTP status, and the exception message. For browser clients, there is a “whitelabel” error handler that renders the same data in HTML format. You can also provide your own HTML templates to display errors (see the [next section](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-webflux-error-handling-custom-error-pages)). + +The first step to customizing this feature often involves using the existing mechanism but replacing or augmenting the error contents. For that, you can add a bean of type`ErrorAttributes`. + +To change the error handling behavior, you can implement `ErrorWebExceptionHandler` and register a bean definition of that type. Because a `WebExceptionHandler` is quite low-level, Spring Boot also provides a convenient `AbstractErrorWebExceptionHandler` to let you handle errors in a WebFlux functional way, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public class CustomErrorWebExceptionHandler extends AbstractErrorWebExceptionHandler { + + // Define constructor here + + @Override + protected RouterFunction getRoutingFunction(ErrorAttributes errorAttributes) { + + return RouterFunctions + .route(aPredicate, aHandler) + .andRoute(anotherPredicate, anotherHandler); + } + +} + +``` + +For a more complete picture, you can also subclass `DefaultErrorWebExceptionHandler` directly and override specific methods. + +#### Custom Error Pages + +If you want to display a custom HTML error page for a given status code, you can add a file to an `/error` folder. Error pages can either be static HTML (that is, added under any of the static resource folders) or built with templates. The name of the file should be the exact status code or a series mask. + +For example, to map `404` to a static HTML file, your folder structure would be as follows: + +``` +src/ + +- main/ + +- java/ + | + + +- resources/ + +- public/ + +- error/ + | +- 404.html + +- + +``` + +To map all `5xx` errors by using a Mustache template, your folder structure would be as follows: + +``` +src/ + +- main/ + +- java/ + | + + +- resources/ + +- templates/ + +- error/ + | +- 5xx.mustache + +- + +``` + +### 27.2.6 Web Filters + +Spring WebFlux provides a `WebFilter` interface that can be implemented to filter HTTP request-response exchanges. `WebFilter` beans found in the application context will be automatically used to filter each exchange. + +Where the order of the filters is important they can implement `Ordered` or be annotated with `@Order`. Spring Boot auto-configuration may configure web filters for you. When it does so, the orders shown in the following table will be used: + +| Web Filter | Order | +| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | +| `MetricsWebFilter` | `Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE + 1` | +| `WebFilterChainProxy` (Spring Security) | `-100` | +| `HttpTraceWebFilter` | `Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE - 10` | + +## 27.3 JAX-RS and Jersey + +If you prefer the JAX-RS programming model for REST endpoints, you can use one of the available implementations instead of Spring MVC. [Jersey](https://jersey.github.io/) 1.x and [Apache CXF](https://cxf.apache.org/)work quite well out of the box if you register their `Servlet` or `Filter` as a `@Bean` in your application context. Jersey 2.x has some native Spring support, so we also provide auto-configuration support for it in Spring Boot, together with a starter. + +To get started with Jersey 2.x, include the `spring-boot-starter-jersey` as a dependency and then you need one `@Bean` of type `ResourceConfig` in which you register all the endpoints, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Component +public class JerseyConfig extends ResourceConfig { + + public JerseyConfig() { + register(Endpoint.class); + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Warning]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/warning.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Jersey’s support for scanning executable archives is rather limited. For example, it cannot scan for endpoints in a package found in `WEB-INF/classes`when running an executable war file. To avoid this limitation, the `packages` method should not be used, and endpoints should be registered individually by using the `register` method, as shown in the preceding example. | + +For more advanced customizations, you can also register an arbitrary number of beans that implement `ResourceConfigCustomizer`. + +All the registered endpoints should be `@Components` with HTTP resource annotations (`@GET` and others), as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Component +@Path("/hello") +public class Endpoint { + + @GET + public String message() { + return "Hello"; + } + +} + +``` + +Since the `Endpoint` is a Spring `@Component`, its lifecycle is managed by Spring and you can use the `@Autowired` annotation to inject dependencies and use the `@Value` annotation to inject external configuration. By default, the Jersey servlet is registered and mapped to `/*`. You can change the mapping by adding `@ApplicationPath` to your `ResourceConfig`. + +By default, Jersey is set up as a Servlet in a `@Bean` of type `ServletRegistrationBean` named `jerseyServletRegistration`. By default, the servlet is initialized lazily, but you can customize that behavior by setting `spring.jersey.servlet.load-on-startup`. You can disable or override that bean by creating one of your own with the same name. You can also use a filter instead of a servlet by setting `spring.jersey.type=filter` (in which case, the `@Bean` to replace or override is `jerseyFilterRegistration`). The filter has an `@Order`, which you can set with `spring.jersey.filter.order`. Both the servlet and the filter registrations can be given init parameters by using `spring.jersey.init.*` to specify a map of properties. + +There is a [Jersey sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-jersey) so that you can see how to set things up. There is also a [Jersey 1.x sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-jersey1). Note that, in the Jersey 1.x sample, the spring-boot maven plugin has been configured to unpack some Jersey jars so that they can be scanned by the JAX-RS implementation (because the sample asks for them to be scanned in its `Filter` registration). If any of your JAX-RS resources are packaged as nested jars, you may need to do the same. + +## 27.4 Embedded Servlet Container Support + +Spring Boot includes support for embedded [Tomcat](https://tomcat.apache.org/), [Jetty](https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/), and [Undertow](http://undertow.io/) servers. Most developers use the appropriate “Starter” to obtain a fully configured instance. By default, the embedded server listens for HTTP requests on port `8080`. + +| ![[Warning]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/warning.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you choose to use Tomcat on [CentOS](https://www.centos.org/), be aware that, by default, a temporary directory is used to store compiled JSPs, file uploads, and so on. This directory may be deleted by `tmpwatch` while your application is running, leading to failures. To avoid this behavior, you may want to customize your `tmpwatch` configuration such that `tomcat.*` directories are not deleted or configure `server.tomcat.basedir` such that embedded Tomcat uses a different location. | + +### 27.4.1 Servlets, Filters, and listeners + +When using an embedded servlet container, you can register servlets, filters, and all the listeners (such as `HttpSessionListener`) from the Servlet spec, either by using Spring beans or by scanning for Servlet components. + +#### Registering Servlets, Filters, and Listeners as Spring Beans + +Any `Servlet`, `Filter`, or servlet `*Listener` instance that is a Spring bean is registered with the embedded container. This can be particularly convenient if you want to refer to a value from your `application.properties` during configuration. + +By default, if the context contains only a single Servlet, it is mapped to `/`. In the case of multiple servlet beans, the bean name is used as a path prefix. Filters map to`/*`. + +If convention-based mapping is not flexible enough, you can use the `ServletRegistrationBean`, `FilterRegistrationBean`, and`ServletListenerRegistrationBean` classes for complete control. + +Spring Boot ships with many auto-configurations that may define Filter beans. Here are a few examples of Filters and their respective order (lower order value means higher precedence): + +| Servlet Filter | Order | +| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | +| `OrderedCharacterEncodingFilter` | `Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE` | +| `WebMvcMetricsFilter` | `Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE + 1` | +| `ErrorPageFilter` | `Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE + 1` | +| `HttpTraceFilter` | `Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE - 10` | + +It is usually safe to leave Filter beans unordered. + +If a specific order is required, you should avoid configuring a Filter that reads the request body at `Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE`, since it might go against the character encoding configuration of your application. If a Servlet filter wraps the request, it should be configured with an order that is less than or equal to`FilterRegistrationBean.REQUEST_WRAPPER_FILTER_MAX_ORDER`. + +### 27.4.2 Servlet Context Initialization + +Embedded servlet containers do not directly execute the Servlet 3.0+ `javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer` interface or Spring’s`org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer` interface. This is an intentional design decision intended to reduce the risk that third party libraries designed to run inside a war may break Spring Boot applications. + +If you need to perform servlet context initialization in a Spring Boot application, you should register a bean that implements the`org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletContextInitializer` interface. The single `onStartup` method provides access to the `ServletContext` and, if necessary, can easily be used as an adapter to an existing `WebApplicationInitializer`. + +#### Scanning for Servlets, Filters, and listeners + +When using an embedded container, automatic registration of classes annotated with `@WebServlet`, `@WebFilter`, and `@WebListener` can be enabled by using`@ServletComponentScan`. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `@ServletComponentScan` has no effect in a standalone container, where the container’s built-in discovery mechanisms are used instead. | + +### 27.4.3 The ServletWebServerApplicationContext + +Under the hood, Spring Boot uses a different type of `ApplicationContext` for embedded servlet container support. The `ServletWebServerApplicationContext` is a special type of `WebApplicationContext` that bootstraps itself by searching for a single`ServletWebServerFactory` bean. Usually a `TomcatServletWebServerFactory`, `JettyServletWebServerFactory`, or `UndertowServletWebServerFactory` has been auto-configured. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You usually do not need to be aware of these implementation classes. Most applications are auto-configured, and the appropriate `ApplicationContext`and `ServletWebServerFactory` are created on your behalf. | + +### 27.4.4 Customizing Embedded Servlet Containers + +Common servlet container settings can be configured by using Spring `Environment` properties. Usually, you would define the properties in your `application.properties` file. + +Common server settings include: + +- Network settings: Listen port for incoming HTTP requests (`server.port`), interface address to bind to `server.address`, and so on. +- Session settings: Whether the session is persistent (`server.servlet.session.persistence`), session timeout (`server.servlet.session.timeout`), location of session data (`server.servlet.session.store-dir`), and session-cookie configuration (`server.servlet.session.cookie.*`). +- Error management: Location of the error page (`server.error.path`) and so on. +- [SSL](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-configure-ssl) +- [HTTP compression](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#how-to-enable-http-response-compression) + +Spring Boot tries as much as possible to expose common settings, but this is not always possible. For those cases, dedicated namespaces offer server-specific customizations (see `server.tomcat` and `server.undertow`). For instance, [access logs](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-configure-accesslogs) can be configured with specific features of the embedded servlet container. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See the [`ServerProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerProperties.java) class for a complete list. | + +#### Programmatic Customization + +If you need to programmatically configure your embedded servlet container, you can register a Spring bean that implements the `WebServerFactoryCustomizer`interface. `WebServerFactoryCustomizer` provides access to the `ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory`, which includes numerous customization setter methods. Dedicated variants exist for Tomcat, Jetty, and Undertow. The following example shows programmatically setting the port: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.web.server.WebServerFactoryCustomizer; +import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.server.ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory; +import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; + +@Component +public class CustomizationBean implements WebServerFactoryCustomizer { + + @Override + public void customize(ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory server) { + server.setPort(9000); + } + +} + +``` + +#### Customizing ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory Directly + +If the preceding customization techniques are too limited, you can register the `TomcatServletWebServerFactory`, `JettyServletWebServerFactory`, or`UndertowServletWebServerFactory` bean yourself. + +``` +@Bean +public ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory webServerFactory() { + TomcatServletWebServerFactory factory = new TomcatServletWebServerFactory(); + factory.setPort(9000); + factory.setSessionTimeout(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES); + factory.addErrorPages(new ErrorPage(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "/notfound.html")); + return factory; +} + +``` + +Setters are provided for many configuration options. Several protected method “hooks” are also provided should you need to do something more exotic. See the [source code documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/web/servlet/server/ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory.html) for details. + +### 27.4.5 JSP Limitations + +When running a Spring Boot application that uses an embedded servlet container (and is packaged as an executable archive), there are some limitations in the JSP support. + +- With Tomcat, it should work if you use war packaging. That is, an executable war works and is also deployable to a standard container (not limited to, but including Tomcat). An executable jar does not work because of a hard-coded file pattern in Tomcat. +- With Jetty, it should work if you use war packaging. That is, an executable war works, and is also deployable to any standard container. +- Undertow does not support JSPs. +- Creating a custom `error.jsp` page does not override the default view for [error handling](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-error-handling). [Custom error pages](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-error-handling-custom-error-pages) should be used instead. + +There is a [JSP sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-web-jsp) so that you can see how to set things up. + +## 28. Security + +If [Spring Security](https://projects.spring.io/spring-security/) is on the classpath, then web applications are secure by default. Spring Boot relies on Spring Security’s content-negotiation strategy to determine whether to use `httpBasic` or `formLogin`. To add method-level security to a web application, you can also add `@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity` with your desired settings. Additional information can be found in the [Spring Security Reference Guide](https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/5.0.3.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle#jc-method). + +The default `AuthenticationManager` has a single user. The user name is `user`, and the password is random and is printed at INFO level when the application starts, as shown in the following example: + +``` +Using generated security password: 78fa095d-3f4c-48b1-ad50-e24c31d5cf35 + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you fine-tune your logging configuration, ensure that the `org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security` category is set to log `INFO`-level messages. Otherwise, the default password is not printed. | + +You can change the username and password by providing a `spring.security.user.name` and `spring.security.user.password`. + +The basic features you get by default in a web application are: + +- A `UserDetailsService` (or `ReactiveUserDetailsService` in case of a WebFlux application) bean with in-memory store and a single user with a generated password (see [`SecurityProperties.User`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/security/SecurityProperties.User.html) for the properties of the user). +- Form-based login or HTTP Basic security (depending on Content-Type) for the entire application (including actuator endpoints if actuator is on the classpath). +- A `DefaultAuthenticationEventPublisher` for publishing authentication events. + +You can provide a different `AuthenticationEventPublisher` by adding a bean for it. + +## 28.1 MVC Security + +The default security configuration is implemented in `SecurityAutoConfiguration` and in the classes imported from there (`SpringBootWebSecurityConfiguration` for web security and `AuthenticationManagerConfiguration` for authentication configuration, which is also relevant in non-web applications). To switch off the default web application security configuration completely, you can add a bean of type `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter` (doing so does not disable the authentication manager configuration or Actuator’s security). + +To also switch off the authentication manager configuration, you can add a bean of type `UserDetailsService`, `AuthenticationProvider`, or `AuthenticationManager`. There are several secure applications in the [Spring Boot samples](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/) to get you started with common use cases. + +Access rules can be overridden by adding a custom `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter`. Spring Boot provides convenience methods that can be used to override access rules for actuator endpoints and static resources. `EndpointRequest` can be used to create a `RequestMatcher` that is based on the `management.endpoints.web.base-path` property. `PathRequest` can be used to create a `RequestMatcher` for resources in commonly used locations. + +## 28.2 WebFlux Security + +Similar to Spring MVC applications, you can secure your WebFlux applications by adding the `spring-boot-starter-security` dependency. The default security configuration is implemented in `ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration` and in the classes imported from there (`WebFluxSecurityConfiguration` for web security and `ReactiveAuthenticationManagerConfiguration` for authentication configuration, which is also relevant in non-web applications). To switch off the default web application security configuration completely, you can add a bean of type `WebFilterChainProxy` (doing so does not disable the authentication manager configuration or Actuator’s security). + +To also switch off the authentication manager configuration, you can add a bean of type `ReactiveUserDetailsService` or `ReactiveAuthenticationManager`. + +Access rules can be configured by adding a custom `SecurityWebFilterChain`. Spring Boot provides convenience methods that can be used to override access rules for actuator endpoints and static resources. `EndpointRequest` can be used to create a `ServerWebExchangeMatcher` that is based on the `management.endpoints.web.base-path` property. + +`PathRequest` can be used to create a `ServerWebExchangeMatcher` for resources in commonly used locations. + +For example, you can customize your security configuration by adding something like: + +``` +@Bean +public SecurityWebFilterChain springSecurityFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http) { + http + .authorizeExchange() + .matchers(PathRequest.toStaticResources().atCommonLocations()).permitAll() + .pathMatchers("/foo", "/bar") + .authenticated().and() + .formLogin(); + return http.build(); +} + +``` + +## 28.3 OAuth2 + +[OAuth2](https://oauth.net/2/) is a widely used authorization framework that is supported by Spring. + +### 28.3.1 Client + +If you have `spring-security-oauth2-client` on your classpath, you can take advantage of some auto-configuration to make it easy to set up an OAuth2 Client. This configuration makes use of the properties under `OAuth2ClientProperties`. + +You can register multiple OAuth2 clients and providers under the `spring.security.oauth2.client` prefix, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-id=abcd +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-secret=password +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-name=Client for user scope +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.provider=my-oauth-provider +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.scope=user +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.redirect-uri-template=http://my-redirect-uri.com +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-authentication-method=basic +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.authorization-grant-type=authorization_code + +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-id=abcd +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-secret=password +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-name=Client for email scope +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.provider=my-oauth-provider +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.scope=email +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.redirect-uri-template=http://my-redirect-uri.com +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-authentication-method=basic +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.authorization-grant-type=authorization_code + +spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.authorization-uri=http://my-auth-server/oauth/authorize +spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.token-uri=http://my-auth-server/oauth/token +spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.user-info-uri=http://my-auth-server/userinfo +spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.jwk-set-uri=http://my-auth-server/token_keys +spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.user-name-attribute=name + +``` + +By default, Spring Security’s `OAuth2LoginAuthenticationFilter` only processes URLs matching `/login/oauth2/code/*`. If you want to customize the `redirect-uri-template` to use a different pattern, you need to provide configuration to process that custom pattern. For example, you can add your own `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter` that resembles the following: + +``` +public class OAuth2LoginSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { + + @Override + protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { + http + .authorizeRequests() + .anyRequest().authenticated() + .and() + .oauth2Login() + .redirectionEndpoint() + .baseUri("/custom-callback"); + } +} + +``` + +For common OAuth2 and OpenID providers, including Google, Github, Facebook, and Okta, we provide a set of provider defaults (`google`, `github`, `facebook`, and `okta`, respectively). + +If you do not need to customize these providers, you can set the `provider` attribute to the one for which you need to infer defaults. Also, if the ID of your client matches the default supported provider, Spring Boot infers that as well. + +In other words, the two configurations in the following example use the Google provider: + +``` +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client.client-id=abcd +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client.client-secret=password +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client.provider=google + +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-id=abcd +spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-secret=password + +``` + +## 28.4 Actuator Security + +For security purposes, all actuators other than `/health` and `/info` are disabled by default. The `management.endpoints.web.exposure.include` property can be used to enable the actuators. + +If Spring Security is on the classpath and no other WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter is present, the actuators are secured by Spring Boot auto-config. If you define a custom `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter`, Spring Boot auto-config will back off and you will be in full control of actuator access rules. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Before setting the `management.endpoints.web.exposure.include`, ensure that the exposed actuators do not contain sensitive information and/or are secured by placing them behind a firewall or by something like Spring Security. | + +### 28.4.1 Cross Site Request Forgery Protection + +Since Spring Boot relies on Spring Security’s defaults, CSRF protection is turned on by default. This means that the actuator endpoints that require a `POST` (shutdown and loggers endpoints), `PUT` or `DELETE` will get a 403 forbidden error when the default security configuration is in use. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| We recommend disabling CSRF protection completely only if you are creating a service that is used by non-browser clients. | + +Additional information about CSRF protection can be found in the [Spring Security Reference Guide](https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/5.0.3.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle#csrf). + +## 29. Working with SQL Databases + +The [Spring Framework](https://projects.spring.io/spring-framework/) provides extensive support for working with SQL databases, from direct JDBC access using `JdbcTemplate` to complete “object relational mapping” technologies such as Hibernate. [Spring Data](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data/) provides an additional level of functionality: creating `Repository` implementations directly from interfaces and using conventions to generate queries from your method names. + +## 29.1 Configure a DataSource + +Java’s `javax.sql.DataSource` interface provides a standard method of working with database connections. Traditionally, a 'DataSource' uses a `URL` along with some credentials to establish a database connection. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See [the “How-to” section](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-configure-a-datasource) for more advanced examples, typically to take full control over the configuration of the DataSource. | + +### 29.1.1 Embedded Database Support + +It is often convenient to develop applications by using an in-memory embedded database. Obviously, in-memory databases do not provide persistent storage. You need to populate your database when your application starts and be prepared to throw away data when your application ends. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The “How-to” section includes a [section on how to initialize a database](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-database-initialization). | + +Spring Boot can auto-configure embedded [H2](http://www.h2database.com/), [HSQL](http://hsqldb.org/), and [Derby](https://db.apache.org/derby/) databases.

If you use H2, you should use `DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE` to do so. If you use HSQLDB, you should ensure that `shutdown=true` is not used. Disabling the database’s automatic shutdown lets Spring Boot control when the database is closed, thereby ensuring that it happens once access to the database is no longer needed. | + +### 29.1.2 Connection to a Production Database + +Production database connections can also be auto-configured by using a pooling `DataSource`. Spring Boot uses the following algorithm for choosing a specific implementation: + +1. We prefer [HikariCP](https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP) for its performance and concurrency. If HikariCP is available, we always choose it. +2. Otherwise, if the Tomcat pooling `DataSource` is available, we use it. +3. If neither HikariCP nor the Tomcat pooling datasource are available and if [Commons DBCP2](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/) is available, we use it. + +If you use the `spring-boot-starter-jdbc` or `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa` “starters”, you automatically get a dependency to `HikariCP`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can bypass that algorithm completely and specify the connection pool to use by setting the `spring.datasource.type` property. This is especially important if you run your application in a Tomcat container, as `tomcat-jdbc` is provided by default. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Additional connection pools can always be configured manually. If you define your own `DataSource` bean, auto-configuration does not occur. | + +DataSource configuration is controlled by external configuration properties in `spring.datasource.*`. For example, you might declare the following section in`application.properties`: + +``` +spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test +spring.datasource.username=dbuser +spring.datasource.password=dbpass +spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You should at least specify the URL by setting the `spring.datasource.url` property. Otherwise, Spring Boot tries to auto-configure an embedded database. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You often do not need to specify the `driver-class-name`, since Spring Boot can deduce it for most databases from the `url`. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| For a pooling `DataSource` to be created, we need to be able to verify that a valid `Driver` class is available, so we check for that before doing anything.

These are the standard options that work regardless of the actual implementation. It is also possible to fine-tune implementation-specific settings by using their respective prefix (`spring.datasource.hikari.*`, `spring.datasource.tomcat.*`, and `spring.datasource.dbcp2.*`). Refer to the documentation of the connection pool implementation you are using for more details. + +For instance, if you use the [Tomcat connection pool](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/jdbc-pool.html#Common_Attributes), you could customize many additional settings, as shown in the following example: + +``` +# Number of ms to wait before throwing an exception if no connection is available. +spring.datasource.tomcat.max-wait=10000 + +# Maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time. +spring.datasource.tomcat.max-active=50 + +# Validate the connection before borrowing it from the pool. +spring.datasource.tomcat.test-on-borrow=true + +``` + +### 29.1.3 Connection to a JNDI DataSource + +If you deploy your Spring Boot application to an Application Server, you might want to configure and manage your DataSource by using your Application Server’s built-in features and access it by using JNDI. + +The `spring.datasource.jndi-name` property can be used as an alternative to the `spring.datasource.url`, `spring.datasource.username`, and `spring.datasource.password` properties to access the `DataSource` from a specific JNDI location. For example, the following section in `application.properties` shows how you can access a JBoss AS defined `DataSource`: + +``` +spring.datasource.jndi-name=java:jboss/datasources/customers + +``` + +## 29.2 Using JdbcTemplate + +Spring’s `JdbcTemplate` and `NamedParameterJdbcTemplate` classes are auto-configured, and you can `@Autowire` them directly into your own beans, as shown in the following example: + +``` +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; +import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate; +import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; + +@Component +public class MyBean { + + private final JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate; + + @Autowired + public MyBean(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) { + this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate; + } + + // ... + +} + +``` + +You can customize some properties of the template by using the `spring.jdbc.template.*` properties, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.jdbc.template.max-rows=500 + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `NamedParameterJdbcTemplate` reuses the same `JdbcTemplate` instance behind the scenes. If more than one `JdbcTemplate` is defined and no primary candidate exists, the `NamedParameterJdbcTemplate` is not auto-configured. | + +## 29.3 JPA and “Spring Data” + +The Java Persistence API is a standard technology that lets you “map” objects to relational databases. The `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa` POM provides a quick way to get started. It provides the following key dependencies: + +- Hibernate: One of the most popular JPA implementations. +- Spring Data JPA: Makes it easy to implement JPA-based repositories. +- Spring ORMs: Core ORM support from the Spring Framework. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| We do not go into too many details of JPA or [Spring Data](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data/) here. You can follow the [“Accessing Data with JPA”](https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-jpa/) guide from [spring.io](https://spring.io/) and read the [Spring Data JPA](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-jpa/) and [Hibernate](https://hibernate.org/orm/documentation/) reference documentation. | + +### 29.3.1 Entity Classes + +Traditionally, JPA “Entity” classes are specified in a `persistence.xml` file. With Spring Boot, this file is not necessary and “Entity Scanning” is used instead. By default, all packages below your main configuration class (the one annotated with `@EnableAutoConfiguration` or `@SpringBootApplication`) are searched. + +Any classes annotated with `@Entity`, `@Embeddable`, or `@MappedSuperclass` are considered. A typical entity class resembles the following example: + +``` +package com.example.myapp.domain; + +import java.io.Serializable; +import javax.persistence.*; + +@Entity +public class City implements Serializable { + + @Id + @GeneratedValue + private Long id; + + @Column(nullable = false) + private String name; + + @Column(nullable = false) + private String state; + + // ... additional members, often include @OneToMany mappings + + protected City() { + // no-args constructor required by JPA spec + // this one is protected since it shouldn't be used directly + } + + public City(String name, String state) { + this.name = name; + this.country = country; + } + + public String getName() { + return this.name; + } + + public String getState() { + return this.state; + } + + // ... etc + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can customize entity scanning locations by using the `@EntityScan` annotation. See the “[Section 79.4, “Separate @Entity Definitions from Spring Configuration”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-separate-entity-definitions-from-spring-configuration)” how-to. | + +### 29.3.2 Spring Data JPA Repositories + +{http://projects.spring.io/spring-data-jpa/}[Spring Data JPA] repositories are interfaces that you can define to access data. JPA queries are created automatically from your method names. For example, a `CityRepository` interface might declare a `findAllByState(String state)` method to find all the cities in a given state. + +For more complex queries, you can annotate your method with Spring Data’s [`Query`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/jpa/repository/Query.html) annotation. + +Spring Data repositories usually extend from the [`Repository`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/commons/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/repository/Repository.html) or [`CrudRepository`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/commons/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/repository/CrudRepository.html) interfaces. If you use auto-configuration, repositories are searched from the package containing your main configuration class (the one annotated with `@EnableAutoConfiguration` or `@SpringBootApplication`) down. + +The following example shows a typical Spring Data repository interface definition: + +``` +package com.example.myapp.domain; + +import org.springframework.data.domain.*; +import org.springframework.data.repository.*; + +public interface CityRepository extends Repository { + + Page findAll(Pageable pageable); + + City findByNameAndCountryAllIgnoringCase(String name, String country); + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| We have barely scratched the surface of Spring Data JPA. For complete details, see the [Spring Data JPA reference documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/). | + +### 29.3.3 Creating and Dropping JPA Databases + +By default, JPA databases are automatically created **only** if you use an embedded database (H2, HSQL, or Derby). You can explicitly configure JPA settings by using`spring.jpa.*` properties. For example, to create and drop tables you can add the following line to your `application.properties`: + +``` +spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Hibernate’s own internal property name for this (if you happen to remember it better) is `hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto`. You can set it, along with other Hibernate native properties, by using `spring.jpa.properties.*` (the prefix is stripped before adding them to the entity manager). The following line shows an example of setting JPA properties for Hibernate: | + +``` +spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers=true + +``` + +The line in the preceding example passes a value of `true` for the `hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers` property to the Hibernate entity manager. + +By default, the DDL execution (or validation) is deferred until the `ApplicationContext` has started. There is also a `spring.jpa.generate-ddl` flag, but it is not used if Hibernate auto-configuration is active, because the `ddl-auto` settings are more fine-grained. + +### 29.3.4 Open EntityManager in View + +If you are running a web application, Spring Boot by default registers [`OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/orm/jpa/support/OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor.html) to apply the “Open EntityManager in View” pattern, to allow for lazy loading in web views. If you do not want this behavior, you should set `spring.jpa.open-in-view` to `false` in your `application.properties`. + +## 29.4 Using H2’s Web Console + +The [H2 database](http://www.h2database.com/) provides a [browser-based console](http://www.h2database.com/html/quickstart.html#h2_console) that Spring Boot can auto-configure for you. The console is auto-configured when the following conditions are met: + +- You are developing a web application. +- `com.h2database:h2` is on the classpath. +- You are using [Spring Boot’s developer tools](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools). + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you are not using Spring Boot’s developer tools but would still like to make use of H2’s console, you can configure the `spring.h2.console.enabled`property with a value of `true`. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The H2 console is only intended for use during development, so you should take care to ensure that `spring.h2.console.enabled` is not set to `true`in production. | + +### 29.4.1 Changing the H2 Console’s Path + +By default, the console is available at `/h2-console`. You can customize the console’s path by using the `spring.h2.console.path` property. + +## 29.5 Using jOOQ + +Java Object Oriented Querying ([jOOQ](http://www.jooq.org/)) is a popular product from [Data Geekery](http://www.datageekery.com/) which generates Java code from your database and lets you build type-safe SQL queries through its fluent API. Both the commercial and open source editions can be used with Spring Boot. + +### 29.5.1 Code Generation + +In order to use jOOQ type-safe queries, you need to generate Java classes from your database schema. You can follow the instructions in the [jOOQ user manual](http://www.jooq.org/doc/3.6/manual-single-page/#jooq-in-7-steps-step3). If you use the `jooq-codegen-maven` plugin and you also use the `spring-boot-starter-parent` “parent POM”, you can safely omit the plugin’s `` tag. You can also use Spring Boot-defined version variables (such as `h2.version`) to declare the plugin’s database dependency. The following listing shows an example: + +``` + + org.jooq + jooq-codegen-maven + + ... + + + + com.h2database + h2 + ${h2.version} + + + + + org.h2.Driver + jdbc:h2:~/yourdatabase + + + ... + + + + +``` + +### 29.5.2 Using DSLContext + +The fluent API offered by jOOQ is initiated through the `org.jooq.DSLContext` interface. Spring Boot auto-configures a `DSLContext` as a Spring Bean and connects it to your application `DataSource`. To use the `DSLContext`, you can `@Autowire` it, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Component +public class JooqExample implements CommandLineRunner { + + private final DSLContext create; + + @Autowired + public JooqExample(DSLContext dslContext) { + this.create = dslContext; + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The jOOQ manual tends to use a variable named `create` to hold the `DSLContext`. | + +You can then use the `DSLContext` to construct your queries, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public List authorsBornAfter1980() { + return this.create.selectFrom(AUTHOR) + .where(AUTHOR.DATE_OF_BIRTH.greaterThan(new GregorianCalendar(1980, 0, 1))) + .fetch(AUTHOR.DATE_OF_BIRTH); +} + +``` + +### 29.5.3 jOOQ SQL Dialect + +Unless the `spring.jooq.sql-dialect` property has been configured, Spring Boot determines the SQL dialect to use for your datasource. If Spring Boot could not detect the dialect, it uses `DEFAULT`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Spring Boot can only auto-configure dialects supported by the open source version of jOOQ. | + +### 29.5.4 Customizing jOOQ + +More advanced customizations can be achieved by defining your own `@Bean` definitions, which is used when the jOOQ `Configuration` is created. You can define beans for the following jOOQ Types: + +- `ConnectionProvider` +- `TransactionProvider` +- `RecordMapperProvider` +- `RecordListenerProvider` +- `ExecuteListenerProvider` +- `VisitListenerProvider` + +You can also create your own `org.jooq.Configuration` `@Bean` if you want to take complete control of the jOOQ configuration. + +## 30. Working with NoSQL Technologies + +Spring Data provides additional projects that help you access a variety of NoSQL technologies, including: [MongoDB](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-mongodb/), [Neo4J](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-neo4j/), [Elasticsearch](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-elasticsearch/), [Solr](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-solr/), [Redis](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-redis/), [Gemfire](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-gemfire/),[Cassandra](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-cassandra/), [Couchbase](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-couchbase/) and [LDAP](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-ldap/). Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for Redis, MongoDB, Neo4j, Elasticsearch, Solr Cassandra, Couchbase, and LDAP. You can make use of the other projects, but you must configure them yourself. Refer to the appropriate reference documentation at [projects.spring.io/spring-data](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data). + +## 30.1 Redis + +[Redis](http://redis.io/) is a cache, message broker, and richly-featured key-value store. Spring Boot offers basic auto-configuration for the [Lettuce](https://github.com/lettuce-io/lettuce-core/) and [Jedis](https://github.com/xetorthio/jedis/) client libraries and the abstractions on top of them provided by [Spring Data Redis](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-redis). + +There is a `spring-boot-starter-data-redis` “Starter” for collecting the dependencies in a convenient way. By default, it uses [Lettuce](https://github.com/lettuce-io/lettuce-core/). That starter handles both traditional and reactive applications. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| we also provide a `spring-boot-starter-data-redis-reactive` “Starter” for consistency with the other stores with reactive support. | + +### 30.1.1 Connecting to Redis + +You can inject an auto-configured `RedisConnectionFactory`, `StringRedisTemplate`, or vanilla `RedisTemplate` instance as you would any other Spring Bean. By default, the instance tries to connect to a Redis server at `localhost:6379`. The following listing shows an example of such a bean: + +``` +@Component +public class MyBean { + + private StringRedisTemplate template; + + @Autowired + public MyBean(StringRedisTemplate template) { + this.template = template; + } + + // ... + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can also register an arbitrary number of beans that implement `LettuceClientConfigurationBuilderCustomizer` for more advanced customizations. If you use Jedis, `JedisClientConfigurationBuilderCustomizer` is also available. | + +If you add your own `@Bean` of any of the auto-configured types, it replaces the default (except in the case of `RedisTemplate`, when the exclusion is based on the bean name, `redisTemplate`, not its type). By default, if `commons-pool2` is on the classpath, you get a pooled connection factory. + +## 30.2 MongoDB + +[MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) is an open-source NoSQL document database that uses a JSON-like schema instead of traditional table-based relational data. Spring Boot offers several conveniences for working with MongoDB, including the `spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb` and `spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive`“Starters”. + +### 30.2.1 Connecting to a MongoDB Database + +To access Mongo databases, you can inject an auto-configured `org.springframework.data.mongodb.MongoDbFactory`. By default, the instance tries to connect to a MongoDB server at `mongodb://localhost/test` The following example shows how to connect to a MongoDB database: + +``` +import org.springframework.data.mongodb.MongoDbFactory; +import com.mongodb.DB; + +@Component +public class MyBean { + + private final MongoDbFactory mongo; + + @Autowired + public MyBean(MongoDbFactory mongo) { + this.mongo = mongo; + } + + // ... + + public void example() { + DB db = mongo.getDb(); + // ... + } + +} + +``` + +You can set the `spring.data.mongodb.uri` property to change the URL and configure additional settings such as the *replica set*, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://user:secret@mongo1.example.com:12345,mongo2.example.com:23456/test + +``` + +Alternatively, as long as you use Mongo 2.x, you can specify a `host`/`port`. For example, you might declare the following settings in your `application.properties`: + +``` +spring.data.mongodb.host=mongoserver +spring.data.mongodb.port=27017 + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you use the Mongo 3.0 Java driver, `spring.data.mongodb.host` and `spring.data.mongodb.port` are not supported. In such cases, `spring.data.mongodb.uri` should be used to provide all of the configuration. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If `spring.data.mongodb.port` is not specified, the default of `27017` is used.

If you want to take complete control of establishing the MongoDB connection, you can also declare your own `MongoDbFactory` or `MongoClient` bean. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you are using the reactive driver, Netty is required for SSL. The auto-configuration configures this factory automatically if Netty is available and the factory to use hasn’t been customized already. | + +### 30.2.2 MongoTemplate + +[Spring Data MongoDB](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-mongodb/) provides a [`MongoTemplate`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/mongodb/core/MongoTemplate.html) class that is very similar in its design to Spring’s `JdbcTemplate`. As with `JdbcTemplate`, Spring Boot auto-configures a bean for you to inject the template, as follows: + +``` +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; +import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate; +import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; + +@Component +public class MyBean { + + private final MongoTemplate mongoTemplate; + + @Autowired + public MyBean(MongoTemplate mongoTemplate) { + this.mongoTemplate = mongoTemplate; + } + + // ... + +} + +``` + +See the [`MongoOperations` Javadoc](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/mongodb/core/MongoOperations.html) for complete details. + +### 30.2.3 Spring Data MongoDB Repositories + +Spring Data includes repository support for MongoDB. As with the JPA repositories discussed earlier, the basic principle is that queries are constructed automatically, based on method names. + +In fact, both Spring Data JPA and Spring Data MongoDB share the same common infrastructure. You could take the JPA example from earlier and, assuming that `City`is now a Mongo data class rather than a JPA `@Entity`, it works in the same way, as shown in the following example: + +``` +package com.example.myapp.domain; + +import org.springframework.data.domain.*; +import org.springframework.data.repository.*; + +public interface CityRepository extends Repository { + + Page findAll(Pageable pageable); + + City findByNameAndCountryAllIgnoringCase(String name, String country); + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can customize document scanning locations by using the `@EntityScan` annotation. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| For complete details of Spring Data MongoDB, including its rich object mapping technologies, refer to its [reference documentation](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-mongodb/). | + +### 30.2.4 Embedded Mongo + +Spring Boot offers auto-configuration for [Embedded Mongo](https://github.com/flapdoodle-oss/de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo). To use it in your Spring Boot application, add a dependency on`de.flapdoodle.embed:de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo`. + +The port that Mongo listens on can be configured by setting the `spring.data.mongodb.port` property. To use a randomly allocated free port, use a value of 0. The `MongoClient` created by `MongoAutoConfiguration` is automatically configured to use the randomly allocated port. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you do not configure a custom port, the embedded support uses a random port (rather than 27017) by default. | + +If you have SLF4J on the classpath, the output produced by Mongo is automatically routed to a logger named `org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.mongo.embedded.EmbeddedMongo`. + +You can declare your own `IMongodConfig` and `IRuntimeConfig` beans to take control of the Mongo instance’s configuration and logging routing. + +## 30.3 Neo4j + +[Neo4j](http://neo4j.com/) is an open-source NoSQL graph database that uses a rich data model of nodes related by first class relationships, which is better suited for connected big data than traditional rdbms approaches. Spring Boot offers several conveniences for working with Neo4j, including the `spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j` “Starter”. + +### 30.3.1 Connecting to a Neo4j Database + +You can inject an auto-configured `Neo4jSession`, `Session`, or `Neo4jOperations` instance as you would any other Spring Bean. By default, the instance tries to connect to a Neo4j server at `localhost:7474`. The following example shows how to inject a Neo4j bean: + +``` +@Component +public class MyBean { + + private final Neo4jTemplate neo4jTemplate; + + @Autowired + public MyBean(Neo4jTemplate neo4jTemplate) { + this.neo4jTemplate = neo4jTemplate; + } + + // ... + +} + +``` + +You can take full control of the configuration by adding a `org.neo4j.ogm.config.Configuration` `@Bean` of your own. Also, adding a `@Bean` of type`Neo4jOperations` disables the auto-configuration. + +You can configure the user and credentials to use by setting the `spring.data.neo4j.*` properties, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.data.neo4j.uri=http://my-server:7474 +spring.data.neo4j.username=neo4j +spring.data.neo4j.password=secret + +``` + +### 30.3.2 Using the Embedded Mode + +If you add `org.neo4j:neo4j-ogm-embedded-driver` to the dependencies of your application, Spring Boot automatically configures an in-process embedded instance of Neo4j that does not persist any data when your application shuts down. You can explicitly disable that mode by setting `spring.data.neo4j.embedded.enabled=false`. You can also enable persistence for the embedded mode by providing a path to a database file, as shown in the following example: + +``` + spring.data.neo4j.uri=file://var/tmp/graph.db + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The Neo4j OGM embedded driver does not provide the Neo4j kernel.

Caching + +The Spring Framework provides support for transparently adding caching to an application. At its core, the abstraction applies caching to methods, thus reducing the number of executions based on the information available in the cache. The caching logic is applied transparently, without any interference to the invoker. Spring Boot auto-configures the cache infrastructure as long as caching support is enabled via the `@EnableCaching` annotation. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Check the [relevant section](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/integration.html#cache) of the Spring Framework reference for more details. | + +In a nutshell, adding caching to an operation of your service is as easy as adding the relevant annotation to its method, as shown in the following example: + +``` + import org.springframework.cache.annotation.Cacheable +import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; + +@Component +public class MathService { + + @Cacheable("piDecimals") + public int computePiDecimal(int i) { + // ... + } + +} + +``` + +This example demonstrates the use of caching on a potentially costly operation. Before invoking `computePiDecimal`, the abstraction looks for an entry in the `piDecimals` cache that matches the `i` argument. If an entry is found, the content in the cache is immediately returned to the caller, and the method is not invoked. Otherwise, the method is invoked, and the cache is updated before returning the value. + +| ![[Caution]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/caution.png) | Caution | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | +| You can also use the standard JSR-107 (JCache) annotations (such as `@CacheResult`) transparently. However, we strongly advise you to not mix and match the Spring Cache and JCache annotations. | | + +If you do not add any specific cache library, Spring Boot auto-configures a [simple provider](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-caching-provider-simple) that uses concurrent maps in memory. When a cache is required (such as `piDecimals` in the preceding example), this provider creates it for you. The simple provider is not really recommended for production usage, but it is great for getting started and making sure that you understand the features. When you have made up your mind about the cache provider to use, please make sure to read its documentation to figure out how to configure the caches that your application uses. Nearly all providers require you to explicitly configure every cache that you use in the application. Some offer a way to customize the default caches defined by the `spring.cache.cache-names` property. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| It is also possible to transparently [update](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/integration.html#cache-annotations-put) or [evict](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/integration.html#cache-annotations-evict) data from the cache. | + +## 31.1 Supported Cache Providers + +The cache abstraction does not provide an actual store and relies on abstraction materialized by the `org.springframework.cache.Cache` and`org.springframework.cache.CacheManager` interfaces. + +If you have not defined a bean of type `CacheManager` or a `CacheResolver` named `cacheResolver` (see [`CachingConfigurer`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/cache/annotation/CachingConfigurer.html)), Spring Boot tries to detect the following providers (in the indicated order): + +1.

For instance, if you want only `cache1` and `cache2` caches, set the `cache-names` property as follows: + +``` +spring.cache.cache-names=cache1,cache2 + +``` + +If you do so and your application uses a cache not listed, then it fails at runtime when the cache is needed, but not on startup. This is similar to the way the "real" cache providers behave if you use an undeclared cache. + +### 31.1.10 None + +When `@EnableCaching` is present in your configuration, a suitable cache configuration is expected as well. If you need to disable caching altogether in certain environments, force the cache type to `none` to use a no-op implementation, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.cache.type=none + +``` + +## 32. Messaging + +The Spring Framework provides extensive support for integrating with messaging systems, from simplified use of the JMS API using `JmsTemplate` to a complete infrastructure to receive messages asynchronously. Spring AMQP provides a similar feature set for the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol. Spring Boot also provides auto-configuration options for `RabbitTemplate` and RabbitMQ. Spring WebSocket natively includes support for STOMP messaging, and Spring Boot has support for that through starters and a small amount of auto-configuration. Spring Boot also has support for Apache Kafka. + +## 32.1 JMS + +The `javax.jms.ConnectionFactory` interface provides a standard method of creating a `javax.jms.Connection` for interacting with a JMS broker. Although Spring needs a `ConnectionFactory` to work with JMS, you generally need not use it directly yourself and can instead rely on higher level messaging abstractions. (See the [relevant section](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/integration.html#jms) of the Spring Framework reference documentation for details.) Spring Boot also auto-configures the necessary infrastructure to send and receive messages. + +### 32.1.1 ActiveMQ Support + +When [ActiveMQ](http://activemq.apache.org/) is available on the classpath, Spring Boot can also configure a `ConnectionFactory`.

You can also register an arbitrary number of beans that implement `ActiveMQConnectionFactoryCustomizer` for more advanced customizations. | + +By default, ActiveMQ creates a destination if it does not yet exist so that destinations are resolved against their provided names. + +### 32.1.2 Artemis Support + +Spring Boot can auto-configure a `ConnectionFactory` when it detects that [Artemis](http://activemq.apache.org/artemis/) is available on the classpath. If the broker is present, an embedded broker is automatically started and configured (unless the mode property has been explicitly set). The supported modes are `embedded` (to make explicit that an embedded broker is required and that an error should occur if the broker is not available on the classpath) and `native` (to connect to a broker using the `netty` transport protocol). When the latter is configured, Spring Boot configures a `ConnectionFactory` that connects to a broker running on the local machine with the default settings. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you use `spring-boot-starter-artemis`, the necessary dependencies to connect to an existing Artemis instance are provided, as well as the Spring infrastructure to integrate with JMS.

Calling REST Services with `RestTemplate` + +If you need to call remote REST services from your application, you can use the Spring Framework’s [`RestTemplate`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/client/RestTemplate.html) class. Since `RestTemplate` instances often need to be customized before being used, Spring Boot does not provide any single auto-configured `RestTemplate` bean. It does, however, auto-configure a `RestTemplateBuilder`, which can be used to create `RestTemplate` instances when needed. The auto-configured `RestTemplateBuilder` ensures that sensible `HttpMessageConverters` are applied to `RestTemplate` instances. + +The following code shows a typical example: + +``` +@Service +public class MyService { + + private final RestTemplate restTemplate; + + public MyBean(RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder) { + this.restTemplate = restTemplateBuilder.build(); + } + + public Details someRestCall(String name) { + return this.restTemplate.getForObject("/{name}/details", Details.class, name); + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `RestTemplateBuilder` includes a number of useful methods that can be used to quickly configure a `RestTemplate`. For example, to add BASIC auth support, you can use `builder.basicAuthorization("user", "password").build()`. | + +## 33.1 RestTemplate Customization + +There are three main approaches to `RestTemplate` customization, depending on how broadly you want the customizations to apply. + +To make the scope of any customizations as narrow as possible, inject the auto-configured `RestTemplateBuilder` and then call its methods as required. Each method call returns a new `RestTemplateBuilder` instance, so the customizations only affect this use of the builder. + +To make an application-wide, additive customization, use a `RestTemplateCustomizer` bean. All such beans are automatically registered with the auto-configured `RestTemplateBuilder` and are applied to any templates that are built with it. + +The following example shows a customizer that configures the use of a proxy for all hosts except `192.168.0.5`: + +``` +static class ProxyCustomizer implements RestTemplateCustomizer { + + @Override + public void customize(RestTemplate restTemplate) { + HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("proxy.example.com"); + HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create() + .setRoutePlanner(new DefaultProxyRoutePlanner(proxy) { + + @Override + public HttpHost determineProxy(HttpHost target, + HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) + throws HttpException { + if (target.getHostName().equals("192.168.0.5")) { + return null; + } + return super.determineProxy(target, request, context); + } + + }).build(); + restTemplate.setRequestFactory( + new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient)); + } + +} + +``` + +Finally, the most extreme (and rarely used) option is to create your own `RestTemplateBuilder` bean. Doing so switches off the auto-configuration of a`RestTemplateBuilder` and prevents any `RestTemplateCustomizer` beans from being used. + +## 34. Calling REST Services with `WebClient` + +If you have Spring WebFlux on your classpath, you can also choose to use `WebClient` to call remote REST services. Compared to `RestTemplate`, this client has a more functional feel and is fully reactive. You can create your own client instance with the builder, `WebClient.create()`. See the [relevant section on WebClient](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#web-reactive-client). + +Spring Boot creates and pre-configures such a builder for you. For example, client HTTP codecs are configured in the same fashion as the server ones (see [WebFlux HTTP codecs auto-configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-webflux-httpcodecs)). + +The following code shows a typical example: + +``` +@Service +public class MyService { + + private final WebClient webClient; + + public MyBean(WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder) { + this.webClient = webClientBuilder.baseUrl("http://example.org").build(); + } + + public Mono
someRestCall(String name) { + return this.webClient.get().url("/{name}/details", name) + .retrieve().bodyToMono(Details.class); + } + +} + +``` + +## 34.1 WebClient Customization + +There are three main approaches to `WebClient` customization, depending on how broadly you want the customizations to apply. + +To make the scope of any customizations as narrow as possible, inject the auto-configured `WebClient.Builder` and then call its methods as required. `WebClient.Builder` instances are stateful: Any change on the builder is reflected in all clients subsequently created with it. If you want to create several clients with the same builder, you can also consider cloning the builder with `WebClient.Builder other = builder.clone();`. + +To make an application-wide, additive customization to all `WebClient.Builder` instances, you can declare `WebClientCustomizer` beans and change the `WebClient.Builder` locally at the point of injection. + +Finally, you can fall back to the original API and use `WebClient.create()`. In that case, no auto-configuration or `WebClientCustomizer` is applied. + +## 35. Validation + +The method validation feature supported by Bean Validation 1.1 is automatically enabled as long as a JSR-303 implementation (such as Hibernate validator) is on the classpath. This lets bean methods be annotated with `javax.validation` constraints on their parameters and/or on their return value. Target classes with such annotated methods need to be annotated with the `@Validated` annotation at the type level for their methods to be searched for inline constraint annotations. + +For instance, the following service triggers the validation of the first argument, making sure its size is between 8 and 10: + +``` +@Service +@Validated +public class MyBean { + + public Archive findByCodeAndAuthor(@Size(min = 8, max = 10) String code, + Author author) { + ... + } + +} + +``` + +## 36. Sending Email + +The Spring Framework provides an easy abstraction for sending email by using the `JavaMailSender` interface, and Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for it as well as a starter module. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See the [reference documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/integration.html#mail) for a detailed explanation of how you can use `JavaMailSender`. | + +If `spring.mail.host` and the relevant libraries (as defined by `spring-boot-starter-mail`) are available, a default `JavaMailSender` is created if none exists.

Distributed Transactions with JTA + +Spring Boot supports distributed JTA transactions across multiple XA resources by using either an [Atomikos](http://www.atomikos.com/) or [Bitronix](https://github.com/bitronix/btm) embedded transaction manager. JTA transactions are also supported when deploying to a suitable Java EE Application Server. + +When a JTA environment is detected, Spring’s `JtaTransactionManager` is used to manage transactions. Auto-configured JMS, DataSource, and JPA beans are upgraded to support XA transactions. You can use standard Spring idioms, such as `@Transactional`, to participate in a distributed transaction. If you are within a JTA environment and still want to use local transactions, you can set the `spring.jta.enabled` property to `false` to disable the JTA auto-configuration. + +## 37.1 Using an Atomikos Transaction Manager + +[Atomikos](https://www.atomikos.com/) is a popular open source transaction manager which can be embedded into your Spring Boot application. You can use the`spring-boot-starter-jta-atomikos` Starter to pull in the appropriate Atomikos libraries. Spring Boot auto-configures Atomikos and ensures that appropriate `depends-on` settings are applied to your Spring beans for correct startup and shutdown ordering. + +By default, Atomikos transaction logs are written to a `transaction-logs` directory in your application’s home directory (the directory in which your application jar file resides). You can customize the location of this directory by setting a `spring.jta.log-dir` property in your `application.properties` file. Properties starting with `spring.jta.atomikos.properties` can also be used to customize the Atomikos `UserTransactionServiceImp`. See the [`AtomikosProperties`Javadoc](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/jta/atomikos/AtomikosProperties.html) for complete details. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| To ensure that multiple transaction managers can safely coordinate the same resource managers, each Atomikos instance must be configured with a unique ID.

You can customize the location of this directory by setting the `spring.jta.log-dir` property. Properties starting with `spring.jta.bitronix.properties` are also bound to the `bitronix.tm.Configuration` bean, allowing for complete customization. See the [Bitronix documentation](https://github.com/bitronix/btm/wiki/Transaction-manager-configuration) for details. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| To ensure that multiple transaction managers can safely coordinate the same resource managers, each Bitronix instance must be configured with a unique ID. By default, this ID is the IP address of the machine on which Bitronix is running.

You can use the `spring-boot-starter-jta-narayana` starter to add the appropriate Narayana dependencies to your project. As with Atomikos and Bitronix, Spring Boot automatically configures Narayana and post-processes your beans to ensure that startup and shutdown ordering is correct. + +By default, Narayana transaction logs are written to a `transaction-logs` directory in your application home directory (the directory in which your application jar file resides). You can customize the location of this directory by setting a `spring.jta.log-dir` property in your `application.properties` file. Properties starting with `spring.jta.narayana.properties` can also be used to customize the Narayana configuration. See the [`NarayanaProperties` Javadoc](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/jta/narayana/NarayanaProperties.html) for complete details. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| To ensure that multiple transaction managers can safely coordinate the same resource managers, each Narayana instance must be configured with a unique ID. By default, this ID is set to `1`. To ensure uniqueness in production, you should configure the `spring.jta.transaction-manager-id`property with a different value for each instance of your application. | + +## 37.4 Using a Java EE Managed Transaction Manager + +If you package your Spring Boot application as a `war` or `ear` file and deploy it to a Java EE application server, you can use your application server’s built-in transaction manager. Spring Boot tries to auto-configure a transaction manager by looking at common JNDI locations (`java:comp/UserTransaction`, `java:comp/TransactionManager`, and so on). If you use a transaction service provided by your application server, you generally also want to ensure that all resources are managed by the server and exposed over JNDI. Spring Boot tries to auto-configure JMS by looking for a `ConnectionFactory` at the JNDI path (`java:/JmsXA` or `java:/XAConnectionFactory`), and you can use the [`spring.datasource.jndi-name` property](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-connecting-to-a-jndi-datasource) to configure your `DataSource`. + +## 37.5 Mixing XA and Non-XA JMS Connections + +When using JTA, the primary JMS `ConnectionFactory` bean is XA-aware and participates in distributed transactions. In some situations, you might want to process certain JMS messages by using a non-XA `ConnectionFactory`. For example, your JMS processing logic might take longer than the XA timeout. + +If you want to use a non-XA `ConnectionFactory`, you can inject the `nonXaJmsConnectionFactory` bean rather than the `@Primary` `jmsConnectionFactory`bean. For consistency, the `jmsConnectionFactory` bean is also provided by using the bean alias `xaJmsConnectionFactory`. + +The following example shows how to inject `ConnectionFactory` instances: + +``` +// Inject the primary (XA aware) ConnectionFactory +@Autowired +private ConnectionFactory defaultConnectionFactory; + +// Inject the XA aware ConnectionFactory (uses the alias and injects the same as above) +@Autowired +@Qualifier("xaJmsConnectionFactory") +private ConnectionFactory xaConnectionFactory; + +// Inject the non-XA aware ConnectionFactory +@Autowired +@Qualifier("nonXaJmsConnectionFactory") +private ConnectionFactory nonXaConnectionFactory; + +``` + +## 37.6 Supporting an Alternative Embedded Transaction Manager + +The [`XAConnectionFactoryWrapper`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/jms/XAConnectionFactoryWrapper.java) and [`XADataSourceWrapper`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/jdbc/XADataSourceWrapper.java) interfaces can be used to support alternative embedded transaction managers. The interfaces are responsible for wrapping `XAConnectionFactory` and `XADataSource` beans and exposing them as regular `ConnectionFactory` and `DataSource` beans, which transparently enroll in the distributed transaction. DataSource and JMS auto-configuration use JTA variants, provided you have a `JtaTransactionManager`bean and appropriate XA wrapper beans registered within your `ApplicationContext`. + +The [BitronixXAConnectionFactoryWrapper](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/jta/bitronix/BitronixXAConnectionFactoryWrapper.java) and [BitronixXADataSourceWrapper](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/jta/bitronix/BitronixXADataSourceWrapper.java) provide good examples of how to write XA wrappers. + +## 38. Hazelcast + +If [Hazelcast](https://hazelcast.com/) is on the classpath and a suitable configuration is found, Spring Boot auto-configures a `HazelcastInstance` that you can inject in your application. + +If you define a `com.hazelcast.config.Config` bean, Spring Boot uses that. If your configuration defines an instance name, Spring Boot tries to locate an existing instance rather than creating a new one. + +You could also specify the `hazelcast.xml` configuration file to use through configuration, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.hazelcast.config=classpath:config/my-hazelcast.xml + +``` + +Otherwise, Spring Boot tries to find the Hazelcast configuration from the default locations: `hazelcast.xml` in the working directory or at the root of the classpath. We also check if the `hazelcast.config` system property is set. See the [Hazelcast documentation](http://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/latest/manual/html-single/) for more details. + +If `hazelcast-client` is present on the classpath, Spring Boot first attempts to create a client by checking the following configuration options: + +- The presence of a `com.hazelcast.client.config.ClientConfig` bean. +- A configuration file defined by the `spring.hazelcast.config` property. +- The presence of the `hazelcast.client.config` system property. +- A `hazelcast-client.xml` in the working directory or at the root of the classpath. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Spring Boot also has [explicit caching support for Hazelcast](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-caching-provider-hazelcast). If caching is enabled, the `HazelcastInstance` is automatically wrapped in a `CacheManager` implementation. | + +## 39. Quartz Scheduler + +Spring Boot offers several conveniences for working with the [Quartz scheduler](http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/), including the `spring-boot-starter-quartz` “Starter”. If Quartz is available, a `Scheduler` is auto-configured (through the `SchedulerFactoryBean` abstraction). + +Beans of the following types are automatically picked up and associated with the `Scheduler`: + +- `JobDetail`: defines a particular Job. `JobDetail` instances can be built with the `JobBuilder` API. +- `Calendar`. +- `Trigger`: defines when a particular job is triggered. + +By default, an in-memory `JobStore` is used. However, it is possible to configure a JDBC-based store if a `DataSource` bean is available in your application and if the`spring.quartz.job-store-type` property is configured accordingly, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.quartz.job-store-type=jdbc + +``` + +When the JDBC store is used, the schema can be initialized on startup, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.quartz.jdbc.initialize-schema=always + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| By default, the database is detected and initialized by using the standard scripts provided with the Quartz library. It is also possible to provide a custom script by setting the `spring.quartz.jdbc.schema` property. | + +Quartz Scheduler configuration can be customized by using Quartz configuration properties ()`spring.quartz.properties.*`) and `SchedulerFactoryBeanCustomizer` beans, which allow programmatic `SchedulerFactoryBean` customization. + +Jobs can define setters to inject data map properties. Regular beans can also be injected in a similar manner, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public class SampleJob extends QuartzJobBean { + + private MyService myService; + + private String name; + + // Inject "MyService" bean + public void setMyService(MyService myService) { ... } + + // Inject the "name" job data property + public void setName(String name) { ... } + + @Override + protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext context) + throws JobExecutionException { + ... + } + +} + +``` + +## 40. Spring Integration + +Spring Boot offers several conveniences for working with [Spring Integration](https://projects.spring.io/spring-integration/), including the `spring-boot-starter-integration` “Starter”. Spring Integration provides abstractions over messaging and also other transports such as HTTP, TCP, and others. If Spring Integration is available on your classpath, it is initialized through the `@EnableIntegration` annotation. + +Spring Boot also configures some features that are triggered by the presence of additional Spring Integration modules. If `spring-integration-jmx` is also on the classpath, message processing statistics are published over JMX . If `spring-integration-jdbc` is available, the default database schema can be created on startup, as shown in the following line: + +``` +spring.integration.jdbc.initialize-schema=always + +``` + +See the [`IntegrationAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/integration/IntegrationAutoConfiguration.java) and [`IntegrationProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/integration/IntegrationProperties.java) classes for more details. + +By default, if a Micrometer `meterRegistry` bean is present, Spring Integration metrics will be managed by Micrometer. If you wish to use legacy Spring Integration metrics, add a `DefaultMetricsFactory` bean to the application context. + +## 41. Spring Session + +Spring Boot provides [Spring Session](https://projects.spring.io/spring-session/) auto-configuration for a wide range of data stores. When building a Servlet web application, the following stores can be auto-configured: + +- JDBC +- Redis +- Hazelcast +- MongoDB + +When building a reactive web application, the following stores can be auto-configured: + +- Redis +- MongoDB + +If Spring Session is available, you must choose the [`StoreType`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/session/StoreType.java) that you wish to use to store the sessions. For instance, to use JDBC as the back-end store, you can configure your application as follows: + +``` +spring.session.store-type=jdbc + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can disable Spring Session by setting the `store-type` to `none`. | + +Each store has specific additional settings. For instance, it is possible to customize the name of the table for the JDBC store, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.session.jdbc.table-name=SESSIONS + +``` + +## 42. Monitoring and Management over JMX + +Java Management Extensions (JMX) provide a standard mechanism to monitor and manage applications. By default, Spring Boot creates an `MBeanServer` bean with an ID of `mbeanServer` and exposes any of your beans that are annotated with Spring JMX annotations (`@ManagedResource`, `@ManagedAttribute`, or `@ManagedOperation`). + +See the [`JmxAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jmx/JmxAutoConfiguration.java) class for more details. + +## 43. Testing + +Spring Boot provides a number of utilities and annotations to help when testing your application. Test support is provided by two modules: `spring-boot-test`contains core items, and `spring-boot-test-autoconfigure` supports auto-configuration for tests. + +Most developers use the `spring-boot-starter-test` “Starter”, which imports both Spring Boot test modules as well as JUnit, AssertJ, Hamcrest, and a number of other useful libraries. + +## 43.1 Test Scope Dependencies + +The `spring-boot-starter-test` “Starter” (in the `test` `scope`)contains the following provided libraries: + +- [JUnit](http://junit.org/): The de-facto standard for unit testing Java applications. +- [Spring Test](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/testing.html#integration-testing) & Spring Boot Test: Utilities and integration test support for Spring Boot applications. +- [AssertJ](https://joel-costigliola.github.io/assertj/): A fluent assertion library. +- [Hamcrest](http://hamcrest.org/JavaHamcrest/): A library of matcher objects (also known as constraints or predicates). +- [Mockito](http://mockito.org/): A Java mocking framework. +- [JSONassert](https://github.com/skyscreamer/JSONassert): An assertion library for JSON. +- [JsonPath](https://github.com/jayway/JsonPath): XPath for JSON. + +We generally find these common libraries to be useful when writing tests. If these libraries do not suit your needs, you can add additional test dependencies of your own. + +## 43.2 Testing Spring Applications + +One of the major advantages of dependency injection is that it should make your code easier to unit test. You can instantiate objects by using the `new` operator without even involving Spring. You can also use *mock objects* instead of real dependencies. + +Often, you need to move beyond unit testing and start integration testing (with a Spring `ApplicationContext`). It is useful to be able to perform integration testing without requiring deployment of your application or needing to connect to other infrastructure. + +The Spring Framework includes a dedicated test module for such integration testing. You can declare a dependency directly to `org.springframework:spring-test` or use the `spring-boot-starter-test` “Starter” to pull it in transitively. + +If you have not used the `spring-test` module before, you should start by reading the [relevant section](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/testing.html#testing) of the Spring Framework reference documentation. + +## 43.3 Testing Spring Boot Applications + +A Spring Boot application is a Spring `ApplicationContext`, so nothing very special has to be done to test it beyond what you would normally do with a vanilla Spring context. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| External properties, logging, and other features of Spring Boot are installed in the context by default only if you use `SpringApplication` to create it. | + +Spring Boot provides a `@SpringBootTest` annotation, which can be used as an alternative to the standard `spring-test` `@ContextConfiguration` annotation when you need Spring Boot features. The annotation works by creating the `ApplicationContext` used in your tests through `SpringApplication`. + +You can use the `webEnvironment` attribute of `@SpringBootTest` to further refine how your tests run: + +- `MOCK`: Loads a `WebApplicationContext` and provides a mock servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are not started when using this annotation. If servlet APIs are not on your classpath, this mode transparently falls back to creating a regular non-web `ApplicationContext`. It can be used in conjunction with`@AutoConfigureMockMvc` for `MockMvc`-based testing of your application. +- `RANDOM_PORT`: Loads an `ServletWebServerApplicationContext` and provides a real servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are started and listen on a random port. +- `DEFINED_PORT`: Loads a `ServletWebServerApplicationContext` and provides a real servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are started and listen on a defined port (from your `application.properties` or on the default port of `8080`). +- `NONE`: Loads an `ApplicationContext` by using `SpringApplication` but does not provide *any* servlet environment (mock or otherwise). + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If your test is `@Transactional`, it rolls back the transaction at the end of each test method by default. However, as using this arrangement with either `RANDOM_PORT` or `DEFINED_PORT` implicitly provides a real servlet environment, the HTTP client and server run in separate threads and, thus, in separate transactions. Any transaction initiated on the server does not roll back in this case. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| In addition to `@SpringBootTest`, a number of other annotations are also provided for testing more specific slices of an application. You can find more detail throughout this chapter. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Do not forget to add `@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)` to your test. Otherwise, the annotations are ignored. | + +### 43.3.1 Detecting Web Application Type + +If Spring MVC is available, a regular MVC-based application context is configured. If you have only Spring WebFlux, we’ll detect that and configure a WebFlux-based application context instead. + +If both are present, Spring MVC takes precedence. If you want to test a reactive web application in this scenario, you must set the `spring.main.web-application-type` property: + +``` +@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest(properties = "spring.main.web-application-type=reactive") +public class MyWebFluxTests { ... } + +``` + +### 43.3.2 Detecting Test Configuration + +If you are familiar with the Spring Test Framework, you may be used to using `@ContextConfiguration(classes=…)` in order to specify which Spring `@Configuration` to load. Alternatively, you might have often used nested `@Configuration` classes within your test. + +When testing Spring Boot applications, this is often not required. Spring Boot’s `@*Test` annotations search for your primary configuration automatically whenever you do not explicitly define one. + +The search algorithm works up from the package that contains the test until it finds a class annotated with `@SpringBootApplication` or `@SpringBootConfiguration`. As long as you [structured your code](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-structuring-your-code) in a sensible way, your main configuration is usually found. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you use a [test annotation to test a more specific slice of your application](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-testing-autoconfigured-tests), you should avoid adding configuration settings that are specific to a particular area on the [main method’s application class](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-testing-user-configuration). | + +If you want to customize the primary configuration, you can use a nested `@TestConfiguration` class. Unlike a nested `@Configuration` class, which would be used instead of your application’s primary configuration, a nested `@TestConfiguration` class is used in addition to your application’s primary configuration. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Spring’s test framework caches application contexts between tests. Therefore, as long as your tests share the same configuration (no matter how it is discovered), the potentially time-consuming process of loading the context happens only once. | + +### 43.3.3 Excluding Test Configuration + +If your application uses component scanning (for example, if you use `@SpringBootApplication` or `@ComponentScan`), you may find top-level configuration classes that you created only for specific tests accidentally get picked up everywhere. + +As we [have seen earlier](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-detecting-config), `@TestConfiguration` can be used on an inner class of a test to customize the primary configuration. When placed on a top-level class, `@TestConfiguration` indicates that classes in `src/test/java` should not be picked up by scanning. You can then import that class explicitly where it is required, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest +@Import(MyTestsConfiguration.class) +public class MyTests { + + @Test + public void exampleTest() { + ... + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you directly use `@ComponentScan` (that is, not through `@SpringBootApplication`) you need to register the `TypeExcludeFilter` with it. See [the Javadoc](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/context/TypeExcludeFilter.html) for details. | + +### 43.3.4 Testing with a running server + +If you need to start a full running server, we recommend that you use random ports. If you use `@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)`, an available port is picked at random each time your test runs. + +The `@LocalServerPort` annotation can be used to [inject the actual port used](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-discover-the-http-port-at-runtime) into your test. For convenience, tests that need to make REST calls to the started server can additionally `@Autowire` a [`WebTestClient`](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/testing.html#webtestclient-tests), which resolves relative links to the running server and comes with a dedicated API for verifying responses, as shown in the following example: + +``` +import org.junit.Test; +import org.junit.runner.RunWith; + +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; +import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; +import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment; +import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; +import org.springframework.test.web.reactive.server.WebTestClient; + +@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) +public class RandomPortWebTestClientExampleTests { + + @Autowired + private WebTestClient webClient; + + @Test + public void exampleTest() { + this.webClient.get().uri("/").exchange().expectStatus().isOk() + .expectBody(String.class).isEqualTo("Hello World"); + } + +} + +``` + +Spring Boot also provides a `TestRestTemplate` facility: + +``` +import org.junit.Test; +import org.junit.runner.RunWith; + +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; +import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; +import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment; +import org.springframework.boot.test.web.client.TestRestTemplate; +import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; + +import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat; + +@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) +public class RandomPortTestRestTemplateExampleTests { + + @Autowired + private TestRestTemplate restTemplate; + + @Test + public void exampleTest() { + String body = this.restTemplate.getForObject("/", String.class); + assertThat(body).isEqualTo("Hello World"); + } + +} + +``` + +### 43.3.5 Mocking and Spying Beans + +When running tests, it is sometimes necessary to mock certain components within your application context. For example, you may have a facade over some remote service that is unavailable during development. Mocking can also be useful when you want to simulate failures that might be hard to trigger in a real environment. + +Spring Boot includes a `@MockBean` annotation that can be used to define a Mockito mock for a bean inside your `ApplicationContext`. You can use the annotation to add new beans or replace a single existing bean definition. The annotation can be used directly on test classes, on fields within your test, or on `@Configuration`classes and fields. When used on a field, the instance of the created mock is also injected. Mock beans are automatically reset after each test method. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If your test uses one of Spring Boot’s test annotations (such as `@SpringBootTest`), this feature is automatically enabled. To use this feature with a different arrangement, a listener must be explicitly added, as shown in the following example:`@TestExecutionListeners(MockitoTestExecutionListener.class)` | + +The following example replaces an existing `RemoteService` bean with a mock implementation: + +``` +import org.junit.*; +import org.junit.runner.*; +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.*; +import org.springframework.boot.test.context.*; +import org.springframework.boot.test.mock.mockito.*; +import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.*; + +import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.*; +import static org.mockito.BDDMockito.*; + +@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest +public class MyTests { + + @MockBean + private RemoteService remoteService; + + @Autowired + private Reverser reverser; + + @Test + public void exampleTest() { + // RemoteService has been injected into the reverser bean + given(this.remoteService.someCall()).willReturn("mock"); + String reverse = reverser.reverseSomeCall(); + assertThat(reverse).isEqualTo("kcom"); + } + +} + +``` + +Additionally, you can use `@SpyBean` to wrap any existing bean with a Mockito `spy`. See the [Javadoc](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/test/mock/mockito/SpyBean.html) for full details. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| While Spring’s test framework caches application contexts between tests and reuses a context for tests sharing the same configuration, the use of `@MockBean` or `@SpyBean` influences the cache key, which will most likely increase the number of contexts. | + +### 43.3.6 Auto-configured Tests + +Spring Boot’s auto-configuration system works well for applications but can sometimes be a little too much for tests. It often helps to load only the parts of the configuration that are required to test a “slice” of your application. For example, you might want to test that Spring MVC controllers are mapping URLs correctly, and you do not want to involve database calls in those tests, or you might want to test JPA entities, and you are not interested in the web layer when those tests run. + +The `spring-boot-test-autoconfigure` module includes a number of annotations that can be used to automatically configure such “slices”. Each of them works in a similar way, providing a `@…Test` annotation that loads the `ApplicationContext` and one or more `@AutoConfigure…` annotations that can be used to customize auto-configuration settings. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Each slice loads a very restricted set of auto-configuration classes. If you need to exclude one of them, most `@…Test` annotations provide an `excludeAutoConfiguration` attribute. Alternatively, you can use `@ImportAutoConfiguration#exclude`. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| It is also possible to use the `@AutoConfigure…` annotations with the standard `@SpringBootTest` annotation. You can use this combination if you are not interested in “slicing” your application but you want some of the auto-configured test beans. | + +### 43.3.7 Auto-configured JSON Tests + +To test that object JSON serialization and deserialization is working as expected, you can use the `@JsonTest` annotation. `@JsonTest` auto-configures the available supported JSON mapper, which can be one of the following libraries: + +- Jackson `ObjectMapper`, any `@JsonComponent` beans and any Jackson `Module`s +- `Gson` +- `Jsonb` + +If you need to configure elements of the auto-configuration, you can use the `@AutoConfigureJsonTesters` annotation. + +Spring Boot includes AssertJ-based helpers that work with the JSONassert and JsonPath libraries to check that JSON appears as expected.

The auto-configuration calls `alwaysDo` with this result handler, thereby causing each `MockMvc` call to automatically generate the default snippets. The following example shows a `RestDocumentationResultHandler` being defined: + +``` +@TestConfiguration +static class ResultHandlerConfiguration { + + @Bean + public RestDocumentationResultHandler restDocumentation() { + return MockMvcRestDocumentation.document("{method-name}"); + } + +} + +``` + +#### Auto-configured Spring REST Docs Tests with REST Assured + +`@AutoConfigureRestDocs` makes a `RequestSpecification` bean, preconfigured to use Spring REST Docs, available to your tests. You can inject it by using `@Autowired` and use it in your tests as you normally would when using REST Assured and Spring REST Docs, as shown in the following example: + +``` +import io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification; +import org.junit.Test; +import org.junit.runner.RunWith; + +import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; +import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.restdocs.AutoConfigureRestDocs; +import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; +import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment; +import org.springframework.boot.web.server.LocalServerPort; +import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; + +import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given; +import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is; +import static org.springframework.restdocs.restassured3.RestAssuredRestDocumentation.document; + +@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) +@AutoConfigureRestDocs +public class UserDocumentationTests { + + @LocalServerPort + private int port; + + @Autowired + private RequestSpecification documentationSpec; + + @Test + public void listUsers() { + given(this.documentationSpec).filter(document("list-users")).when() + .port(this.port).get("/").then().assertThat().statusCode(is(200)); + } + +} + +``` + +If you require more control over Spring REST Docs configuration than offered by the attributes of `@AutoConfigureRestDocs`, a `RestDocsRestAssuredConfigurationCustomizer` bean can be used, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@TestConfiguration +public static class CustomizationConfiguration + implements RestDocsRestAssuredConfigurationCustomizer { + + @Override + public void customize(RestAssuredRestDocumentationConfigurer configurer) { + configurer.snippets().withTemplateFormat(TemplateFormats.markdown()); + } + +} + +``` + +### 43.3.19 User Configuration and Slicing + +If you [structure your code](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-structuring-your-code) in a sensible way, your `@SpringBootApplication` class is [used by default](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-detecting-config) as the configuration of your tests. + +It then becomes important not to litter the application’s main class with configuration settings that are specific to a particular area of its functionality. + +Assume that you are using Spring Batch and you rely on the auto-configuration for it. You could define your `@SpringBootApplication` as follows: + +``` +@SpringBootApplication +@EnableBatchProcessing +public class SampleApplication { ... } + +``` + +Because this class is the source configuration for the test, any slice test actually tries to start Spring Batch, which is definitely not what you want to do. A recommended approach is to move that area-specific configuration to a separate `@Configuration` class at the same level as your application, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +@EnableBatchProcessing +public class BatchConfiguration { ... } + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Depending on the complexity of your application, you may either have a single `@Configuration` class for your customizations or one class per domain area. The latter approach lets you enable it in one of your tests, if necessary, with the `@Import` annotation. | + +Another source of confusion is classpath scanning. Assume that, while you structured your code in a sensible way, you need to scan an additional package. Your application may resemble the following code: + +``` +@SpringBootApplication +@ComponentScan({ "com.example.app", "org.acme.another" }) +public class SampleApplication { ... } + +``` + +Doing so effectively overrides the default component scan directive with the side effect of scanning those two packages regardless of the slice that you chose. For instance, a `@DataJpaTest` seems to suddenly scan components and user configurations of your application. Again, moving the custom directive to a separate class is a good way to fix this issue. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If this is not an option for you, you can create a `@SpringBootConfiguration` somewhere in the hierarchy of your test so that it is used instead. Alternatively, you can specify a source for your test, which disables the behavior of finding a default one. | + +### 43.3.20 Using Spock to Test Spring Boot Applications + +If you wish to use Spock to test a Spring Boot application, you should add a dependency on Spock’s `spock-spring` module to your application’s build. `spock-spring` integrates Spring’s test framework into Spock. It is recommended that you use Spock 1.1 or later to benefit from a number of improvements to Spock’s Spring Framework and Spring Boot integration. See [the documentation for Spock’s Spring module](http://spockframework.org/spock/docs/1.1/modules.html) for further details. + +## 43.4 Test Utilities + +A few test utility classes that are generally useful when testing your application are packaged as part of `spring-boot`. + +### 43.4.1 ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer + +`ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer` is an `ApplicationContextInitializer` that you can apply to your tests to load Spring Boot `application.properties` files. You can use it when you do not need the full set of features provided by `@SpringBootTest`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@ContextConfiguration(classes = Config.class, + initializers = ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer.class) + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Using `ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer` alone does not provide support for `@Value("${…}")` injection. Its only job is to ensure that `application.properties` files are loaded into Spring’s `Environment`. For `@Value` support, you need to either additionally configure a `PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer` or use `@SpringBootTest`, which auto-configures one for you. | + +### 43.4.2 EnvironmentTestUtils + +`EnvironmentTestUtils` lets you quickly add properties to a `ConfigurableEnvironment` or `ConfigurableApplicationContext`. You can call it with`key=value` strings, as follows: + +``` +EnvironmentTestUtils.addEnvironment(env, "org=Spring", "name=Boot"); + +``` + +### 43.4.3 OutputCapture + +`OutputCapture` is a JUnit `Rule` that you can use to capture `System.out` and `System.err` output. You can declare the capture as a `@Rule` and then use `toString()` for assertions, as follows: + +``` +import org.junit.Rule; +import org.junit.Test; +import org.springframework.boot.test.rule.OutputCapture; + +import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*; +import static org.junit.Assert.*; + +public class MyTest { + + @Rule + public OutputCapture capture = new OutputCapture(); + + @Test + public void testName() throws Exception { + System.out.println("Hello World!"); + assertThat(capture.toString(), containsString("World")); + } + +} + +``` + +### 43.4.4 TestRestTemplate + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Spring Framework 5.0 provides a new `WebTestClient` that works for [WebFlux integration tests](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-testing-autoconfigured-webflux-tests) and both [WebFlux and MVC end-to-end testing](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-testing-spring-boot-applications-testing-with-running-server). It provides a fluent API for assertions, unlike `TestRestTemplate`. | + +`TestRestTemplate` is a convenience alternative to Spring’s `RestTemplate` that is useful in integration tests. You can get a vanilla template or one that sends Basic HTTP authentication (with a username and password). In either case, the template behaves in a test-friendly way by not throwing exceptions on server-side errors. It is recommended, but not mandatory, to use the Apache HTTP Client (version 4.3.2 or better). If you have that on your classpath, the `TestRestTemplate` responds by configuring the client appropriately. If you do use Apache’s HTTP client, some additional test-friendly features are enabled: + +- Redirects are not followed (so you can assert the response location). +- Cookies are ignored (so the template is stateless). + +`TestRestTemplate` can be instantiated directly in your integration tests, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public class MyTest { + + private TestRestTemplate template = new TestRestTemplate(); + + @Test + public void testRequest() throws Exception { + HttpHeaders headers = this.template.getForEntity( + "http://myhost.example.com/example", String.class).getHeaders(); + assertThat(headers.getLocation()).hasHost("other.example.com"); + } + +} + +``` + +Alternatively, if you use the `@SpringBootTest` annotation with `WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT` or `WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT`, you can inject a fully configured `TestRestTemplate` and start using it. If necessary, additional customizations can be applied through the `RestTemplateBuilder` bean. Any URLs that do not specify a host and port automatically connect to the embedded server, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) +public class SampleWebClientTests { + + @Autowired + private TestRestTemplate template; + + @Test + public void testRequest() { + HttpHeaders headers = this.template.getForEntity("/example", String.class) + .getHeaders(); + assertThat(headers.getLocation()).hasHost("other.example.com"); + } + + @TestConfiguration + static class Config { + + @Bean + public RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder() { + return new RestTemplateBuilder().setConnectTimeout(1000).setReadTimeout(1000); + } + + } + +} + +``` + +## 44. WebSockets + +Spring Boot provides WebSockets auto-configuration for embedded Tomcat 8.5, Jetty 9, and Undertow. If you deploy a war file to a standalone container, Spring Boot assumes that the container is responsible for the configuration of its WebSocket support. + +Spring Framework provides [rich WebSocket support](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#websocket) that can be easily accessed through the `spring-boot-starter-websocket` module. + +## 45. Web Services + +Spring Boot provides Web Services auto-configuration so that all you must do is define your `Endpoints`. + +The [Spring Web Services features](https://docs.spring.io/spring-ws/docs/3.0.0.RELEASE/reference/) can be easily accessed with the `spring-boot-starter-webservices` module. + +`SimpleWsdl11Definition` and `SimpleXsdSchema` beans can be automatically created for your WSDLs and XSDs respectively. To do so, configure their location, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.webservices.wsdl-locations=classpath:/wsdl + +``` + +## 46. Creating Your Own Auto-configuration + +If you work in a company that develops shared libraries, or if you work on an open-source or commercial library, you might want to develop your own auto-configuration. Auto-configuration classes can be bundled in external jars and still be picked-up by Spring Boot. + +Auto-configuration can be associated to a “starter” that provides the auto-configuration code as well as the typical libraries that you would use with it. We first cover what you need to know to build your own auto-configuration and then we move on to the [typical steps required to create a custom starter](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-custom-starter). + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| A [demo project](https://github.com/snicoll-demos/spring-boot-master-auto-configuration) is available to showcase how you can create a starter step-by-step. | + +## 46.1 Understanding Auto-configured Beans + +Under the hood, auto-configuration is implemented with standard `@Configuration` classes. Additional `@Conditional` annotations are used to constrain when the auto-configuration should apply. Usually, auto-configuration classes use `@ConditionalOnClass` and `@ConditionalOnMissingBean` annotations. This ensures that auto-configuration applies only when relevant classes are found and when you have not declared your own `@Configuration`. + +You can browse the source code of [`spring-boot-autoconfigure`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure) to see the `@Configuration` classes that Spring provides (see the[`META-INF/spring.factories`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring.factories) file). + +## 46.2 Locating Auto-configuration Candidates + +Spring Boot checks for the presence of a `META-INF/spring.factories` file within your published jar. The file should list your configuration classes under the`EnableAutoConfiguration` key, as shown in the following example: + +``` +org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=\ +com.mycorp.libx.autoconfigure.LibXAutoConfiguration,\ +com.mycorp.libx.autoconfigure.LibXWebAutoConfiguration + +``` + +You can use the [`@AutoConfigureAfter`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/AutoConfigureAfter.java) or [`@AutoConfigureBefore`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/AutoConfigureBefore.java) annotations if your configuration needs to be applied in a specific order. For example, if you provide web-specific configuration, your class may need to be applied after `WebMvcAutoConfiguration`. + +If you want to order certain auto-configurations that should not have any direct knowledge of each other, you can also use `@AutoConfigureOrder`. That annotation has the same semantic as the regular `@Order` annotation but provides a dedicated order for auto-configuration classes. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Auto-configurations must be loaded that way *only*. Make sure that they are defined in a specific package space and that, in particular, they are never the target of component scanning. | + +## 46.3 Condition Annotations + +You almost always want to include one or more `@Conditional` annotations on your auto-configuration class. The `@ConditionalOnMissingBean` annotation is one common example that is used to allow developers to override auto-configuration if they are not happy with your defaults. + +Spring Boot includes a number of `@Conditional` annotations that you can reuse in your own code by annotating `@Configuration` classes or individual `@Bean`methods. These annotations include: + +- [Section 46.3.1, “Class Conditions”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-class-conditions) +- [Section 46.3.2, “Bean Conditions”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-bean-conditions) +- [Section 46.3.3, “Property Conditions”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-property-conditions) +- [Section 46.3.4, “Resource Conditions”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-resource-conditions) +- [Section 46.3.5, “Web Application Conditions”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-web-application-conditions) +- [Section 46.3.6, “SpEL Expression Conditions”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spel-conditions) + +### 46.3.1 Class Conditions + +The `@ConditionalOnClass` and `@ConditionalOnMissingClass` annotations let configuration be included based on the presence or absence of specific classes. Due to the fact that annotation metadata is parsed by using [ASM](http://asm.ow2.org/), you can use the `value` attribute to refer to the real class, even though that class might not actually appear on the running application classpath. You can also use the `name` attribute if you prefer to specify the class name by using a `String` value. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you use `@ConditionalOnClass` or `@ConditionalOnMissingClass` as a part of a meta-annotation to compose your own composed annotations, you must use `name` as referring to the class in such a case is not handled. | + +### 46.3.2 Bean Conditions + +The `@ConditionalOnBean` and `@ConditionalOnMissingBean` annotations let a bean be included based on the presence or absence of specific beans. You can use the `value` attribute to specify beans by type or `name` to specify beans by name. The `search` attribute lets you limit the `ApplicationContext` hierarchy that should be considered when searching for beans. + +When placed on a `@Bean` method, the target type defaults to the return type of the method, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +public class MyAutoConfiguration { + + @Bean + @ConditionalOnMissingBean + public MyService myService() { ... } + +} + +``` + +In the preceding example, the `myService` bean is going to be created if no bean of type `MyService` is already contained in the `ApplicationContext`. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You need to be very careful about the order in which bean definitions are added, as these conditions are evaluated based on what has been processed so far. For this reason, we recommend using only `@ConditionalOnBean` and `@ConditionalOnMissingBean` annotations on auto-configuration classes (since these are guaranteed to load after any user-defined bean definitions have been added). | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `@ConditionalOnBean` and `@ConditionalOnMissingBean` do not prevent `@Configuration` classes from being created. Using these conditions at the class level is equivalent to marking each contained `@Bean` method with the annotation. | + +### 46.3.3 Property Conditions + +The `@ConditionalOnProperty` annotation lets configuration be included based on a Spring Environment property. Use the `prefix` and `name` attributes to specify the property that should be checked. By default, any property that exists and is not equal to `false` is matched. You can also create more advanced checks by using the `havingValue` and `matchIfMissing` attributes. + +### 46.3.4 Resource Conditions + +The `@ConditionalOnResource` annotation lets configuration be included only when a specific resource is present. Resources can be specified by using the usual Spring conventions, as shown in the following example: `file:/home/user/test.dat`. + +### 46.3.5 Web Application Conditions + +The `@ConditionalOnWebApplication` and `@ConditionalOnNotWebApplication` annotations let configuration be included depending on whether the application is a “web application”. A web application is any application that uses a Spring `WebApplicationContext`, defines a `session` scope, or has a `StandardServletEnvironment`. + +### 46.3.6 SpEL Expression Conditions + +The `@ConditionalOnExpression` annotation lets configuration be included based on the result of a [SpEL expression](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/core.html#expressions). + +## 46.4 Testing your Auto-configuration + +An auto-configuration can be affected by many factors: user configuration (`@Bean` definition and `Environment` customization), condition evaluation (presence of a particular library), and others. Concretely, each test should create a well defined `ApplicationContext` that represents a combination of those customizations.`ApplicationContextRunner` provides a great way to achieve that. + +`ApplicationContextRunner` is usually defined as a field of the test class to gather the base, common configuration. The following example makes sure that`UserServiceAutoConfiguration` is always invoked: + +``` +private final ApplicationContextRunner contextRunner = new ApplicationContextRunner() + .withConfiguration(AutoConfigurations.of(UserServiceAutoConfiguration.class)); + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If multiple auto-configurations have to be defined, there is no need to order their declarations as they are invoked in the exact same order as when running the application. | + +Each test can use the runner to represent a particular use case. For instance, the sample below invokes a user configuration (`UserConfiguration`) and checks that the auto-configuration backs off properly. Invoking `run` provides a callback context that can be used with `Assert4J`. + +``` +@Test +public void defaultServiceBacksOff() { + this.contextRunner.withUserConfiguration(UserConfiguration.class) + .run((context) -> { + assertThat(context).hasSingleBean(UserService.class); + assertThat(context.getBean(UserService.class)).isSameAs( + context.getBean(UserConfiguration.class).myUserService()); + }); +} + +@Configuration +static class UserConfiguration { + + @Bean + public UserService myUserService() { + return new UserService("mine"); + } + +} + +``` + +It is also possible to easily customize the `Environment`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Test +public void serviceNameCanBeConfigured() { + this.contextRunner.withPropertyValues("user.name=test123").run((context) -> { + assertThat(context).hasSingleBean(UserService.class); + assertThat(context.getBean(UserService.class).getName()).isEqualTo("test123"); + }); +} + +``` + +### 46.4.1 Simulating a Web Context + +If you need to test an auto-configuration that only operates in a Servlet or Reactive web application context, use the `WebApplicationContextRunner` or`ReactiveWebApplicationContextRunner` respectively. + +### 46.4.2 Overriding the Classpath + +It is also possible to test what happens when a particular class and/or package is not present at runtime. Spring Boot ships with a `FilteredClassLoader` that can easily be used by the runner. In the following example, we assert that if `UserService` is not present, the auto-configuration is properly disabled: + +``` +@Test +public void serviceIsIgnoredIfLibraryIsNotPresent() { + this.contextRunner.withClassLoader(new FilteredClassLoader(UserService.class)) + .run((context) -> assertThat(context).doesNotHaveBean("userService")); +} + +``` + +## 46.5 Creating Your Own Starter + +A full Spring Boot starter for a library may contain the following components: + +- The `autoconfigure` module that contains the auto-configuration code. +- The `starter` module that provides a dependency to the `autoconfigure` module as well as the library and any additional dependencies that are typically useful. In a nutshell, adding the starter should provide everything needed to start using that library. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You may combine the auto-configuration code and the dependency management in a single module if you do not need to separate those two concerns. | + +### 46.5.1 Naming + +You should make sure to provide a proper namespace for your starter. Do not start your module names with `spring-boot`, even if you use a different Maven `groupId`. We may offer official support for the thing you auto-configure in the future. + +As a rule of thumb, you should name a combined module after the starter. For example, assume that you are creating a starter for "acme" and that you name the auto-configure module `acme-spring-boot-autoconfigure` and the starter `acme-spring-boot-starter`. If you only have one module that combines the two, name it `acme-spring-boot-starter`. + +Also, if your starter provides configuration keys, use a unique namespace for them. In particular, do not include your keys in the namespaces that Spring Boot uses (such as `server`, `management`, `spring`, and so on). If you use the same namespace, we may modify these namespaces in the future in ways that break your modules. + +Make sure to [trigger meta-data generation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#configuration-metadata-annotation-processor) so that IDE assistance is available for your keys as well. You may want to review the generated meta-data (`META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json`) to make sure your keys are properly documented. + +### 46.5.2 `autoconfigure` Module + +The `autoconfigure` module contains everything that is necessary to get started with the library. It may also contain configuration key definitions (such as`@ConfigurationProperties`) and any callback interface that can be used to further customize how the components are initialized. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You should mark the dependencies to the library as optional so that you can include the `autoconfigure` module in your projects more easily. If you do it that way, the library is not provided and, by default, Spring Boot backs off. | + +### 46.5.3 Starter Module + +The starter is really an empty jar. Its only purpose is to provide the necessary dependencies to work with the library. You can think of it as an opinionated view of what is required to get started. + +Do not make assumptions about the project in which your starter is added. If the library you are auto-configuring typically requires other starters, mention them as well. Providing a proper set of *default* dependencies may be hard if the number of optional dependencies is high, as you should avoid including dependencies that are unnecessary for a typical usage of the library. In other words, you should not include optional dependencies. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Either way, your starter must reference the core Spring Boot starter (`spring-boot-starter`) directly or indirectly (i.e. no need to add it if your starter relies on another starter). If a project is created with only your custom starter, Spring Boot’s core features will be honoured by the presence of the core starter. | + +## 47. Kotlin support + +[Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org/) is a statically-typed language targeting the JVM (and other platforms) which allows writing concise and elegant code while providing [interoperability](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/java-interop.html) with existing libraries written in Java. + +Spring Boot provides Kotlin support by leveraging the support in other Spring projects such as Spring Framework, Spring Data, and Reactor. See the [Spring Framework Kotlin support documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.4.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/languages.html#kotlin) for more information. + +The easiest way to start with Spring Boot and Kotlin is to create a project via [start.spring.io](https://start.spring.io/#!language=kotlin). Feel free to join the #spring channel of [Kotlin Slack](http://slack.kotlinlang.org/) or ask a question with `spring` and `kotlin` tags on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/spring+kotlin) if you need support. + +## 47.1 Requirements + +Spring Boot supports Kotlin 1.2.x. To use Kotlin, `org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib` and `org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect` must be present on the classpath. The `kotlin-stdlib` variants `kotlin-stdlib-jdk7` and `kotlin-stdlib-jdk8` can also be used. + +Since [Kotlin classes are final by default](https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/classes-final-by-default/166), you are likely to want to configure [kotlin-spring](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/compiler-plugins.html#spring-support) plugin in order to automatically open Spring-annotated classes so that they can be proxied. + +[Jackson’s Kotlin module](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-module-kotlin) is required for serializing / deserializing JSON data in Kotlin. It is automatically registered when found on the classpath. A warning message is logged if Jackson and Kotlin are present but the Jackson Kotlin module is not. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| These dependencies and plugins are provided by default if one bootstraps a Kotlin project on [start.spring.io](https://start.spring.io/#!language=kotlin). | + +## 47.2 Null-safety + +One of Kotlin’s key features is [null-safety](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/null-safety.html). It deals with `null` values at compile time rather than deferring the problem to runtime and encountering a `NullPointerException`. This helps to eliminate a common source of bugs without paying the cost of wrappers like `Optional`. Kotlin also allows using functional constructs with nullable values as described in this [comprehensive guide to null-safety in Kotlin](http://www.baeldung.com/kotlin-null-safety). + +Although Java does not allow one to express null-safety in its type system, Spring Framework, Spring Data, and Reactor now provide null-safety of their API via tooling-friendly annotations. By default, types from Java APIs used in Kotlin are recognized as [platform types](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/java-interop.html#null-safety-and-platform-types) for which null-checks are relaxed. [Kotlin’s support for JSR 305 annotations](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/java-interop.html#jsr-305-support) combined with nullability annotations provide null-safety for the related Spring API in Kotlin. + +The JSR 305 checks can be configured by adding the `-Xjsr305` compiler flag with the following options: `-Xjsr305={strict|warn|ignore}`. The default behavior is the same as `-Xjsr305=warn`. The `strict` value is required to have null-safety taken in account in Kotlin types inferred from Spring API but should be used with the knowledge that Spring API nullability declaration could evolve even between minor releases and more checks may be added in the future). + +WARN: Generic type arguments, varargs and array elements nullability are not yet supported. See [SPR-15942](https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-15942) for up-to-date information. Also be aware that Spring Boot’s own API is [not yet annotated](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/10712). + +## 47.3 Kotlin API + +### 47.3.1 runApplication + +Spring Boot provides an idiomatic way to run an application with `runApplication(*args)` as shown in the following example: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication +import org.springframework.boot.runApplication + +@SpringBootApplication +class FooApplication + +fun main(args: Array) { + runApplication(*args) +} + +``` + +This is a drop-in replacement for `SpringApplication.run(FooApplication::class.java, *args)`. It also allows customization of the application as shown in the following example: + +``` +runApplication(*args) { + setBannerMode(OFF) +} + +``` + +### 47.3.2 Extensions + +Kotlin [extensions](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/extensions.html) provide the ability to extend existing classes with additional functionality. The Spring Boot Kotlin API makes use of these extensions to add new Kotlin specific conveniences to existing APIs. + +`TestRestTemplate` extensions, similar to those provided by Spring Framework for `RestOperations` in Spring Framework, are provided. Among other things, the extensions make it possible to take advantage of Kotlin reified type parameters. + +## 47.4 Dependency management + +In order to avoid mixing different version of Kotlin dependencies on the classpath, dependency management of the following Kotlin dependencies is provided: + +- `kotlin-reflect` +- `kotlin-runtime` +- `kotlin-stdlib` +- `kotlin-stdlib-jdk7` +- `kotlin-stdlib-jdk8` +- `kotlin-stdlib-jre7` +- `kotlin-stdlib-jre8` + +With Maven, the Kotlin version can be customized via the `kotlin.version` property and plugin management is provided for `kotlin-maven-plugin`. With Gradle, the Spring Boot plugin automatically aligns the `kotlin.version` with the version of the Kotlin plugin. + +## 47.5 `@ConfigurationProperties` + +`@ConfigurationProperties` currently only works with `lateinit` or nullable `var` properties (the former is recommended), since immutable classes initialized by constructors are [not yet supported](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/8762). + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties("example.kotlin") +class KotlinExampleProperties { + + lateinit var foo1: String + + lateinit var foo2: String + + lateinit val bar = Bar() + + class Bar { + + lateinit var bar1: String + + lateinit var bar2: String + + } + +} + +``` + +## 47.6 Testing + +While it is possible to use JUnit 4 (the default provided by `spring-boot-starter-test`) to test Kotlin code, JUnit 5 is recommended. JUnit 5 enables a test class to be instantiated once and reused for all of the class’s tests. This makes it possible to use `@BeforeAll` and `@AfterAll` annotations on non-static methods, which is a good fit for Kotlin. + +To use JUnit 5, exclude `junit:junit` dependency from `spring-boot-starter-test`, add JUnit 5 dependencies, and configure the Maven or Gradle plugin accordingly. See the [JUnit 5 documentation](https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#dependency-metadata-junit-jupiter-samples) for more details.

If you have specific questions, take a look at the [how-to](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto) section. + +If you are comfortable with Spring Boot’s core features, you can continue on and read about [production-ready features](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready). + +# Part V. Spring Boot Actuator: Production-ready features + + + +Spring Boot includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and manage your application when you push it to production. You can choose to manage and monitor your application by using HTTP endpoints or with JMX. Auditing, health, and metrics gathering can also be automatically applied to your application. + +## 49. Enabling Production-ready Features + +The [`spring-boot-actuator`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator) module provides all of Spring Boot’s production-ready features. The simplest way to enable the features is to add a dependency to the `spring-boot-starter-actuator` ‘Starter’. + +**Definition of Actuator** + +An actuator is a manufacturing term that refers to a mechanical device for moving or controlling something. Actuators can generate a large amount of motion from a small change. + +To add the actuator to a Maven based project, add the following ‘Starter’ dependency: + +``` + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-actuator + + + +``` + +For Gradle, use the following declaration: + +``` +dependencies { + compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator") +} + +``` + +## 50. Endpoints + +Actuator endpoints let you monitor and interact with your application. Spring Boot includes a number of built-in endpoints and lets you add your own. For example, the`health` endpoint provides basic application health information. + +Each individual endpoint can be [enabled or disabled](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-endpoints-enabling-endpoints). This controls whether or not the endpoint is created and its bean exists in the application context. To be remotely accessible an endpoint also has to be [exposed via JMX or HTTP](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-endpoints-exposing-endpoints). Most applications choose HTTP, where the ID of the endpoint along with a prefix of `/actuator` is mapped to a URL. For example, by default, the `health` endpoint is mapped to `/actuator/health`. + +The following technology-agnostic endpoints are available: + +| ID | Description | Enabled by default | +| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | +| `auditevents` | Exposes audit events information for the current application. | Yes | +| `beans` | Displays a complete list of all the Spring beans in your application. | Yes | +| `conditions` | Shows the conditions that were evaluated on configuration and auto-configuration classes and the reasons why they did or did not match. | Yes | +| `configprops` | Displays a collated list of all `@ConfigurationProperties`. | Yes | +| `env` | Exposes properties from Spring’s `ConfigurableEnvironment`. | Yes | +| `flyway` | Shows any Flyway database migrations that have been applied. | Yes | +| `health` | Shows application health information. | Yes | +| `httptrace` | Displays HTTP trace information (by default, the last 100 HTTP request-response exchanges). | Yes | +| `info` | Displays arbitrary application info. | Yes | +| `loggers` | Shows and modifies the configuration of loggers in the application. | Yes | +| `liquibase` | Shows any Liquibase database migrations that have been applied. | Yes | +| `metrics` | Shows ‘metrics’ information for the current application. | Yes | +| `mappings` | Displays a collated list of all `@RequestMapping` paths. | Yes | +| `scheduledtasks` | Displays the scheduled tasks in your application. | Yes | +| `sessions` | Allows retrieval and deletion of user sessions from a Spring Session-backed session store. Not available when using Spring Session’s support for reactive web applications. | Yes | +| `shutdown` | Lets the application be gracefully shutdown. | No | +| `threaddump` | Performs a thread dump. | Yes | + +If your application is a web application (Spring MVC, Spring WebFlux, or Jersey), you can use the following additional endpoints: + +| ID | Description | Enabled by default | +| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | +| `heapdump` | Returns a GZip compressed `hprof` heap dump file. | Yes | +| `jolokia` | Exposes JMX beans over HTTP (when Jolokia is on the classpath, not available for WebFlux). | Yes | +| `logfile` | Returns the contents of the logfile (if `logging.file` or `logging.path` properties have been set). Supports the use of the HTTP `Range` header to retrieve part of the log file’s content. | Yes | +| `prometheus` | Exposes metrics in a format that can be scraped by a Prometheus server. | Yes | + +To learn more about the Actuator’s endpoints and their request and response formats, please refer to the separate API documentation ([HTML](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/actuator-api//html) or [PDF](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/actuator-api//pdf/spring-boot-actuator-web-api.pdf)). + +## 50.1 Enabling Endpoints + +By default, all endpoints except for `shutdown` are enabled. To configure the enablement of an endpoint, use its `management.endpoint..enabled` property. The following example enables the `shutdown` endpoint: + +``` +management.endpoint.shutdown.enabled=true + +``` + +If you prefer endpoint enablement to be opt-in rather than opt-out, set the `management.endpoints.enabled-by-default` property to `false` and use individual endpoint `enabled` properties to opt back in. The following example enables the `info` endpoint and disables all other endpoints: + +``` +management.endpoints.enabled-by-default=false +management.endpoint.info.enabled=true + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Disabled endpoints are removed entirely from the application context. If you want to change only the technologies over which an endpoint is exposed, use the [`include` and `exclude` properties](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-endpoints-exposing-endpoints) instead. | + +## 50.2 Exposing Endpoints + +Since Endpoints may contain sensitive information, careful consideration should be given about when to expose them. The following table shows the default exposure for the built-in endpoints: + +| ID | JMX | Web | +| ---------------- | ---- | ---- | +| `auditevents` | Yes | No | +| `beans` | Yes | No | +| `conditions` | Yes | No | +| `configprops` | Yes | No | +| `env` | Yes | No | +| `flyway` | Yes | No | +| `health` | Yes | Yes | +| `heapdump` | N/A | No | +| `httptrace` | Yes | No | +| `info` | Yes | Yes | +| `jolokia` | N/A | No | +| `logfile` | N/A | No | +| `loggers` | Yes | No | +| `liquibase` | Yes | No | +| `metrics` | Yes | No | +| `mappings` | Yes | No | +| `prometheus` | N/A | No | +| `scheduledtasks` | Yes | No | +| `sessions` | Yes | No | +| `shutdown` | Yes | No | +| `threaddump` | Yes | No | + +To change which endpoints are exposed, use the following technology-specific `include` and `exclude` properties: + +| Property | Default | +| ------------------------------------------- | -------------- | +| `management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.exclude` | | +| `management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.include` | `*` | +| `management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude` | | +| `management.endpoints.web.exposure.include` | `info, health` | + +The `include` property lists the IDs of the endpoints that are exposed. The `exclude` property lists the IDs of the endpoints that should not be exposed. The `exclude`property takes precedence over the `include` property. Both `include` and `exclude` properties can be configured with a list of endpoint IDs. + +For example, to stop exposing all endpoints over JMX and only expose the `health` and `info` endpoints, use the following property: + +``` +management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.include=health,info + +``` + +`*` can be used to select all endpoints. For example, to expose everything over HTTP except the `env` and `beans` endpoints, use the following properties: + +``` +management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=* +management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude=env,beans + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If your application is exposed publicly, we strongly recommend that you also [secure your endpoints](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-endpoints-security). | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you want to implement your own strategy for when endpoints are exposed, you can register an `EndpointFilter` bean. | + +## 50.3 Securing HTTP Endpoints + +You should take care to secure HTTP endpoints in the same way that you would any other sensitive URL. If Spring Security is present, endpoints are secured by default using Spring Security’s content-negotiation strategy. If you wish to configure custom security for HTTP endpoints, for example, only allow users with a certain role to access them, Spring Boot provides some convenient `RequestMatcher` objects that can be used in combination with Spring Security. + +A typical Spring Security configuration might look something like the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +public class ActuatorSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { + + @Override + protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { + http.requestMatcher(EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()).authorizeRequests() + .anyRequest().hasRole("ENDPOINT_ADMIN") + .and() + .httpBasic(); + } + +} + +``` + +The preceding example uses `EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()` to match a request to any endpoint and then ensures that all have the `ENDPOINT_ADMIN` role. Several other matcher methods are also available on `EndpointRequest`. See the API documentation ([HTML](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/actuator-api//html) or [PDF](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/actuator-api//pdf/spring-boot-actuator-web-api.pdf)) for details. + +If you deploy applications behind a firewall, you may prefer that all your actuator endpoints can be accessed without requiring authentication. You can do so by changing the `management.endpoints.web.exposure.include` property, as follows: + +**application.properties.** + +``` +management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=* + +``` + + + +Additionally, if Spring Security is present, you would need to add custom security configuration that allows unauthenticated access to the endpoints as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +public class ActuatorSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { + + @Override + protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { + http.requestMatcher(EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()).authorizeRequests() + .anyRequest().permitAll() + } + +} + +``` + +## 50.4 Configuring Endpoints + +Endpoints automatically cache responses to read operations that do not take any parameters. To configure the amount of time for which an endpoint will cache a response, use its `cache.time-to-live` property. The following example sets the time-to-live of the `beans` endpoint’s cache to 10 seconds: + +**application.properties.** + +``` +management.endpoint.beans.cache.time-to-live=10s + +``` + + + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The prefix `management.endpoint.` is used to uniquely identify the endpoint that is being configured. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| When making an authenticated HTTP request, the `Principal` is considered as input to the endpoint and, therefore, the response will not be cached. | + +## 50.5 Hypermedia for Actuator Web Endpoints + +A “discovery page” is added with links to all the endpoints. The “discovery page” is available on `/actuator` by default. + +When a custom management context path is configured, the “discovery page” automatically moves from `/actuator` to the root of the management context. For example, if the management context path is `/management`, then the discovery page is available from `/management`. When the management context path is set to `/`, the discovery page is disabled to prevent the possibility of a clash with other mappings. + +## 50.6 Actuator Web Endpoint Paths + +By default, endpoints are exposed over HTTP under the `/actuator` path by using the ID of the endpoint. For example, the `beans` endpoint is exposed under `/actuator/beans`. If you want to map endpoints to a different path, you can use the `management.endpoints.web.path-mapping` property. Also, if you want change the base path, you can use `management.endpoints.web.base-path`. + +The following example remaps `/actuator/health` to `/healthcheck`: + +**application.properties.** + +``` +management.endpoints.web.base-path=/ +management.endpoints.web.path-mapping.health=healthcheck + +``` + + + +## 50.7 CORS Support + +[Cross-origin resource sharing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing) (CORS) is a [W3C specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/) that lets you specify in a flexible way what kind of cross-domain requests are authorized. If you use Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux, Actuator’s web endpoints can be configured to support such scenarios. + +CORS support is disabled by default and is only enabled once the `management.endpoints.web.cors.allowed-origins` property has been set. The following configuration permits `GET` and `POST` calls from the `example.com` domain: + +``` +management.endpoints.web.cors.allowed-origins=http://example.com +management.endpoints.web.cors.allowed-methods=GET,POST + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See [CorsEndpointProperties](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/actuate/autoconfigure/endpoint/web/CorsEndpointProperties.java) for a complete list of options. | + +## 50.8 Implementing Custom Endpoints + +If you add a `@Bean` annotated with `@Endpoint`, any methods annotated with `@ReadOperation`, `@WriteOperation`, or `@DeleteOperation` are automatically exposed over JMX and, in a web application, over HTTP as well. Endpoints can be exposed over HTTP using Jersey, Spring MVC, or Spring WebFlux. + +You can also write technology-specific endpoints by using `@JmxEndpoint` or `@WebEndpoint`. These endpoints are restricted to their respective technologies. For example, `@WebEndpoint` is exposed only over HTTP and not over JMX. + +You can write technology-specific extensions by using `@EndpointWebExtension` and `@EndpointJmxExtension`. These annotations let you provide technology-specific operations to augment an existing endpoint. + +Finally, if you need access to web-framework-specific functionality, you can implement Servlet or Spring `@Controller` and `@RestController` endpoints at the cost of them not being available over JMX or when using a different web framework. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you add endpoints as a library feature, consider adding a configuration class annotated with `@ManagementContextConfiguration` to `/META-INF/spring.factories` under the following key:`org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.web.ManagementContextConfiguration`. If you do so, and if your users ask for a separate management port or address, the endpoint moves to a child context with all the other web endpoints. | + +### 50.8.1 Receiving Input + +Operations on an endpoint receive input via their parameters. When exposed via the web, the values for these parameters are taken from the URL’s query parameters and from the JSON request body. When exposed via JMX, the parameters are mapped to the parameters of the MBean’s operations. Parameters are required by default. They can be made optional by annotating them with `@org.springframework.lang.Nullable`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| To allow the input to be mapped to the operation method’s parameters, code implementing an endpoint should be compiled with `-parameters`. This will happen automatically if you are using Spring Boot’s Gradle plugin or if you are using Maven and `spring-boot-starter-parent`. | + +#### Input type conversion + +The parameters passed to endpoint operation methods are, if necessary, automatically converted to the required type. Before calling an operation method, the input received via JMX or an HTTP request is converted to the required types using an instance of `ApplicationConversionService`. + +### 50.8.2 Custom Web Endpoints + +Operations on a `@Endpoint`, `@WebEndpoint`, or `@WebEndpointExtension` are automatically exposed over HTTP using Jersey, Spring MVC, or Spring WebFlux. + +#### Web Endpoint Request Predicates + +A request predicate is automatically generated for each operation on a web-exposed endpoint. + +#### Path + +The path of the predicate is determined by the ID of the endpoint and the base path of web-exposed endpoints. The default base path is `/actuator`. For example, an endpoint with the ID `sessions` will use `/actuator/sessions` as its path in the predicate. + +The path can be further customized by annotating one or more parameters of the operation method with `@Selector`. Such a parameter is added to the path predicate as a path variable. The variable’s value is passed into the operation method when the endpoint operation is invoked. + +#### HTTP method + +The HTTP method of the predicate is determined by the operation type, as shown in the following table: + +| Operation | HTTP method | +| ------------------ | ----------- | +| `@ReadOperation` | `GET` | +| `@WriteOperation` | `POST` | +| `@DeleteOperation` | `DELETE` | + +#### Consumes + +For a `@WriteOperation` (HTTP `POST`) that uses the request body, the consumes clause of the predicate is `application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json, application/json`. For all other operations the consumes clause is empty. + +#### Produces + +The produces clause of the predicate can be determined by the `produces` attribute of the `@DeleteOperation`, `@ReadOperation`, and `@WriteOperation`annotations. The attribute is optional. If it is not used, the produces clause is determined automatically. + +If the operation method returns `void` or `Void` the produces clause is empty. If the operation method returns a `org.springframework.core.io.Resource`, the produces clause is `application/octet-stream`. For all other operations the produces clause is`application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json, application/json`. + +#### Web Endpoint Response Status + +The default response status for an endpoint operation depends on the operation type (read, write, or delete) and what, if anything, the operation returns. + +A `@ReadOperation` returns a value, the response status will be 200 (OK). If it does not return a value, the response status will be 404 (Not Found). + +If a `@WriteOperation` or `@DeleteOperation` returns a value, the response status will be 200 (OK). If it does not return a value the response status will be 204 (No Content). + +If an operation is invoked without a required parameter, or with a parameter that cannot be converted to the required type, the operation method will not be called and the response status will be 400 (Bad Request). + +#### Web Endpoint Range Requests + +An HTTP range request can be used to request part of an HTTP resource. When using Spring MVC or Spring Web Flux, operations that return a `org.springframework.core.io.Resource` automatically support range requests. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Range requests are not supported when using Jersey. | + +#### Web Endpoint Security + +An operation on a web endpoint or a web-specific endpoint extension can receive the current `java.security.Principal` or`org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.SecurityContext` as a method parameter. The former is typically used in conjuction with `@Nullable` to provide different behaviour for authenticated and unauthenticated users. The latter is typically used to perform authorization checks using its `isUserInRole(String)`method. + +### 50.8.3 Servlet endpoints + +A `Servlet` can be exposed as an endpoint by implementing a class annotated with `@ServletEndpoint` that also implements `Supplier`. Servlet endpoints provide deeper integration with the Servlet container but at the expose of portability. They are intended to be used to expose an existing `Servlet` as an endpoint. For new endpoints, the `@Endpoint` and `@WebEndpoint` annotations should be preferred whenever possible. + +### 50.8.4 Controller endpoints + +`@ControllerEndpoint` and `@RestControllerEndpoint` can be used to implement an endpoint that is only exposed by Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux. Methods are mapped using the standard annotations Spring MVC and Spring WevFlux annotations such as `@RequestMapping` and `@GetMapping`, with the endpoint’s ID being used as a prefix for the path. Controller endpoints provide deeper integration with Spring’s web frameworks but at the expense of portability. The `@Endpoint` and `@WebEndpoint` annotations should be preferred whenever possible. + +## 50.9 Health Information + +You can use health information to check the status of your running application. It is often used by monitoring software to alert someone when a production system goes down. The information exposed by the `health` endpoint depends on the `management.endpoint.health.show-details` property which can be configured with one of the following values: + +| Name | Description | +| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `never` | Details are never shown. | +| `when-authorized` | Details are only shown to authorized users. Authorized roles can be configured using `management.endpoint.health.roles`. | +| `always` | Details are shown to all users. | + +The default value is `never`. A user is considered to be authorized when they are in one or more of the endpoint’s roles. If the endpoint has no configured roles (the default) all authenticated users are considered to be authorized. The roles can be configured using the `management.endpoint.health.roles` property. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you have secured your application and wish to use `always`, your security configuration must permit access to the health endpoint for both authenticated and unauthenticated users. | + +Health information is collected from all [`HealthIndicator`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/actuate/health/HealthIndicator.java) beans defined in your `ApplicationContext`. Spring Boot includes a number of auto-configured`HealthIndicators`, and you can also write your own. By default, the final system state is derived by the `HealthAggregator`, which sorts the statuses from each`HealthIndicator` based on an ordered list of statuses. The first status in the sorted list is used as the overall health status.

In such cases, a custom implementation of the [`HealthAggregator`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/actuate/health/HealthAggregator.java) interface also needs to be provided, or the default implementation has to be configured by using the `management.health.status.order` configuration property. + +For example, assume a new `Status` with code `FATAL` is being used in one of your `HealthIndicator` implementations. To configure the severity order, add the following property to your application properties: + +``` +management.health.status.order=FATAL, DOWN, OUT_OF_SERVICE, UNKNOWN, UP + +``` + +The HTTP status code in the response reflects the overall health status (for example, `UP` maps to 200, while `OUT_OF_SERVICE` and `DOWN` map to 503). You might also want to register custom status mappings if you access the health endpoint over HTTP. For example, the following property maps `FATAL` to 503 (service unavailable): + +``` +management.health.status.http-mapping.FATAL=503 + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you need more control, you can define your own `HealthStatusHttpMapper` bean. | + +The following table shows the default status mappings for the built-in statuses: + +| Status | Mapping | +| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- | +| DOWN | SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE (503) | +| OUT_OF_SERVICE | SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE (503) | +| UP | No mapping by default, so http status is 200 | +| UNKNOWN | No mapping by default, so http status is 200 | + +### 50.9.3 Reactive Health Indicators + +For reactive applications, such as those using Spring WebFlux, `ReactiveHealthIndicator` provides a non-blocking contract for getting application health.

Monitoring and Management over HTTP + +If you are developing a web application, Spring Boot Actuator auto-configures all enabled endpoints to be exposed over HTTP.

For example, your application might already use `/actuator` for another purpose. You can use the `management.endpoints.web.base-path` property to change the prefix for your management endpoint, as shown in the following example: + +``` +management.endpoints.web.base-path=/manage + +``` + +The preceding `application.properties` example changes the endpoint from `/actuator/{id}` to `/manage/{id}` (for example, `/manage/info`). + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Unless the management port has been configured to [expose endpoints by using a different HTTP port](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-customizing-management-server-port), `management.endpoints.web.base-path` is relative to `server.servlet.context-path`.

Monitoring and Management over JMX + +Java Management Extensions (JMX) provide a standard mechanism to monitor and manage applications. By default, Spring Boot exposes management endpoints as JMX MBeans under the `org.springframework.boot` domain. + +## 52.1 Customizing MBean Names + +The name of the MBean is usually generated from the `id` of the endpoint. For example, the `health` endpoint is exposed as `org.springframework.boot:type=Endpoint,name=Health`. + +If your application contains more than one Spring `ApplicationContext`, you may find that names clash. To solve this problem, you can set the`management.endpoints.jmx.unique-names` property to `true` so that MBean names are always unique. + +You can also customize the JMX domain under which endpoints are exposed. The following settings show an example of doing so in `application.properties`: + +``` +management.endpoints.jmx.domain=com.example.myapp +management.endpoints.jmx.unique-names=true + +``` + +## 52.2 Disabling JMX Endpoints + +If you do not want to expose endpoints over JMX, you can set the `management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.exclude` property to `*`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.exclude=* + +``` + +## 52.3 Using Jolokia for JMX over HTTP + +Jolokia is a JMX-HTTP bridge that provides an alternative method of accessing JMX beans. To use Jolokia, include a dependency to `org.jolokia:jolokia-core`. For example, with Maven, you would add the following dependency: + +``` + + org.jolokia + jolokia-core + + +``` + +The Jolokia endpoint can then be exposed by adding `jolokia` or `*` to the `management.endpoints.web.exposure.include` property. You can then access it by using `/actuator/jolokia` on your management HTTP server. + +### 52.3.1 Customizing Jolokia + +Jolokia has a number of settings that you would traditionally configure by setting servlet parameters. With Spring Boot, you can use your `application.properties`file. To do so, prefix the parameter with `management.endpoint.jolokia.config.`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +management.endpoint.jolokia.config.debug=true + +``` + +### 52.3.2 Disabling Jolokia + +If you use Jolokia but do not want Spring Boot to configure it, set the `management.endpoint.jolokia.enabled` property to `false`, as follows: + +``` +management.endpoint.jolokia.enabled=false + +``` + +## 53. Loggers + +Spring Boot Actuator includes the ability to view and configure the log levels of your application at runtime. You can view either the entire list or an individual logger’s configuration, which is made up of both the explicitly configured logging level as well as the effective logging level given to it by the logging framework. These levels can be one of: + +- `TRACE` +- `DEBUG` +- `INFO` +- `WARN` +- `ERROR` +- `FATAL` +- `OFF` +- `null` + +`null` indicates that there is no explicit configuration. + +## 53.1 Configure a Logger + +To configure a given logger, `POST` a partial entity to the resource’s URI, as shown in the following example: + +``` +{ + "configuredLevel": "DEBUG" +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| To “reset” the specific level of the logger (and use the default configuration instead), you can pass a value of `null` as the `configuredLevel`. | + +## 54.

You can also use a helper class, `RouterFunctionMetrics`, to instrument applications that use WebFlux’s functional programming model. + +By default, metrics are generated with the name `http.server.requests`. You can customize the name by setting the `management.metrics.web.server.requests-metric-name` property. + +By default, WebFlux-related metrics for the annotation-based programming model are tagged with the following information: + +- `method`, the request’s method (for example, `GET` or `POST`). +- `uri`, the request’s URI template prior to variable substitution, if possible (for example, `/api/person/{id}`). +- `status`, the response’s HTTP status code (for example, `200` or `500`). +- `exception`, the simple class name of any exception that was thrown while handling the request. + +To customize the tags, provide a `@Bean` that implements `WebFluxTagsProvider`. + +By default, metrics for the functional programming model are tagged with the following information: + +- `method`, the request’s method (for example, `GET` or `POST`). +- `uri`, the request’s URI template prior to variable substitution, if possible (for example, `/api/person/{id}`). +- `status`, the response’s HTTP status code (for example, `200` or `500`). + +To customize the tags, use the `defaultTags` method on your `RouterFunctionMetrics` instance. + +### 54.3.3 RestTemplate Metrics + +The instrumentation of any `RestTemplate` created using the auto-configured `RestTemplateBuilder` is enabled. It is also possible to apply`MetricsRestTemplateCustomizer` manually. + +By default, metrics are generated with the name, `http.client.requests`. The name can be customized by setting the `management.metrics.web.client.requests-metric-name` property. + +By default, metrics generated by an instrumented `RestTemplate` are tagged with the following information: + +- `method`, the request’s method (for example, `GET` or `POST`). +- `uri`, the request’s URI template prior to variable substitution, if possible (for example, `/api/person/{id}`). +- `status`, the response’s HTTP status code (for example, `200` or `500`). +- `clientName`, the host portion of the URI. + +To customize the tags, provide a `@Bean` that implements `RestTemplateExchangeTagsProvider`.

For each `MessageSource`, a `counter` is registered. + +### 54.3.5 Cache Metrics + +Auto-configuration enables the instrumentation of all available `Cache`s on startup with metrics prefixed with `cache`. Cache instrumentation is standardized for a basic set of metrics. Additional, cache-specific metrics are also available. + +The following cache libraries are supported: + +- Caffeine +- EhCache 2 +- Hazelcast +- Any compliant JCache (JSR-107) implementation + +Metrics are tagged by the name of the cache and by the name of the `CacheManager` that is derived from the bean name. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Only caches that are available on startup are bound to the registry. For caches created on-the-fly or programmatically after the startup phase, an explicit registration is required. A `CacheMetricsRegistrar` bean is made available to make that process easier. | + +### 54.3.6 DataSource Metrics + +Auto-configuration enables the instrumentation of all available DataSource` objects with a metric named `jdbc`. Data source instrumentation results in gauges representing the currently active, maximum allowed, and minimum allowed connections in the pool. Each of these gauges has a name that is prefixed by `jdbc`. + +Metrics are also tagged by the name of the `DataSource` computed based on the bean name. + +Also, Hikari-specific metrics are exposed with a `hikaricp` prefix. Each metric is tagged by the name of the Pool (can be controlled with `spring.datasource.name`). + +### 54.3.7 RabbitMQ Metrics + +Auto-configuration will enable the instrumentation of all available RabbitMQ connection factories with a metric named `rabbitmq`. + +## 54.4 Registering custom metrics + +To register custom metrics, create a `MeterBinder` bean. By default, all `MeterBinder` beans will be automatically applied to the micrometer `MeterRegistry.Config`. + +## 54.5 Customizing individual metrics + +If you need to apply customizations to specific `Meter` instances you can use the `io.micrometer.core.instrument.config.MeterFilter` interface. By default, all `MeterFilter` beans will be automatically applied to the micrometer `MeterRegistry.Config`. + +For example, if you want to rename the `mytag.region` tag to `mytag.area` for all meter IDs beginning with `com.example`, you can do the following: + +``` +@Bean +public MeterFilter renameRegionTagMeterFilter() { + return MeterFilter.renameTag("com.example", "mytag.region", "mytag.area"); +} + +``` + +### 54.5.1 Per-meter properties + +In addition to `MeterFilter` beans, it’s also possible to apply a limited set of customization on a per-meter basis using properties. Per-meter customizations apply to any all meter IDs that start with the given name. For example, the following will disable any meters that have an ID starting with `example.remote` + +``` +management.metrics.enable.example.remote=false + +``` + +The following properties allow per-meter customization: + + + +**Table 54.1. Per-meter customizations** + +| Property | Description | +| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `management.metrics.enable` | Whether to deny meters from emitting any metrics. | +| `management.metrics.distribution.percentiles-histogram` | Whether to publish a histogram suitable for computing aggregable (across dimension) percentile approximations. | +| `management.metrics.distribution.percentiles` | Publish percentile values computed in your application | +| `management.metrics.distribution.sla` | Publish a cumulative histogram with buckets defined by your SLAs. | + +For more details on concepts behind `percentiles-histogram`, `percentiles` and `sla` refer to the ["Histograms and percentiles" section](https://micrometer.io/docs/concepts#_histograms_and_percentiles) of the micrometer documentation. + +## 54.6 Metrics endpoint + +Spring Boot provides a `metrics` endpoint that can be used diagnostically to examine the metrics collected by an application. The endpoint is not available by default and must be exposed, see [exposing endpoints](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-endpoints-exposing-endpoints) for more details. + +Navigating to `/actuator/metrics` displays a list of available meter names. You can drill down to view information about a particular meter by providing its name as a selector, e.g. `/actuator/metrics/jvm.memory.max`. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The name you use here should match the name used in the code, not the name after it has been naming-convention normalized for a monitoring system it is shipped to. In other words, if `jvm.memory.max` appears as `jvm_memory_max` in Prometheus because of its snake case naming convention, you should still use `jvm.memory.max` as the selector when inspecting the meter in the `metrics` endpoint. | + +You can also add any number of `tag=KEY:VALUE` query parameters to the end of the URL to dimensionally drill down on a meter, e.g.`/actuator/metrics/jvm.memory.max?tag=area:nonheap`. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The reported measurements are the *sum* of the statistics of all meters matching the meter name and any tags that have been applied. So in the example above, the returned "Value" statistic is the sum of the maximum memory footprints of "Code Cache", "Compressed Class Space", and "Metaspace" areas of the heap. If you just wanted to see the maximum size for the "Metaspace", you could add an additional `tag=id:Metaspace`, i.e.`/actuator/metrics/jvm.memory.max?tag=area:nonheap&tag=id:Metaspace`. | + +## 55. Auditing + +Once Spring Security is in play, Spring Boot Actuator has a flexible audit framework that publishes events (by default, “authentication success”, “failure” and “access denied” exceptions). This feature can be very useful for reporting and for implementing a lock-out policy based on authentication failures. To customize published security events, you can provide your own implementations of `AbstractAuthenticationAuditListener` and `AbstractAuthorizationAuditListener`. + +You can also use the audit services for your own business events. To do so, either inject the existing `AuditEventRepository` into your own components and use that directly or publish an `AuditApplicationEvent` with the Spring `ApplicationEventPublisher` (by implementing `ApplicationEventPublisherAware`). + +## 56. HTTP Tracing + +Tracing is automatically enabled for all HTTP requests. You can view the `httptrace` endpoint and obtain basic information about the last 100 request-response exchanges. + +## 56.1 Custom HTTP tracing + +To customize the items that are included in each trace, use the `management.trace.http.include` configuration property. + +By default, an `InMemoryHttpTraceRepository` that stores traces for the last 100 request-response exchanges is used. If you need to expand the capacity, you can define your own instance of the `InMemoryHttpTraceRepository` bean. You can also create your own alternative `HttpTraceRepository` implementation. + +## 57. Process Monitoring + +In the `spring-boot` module, you can find two classes to create files that are often useful for process monitoring: + +- `ApplicationPidFileWriter` creates a file containing the application PID (by default, in the application directory with a file name of `application.pid`). +- `WebServerPortFileWriter` creates a file (or files) containing the ports of the running web server (by default, in the application directory with a file name of`application.port`). + +By default, these writers are not activated, but you can enable: + +- [By Extending Configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-process-monitoring-configuration) +- [Section 57.2, “Programmatically”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-process-monitoring-programmatically) + +## 57.1 Extending Configuration + +In the `META-INF/spring.factories` file, you can activate the listener(s) that writes a PID file, as shown in the following example: + +``` +org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener=\ +org.springframework.boot.system.ApplicationPidFileWriter,\ +org.springframework.boot.system.EmbeddedServerPortFileWriter + +``` + +## 57.2 Programmatically + +You can also activate a listener by invoking the `SpringApplication.addListeners(…)` method and passing the appropriate `Writer` object. This method also lets you customize the file name and path in the `Writer` constructor. + +## 58. Cloud Foundry Support + +Spring Boot’s actuator module includes additional support that is activated when you deploy to a compatible Cloud Foundry instance. The `/cloudfoundryapplication` path provides an alternative secured route to all `@Endpoint` beans. + +The extended support lets Cloud Foundry management UIs (such as the web application that you can use to view deployed applications) be augmented with Spring Boot actuator information. For example, an application status page may include full health information instead of the typical “running” or “stopped” status. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `/cloudfoundryapplication` path is not directly accessible to regular users. In order to use the endpoint, a valid UAA token must be passed with the request. | + +## 58.1 Disabling Extended Cloud Foundry Actuator Support + +If you want to fully disable the `/cloudfoundryapplication` endpoints, you can add the following setting to your `application.properties` file: + +**application.properties.** + +``` +management.cloudfoundry.enabled=false + +``` + + + +## 58.2 Cloud Foundry Self-signed Certificates + +By default, the security verification for `/cloudfoundryapplication` endpoints makes SSL calls to various Cloud Foundry services. If your Cloud Foundry UAA or Cloud Controller services use self-signed certificates, you need to set the following property: + +**application.properties.** + +``` +management.cloudfoundry.skip-ssl-validation=true + +``` + + + +## 58.3 Custom context path + +If the server’s context-path has been configured to anything other then `/`, the Cloud Foundry endpoints will not be available at the root of the application. For example, if `server.servlet.context-path=/foo`, Cloud Foundry endpoints will be available at `/foo/cloudfoundryapplication/*`. + +If you expect the Cloud Foundry endpoints to always be available at `/cloudfoundryapplication/*`, regardless of the server’s context-path, you will need to explicitly configure that in your application. The configuration will differ depending on the web server in use. For Tomcat, the following configuration can be added: + +``` +@Bean +public TomcatServletWebServerFactory servletWebServerFactory() { + return new TomcatServletWebServerFactory() { + + @Override + protected void prepareContext(Host host, + ServletContextInitializer[] initializers) { + super.prepareContext(host, initializers); + StandardContext child = new StandardContext(); + child.addLifecycleListener(new Tomcat.FixContextListener()); + child.setPath("/cloudfoundryapplication"); + ServletContainerInitializer initializer = getServletContextInitializer( + getContextPath()); + child.addServletContainerInitializer(initializer, Collections.emptySet()); + child.setCrossContext(true); + host.addChild(child); + } + + }; +} + +private ServletContainerInitializer getServletContextInitializer(String contextPath) { + return (c, context) -> { + Servlet servlet = new GenericServlet() { + + @Override + public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) + throws ServletException, IOException { + ServletContext context = req.getServletContext() + .getContext(contextPath); + context.getRequestDispatcher("/cloudfoundryapplication").forward(req, + res); + } + + }; + context.addServlet("cloudfoundry", servlet).addMapping("/*"); + }; +} + +``` + +## 59. What to Read Next + +If you want to explore some of the concepts discussed in this chapter, you can take a look at the actuator [sample applications](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples). You also might want to read about graphing tools such as [Graphite](http://graphite.wikidot.com/). + +Otherwise, you can continue on, to read about [‘deployment options’](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#deployment) or jump ahead for some in-depth information about Spring Boot’s *build tool plugins*. + +# Part VI. Deploying Spring Boot Applications + + + +Spring Boot’s flexible packaging options provide a great deal of choice when it comes to deploying your application. You can deploy Spring Boot applications to a variety of cloud platforms, to container images (such as Docker), or to virtual/real machines. + +This section covers some of the more common deployment scenarios. + +## 60. Deploying to the Cloud + +Spring Boot’s executable jars are ready-made for most popular cloud PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) providers. These providers tend to require that you “bring your own container”. They manage application processes (not Java applications specifically), so they need an intermediary layer that adapts *your* application to the *cloud’s* notion of a running process. + +Two popular cloud providers, Heroku and Cloud Foundry, employ a “buildpack” approach. The buildpack wraps your deployed code in whatever is needed to *start* your application. It might be a JDK and a call to `java`, an embedded web server, or a full-fledged application server. A buildpack is pluggable, but ideally you should be able to get by with as few customizations to it as possible. This reduces the footprint of functionality that is not under your control. It minimizes divergence between development and production environments. + +Ideally, your application, like a Spring Boot executable jar, has everything that it needs to run packaged within it. + +In this section, we look at what it takes to get the [simple application that we developed](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#getting-started-first-application) in the “Getting Started” section up and running in the Cloud. + +## 60.1 Cloud Foundry + +Cloud Foundry provides default buildpacks that come into play if no other buildpack is specified. The Cloud Foundry [Java buildpack](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack) has excellent support for Spring applications, including Spring Boot. You can deploy stand-alone executable jar applications as well as traditional `.war` packaged applications. + +Once you have built your application (by using, for example, `mvn clean package`) and have [installed the `cf` command line tool](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/install-go-cli.html), deploy your application by using the `cf push` command, substituting the path to your compiled `.jar`. Be sure to have [logged in with your `cf` command line client](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/getting-started.html#login) before pushing an application. The following line shows using the `cf push` command to deploy an application: + +``` +$ cf push acloudyspringtime -p target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| In the preceding example, we substitute `acloudyspringtime` for whatever value you give `cf` as the name of your application. | + +See the [`cf push` documentation](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/getting-started.html#push) for more options. If there is a Cloud Foundry [`manifest.yml`](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/manifest.html) file present in the same directory, it is considered. + +At this point, `cf` starts uploading your application, producing output similar to the following example: + +``` +Uploading acloudyspringtime...

The application is now live! + +Once your application is live, you can verify the status of the deployed application by using the `cf apps` command, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ cf apps +Getting applications in ... +OK + +name requested state instances memory disk urls +... +acloudyspringtime started 1/1 512M 1G acloudyspringtime.cfapps.io +... + +``` + +Once Cloud Foundry acknowledges that your application has been deployed, you should be able to find the application at the URI given. In the preceding example, you could find it at `http://acloudyspringtime.cfapps.io/`. + +### 60.1.1 Binding to Services + +By default, metadata about the running application as well as service connection information is exposed to the application as environment variables (for example:`$VCAP_SERVICES`). This architecture decision is due to Cloud Foundry’s polyglot (any language and platform can be supported as a buildpack) nature. Process-scoped environment variables are language agnostic. + +Environment variables do not always make for the easiest API, so Spring Boot automatically extracts them and flattens the data into properties that can be accessed through Spring’s `Environment` abstraction, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Component +class MyBean implements EnvironmentAware { + + private String instanceId; + + @Override + public void setEnvironment(Environment environment) { + this.instanceId = environment.getProperty("vcap.application.instance_id"); + } + + // ... + +} + +``` + +All Cloud Foundry properties are prefixed with `vcap`. You can use `vcap` properties to access application information (such as the public URL of the application) and service information (such as database credentials). See the [‘CloudFoundryVcapEnvironmentPostProcessor’](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/cloud/CloudFoundryVcapEnvironmentPostProcessor.html) Javadoc for complete details. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The [Spring Cloud Connectors](https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-connectors/) project is a better fit for tasks such as configuring a DataSource. Spring Boot includes auto-configuration support and a `spring-boot-starter-cloud-connectors` starter. | + +## 60.2 Heroku + +Heroku is another popular PaaS platform. To customize Heroku builds, you provide a `Procfile`, which provides the incantation required to deploy an application. Heroku assigns a `port` for the Java application to use and then ensures that routing to the external URI works. + +You must configure your application to listen on the correct port. The following example shows the `Procfile` for our starter REST application: + +``` +web: java -Dserver.port=$PORT -jar target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + +``` + +Spring Boot makes `-D` arguments available as properties accessible from a Spring `Environment` instance. The `server.port` configuration property is fed to the embedded Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow instance, which then uses the port when it starts up.

The options include: + +- AWS Elastic Beanstalk +- AWS Code Deploy +- AWS OPS Works +- AWS Cloud Formation +- AWS Container Registry + +Each has different features and pricing models. In this document, we describe only the simplest option: AWS Elastic Beanstalk. + +### 60.4.1 AWS Elastic Beanstalk + +As described in the official [Elastic Beanstalk Java guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Java.html), there are two main options to deploy a Java application. You can either use the “Tomcat Platform” or the “Java SE platform”. + +#### Using the Tomcat Platform + +This option applies to Spring Boot projects that produce a war file. No special configuration is required. You need only follow the official guide. + +#### Using the Java SE Platform + +This option applies to Spring Boot projects that produce a jar file and run an embedded web container. Elastic Beanstalk environments run an nginx instance on port 80 to proxy the actual application, running on port 5000. To configure it, add the following line to your `application.properties` file: + +``` +server.port=5000 + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| By default, Elastic Beanstalk uploads sources and compiles them in AWS. However, it is best to upload the binaries instead. To do so, add lines similar to the following to your `.elasticbeanstalk/config.yml` file:`deploy: artifact: target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar` | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| By default an Elastic Beanstalk environment is load balanced. The load balancer has a significant cost. To avoid that cost, set the environment type to “Single instance”, as described in [the Amazon documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/environments-create-wizard.html#environments-create-wizard-capacity). You can also create single instance environments by using the CLI and the following command:`eb create -s` | + +### 60.4.2 Summary + +This is one of the easiest ways to get to AWS, but there are more things to cover, such as how to integrate Elastic Beanstalk into any CI / CD tool, use the Elastic Beanstalk Maven plugin instead of the CLI, and others. There is a [blog post](https://exampledriven.wordpress.com/2017/01/09/spring-boot-aws-elastic-beanstalk-example/) covering these topics more in detail. + +## 60.5 Boxfuse and Amazon Web Services + +[Boxfuse](https://boxfuse.com/) works by turning your Spring Boot executable jar or war into a minimal VM image that can be deployed unchanged either on VirtualBox or on AWS. Boxfuse comes with deep integration for Spring Boot and uses the information from your Spring Boot configuration file to automatically configure ports and health check URLs. Boxfuse leverages this information both for the images it produces as well as for all the resources it provisions (instances, security groups, elastic load balancers, and so on). + +Once you have created a [Boxfuse account](https://console.boxfuse.com/), connected it to your AWS account, installed the latest version of the Boxfuse Client, and ensured that the application has been built by Maven or Gradle (by using, for example, `mvn clean package`), you can deploy your Spring Boot application to AWS with a command similar to the following: + +``` +$ boxfuse run myapp-1.0.jar -env=prod + +``` + +See the [`boxfuse run` documentation](https://boxfuse.com/docs/commandline/run.html) for more options. If there is a [`boxfuse.conf`](https://boxfuse.com/docs/commandline/#configuration) file present in the current directory, it is considered. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| By default, Boxfuse activates a Spring profile named `boxfuse` on startup. If your executable jar or war contains an[`application-boxfuse.properties`](https://boxfuse.com/docs/payloads/springboot.html#configuration) file, Boxfuse bases its configuration on the properties it contains. | + +At this point, `boxfuse` creates an image for your application, uploads it, and configures and starts the necessary resources on AWS, resulting in output similar to the following example: + +``` +Fusing Image for myapp-1.0.jar ... +Image fused in 00:06.838s (53937 K) -> axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 +Creating axelfontaine/myapp ... +Pushing axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 ... +Verifying axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 ... +Creating Elastic IP ... +Mapping myapp-axelfontaine.boxfuse.io to 52.28.233.167 ... +Waiting for AWS to create an AMI for axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 in eu-central-1 (this may take up to 50 seconds) ... +AMI created in 00:23.557s -> ami-d23f38cf +Creating security group boxfuse-sg_axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 ... +Launching t2.micro instance of axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 (ami-d23f38cf) in eu-central-1 ... +Instance launched in 00:30.306s -> i-92ef9f53 +Waiting for AWS to boot Instance i-92ef9f53 and Payload to start at http://52.28.235.61/ ... +Payload started in 00:29.266s -> http://52.28.235.61/ +Remapping Elastic IP 52.28.233.167 to i-92ef9f53 ... +Waiting 15s for AWS to complete Elastic IP Zero Downtime transition ... +Deployment completed successfully. axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 is up and running at http://myapp-axelfontaine.boxfuse.io/ + +``` + +Your application should now be up and running on AWS. + +See the blog post on [deploying Spring Boot apps on EC2](https://boxfuse.com/blog/spring-boot-ec2.html) as well as the [documentation for the Boxfuse Spring Boot integration](https://boxfuse.com/docs/payloads/springboot.html) to get started with a Maven build to run the app. + +## 60.6 Google Cloud + +Google Cloud has several options that can be used to launch Spring Boot applications. The easiest to get started with is probably App Engine, but you could also find ways to run Spring Boot in a container with Container Engine or on a virtual machine with Compute Engine. + +To run in App Engine, you can create a project in the UI first, which sets up a unique identifier for you and also sets up HTTP routes. Add a Java app to the project and leave it empty and then use the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads) to push your Spring Boot app into that slot from the command line or CI build. + +App Engine needs you to create an `app.yaml` file to describe the resources your app requires. Normally, you put this file in `src/main/appengine`, and it should resemble the following file: + +``` +service: default + +runtime: java +env: flex + +runtime_config: + jdk: openjdk8 + +handlers: +- url: /.* + script: this field is required, but ignored + +manual_scaling: + instances: 1 + +health_check: + enable_health_check: False + +env_variables: + ENCRYPT_KEY: your_encryption_key_here + +``` + +You can deploy the app (for example, with a Maven plugin) by adding the project ID to the build configuration, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + com.google.cloud.tools + appengine-maven-plugin + 1.3.0 + + myproject + + + +``` + +Then deploy with `mvn appengine:deploy` (if you need to authenticate first, the build fails). + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Google App Engine Classic is tied to the Servlet 2.5 API, so you cannot deploy a Spring Application there without some modifications. See the [Servlet 2.5 section](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-servlet-2-5) of this guide. | + +## 61. Installing Spring Boot Applications + +In additional to running Spring Boot applications by using `java -jar`, it is also possible to make fully executable applications for Unix systems. A fully executable jar can be executed like any other executable binary or it can be [registered with `init.d` or `systemd`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#deployment-service). This makes it very easy to install and manage Spring Boot applications in common production environments. + +| ![[Caution]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/caution.png) | Caution | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | +| Fully executable jars work by embedding an extra script at the front of the file. Currently, some tools do not accept this format, so you may not always be able to use this technique. For example, `jar -xf` may silently fail to extract a jar or war that has been made fully executable. It is recommended that you make your jar or war fully executable only if you intend to execute it directly, rather than running it with `java -jar` or deploying it to a servlet container. | | + +To create a ‘fully executable’ jar with Maven, use the following plugin configuration: + +``` + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + true + + + +``` + +The following example shows the equivalent Gradle configuration: + +``` +bootJar { + launchScript() +} + +``` + +You can then run your application by typing `./my-application.jar` (where `my-application` is the name of your artifact). The directory containing the jar is used as your application’s working directory. + +## 61.1 Supported Operating Systems + +The default script supports most Linux distributions and is tested on CentOS and Ubuntu. Other platforms, such as OS X and FreeBSD, require the use of a custom`embeddedLaunchScript`. + +## 61.2 Unix/Linux Services + +Spring Boot application can be easily started as Unix/Linux services by using either `init.d` or `systemd`. + +### 61.2.1 Installation as an `init.d` Service (System V) + +If you configured Spring Boot’s Maven or Gradle plugin to generate a [fully executable jar](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#deployment-install), and you do not use a custom `embeddedLaunchScript`, your application can be used as an `init.d` service. To do so, symlink the jar to `init.d` to support the standard `start`, `stop`, `restart`, and `status` commands. + +The script supports the following features: + +- Starts the services as the user that owns the jar file +- Tracks the application’s PID by using `/var/run//.pid` +- Writes console logs to `/var/log/.log` + +Assuming that you have a Spring Boot application installed in `/var/myapp`, to install a Spring Boot application as an `init.d` service, create a symlink, as follows: + +``` +$ sudo ln -s /var/myapp/myapp.jar /etc/init.d/myapp + +``` + +Once installed, you can start and stop the service in the usual way. For example, on a Debian-based system, you could start it with the following command: + +``` +$ service myapp start + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If your application fails to start, check the log file written to `/var/log/.log` for errors. | + +You can also flag the application to start automatically by using your standard operating system tools. For example, on Debian, you could use the following command: + +``` +$ update-rc.d myapp defaults + +``` + +#### Securing an `init.d` Service + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The following is a set of guidelines on how to secure a Spring Boot application that runs as an init.d service. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of everything that should be done to harden an application and the environment in which it runs. | + +When executed as root, as is the case when root is being used to start an init.d service, the default executable script runs the application as the user who owns the jar file. You should never run a Spring Boot application as `root`, so your application’s jar file should never be owned by root. Instead, create a specific user to run your application and use `chown` to make it the owner of the jar file, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ chown bootapp:bootapp your-app.jar + +``` + +In this case, the default executable script runs the application as the `bootapp` user. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| To reduce the chances of the application’s user account being compromised, you should consider preventing it from using a login shell. For example, you can set the account’s shell to `/usr/sbin/nologin`. | + +You should also take steps to prevent the modification of your application’s jar file. Firstly, configure its permissions so that it cannot be written and can only be read or executed by its owner, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ chmod 500 your-app.jar + +``` + +Second, you should also take steps to limit the damage if your application or the account that’s running it is compromised. If an attacker does gain access, they could make the jar file writable and change its contents. One way to protect against this is to make it immutable by using `chattr`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ sudo chattr +i your-app.jar + +``` + +This will prevent any user, including root, from modifying the jar. + +If root is used to control the application’s service and you [use a `.conf` file](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#deployment-script-customization-conf-file) to customize its startup, the `.conf` file is read and evaluated by the root user. It should be secured accordingly. Use `chmod` so that the file can only be read by the owner and use `chown` to make root the owner, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ chmod 400 your-app.conf +$ sudo chown root:root your-app.conf + +``` + +### 61.2.2 Installation as a `systemd` Service + +`systemd` is the successor of the System V init system and is now being used by many modern Linux distributions. Although you can continue to use `init.d` scripts with `systemd`, it is also possible to launch Spring Boot applications by using `systemd` ‘service’ scripts. + +Assuming that you have a Spring Boot application installed in `/var/myapp`, to install a Spring Boot application as a `systemd` service, create a script named `myapp.service` and place it in `/etc/systemd/system` directory. The following script offers an example: + +``` +[Unit] +Description=myapp +After=syslog.target + +[Service] +User=myapp +ExecStart=/var/myapp/myapp.jar +SuccessExitStatus=143 + +[Install] +WantedBy=multi-user.target + +``` + +| ![[Important]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/important.png) | Important | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | --------- | +| Remember to change the `Description`, `User`, and `ExecStart` fields for your application. | | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `ExecStart` field does not declare the script action command, which means that the `run` command is used by default. | + +Note that, unlike when running as an `init.d` service, the user that runs the application, the PID file, and the console log file are managed by `systemd` itself and therefore must be configured by using appropriate fields in the ‘service’ script. Consult the [service unit configuration man page](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html) for more details. + +To flag the application to start automatically on system boot, use the following command: + +``` +$ systemctl enable myapp.service + +``` + +Refer to `man systemctl` for more details. + +### 61.2.3 Customizing the Startup Script + +The default embedded startup script written by the Maven or Gradle plugin can be customized in a number of ways. For most people, using the default script along with a few customizations is usually enough. If you find you cannot customize something that you need to, use the `embeddedLaunchScript` option to write your own file entirely. + +#### Customizing the Start Script when It Is Written + +It often makes sense to customize elements of the start script as it is written into the jar file. For example, init.d scripts can provide a “description”. Since you know the description up front (and it need not change), you may as well provide it when the jar is generated. + +To customize written elements, use the `embeddedLaunchScriptProperties` option of the Spring Boot Maven or Gradle plugins. + +The following property substitutions are supported with the default script: + +| Name | Description | +| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `mode` | The script mode. Defaults to `auto`. | +| `initInfoProvides` | The `Provides` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `spring-boot-application` for Gradle and to `${project.artifactId}` for Maven. | +| `initInfoRequiredStart` | The `Required-Start` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `$remote_fs $syslog $network`. | +| `initInfoRequiredStop` | The `Required-Stop` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `$remote_fs $syslog $network`. | +| `initInfoDefaultStart` | The `Default-Start` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `2 3 4 5`. | +| `initInfoDefaultStop` | The `Default-Stop` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `0 1 6`. | +| `initInfoShortDescription` | The `Short-Description` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `Spring Boot Application` for Gradle and to `${project.name}` for Maven. | +| `initInfoDescription` | The `Description` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `Spring Boot Application` for Gradle and to `${project.description}` (falling back to `${project.name}`) for Maven. | +| `initInfoChkconfig` | The `chkconfig` section of “INIT INFO”. Defaults to `2345 99 01`. | +| `confFolder` | The default value for `CONF_FOLDER`. Defaults to the folder containing the jar. | +| `inlinedConfScript` | Reference to a file script that should be inlined in the default launch script. This can be used to set environmental variables such as `JAVA_OPTS` before any external config files are loaded. | +| `logFolder` | The default value for `LOG_FOLDER`. Only valid for an `init.d` service. | +| `logFilename` | The default value for `LOG_FILENAME`. Only valid for an `init.d` service. | +| `pidFolder` | The default value for `PID_FOLDER`. Only valid for an `init.d` service. | +| `pidFilename` | The default value for the name of the PID file in `PID_FOLDER`. Only valid for an `init.d` service. | +| `useStartStopDaemon` | Whether the `start-stop-daemon` command, when it’s available, should be used to control the process. Defaults to `true`. | +| `stopWaitTime` | The default value for `STOP_WAIT_TIME`. Only valid for an `init.d` service. Defaults to 60 seconds. | + +#### Customizing a Script When It Runs + +For items of the script that need to be customized *after* the jar has been written, you can use environment variables or a [config file](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#deployment-script-customization-conf-file). + +The following environment properties are supported with the default script: + +| Variable | Description | +| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `MODE` | The “mode” of operation. The default depends on the way the jar was built but is usually `auto` (meaning it tries to guess if it is an init script by checking if it is a symlink in a directory called `init.d`). You can explicitly set it to `service` so that the `stop|start|status|restart` commands work or to `run` if you want to run the script in the foreground. | +| `USE_START_STOP_DAEMON` | Whether the `start-stop-daemon` command, when it’s available, should be used to control the process. Defaults to `true`. | +| `PID_FOLDER` | The root name of the pid folder (`/var/run` by default). | +| `LOG_FOLDER` | The name of the folder in which to put log files (`/var/log` by default). | +| `CONF_FOLDER` | The name of the folder from which to read .conf files (same folder as jar-file by default). | +| `LOG_FILENAME` | The name of the log file in the `LOG_FOLDER` (`.log` by default). | +| `APP_NAME` | The name of the app. If the jar is run from a symlink, the script guesses the app name. If it is not a symlink or you want to explicitly set the app name, this can be useful. | +| `RUN_ARGS` | The arguments to pass to the program (the Spring Boot app). | +| `JAVA_HOME` | The location of the `java` executable is discovered by using the `PATH` by default, but you can set it explicitly if there is an executable file at `$JAVA_HOME/bin/java`. | +| `JAVA_OPTS` | Options that are passed to the JVM when it is launched. | +| `JARFILE` | The explicit location of the jar file, in case the script is being used to launch a jar that it is not actually embedded. | +| `DEBUG` | If not empty, sets the `-x` flag on the shell process, making it easy to see the logic in the script. | +| `STOP_WAIT_TIME` | The time in seconds to wait when stopping the application before forcing a shutdown (`60` by default). | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `PID_FOLDER`, `LOG_FOLDER`, and `LOG_FILENAME` variables are only valid for an `init.d` service. For `systemd`, the equivalent customizations are made by using the ‘service’ script. See the [service unit configuration man page](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html) for more details. | + +With the exception of `JARFILE` and `APP_NAME`, the settings listed in the preceding section can be configured by using a `.conf` file. The file is expected to be next to the jar file and have the same name but suffixed with `.conf` rather than `.jar`. For example, a jar named `/var/myapp/myapp.jar` uses the configuration file named `/var/myapp/myapp.conf`, as shown in the following example: + +**myapp.conf.** + +``` +JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024M +LOG_FOLDER=/custom/log/folder + +``` + + + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you do not like having the config file next to the jar file, you can set a `CONF_FOLDER` environment variable to customize the location of the config file. | + +To learn about securing this file appropriately, see [the guidelines for securing an init.d service](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#deployment-initd-service-securing). + +## 61.3 Microsoft Windows Services + +A Spring Boot application can be started as a Windows service by using [`winsw`](https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw). + +A ([separately maintained sample](https://github.com/snicoll-scratches/spring-boot-daemon)) describes step-by-step how you can create a Windows service for your Spring Boot application. + +## 62.

You can also bootstrap a new project or write your own command for it. + +## 63. Installing the CLI + +The Spring Boot CLI (Command-Line Interface) can be installed manually by using SDKMAN! (the SDK Manager) or by using Homebrew or MacPorts if you are an OSX user. See *Section 10.2, “Installing the Spring Boot CLI”* in the “Getting started” section for comprehensive installation instructions. + +## 64. Using the CLI + +Once you have installed the CLI, you can run it by typing `spring` and pressing Enter at the command line.

The Spring Boot CLI is completely self-contained, so you do not need any external Groovy installation. + +The following example shows a “hello world” web application written in Groovy: + +**hello.groovy.** + +``` +@RestController +class WebApplication { + + @RequestMapping("/") + String home() { + "Hello World!" + } + +} + +``` + + + +To compile and run the application, type the following command: + +``` +$ spring run hello.groovy + +``` + +To pass command-line arguments to the application, use `--` to separate the commands from the “spring” command arguments, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring run hello.groovy -- --server.port=9000 + +``` + +To set JVM command line arguments, you can use the `JAVA_OPTS` environment variable, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m spring run hello.groovy + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| When setting `JAVA_OPTS` on Microsoft Windows, make sure to quote the entire instruction, such as `set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx2048m"`. Doing so ensures the values are properly passed to the process. | + +### 64.1.1 Deduced “grab” Dependencies + +Standard Groovy includes a `@Grab` annotation, which lets you declare dependencies on third-party libraries. This useful technique lets Groovy download jars in the same way as Maven or Gradle would but without requiring you to use a build tool. + +Spring Boot extends this technique further and tries to deduce which libraries to “grab” based on your code. For example, since the `WebApplication` code shown previously uses `@RestController` annotations, Spring Boot grabs "Tomcat" and "Spring MVC". + +The following items are used as “grab hints”: + +| Items | Grabs | +| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | +| `JdbcTemplate`, `NamedParameterJdbcTemplate`, `DataSource` | JDBC Application. | +| `@EnableJms` | JMS Application. | +| `@EnableCaching` | Caching abstraction. | +| `@Test` | JUnit. | +| `@EnableRabbit` | RabbitMQ. | +| `@EnableReactor` | Project Reactor. | +| extends `Specification` | Spock test. | +| `@EnableBatchProcessing` | Spring Batch. | +| `@MessageEndpoint` `@EnableIntegration` | Spring Integration. | +| `@Controller` `@RestController` `@EnableWebMvc` | Spring MVC + Embedded Tomcat. | +| `@EnableWebSecurity` | Spring Security. | +| `@EnableTransactionManagement` | Spring Transaction Management. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See subclasses of [`CompilerAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-cli/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/cli/compiler/CompilerAutoConfiguration.java) in the Spring Boot CLI source code to understand exactly how customizations are applied. | + +### 64.1.2 Deduced “grab” Coordinates + +Spring Boot extends Groovy’s standard `@Grab` support by letting you specify a dependency without a group or version (for example, `@Grab('freemarker')`). Doing so consults Spring Boot’s default dependency metadata to deduce the artifact’s group and version. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The default metadata is tied to the version of the CLI that you use. it changes only when you move to a new version of the CLI, putting you in control of when the versions of your dependencies may change. A table showing the dependencies and their versions that are included in the default metadata can be found in the [appendix](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#appendix-dependency-versions). | + +### 64.1.3 Default Import Statements + +To help reduce the size of your Groovy code, several `import` statements are automatically included. Notice how the preceding example refers to `@Component`, `@RestController`, and `@RequestMapping` without needing to use fully-qualified names or `import` statements. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Many Spring annotations work without using `import` statements. Try running your application to see what fails before adding imports. | + +### 64.1.4 Automatic Main Method + +Unlike the equivalent Java application, you do not need to include a `public static void main(String[] args)` method with your `Groovy` scripts. A`SpringApplication` is automatically created, with your compiled code acting as the `source`. + +### 64.1.5 Custom Dependency Management + +By default, the CLI uses the dependency management declared in `spring-boot-dependencies` when resolving `@Grab` dependencies. Additional dependency management, which overrides the default dependency management, can be configured by using the `@DependencyManagementBom` annotation. The annotation’s value should specify the coordinates (`groupId:artifactId:version`) of one or more Maven BOMs. + +For example, consider the following declaration: + +``` +@DependencyManagementBom("com.example.custom-bom:1.0.0") + +``` + +The preceding declaration picks up `custom-bom-1.0.0.pom` in a Maven repository under `com/example/custom-versions/1.0.0/`. + +When you specify multiple BOMs, they are applied in the order in which you declare them, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@DependencyManagementBom(["com.example.custom-bom:1.0.0", + "com.example.another-bom:1.0.0"]) + +``` + +The preceding example indicates that the dependency management in `another-bom` overrides the dependency management in `custom-bom`. + +You can use `@DependencyManagementBom` anywhere that you can use `@Grab`. However, to ensure consistent ordering of the dependency management, you can use `@DependencyManagementBom` at most once in your application. A useful source of dependency management (which is a superset of Spring Boot’s dependency management) is the [Spring IO Platform](https://platform.spring.io/), which you might include with the following line: + +``` +@DependencyManagementBom('io.spring.platform:platform-bom:1.1.2.RELEASE') + +``` + +## 64.2 Applications with Multiple Source Files + +You can use “shell globbing” with all commands that accept file input. Doing so lets you use multiple files from a single directory, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring run *.groovy + +``` + +## 64.3 Packaging Your Application + +You can use the `jar` command to package your application into a self-contained executable jar file, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring jar my-app.jar *.groovy + +``` + +The resulting jar contains the classes produced by compiling the application and all of the application’s dependencies so that it can then be run by using `java -jar`. The jar file also contains entries from the application’s classpath. You can add and remove explicit paths to the jar by using `--include` and `--exclude`. Both are comma-separated, and both accept prefixes, in the form of “+” and “-”, to signify that they should be removed from the defaults. The default includes are as follows: + +``` +public/**, resources/**, static/**, templates/**, META-INF/**, * + +``` + +The default excludes are as follows: + +``` +.*, repository/**, build/**, target/**, **/*.jar, **/*.groovy + +``` + +Type `spring help jar` on the command line for more information. + +## 64.4 Initialize a New Project + +The `init` command lets you create a new project by using [start.spring.io](https://start.spring.io/) without leaving the shell, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring init --dependencies=web,data-jpa my-project +Using service at https://start.spring.io +Project extracted to '/Users/developer/example/my-project' + +``` + +The preceding example creates a `my-project` directory with a Maven-based project that uses `spring-boot-starter-web` and `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa`. You can list the capabilities of the service by using the `--list` flag, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring init --list +======================================= +Capabilities of https://start.spring.io +======================================= + +Available dependencies: +----------------------- +actuator - Actuator: Production ready features to help you monitor and manage your application +... +web - Web: Support for full-stack web development, including Tomcat and spring-webmvc +websocket - Websocket: Support for WebSocket development +ws - WS: Support for Spring Web Services + +Available project types: +------------------------ +gradle-build - Gradle Config [format:build, build:gradle] +gradle-project - Gradle Project [format:project, build:gradle] +maven-build - Maven POM [format:build, build:maven] +maven-project - Maven Project [format:project, build:maven] (default) + +... + +``` + +The `init` command supports many options. See the `help` output for more details. For instance, the following command creates a Gradle project that uses Java 8 and `war` packaging: + +``` +$ spring init --build=gradle --java-version=1.8 --dependencies=websocket --packaging=war sample-app.zip +Using service at https://start.spring.io +Content saved to 'sample-app.zip' + +``` + +## 64.5 Using the Embedded Shell + +Spring Boot includes command-line completion scripts for the BASH and zsh shells. If you do not use either of these shells (perhaps you are a Windows user), you can use the `shell` command to launch an integrated shell, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring shell +Spring Boot (v2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT) +Hit TAB to complete. Type \'help' and hit RETURN for help, and \'exit' to quit. + +``` + +From inside the embedded shell, you can run other commands directly: + +``` +$ version +Spring CLI v2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + +``` + +The embedded shell supports ANSI color output as well as `tab` completion. If you need to run a native command, you can use the `!` prefix. To exit the embedded shell, press `ctrl-c`. + +## 64.6 Adding Extensions to the CLI + +You can add extensions to the CLI by using the `install` command. The command takes one or more sets of artifact coordinates in the format `group:artifact:version`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring install com.example:spring-boot-cli-extension:1.0.0.RELEASE + +``` + +In addition to installing the artifacts identified by the coordinates you supply, all of the artifacts' dependencies are also installed. + +To uninstall a dependency, use the `uninstall` command. As with the `install` command, it takes one or more sets of artifact coordinates in the format of `group:artifact:version`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring uninstall com.example:spring-boot-cli-extension:1.0.0.RELEASE + +``` + +It uninstalls the artifacts identified by the coordinates you supply and their dependencies. + +To uninstall all additional dependencies, you can use the `--all` option, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ spring uninstall --all + +``` + +## 65. Developing Applications with the Groovy Beans DSL + +Spring Framework 4.0 has native support for a `beans{}` “DSL” (borrowed from [Grails](http://grails.org/)), and you can embed bean definitions in your Groovy application scripts by using the same format. This is sometimes a good way to include external features like middleware declarations, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +class Application implements CommandLineRunner { + + @Autowired + SharedService service + + @Override + void run(String... args) { + println service.message + } + +} + +import my.company.SharedService + +beans { + service(SharedService) { + message = "Hello World" + } +} + +``` + +You can mix class declarations with `beans{}` in the same file as long as they stay at the top level, or, if you prefer, you can put the beans DSL in a separate file. + +## 66. Configuring the CLI with `settings.xml` + +The Spring Boot CLI uses Aether, Maven’s dependency resolution engine, to resolve dependencies. The CLI makes use of the Maven configuration found in `~/.m2/settings.xml` to configure Aether. The following configuration settings are honored by the CLI: + +- Offline +- Mirrors +- Servers +- Proxies +- Profiles + - Activation + - Repositories +- Active profiles + +See [Maven’s settings documentation](https://maven.apache.org/settings.html) for further information. + +## 67. What to Read Next + +There are some [sample groovy scripts](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-cli/samples) available from the GitHub repository that you can use to try out the Spring Boot CLI. There is also extensive Javadoc throughout the [source code](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-cli/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/cli). + +If you find that you reach the limit of the CLI tool, you probably want to look at converting your application to a full Gradle or Maven built “Groovy project”. The next section covers Spring Boot’s "[Build tool plugins](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#build-tool-plugins)", which you can use with Gradle or Maven. + +# Part VIII. Build tool plugins + + + +Spring Boot provides build tool plugins for Maven and Gradle. The plugins offer a variety of features, including the packaging of executable jars. This section provides more details on both plugins as well as some help should you need to extend an unsupported build system. If you are just getting started, you might want to read “[Chapter 13, *Build Systems*](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-build-systems)” from the “[Part III, “Using Spring Boot”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot)” section first. + +## 68. Spring Boot Maven Plugin + +The [Spring Boot Maven Plugin](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin) provides Spring Boot support in Maven, letting you package executable jar or war archives and run an application “in-place”. To use it, you must use Maven 3.2 (or later). + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See the [Spring Boot Maven Plugin Site](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin) for complete plugin documentation. | + +## 68.1 Including the Plugin + +To use the Spring Boot Maven Plugin, include the appropriate XML in the `plugins` section of your `pom.xml`, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + + 4.0.0 + + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + + + + repackage + + + + + + + + +``` + +The preceding configuration repackages a jar or war that is built during the `package` phase of the Maven lifecycle. The following example shows both the repackaged jar as well as the original jar in the `target` directory: + +``` +$ mvn package +$ ls target/*.jar +target/myproject-1.0.0.jar target/myproject-1.0.0.jar.original + +``` + +If you do not include the `` configuration, as shown in the prior example, you can run the plugin on its own (but only if the package goal is used as well), as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ mvn package spring-boot:repackage +$ ls target/*.jar +target/myproject-1.0.0.jar target/myproject-1.0.0.jar.original + +``` + +If you use a milestone or snapshot release, you also need to add the appropriate `pluginRepository` elements, as shown in the following listing: + +``` + + + spring-snapshots + https://repo.spring.io/snapshot + + + spring-milestones + https://repo.spring.io/milestone + + + +``` + +## 68.2 Packaging Executable Jar and War Files + +Once `spring-boot-maven-plugin` has been included in your `pom.xml`, it automatically tries to rewrite archives to make them executable by using the `spring-boot:repackage` goal. You should configure your project to build a jar or war (as appropriate) by using the usual `packaging` element, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + + + jar + + + +``` + +Your existing archive is enhanced by Spring Boot during the `package` phase. The main class that you want to launch can be specified either by using a configuration option or by adding a `Main-Class` attribute to the manifest in the usual way. If you do not specify a main class, the plugin searches for a class with a`public static void main(String[] args)` method. + +To build and run a project artifact, you can type the following: + +``` +$ mvn package +$ java -jar target/mymodule-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + +``` + +To build a war file that is both executable and deployable into an external container, you need to mark the embedded container dependencies as “provided”, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + + + war + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-web + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-tomcat + provided + + + + + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See the “[Section 87.1, “Create a Deployable War File”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-create-a-deployable-war-file)” section for more details on how to create a deployable war file. | + +Advanced configuration options and examples are available in the [plugin info page](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin). + +## 69. Spring Boot Gradle Plugin + +The Spring Boot Gradle Plugin provides Spring Boot support in Gradle, letting you package executable jar or war archives, run Spring Boot applications, and use the dependency management provided by `spring-boot-dependencies`. It requires Gradle 4.0 or later. Please refer to the plugin’s documentation to learn more: + +- Reference ([HTML](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gradle-plugin/reference/html) and [PDF](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gradle-plugin/reference/pdf/spring-boot-gradle-plugin-reference.pdf)) +- [API](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gradle-plugin/api) + +## 70. Spring Boot AntLib Module + +The Spring Boot AntLib module provides basic Spring Boot support for Apache Ant. You can use the module to create executable jars. To use the module, you need to declare an additional `spring-boot` namespace in your `build.xml`, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + ... + + +``` + +You need to remember to start Ant using the `-lib` option, as shown in the following example: + +``` +$ ant -lib + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The “Using Spring Boot” section includes a more complete example of [using Apache Ant with `spring-boot-antlib`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-ant). | + +## 70.1 Spring Boot Ant Tasks + +Once the `spring-boot-antlib` namespace has been declared, the following additional tasks are available: + +- [Section 70.1.1, “`spring-boot:exejar`”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#spring-boot-ant-exejar) +- [Section 70.2, “`spring-boot:findmainclass`”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#spring-boot-ant-findmainclass) + +### 70.1.1 `spring-boot:exejar` + +You can use the `exejar` task to create a Spring Boot executable jar. The following attributes are supported by the task: + +| Attribute | Description | Required | +| ------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `destfile` | The destination jar file to create | Yes | +| `classes` | The root directory of Java class files | Yes | +| `start-class` | The main application class to run | No *(the default is the first class found that declares a main method)* | + +The following nested elements can be used with the task: + +| Element | Description | +| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `resources` | One or more [Resource Collections](https://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/resources.html#collection) describing a set of [Resources](https://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/resources.html) that should be added to the content of the created jar file. | +| `lib` | One or more [Resource Collections](https://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/resources.html#collection) that should be added to the set of jar libraries that make up the runtime dependency classpath of the application. | + +### 70.1.2 Examples + +This section shows two examples of Ant tasks. + +**Specify start-class.** + +``` + + + + + + + + + +``` + + + +**Detect start-class.** + +``` + + + + + + +``` + + + +## 70.2 `spring-boot:findmainclass` + +The `findmainclass` task is used internally by `exejar` to locate a class declaring a `main`. If necessary, you can also use this task directly in your build. The following attributes are supported: + +| Attribute | Description | Required | +| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | +| `classesroot` | The root directory of Java class files | Yes *(unless mainclass is specified)* | +| `mainclass` | Can be used to short-circuit the `main` class search | No | +| `property` | The Ant property that should be set with the result | No *(result will be logged if unspecified)* | + +### 70.2.1 Examples + +This section contains three examples of using `findmainclass`. + +**Find and log.** + +``` + + +``` + + + +**Find and set.** + +``` + + +``` + + + +**Override and set.** + +``` + + +``` + + + +## 71. Supporting Other Build Systems + +If you want to use a build tool other than Maven, Gradle, or Ant, you likely need to develop your own plugin. Executable jars need to follow a specific format and certain entries need to be written in an uncompressed form (see the “[executable jar format](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#executable-jar)” section in the appendix for details). + +The Spring Boot Maven and Gradle plugins both make use of `spring-boot-loader-tools` to actually generate jars. If you need to, you may use this library directly. + +## 71.1 Repackaging Archives + +To repackage an existing archive so that it becomes a self-contained executable archive, use `org.springframework.boot.loader.tools.Repackager`. The `Repackager` class takes a single constructor argument that refers to an existing jar or war archive. Use one of the two available `repackage()` methods to either replace the original file or write to a new destination. Various settings can also be configured on the repackager before it is run. + +## 71.2 Nested Libraries + +When repackaging an archive, you can include references to dependency files by using the `org.springframework.boot.loader.tools.Libraries` interface. We do not provide any concrete implementations of `Libraries` here as they are usually build-system-specific. + +If your archive already includes libraries, you can use `Libraries.NONE`. + +## 71.3 Finding a Main Class + +If you do not use `Repackager.setMainClass()` to specify a main class, the repackager uses [ASM](http://asm.ow2.org/) to read class files and tries to find a suitable class with a `public static void main(String[] args)` method. An exception is thrown if more than one candidate is found. + +## 71.4 Example Repackage Implementation + +The following example shows a typical repackage implementation: + +``` +Repackager repackager = new Repackager(sourceJarFile); +repackager.setBackupSource(false); +repackager.repackage(new Libraries() { + @Override + public void doWithLibraries(LibraryCallback callback) throws IOException { + // Build system specific implementation, callback for each dependency + // callback.library(new Library(nestedFile, LibraryScope.COMPILE)); + } + }); + +``` + +## 72. What to Read Next + +If you are interested in how the build tool plugins work, you can look at the [`spring-boot-tools`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-tools) module on GitHub. More technical details of the executable jar format are covered in [the appendix](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#executable-jar). + +If you have specific build-related questions, you can check out the “[how-to](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto)” guides. + +# Part IX. ‘How-to’ guides + + + +This section provides answers to some common ‘how do I do that…’ questions that often arise when using Spring Boot. Its coverage is not exhaustive, but it does cover quite a lot. + +If you have a specific problem that we do not cover here, you might want to check out [stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/tags/spring-boot) to see if someone has already provided an answer. This is also a great place to ask new questions (please use the `spring-boot` tag). + +We are also more than happy to extend this section. If you want to add a ‘how-to’, send us a [pull request](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master). + +## 73. Spring Boot Application + +This section includes topics relating directly to Spring Boot applications. + +## 73.1 Create Your Own FailureAnalyzer + +[`FailureAnalyzer`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/diagnostics/FailureAnalyzer.html) is a great way to intercept an exception on startup and turn it into a human-readable message, wrapped in a [`FailureAnalysis`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/diagnostics/FailureAnalysis.html). Spring Boot provides such an analyzer for application-context-related exceptions, JSR-303 validations, and more. You can also create your own. + +`AbstractFailureAnalyzer` is a convenient extension of `FailureAnalyzer` that checks the presence of a specified exception type in the exception to handle. You can extend from that so that your implementation gets a chance to handle the exception only when it is actually present. If, for whatever reason, you cannot handle the exception, return `null` to give another implementation a chance to handle the exception. + +`FailureAnalyzer` implementations must be registered in `META-INF/spring.factories`. The following example registers `ProjectConstraintViolationFailureAnalyzer`: + +``` +org.springframework.boot.diagnostics.FailureAnalyzer=\ +com.example.ProjectConstraintViolationFailureAnalyzer + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you need access to the `BeanFactory` or the `Environment`, your `FailureAnalyzer` can simply implement `BeanFactoryAware` or `EnvironmentAware` respectively. | + +## 73.2 Troubleshoot Auto-configuration + +The Spring Boot auto-configuration tries its best to “do the right thing”, but sometimes things fail, and it can be hard to tell why. + +There is a really useful `ConditionEvaluationReport` available in any Spring Boot `ApplicationContext`. You can see it if you enable `DEBUG` logging output. If you use the `spring-boot-actuator` (see [the Actuator chapter](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#)), there is also a `conditions` endpoint that renders the report in JSON. Use that endpoint to debug the application and see what features have been added (and which have not been added) by Spring Boot at runtime. + +Many more questions can be answered by looking at the source code and the Javadoc. When reading the code, remember the following rules of thumb: + +- Look for classes called `*AutoConfiguration` and read their sources. Pay special attention to the `@Conditional*` annotations to find out what features they enable and when. Add `--debug` to the command line or a System property `-Ddebug` to get a log on the console of all the auto-configuration decisions that were made in your app. In a running Actuator app, look at the `conditions` endpoint (`/actuator/conditions` or the JMX equivalent) for the same information. +- Look for classes that are `@ConfigurationProperties` (such as [`ServerProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerProperties.java)) and read from there the available external configuration options. The`@ConfigurationProperties` annotation has a `name` attribute that acts as a prefix to external properties. Thus, `ServerProperties` has `prefix="server"` and its configuration properties are `server.port`, `server.address`, and others. In a running Actuator app, look at the `configprops`endpoint. +- Look for uses of the `bind` method on the `Binder` to pull configuration values explicitly out of the `Environment` in a relaxed manner. It is often used with a prefix. +- Look for `@Value` annotations that bind directly to the `Environment`. +- Look for `@ConditionalOnExpression` annotations that switch features on and off in response to SpEL expressions, normally evaluated with placeholders resolved from the `Environment`. + +## 73.3 Customize the Environment or ApplicationContext Before It Starts + +A `SpringApplication` has `ApplicationListeners` and `ApplicationContextInitializers` that are used to apply customizations to the context or environment. Spring Boot loads a number of such customizations for use internally from `META-INF/spring.factories`. There is more than one way to register additional customizations: + +- Programmatically, per application, by calling the `addListeners` and `addInitializers` methods on `SpringApplication` before you run it. +- Declaratively, per application, by setting the `context.initializer.classes` or `context.listener.classes` properties. +- Declaratively, for all applications, by adding a `META-INF/spring.factories` and packaging a jar file that the applications all use as a library. + +The `SpringApplication` sends some special `ApplicationEvents` to the listeners (some even before the context is created) and then registers the listeners for events published by the `ApplicationContext` as well. See “[Section 23.5, “Application Events and Listeners”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-application-events-and-listeners)” in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section for a complete list. + +It is also possible to customize the `Environment` before the application context is refreshed by using `EnvironmentPostProcessor`. Each implementation should be registered in `META-INF/spring.factories`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +org.springframework.boot.env.EnvironmentPostProcessor=com.example.YourEnvironmentPostProcessor + +``` + +The implementation can load arbitrary files and add them to the `Environment`. For instance, the following example loads a YAML configuration file from the classpath: + +``` +public class EnvironmentPostProcessorExample implements EnvironmentPostProcessor { + + private final YamlPropertySourceLoader loader = new YamlPropertySourceLoader(); + + @Override + public void postProcessEnvironment(ConfigurableEnvironment environment, + SpringApplication application) { + Resource path = new ClassPathResource("com/example/myapp/config.yml"); + PropertySource propertySource = loadYaml(path); + environment.getPropertySources().addLast(propertySource); + } + + private PropertySource loadYaml(Resource path) { + if (!path.exists()) { + throw new IllegalArgumentException("Resource " + path + " does not exist"); + } + try { + return this.loader.load("custom-resource", path).get(0); + } + catch (IOException ex) { + throw new IllegalStateException( + "Failed to load yaml configuration from " + path, ex); + } + } + +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `Environment` has already been prepared with all the usual property sources that Spring Boot loads by default. It is therefore possible to get the location of the file from the environment. The preceding example adds the `custom-resource` property source at the end of the list so that a key defined in any of the usual other locations takes precedence. A custom implementation may define another order. | + +| ![[Caution]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/caution.png) | Caution | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | +| While using `@PropertySource` on your `@SpringBootApplication` may seem to be a convenient and easy way to load a custom resource in the `Environment`, we do not recommend it, because Spring Boot prepares the `Environment` before the `ApplicationContext` is refreshed. Any key defined with `@PropertySource` is loaded too late to have any effect on auto-configuration. | | + +## 73.4 Build an ApplicationContext Hierarchy (Adding a Parent or Root Context) + +You can use the `ApplicationBuilder` class to create parent/child `ApplicationContext` hierarchies. See “[Section 23.4, “Fluent Builder API”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-fluent-builder-api)” in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section for more information. + +## 73.5 Create a Non-web Application + +Not all Spring applications have to be web applications (or web services). If you want to execute some code in a `main` method but also bootstrap a Spring application to set up the infrastructure to use, you can use the `SpringApplication` features of Spring Boot. A `SpringApplication` changes its `ApplicationContext` class, depending on whether it thinks it needs a web application or not. The first thing you can do to help it is to leave the servlet API dependencies off the classpath. If you cannot do that (for example, you run two applications from the same code base) then you can explicitly call `setWebEnvironment(false)` on your `SpringApplication` instance or set the `applicationContextClass` property (through the Java API or with external properties). Application code that you want to run as your business logic can be implemented as a `CommandLineRunner` and dropped into the context as a `@Bean` definition. + +## 74. Properties and Configuration + +This section includes topics about setting and reading properties and configuration settings and their interaction with Spring Boot applications. + +## 74.1 Automatically Expand Properties at Build Time + +Rather than hardcoding some properties that are also specified in your project’s build configuration, you can automatically expand them by instead using the existing build configuration. This is possible in both Maven and Gradle. + +### 74.1.1 Automatic Property Expansion Using Maven + +You can automatically expand properties from the Maven project by using resource filtering. If you use the `spring-boot-starter-parent`, you can then refer to your Maven ‘project properties’ with `@..@` placeholders, as shown in the following example: + +``` +app.encoding=@project.build.sourceEncoding@ +app.java.version=@java.version@ + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Only production configuration is filtered that way (in other words, no filtering is applied on `src/test/resources`). | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you enable the `addResources` flag, the `spring-boot:run` goal can add `src/main/resources` directly to the classpath (for hot reloading purposes). Doing so circumvents the resource filtering and this feature. Instead, you can use the `exec:java` goal or customize the plugin’s configuration. See the [plugin usage page](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin/usage.html) for more details. | + +If you do not use the starter parent, you need to include the following element inside the `` element of your `pom.xml`: + +``` + + + src/main/resources + true + + + +``` + +You also need to include the following element inside ``: + +``` + + org.apache.maven.plugins + maven-resources-plugin + 2.7 + + + @ + + false + + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The `useDefaultDelimiters` property is important if you use standard Spring placeholders (such as `${placeholder}`) in your configuration. If that property is not set to `false`, these may be expanded by the build. | + +### 74.1.2 Automatic Property Expansion Using Gradle + +You can automatically expand properties from the Gradle project by configuring the Java plugin’s `processResources` task to do so, as shown in the following example: + +``` +processResources { + expand(project.properties) +} + +``` + +You can then refer to your Gradle project’s properties by using placeholders, as shown in the following example: + +``` +app.name=${name} +app.description=${description} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Gradle’s `expand` method uses Groovy’s `SimpleTemplateEngine`, which transforms `${..}` tokens. The `${..}` style conflicts with Spring’s own property placeholder mechanism. To use Spring property placeholders together with automatic expansion, escape the Spring property placeholders as follows: `\${..}`. | + +## 74.2 Externalize the Configuration of `SpringApplication` + +A `SpringApplication` has bean properties (mainly setters), so you can use its Java API as you create the application to modify its behavior. Alternatively, you can externalize the configuration by setting properties in `spring.main.*`. For example, in `application.properties`, you might have the following settings: + +``` +spring.main.web-environment=false +spring.main.banner-mode=off + +``` + +Then the Spring Boot banner is not printed on startup, and the application is not a web application. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The preceding example also demonstrates how flexible binding allows the use of underscores (`_`) as well as dashes (`-`) in property names. | + +Properties defined in external configuration override the values specified with the Java API, with the notable exception of the sources used to create the `ApplicationContext`. Consider the following application: + +``` +new SpringApplicationBuilder() + .bannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF) + .sources(demo.MyApp.class) + .run(args); + +``` + +Now consider the following configuration: + +``` +spring.main.sources=com.acme.Config,com.acme.ExtraConfig +spring.main.banner-mode=console + +``` + +The actual application *now* shows the banner (as overridden by configuration) and uses three sources for the `ApplicationContext` (in the following order): `demo.MyApp`, `com.acme.Config`, and `com.acme.ExtraConfig`. + +## 74.3 Change the Location of External Properties of an Application + +By default, properties from different sources are added to the Spring `Environment` in a defined order (see “[Chapter 24, *Externalized Configuration*](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config)” in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section for the exact order). + +A nice way to augment and modify this ordering is to add `@PropertySource` annotations to your application sources. Classes passed to the `SpringApplication`static convenience methods and those added using `setSources()` are inspected to see if they have `@PropertySources`. If they do, those properties are added to the `Environment` early enough to be used in all phases of the `ApplicationContext` lifecycle. Properties added in this way have lower priority than any added by using the default locations (such as `application.properties`), system properties, environment variables, or the command line. + +You can also provide the following System properties (or environment variables) to change the behavior: + +- `spring.config.name` (`SPRING_CONFIG_NAME`): Defaults to `application` as the root of the file name. +- `spring.config.location` (`SPRING_CONFIG_LOCATION`): The file to load (such as a classpath resource or a URL). A separate `Environment` property source is set up for this document and it can be overridden by system properties, environment variables, or the command line. + +No matter what you set in the environment, Spring Boot always loads `application.properties` as described above. By default, if YAML is used, then files with the ‘.yml’ extension are also added to the list. + +Spring Boot logs the configuration files that are loaded at the `DEBUG` level and the candidates it has not found at `TRACE` level. + +See [`ConfigFileApplicationListener`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/context/config/ConfigFileApplicationListener.java) for more detail. + +## 74.4 Use ‘Short’ Command Line Arguments + +Some people like to use (for example) `--port=9000` instead of `--server.port=9000` to set configuration properties on the command line. You can enable this behavior by using placeholders in `application.properties`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +server.port=${port:8080} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you inherit from the `spring-boot-starter-parent` POM, the default filter token of the `maven-resources-plugins` has been changed from `${*}` to `@` (that is, `@maven.token@` instead of `${maven.token}`) to prevent conflicts with Spring-style placeholders. If you have enabled Maven filtering for the `application.properties` directly, you may want to also change the default filter token to use [other delimiters](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/resources-mojo.html#delimiters). | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| In this specific case, the port binding works in a PaaS environment such as Heroku or Cloud Foundry. In those two platforms, the `PORT` environment variable is set automatically and Spring can bind to capitalized synonyms for `Environment` properties. | + +## 74.5 Use YAML for External Properties + +YAML is a superset of JSON and, as such, is a convenient syntax for storing external properties in a hierarchical format, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring: + application: + name: cruncher + datasource: + driverClassName: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver + url: jdbc:mysql://localhost/test +server: + port: 9000 + +``` + +Create a file called `application.yml` and put it in the root of your classpath. Then add `snakeyaml` to your dependencies (Maven coordinates `org.yaml:snakeyaml`, already included if you use the `spring-boot-starter`). A YAML file is parsed to a Java `Map` (like a JSON object), and Spring Boot flattens the map so that it is one level deep and has period-separated keys, as many people are used to with `Properties` files in Java. + +The preceding example YAML corresponds to the following `application.properties` file: + +``` +spring.application.name=cruncher +spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver +spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test +server.port=9000 + +``` + +See “[Section 24.6, “Using YAML Instead of Properties”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-yaml)” in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section for more information about YAML. + +## 74.6 Set the Active Spring Profiles + +The Spring `Environment` has an API for this, but you would normally set a System property (`spring.profiles.active`) or an OS environment variable (`SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE`). Also, you can launch your application with a `-D` argument (remember to put it before the main class or jar archive), as follows: + +``` +$ java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=production demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar + +``` + +In Spring Boot, you can also set the active profile in `application.properties`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.profiles.active=production + +``` + +A value set this way is replaced by the System property or environment variable setting but not by the `SpringApplicationBuilder.profiles()` method. Thus, the latter Java API can be used to augment the profiles without changing the defaults. + +See “[Chapter 25, *Profiles*](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-profiles)” in the “Spring Boot features” section for more information. + +## 74.7 Change Configuration Depending on the Environment + +A YAML file is actually a sequence of documents separated by `---` lines, and each document is parsed separately to a flattened map. + +If a YAML document contains a `spring.profiles` key, then the profiles value (a comma-separated list of profiles) is fed into the Spring`Environment.acceptsProfiles()` method. If any of those profiles is active, that document is included in the final merge (otherwise, it is not), as shown in the following example: + +``` +server: + port: 9000 +--- + +spring: + profiles: development +server: + port: 9001 + +--- + +spring: + profiles: production +server: + port: 0 + +``` + +In the preceding example, the default port is 9000. However, if the Spring profile called ‘development’ is active, then the port is 9001. If ‘production’ is active, then the port is 0. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The YAML documents are merged in the order in which they are encountered. Later values override earlier values. | + +To do the same thing with properties files, you can use `application-${profile}.properties` to specify profile-specific values. + +## 74.8 Discover Built-in Options for External Properties + +Spring Boot binds external properties from `application.properties` (or `.yml` files and other places) into an application at runtime. There is not (and technically cannot be) an exhaustive list of all supported properties in a single location, because contributions can come from additional jar files on your classpath. + +A running application with the Actuator features has a `configprops` endpoint that shows all the bound and bindable properties available through `@ConfigurationProperties`. + +The appendix includes an [`application.properties`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#common-application-properties) example with a list of the most common properties supported by Spring Boot. The definitive list comes from searching the source code for `@ConfigurationProperties` and `@Value` annotations as well as the occasional use of `Binder`. For more about the exact ordering of loading properties, see "[Chapter 24, *Externalized Configuration*](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config)". + +## 75. Embedded Web Servers + +Each Spring Boot web application includes an embedded web server. This feature leads to a number of how-to questions, including how to change the embedded server and how to configure the embedded server. This section answers those questions. + +## 75.1 Use Another Web Server + +Many Spring Boot starters include default embedded containers. `spring-boot-starter-web` includes Tomcat by including `spring-boot-starter-tomcat`, but you can use `spring-boot-starter-jetty` or `spring-boot-starter-undertow` instead. `spring-boot-starter-webflux` includes Reactor Netty by including `spring-boot-starter-reactor-netty`, but you can use `spring-boot-starter-tomcat`, `spring-boot-starter-jetty`, or `spring-boot-starter-undertow` instead. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Many starters support only Spring MVC, so they transitively bring `spring-boot-starter-web` into your application classpath. | + +If you need to use a different HTTP server, you need to exclude the default dependencies and include the one you need. Spring Boot provides separate starters for HTTP servers to help make this process as easy as possible. + +The following Maven example shows how to exclude Tomcat and include Jetty for Spring MVC: + +``` + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-web + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-tomcat + + + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-jetty + + +``` + +The following Gradle example shows how to exclude Netty and include Undertow for Spring WebFlux: + +``` +configurations { + // exclude Reactor Netty + compile.exclude module: 'spring-boot-starter-reactor-netty' +} + +dependencies { + compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux' + // Use Undertow instead + compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-undertow' + // ... +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `spring-boot-starter-reactor-netty` is required to use the `WebClient` class, so you may need to keep a dependency on Netty even when you need to include a different HTTP server. | + +## 75.2 Configure Jetty + +Generally, you can follow the advice from “[Section 74.8, “Discover Built-in Options for External Properties”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-discover-build-in-options-for-external-properties)” about `@ConfigurationProperties`(`ServerProperties` is the main one here). However, you should also look at [`WebServerFactoryCustomizer`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/api/org/springframework/boot/web/server/WebServerFactoryCustomizer.html). The Jetty APIs are quite rich, so, once you have access to the `JettyServletWebServerFactory`, you can modify it in a number of ways. Alternatively, if you need more control and customization, you can add your own `JettyServletWebServerFactory`. + +## 75.3 Add a Servlet, Filter, or Listener to an Application + +There are two ways to add `Servlet`, `Filter`, `ServletContextListener`, and the other listeners supported by the Servlet spec to your application: + +- [Section 75.3.1, “Add a Servlet, Filter, or Listener by Using a Spring Bean”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-add-a-servlet-filter-or-listener-as-spring-bean) +- [Section 75.3.2, “Add Servlets, Filters, and Listeners by Using Classpath Scanning”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-add-a-servlet-filter-or-listener-using-scanning) + +### 75.3.1 Add a Servlet, Filter, or Listener by Using a Spring Bean + +To add a `Servlet`, `Filter`, or Servlet `*Listener` by using a Spring bean, you must provide a `@Bean` definition for it. Doing so can be very useful when you want to inject configuration or dependencies. However, you must be very careful that they do not cause eager initialization of too many other beans, because they have to be installed in the container very early in the application lifecycle. (For example, it is not a good idea to have them depend on your `DataSource` or JPA configuration.) You can work around such restrictions by initializing the beans lazily when first used instead of on initialization. + +In the case of `Filters` and `Servlets`, you can also add mappings and init parameters by adding a `FilterRegistrationBean` or a `ServletRegistrationBean` instead of or in addition to the underlying component. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If no `dispatcherType` is specified on a filter registration, `REQUEST` is used.

To disable registration of a particular `Filter` or `Servlet` bean, create a registration bean for it and mark it as disabled, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean +public FilterRegistrationBean registration(MyFilter filter) { + FilterRegistrationBean registration = new FilterRegistrationBean(filter); + registration.setEnabled(false); + return registration; +} + +``` + +### 75.3.2 Add Servlets, Filters, and Listeners by Using Classpath Scanning + +`@WebServlet`, `@WebFilter`, and `@WebListener` annotated classes can be automatically registered with an embedded servlet container by annotating a `@Configuration` class with `@ServletComponentScan` and specifying the package(s) containing the components that you want to register. By default, `@ServletComponentScan` scans from the package of the annotated class. + +## 75.4 Change the HTTP Port + +In a standalone application, the main HTTP port defaults to `8080` but can be set with `server.port` (for example, in `application.properties` or as a System property). Thanks to relaxed binding of `Environment` values, you can also use `SERVER_PORT` (for example, as an OS environment variable). + +To switch off the HTTP endpoints completely but still create a `WebApplicationContext`, use `server.port=-1`. (Doing so is sometimes useful for testing.) + +For more details, see “[Section 27.4.4, “Customizing Embedded Servlet Containers”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-customizing-embedded-containers)” in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section, or the [`ServerProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/ServerProperties.java) source code. + +## 75.5 Use a Random Unassigned HTTP Port + +To scan for a free port (using OS natives to prevent clashes) use `server.port=0`. + +## 75.6 Discover the HTTP Port at Runtime + +You can access the port the server is running on from log output or from the `ServletWebServerApplicationContext` through its `WebServer`. The best way to get that and be sure that it has been initialized is to add a `@Bean` of type `ApplicationListener` and pull the container out of the event when it is published. + +Tests that use `@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)` can also inject the actual port into a field by using the `@LocalServerPort` annotation, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) +@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) +public class MyWebIntegrationTests { + + @Autowired + ServletWebServerApplicationContext server; + + @LocalServerPort + int port; + + // ... + +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `@LocalServerPort` is a meta-annotation for `@Value("${local.server.port}")`. Do not try to inject the port in a regular application. As we just saw, the value is set only after the container has been initialized. Contrary to a test, application code callbacks are processed early (before the value is actually available). | + +## 75.7 Configure SSL + +SSL can be configured declaratively by setting the various `server.ssl.*` properties, typically in `application.properties` or `application.yml`. The following example shows setting SSL properties in `application.properties`: + +``` +server.port=8443 +server.ssl.key-store=classpath:keystore.jks +server.ssl.key-store-password=secret +server.ssl.key-password=another-secret + +``` + +See [`Ssl`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/web/server/Ssl.java) for details of all of the supported properties. + +Using configuration such as the preceding example means the application no longer supports a plain HTTP connector at port 8080. Spring Boot does not support the configuration of both an HTTP connector and an HTTPS connector through `application.properties`. If you want to have both, you need to configure one of them programmatically. We recommend using `application.properties` to configure HTTPS, as the HTTP connector is the easier of the two to configure programmatically. See the [`spring-boot-sample-tomcat-multi-connectors`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-tomcat-multi-connectors) sample project for an example. + +## 75.8 Configure HTTP/2 + +You can enable HTTP/2 support in your Spring Boot application with the `server.http2.enabled` configuration property. This support depends on the chosen web server and the application environment, since that protocol is not supported out-of-the-box by JDK8. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Spring Boot does not support `h2c`, the cleartext version of the HTTP/2 protocol.

With that version, HTTP/2 is only supported if the `libtcnative` library and its dependencies are installed on the host operating system. + +The library folder must be made available, if not already, to the JVM library path. You can do so with a JVM argument such as`-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/opt/tomcat-native/lib`. More on this in the [official Tomcat documentation](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/apr.html). + +Starting Tomcat 8.5.x without that native support logs the following error: + +``` +ERROR 8787 --- [ main] o.a.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol : The upgrade handler [org.apache.coyote.http2.Http2Protocol] for [h2] only supports upgrade via ALPN but has been configured for the ["https-jsse-nio-8443"] connector that does not support ALPN. + +``` + +This error is not fatal, and the application still starts with HTTP/1.1 SSL support. + +Running your application with Tomcat 9.0.x and JDK9 does not require any native library to be installed. To use Tomcat 9, you can override the `tomcat.version` build property with the version of your choice. + +## 75.9 Configure Access Logging + +Access logs can be configured for Tomcat, Undertow, and Jetty through their respective namespaces. + +For instance, the following settings log access on Tomcat with a [custom pattern](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/valve.html#Access_Logging). + +``` +server.tomcat.basedir=my-tomcat +server.tomcat.accesslog.enabled=true +server.tomcat.accesslog.pattern=%t %a "%r" %s (%D ms) + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The default location for logs is a `logs` directory relative to the Tomcat base directory.

In the preceding example, the logs are available in `my-tomcat/logs` relative to the working directory of the application. | + +Access logging for Undertow can be configured in a similar fashion, as shown in the following example: + +``` +server.undertow.accesslog.enabled=true +server.undertow.accesslog.pattern=%t %a "%r" %s (%D ms) + +``` + +Logs are stored in a `logs` directory relative to the working directory of the application. You can customize this location by setting the`server.undertow.accesslog.directory` property. + +Finally, access logging for Jetty can also be configured as follows: + +``` +server.jetty.accesslog.enabled=true +server.jetty.accesslog.filename=/var/log/jetty-access.log + +``` + +By default, logs are redirected to `System.err`. For more details, see [the Jetty documentation](https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/9.4.x/configuring-jetty-request-logs.html). + +## 75.10 Running Behind a Front-end Proxy Server + +Your application might need to send `302` redirects or render content with absolute links back to itself. When running behind a proxy, the caller wants a link to the proxy and not to the physical address of the machine hosting your app. Typically, such situations are handled through a contract with the proxy, which adds headers to tell the back end how to construct links to itself. + +If the proxy adds conventional `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Forwarded-Proto` headers (most proxy servers do so), the absolute links should be rendered correctly, provided `server.use-forward-headers` is set to `true` in your `application.properties`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If your application runs in Cloud Foundry or Heroku, the `server.use-forward-headers` property defaults to `true`. In all other instances, it defaults to `false`. | + +### 75.10.1 Customize Tomcat’s Proxy Configuration + +If you use Tomcat, you can additionally configure the names of the headers used to carry “forwarded” information, as shown in the following example: + +``` +server.tomcat.remote-ip-header=x-your-remote-ip-header +server.tomcat.protocol-header=x-your-protocol-header + +``` + +Tomcat is also configured with a default regular expression that matches internal proxies that are to be trusted. By default, IP addresses in `10/8`, `192.168/16`,`169.254/16` and `127/8` are trusted. You can customize the valve’s configuration by adding an entry to `application.properties`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +server.tomcat.internal-proxies=192\\.168\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The double backslashes are required only when you use a properties file for configuration.

However, you should also look at `WebServerFactoryCustomizer` and various Tomcat-specific `*Customizers` that you can add. The Tomcat APIs are quite rich. Consequently, once you have access to the `TomcatServletWebServerFactory`, you can modify it in a number of ways. Alternatively, if you need more control and customization, you can add your own `TomcatServletWebServerFactory`. + +## 75.12 Enable Multiple Connectors with Tomcat + +You can add an `org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector` to the `TomcatServletWebServerFactory`, which can allow multiple connectors, including HTTP and HTTPS connectors, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean +public ServletWebServerFactory servletContainer() { + TomcatServletWebServerFactory tomcat = new TomcatServletWebServerFactory(); + tomcat.addAdditionalTomcatConnectors(createSslConnector()); + return tomcat; +} + +private Connector createSslConnector() { + Connector connector = new Connector("org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"); + Http11NioProtocol protocol = (Http11NioProtocol) connector.getProtocolHandler(); + try { + File keystore = new ClassPathResource("keystore").getFile(); + File truststore = new ClassPathResource("keystore").getFile(); + connector.setScheme("https"); + connector.setSecure(true); + connector.setPort(8443); + protocol.setSSLEnabled(true); + protocol.setKeystoreFile(keystore.getAbsolutePath()); + protocol.setKeystorePass("changeit"); + protocol.setTruststoreFile(truststore.getAbsolutePath()); + protocol.setTruststorePass("changeit"); + protocol.setKeyAlias("apitester"); + return connector; + } + catch (IOException ex) { + throw new IllegalStateException("can't access keystore: [" + "keystore" + + "] or truststore: [" + "keystore" + "]", ex); + } +} + +``` + +## 75.13 Use Tomcat’s LegacyCookieProcessor + +By default, the embedded Tomcat used by Spring Boot does not support "Version 0" of the Cookie format, so you may see the following error: + +``` +java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An invalid character [32] was present in the Cookie value + +``` + +If at all possible, you should consider updating your code to only store values compliant with later Cookie specifications. If, however, you cannot change the way that cookies are written, you can instead configure Tomcat to use a `LegacyCookieProcessor`. To switch to the `LegacyCookieProcessor`, use an`WebServerFactoryCustomizer` bean that adds a `TomcatContextCustomizer`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean +public WebServerFactoryCustomizer cookieProcessorCustomizer() { + return (factory) -> factory.addContextCustomizers( + (context) -> context.setCookieProcessor(new LegacyCookieProcessor())); +} + +``` + +## 75.14 Configure Undertow + +Generally you can follow the advice from “[Section 74.8, “Discover Built-in Options for External Properties”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-discover-build-in-options-for-external-properties)” about `@ConfigurationProperties`(`ServerProperties` and `ServerProperties.Undertow` are the main ones here). However, you should also look at `WebServerFactoryCustomizer`. Once you have access to the `UndertowServletWebServerFactory`, you can use an `UndertowBuilderCustomizer` to modify Undertow’s configuration to meet your needs. Alternatively, if you need more control and customization, you can add your own `UndertowServletWebServerFactory`. + +## 75.15 Enable Multiple Listeners with Undertow + +Add an `UndertowBuilderCustomizer` to the `UndertowServletWebServerFactory` and add a listener to the `Builder`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean +public UndertowServletWebServerFactory servletWebServerFactory() { + UndertowServletWebServerFactory factory = new UndertowServletWebServerFactory(); + factory.addBuilderCustomizers(new UndertowBuilderCustomizer() { + + @Override + public void customize(Builder builder) { + builder.addHttpListener(8080, "0.0.0.0"); + } + + }); + return factory; +} + +``` + +## 75.16 Create WebSocket Endpoints Using @ServerEndpoint + +If you want to use `@ServerEndpoint` in a Spring Boot application that used an embedded container, you must declare a single `ServerEndpointExporter``@Bean`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean +public ServerEndpointExporter serverEndpointExporter() { + return new ServerEndpointExporter(); +} + +``` + +The bean shown in the preceding example registers any `@ServerEndpoint` annotated beans with the underlying WebSocket container. When deployed to a standalone servlet container, this role is performed by a servlet container initializer, and the `ServerEndpointExporter` bean is not required. + +## 75.17 Enable HTTP Response Compression + +HTTP response compression is supported by Jetty, Tomcat, and Undertow. It can be enabled in `application.properties`, as follows: + +``` +server.compression.enabled=true + +``` + +By default, responses must be at least 2048 bytes in length for compression to be performed. You can configure this behavior by setting the`server.compression.min-response-size` property. + +By default, responses are compressed only if their content type is one of the following: + +- `text/html` +- `text/xml` +- `text/plain` +- `text/css` + +You can configure this behavior by setting the `server.compression.mime-types` property. + +## 76. Spring MVC + +Spring Boot has a number of starters that include Spring MVC. Note that some starters include a dependency on Spring MVC rather than include it directly. This section answers common questions about Spring MVC and Spring Boot. + +## 76.1 Write a JSON REST Service + +Any Spring `@RestController` in a Spring Boot application should render JSON response by default as long as Jackson2 is on the classpath, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@RestController +public class MyController { + + @RequestMapping("/thing") + public MyThing thing() { + return new MyThing(); + } + +} + +``` + +As long as `MyThing` can be serialized by Jackson2 (true for a normal POJO or Groovy object), then `localhost:8080/thing` serves a JSON representation of it by default. Note that, in a browser, you might sometimes see XML responses, because browsers tend to send accept headers that prefer XML. + +## 76.2 Write an XML REST Service + +If you have the Jackson XML extension (`jackson-dataformat-xml`) on the classpath, you can use it to render XML responses. The previous example that we used for JSON would work. To use the Jackson XML renderer, add the following dependency to your project: + +``` + + com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat + jackson-dataformat-xml + + +``` + +You may also want to add a dependency on Woodstox. It is faster than the default StAX implementation provided by the JDK and also adds pretty-print support and improved namespace handling. The following listing shows how to include a dependency on [Woodstox](https://github.com/FasterXML/woodstox): + +``` + + org.codehaus.woodstox + woodstox-core-asl + + +``` + +If Jackson’s XML extension is not available, JAXB (provided by default in the JDK) is used, with the additional requirement of having `MyThing` annotated as`@XmlRootElement`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@XmlRootElement +public class MyThing { + private String name; + // .. getters and setters +} + +``` + +To get the server to render XML instead of JSON, you might have to send an `Accept: text/xml` header (or use a browser). + +## 76.3 Customize the Jackson ObjectMapper + +Spring MVC (client and server side) uses `HttpMessageConverters` to negotiate content conversion in an HTTP exchange. If Jackson is on the classpath, you already get the default converter(s) provided by `Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder`, an instance of which is auto-configured for you. + +The `ObjectMapper` (or `XmlMapper` for Jackson XML converter) instance (created by default) has the following customized properties: + +- `MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION` is disabled +- `DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES` is disabled +- `SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS` is disabled + +Spring Boot also has some features to make it easier to customize this behavior. + +You can configure the `ObjectMapper` and `XmlMapper` instances by using the environment. Jackson provides an extensive suite of simple on/off features that can be used to configure various aspects of its processing. These features are described in six enums (in Jackson) that map onto properties in the environment: + +| Jackson enum | Environment property | +| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationFeature` | `spring.jackson.deserialization.=true|false` | +| `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator.Feature` | `spring.jackson.generator.=true|false` | +| `com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.MapperFeature` | `spring.jackson.mapper.=true|false` | +| `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser.Feature` | `spring.jackson.parser.=true|false` | +| `com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature` | `spring.jackson.serialization.=true|false` | +| `com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonInclude.Include` | `spring.jackson.default-property-inclusion=always|non_null|non_absent|non_default|non_empty` | + +For example, to enable pretty print, set `spring.jackson.serialization.indent_output=true`. Note that, thanks to the use of [relaxed binding](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-relaxed-binding), the case of `indent_output` does not have to match the case of the corresponding enum constant, which is `INDENT_OUTPUT`. + +This environment-based configuration is applied to the auto-configured `Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder` bean and applies to any mappers created by using the builder, including the auto-configured `ObjectMapper` bean. + +The context’s `Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder` can be customized by one or more `Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer` beans. Such customizer beans can be ordered (Boot’s own customizer has an order of 0), letting additional customization be applied both before and after Boot’s customization. + +Any beans of type `com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module` are automatically registered with the auto-configured `Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder` and are applied to any `ObjectMapper` instances that it creates. This provides a global mechanism for contributing custom modules when you add new features to your application. + +If you want to replace the default `ObjectMapper` completely, either define a `@Bean` of that type and mark it as `@Primary` or, if you prefer the builder-based approach, define a `Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder` `@Bean`. Note that, in either case, doing so disables all auto-configuration of the `ObjectMapper`. + +If you provide any `@Beans` of type `MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter`, they replace the default value in the MVC configuration. Also, a convenience bean of type `HttpMessageConverters` is provided (and is always available if you use the default MVC configuration). It has some useful methods to access the default and user-enhanced message converters. + +See the “[Section 76.4, “Customize the @ResponseBody Rendering”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-customize-the-responsebody-rendering)” section and the [`WebMvcAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration.java) source code for more details. + +## 76.4 Customize the @ResponseBody Rendering + +Spring uses `HttpMessageConverters` to render `@ResponseBody` (or responses from `@RestController`). You can contribute additional converters by adding beans of the appropriate type in a Spring Boot context. If a bean you add is of a type that would have been included by default anyway (such as `MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter` for JSON conversions), it replaces the default value. A convenience bean of type `HttpMessageConverters` is provided and is always available if you use the default MVC configuration. It has some useful methods to access the default and user-enhanced message converters (For example, it can be useful if you want to manually inject them into a custom `RestTemplate`). + +As in normal MVC usage, any `WebMvcConfigurer` beans that you provide can also contribute converters by overriding the `configureMessageConverters`method. However, unlike with normal MVC, you can supply only additional converters that you need (because Spring Boot uses the same mechanism to contribute its defaults). Finally, if you opt out of the Spring Boot default MVC configuration by providing your own `@EnableWebMvc` configuration, you can take control completely and do everything manually by using `getMessageConverters` from `WebMvcConfigurationSupport`. + +See the [`WebMvcAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration.java) source code for more details. + +## 76.5 Handling Multipart File Uploads + +Spring Boot embraces the Servlet 3 `javax.servlet.http.Part` API to support uploading files. By default, Spring Boot configures Spring MVC with a maximum size of 1MB per file and a maximum of 10MB of file data in a single request. You may override these values, the location to which intermediate data is stored (for example, to the `/tmp` directory), and the threshold past which data is flushed to disk by using the properties exposed in the `MultipartProperties` class. For example, if you want to specify that files be unlimited, set the `spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size` property to `-1`. + +The multipart support is helpful when you want to receive multipart encoded file data as a `@RequestParam`-annotated parameter of type `MultipartFile` in a Spring MVC controller handler method. + +See the [`MultipartAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/MultipartAutoConfiguration.java) source for more details. + +## 76.6 Switch Off the Spring MVC DispatcherServlet + +Spring Boot wants to serve all content from the root of your application (`/`) down. If you would rather map your own servlet to that URL, you can do it. However, you may lose some of the other Boot MVC features. To add your own servlet and map it to the root resource, declare a `@Bean` of type `Servlet` and give it the special bean name, `dispatcherServlet`. (You can also create a bean of a different type with that name if you want to switch it off and not replace it.) + +## 76.7 Switch off the Default MVC Configuration + +The easiest way to take complete control over MVC configuration is to provide your own `@Configuration` with the `@EnableWebMvc` annotation. Doing so leaves all MVC configuration in your hands. + +## 76.8 Customize ViewResolvers + +A `ViewResolver` is a core component of Spring MVC, translating view names in `@Controller` to actual `View` implementations. Note that `ViewResolvers` are mainly used in UI applications, rather than REST-style services (a `View` is not used to render a `@ResponseBody`). There are many implementations of `ViewResolver` to choose from, and Spring on its own is not opinionated about which ones you should use. Spring Boot, on the other hand, installs one or two for you, depending on what it finds on the classpath and in the application context. The `DispatcherServlet` uses all the resolvers it finds in the application context, trying each one in turn until it gets a result, so, if you add your own, you have to be aware of the order and in which position your resolver is added. + +`WebMvcAutoConfiguration` adds the following `ViewResolvers` to your context: + +- An `InternalResourceViewResolver` named ‘defaultViewResolver’. This one locates physical resources that can be rendered by using the `DefaultServlet`(including static resources and JSP pages, if you use those). It applies a prefix and a suffix to the view name and then looks for a physical resource with that path in the servlet context (the defaults are both empty but are accessible for external configuration through `spring.mvc.view.prefix` and `spring.mvc.view.suffix`). You can override it by providing a bean of the same type. +- A `BeanNameViewResolver` named ‘beanNameViewResolver’. This is a useful member of the view resolver chain and picks up any beans with the same name as the `View` being resolved. It should not be necessary to override or replace it. +- A `ContentNegotiatingViewResolver` named ‘viewResolver’ is added only if there **are** actually beans of type `View` present. This is a ‘master’ resolver, delegating to all the others and attempting to find a match to the ‘Accept’ HTTP header sent by the client. There is a useful [blog about`ContentNegotiatingViewResolver`](https://spring.io/blog/2013/06/03/content-negotiation-using-views) that you might like to study to learn more, and you might also look at the source code for detail. You can switch off the auto-configured `ContentNegotiatingViewResolver` by defining a bean named ‘viewResolver’. +- If you use Thymeleaf, you also have a `ThymeleafViewResolver` named ‘thymeleafViewResolver’. It looks for resources by surrounding the view name with a prefix and suffix. The prefix is `spring.thymeleaf.prefix`, and the suffix is `spring.thymeleaf.suffix`. The values of the prefix and suffix default to ‘classpath:/templates/’ and ‘.html’, respectively. You can override `ThymeleafViewResolver` by providing a bean of the same name. +- If you use FreeMarker, you also have a `FreeMarkerViewResolver` named ‘freeMarkerViewResolver’. It looks for resources in a loader path (which is externalized to `spring.freemarker.templateLoaderPath` and has a default value of ‘classpath:/templates/’) by surrounding the view name with a prefix and a suffix. The prefix is externalized to `spring.freemarker.prefix`, and the suffix is externalized to `spring.freemarker.suffix`. The default values of the prefix and suffix are empty and ‘.ftl’, respectively. You can override `FreeMarkerViewResolver` by providing a bean of the same name. +- If you use Groovy templates (actually, if `groovy-templates` is on your classpath), you also have a `GroovyMarkupViewResolver` named ‘groovyMarkupViewResolver’. It looks for resources in a loader path by surrounding the view name with a prefix and suffix (externalized to `spring.groovy.template.prefix` and `spring.groovy.template.suffix`). The prefix and suffix have default values of ‘classpath:/templates/’ and ‘.tpl’, respectively. You can override `GroovyMarkupViewResolver` by providing a bean of the same name. + +For more detail, see the following sections: + +- [`WebMvcAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/WebMvcAutoConfiguration.java) +- [`ThymeleafAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/thymeleaf/ThymeleafAutoConfiguration.java) +- [`FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/freemarker/FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration.java) +- [`GroovyTemplateAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/groovy/template/GroovyTemplateAutoConfiguration.java) + +## 77. HTTP Clients + +Spring Boot offers a number of starters that work with HTTP clients. This section answers questions related to using them. + +## 77.1 Configure RestTemplate to Use a Proxy + +As described in [Section 33.1, “RestTemplate Customization”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-resttemplate-customization), you can use a `RestTemplateCustomizer` with `RestTemplateBuilder` to build a customized`RestTemplate`. This is the recommended approach for creating a `RestTemplate` configured to use a proxy. + +The exact details of the proxy configuration depend on the underlying client request factory that is being used. The following example configures`HttpComponentsClientRequestFactory` with an `HttpClient` that uses a proxy for all hosts except `192.168.0.5`: + +``` +static class ProxyCustomizer implements RestTemplateCustomizer { + + @Override + public void customize(RestTemplate restTemplate) { + HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("proxy.example.com"); + HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create() + .setRoutePlanner(new DefaultProxyRoutePlanner(proxy) { + + @Override + public HttpHost determineProxy(HttpHost target, + HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) + throws HttpException { + if (target.getHostName().equals("192.168.0.5")) { + return null; + } + return super.determineProxy(target, request, context); + } + + }).build(); + restTemplate.setRequestFactory( + new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient)); + } + +} + +``` + +## 78. Logging + +Spring Boot has no mandatory logging dependency, except for the Commons Logging API, which is typically provided by Spring Framework’s `spring-jcl` module. To use [Logback](http://logback.qos.ch/), you need to include it and `spring-jcl` on the classpath. The simplest way to do that is through the starters, which all depend on`spring-boot-starter-logging`. For a web application, you need only `spring-boot-starter-web`, since it depends transitively on the logging starter. If you use Maven, the following dependency adds logging for you: + +``` + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-web + + +``` + +Spring Boot has a `LoggingSystem` abstraction that attempts to configure logging based on the content of the classpath. If Logback is available, it is the first choice. + +If the only change you need to make to logging is to set the levels of various loggers, you can do so in `application.properties` by using the "logging.level" prefix, as shown in the following example: + +``` +logging.level.org.springframework.web=DEBUG +logging.level.org.hibernate=ERROR + +``` + +You can also set the location of a file to which to write the log (in addition to the console) by using "logging.file". + +To configure the more fine-grained settings of a logging system, you need to use the native configuration format supported by the `LoggingSystem` in question. By default, Spring Boot picks up the native configuration from its default location for the system (such as `classpath:logback.xml` for Logback), but you can set the location of the config file by using the "logging.config" property. + +## 78.1 Configure Logback for Logging + +If you put a `logback.xml` in the root of your classpath, it is picked up from there (or from `logback-spring.xml`, to take advantage of the templating features provided by Boot). Spring Boot provides a default base configuration that you can include if you want to set levels, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + + + + + +``` + +If you look at `base.xml` in the spring-boot jar, you can see that it uses some useful System properties that the `LoggingSystem` takes care of creating for you: + +- `${PID}`: The current process ID. +- `${LOG_FILE}`: Whether `logging.file` was set in Boot’s external configuration. +- `${LOG_PATH}`: Whether `logging.path` (representing a directory for log files to live in) was set in Boot’s external configuration. +- `${LOG_EXCEPTION_CONVERSION_WORD}`: Whether `logging.exception-conversion-word` was set in Boot’s external configuration. + +Spring Boot also provides some nice ANSI color terminal output on a console (but not in a log file) by using a custom Logback converter. See the default `base.xml`configuration for details. + +If Groovy is on the classpath, you should be able to configure Logback with `logback.groovy` as well. If present, this setting is given preference. + +### 78.1.1 Configure Logback for File-only Output + +If you want to disable console logging and write output only to a file, you need a custom `logback-spring.xml` that imports `file-appender.xml` but not `console-appender.xml`, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + + + + + + + + + +``` + +You also need to add `logging.file` to your `application.properties`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +logging.file=myapplication.log + +``` + +## 78.2 Configure Log4j for Logging + +Spring Boot supports [Log4j 2](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x) for logging configuration if it is on the classpath. If you use the starters for assembling dependencies, you have to exclude Logback and then include log4j 2 instead. If you do not use the starters, you need to provide (at least) `spring-jcl` in addition to Log4j 2. + +The simplest path is probably through the starters, even though it requires some jiggling with excludes. The following example shows how to set up the starters in Maven: + +``` + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-web + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-logging + + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-log4j2 + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The Log4j starters gather together the dependencies for common logging requirements (such as having Tomcat use `java.util.logging` but configuring the output using Log4j 2). See the [Actuator Log4j 2](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-actuator-log4j2) samples for more detail and to see it in action. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| To ensure that debug logging performed using `java.util.logging` is routed into Log4j 2, configure its [JDK logging adapter](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/log4j-jul/index.html) by setting the `java.util.logging.manager` system property to `org.apache.logging.log4j.jul.LogManager`. | + +### 78.2.1 Use YAML or JSON to Configure Log4j 2 + +In addition to its default XML configuration format, Log4j 2 also supports YAML and JSON configuration files. To configure Log4j 2 to use an alternative configuration file format, add the appropriate dependencies to the classpath and name your configuration files to match your chosen file format, as shown in the following example: + +| Format | Dependencies | File names | +| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------- | +| YAML | `com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind``com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-yaml` | `log4j2.yaml``log4j2.yml` | +| JSON | `com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind` | `log4j2.json``log4j2.jsn` | + +## 79. Data Access + +Spring Boot includes a number of starters for working with data sources. This section answers questions related to doing so. + +## 79.1 Configure a Custom DataSource + +To configure your own `DataSource`, define a `@Bean` of that type in your configuration. Spring Boot reuses your `DataSource` anywhere one is required, including database initialization. If you need to externalize some settings, you can bind your `DataSource` to the environment (see “[Section 24.7.1, “Third-party Configuration”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-3rd-party-configuration)”). + +The following example shows how to define a data source in a bean: + +``` +@Bean +@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="app.datasource") +public DataSource dataSource() { + return new FancyDataSource(); +} + +``` + +The following example shows how to define a data source by setting properties: + +``` +app.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:mydb +app.datasource.username=sa +app.datasource.pool-size=30 + +``` + +Assuming that your `FancyDataSource` has regular JavaBean properties for the URL, the username, and the pool size, these settings are bound automatically before the `DataSource` is made available to other components. The regular [database initialization](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-initialize-a-database-using-spring-jdbc) also happens (so the relevant sub-set of `spring.datasource.*` can still be used with your custom configuration). + +You can apply the same principle if you configure a custom JNDI `DataSource`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean(destroyMethod="") +@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="app.datasource") +public DataSource dataSource() throws Exception { + JndiDataSourceLookup dataSourceLookup = new JndiDataSourceLookup(); + return dataSourceLookup.getDataSource("java:comp/env/jdbc/YourDS"); +} + +``` + +Spring Boot also provides a utility builder class, called `DataSourceBuilder`, that can be used to create one of the standard data sources (if it is on the classpath). The builder can detect the one to use based on what’s available on the classpath. It also auto-detects the driver based on the JDBC URL. + +The following example shows how to create a data source by using a `DataSourceBuilder`: + +``` +@Bean +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") +public DataSource dataSource() { + return DataSourceBuilder.create().build(); +} + +``` + +To run an app with that `DataSource`, all you need is the connection information. Pool-specific settings can also be provided. Check the implementation that is going to be used at runtime for more details. + +The following example shows how to define a JDBC data source by setting properties: + +``` +app.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test +app.datasource.username=dbuser +app.datasource.password=dbpass +app.datasource.pool-size=30 + +``` + +However, there is a catch. Because the actual type of the connection pool is not exposed, no keys are generated in the metadata for your custom `DataSource` and no completion is available in your IDE (because the `DataSource` interface exposes no properties). Also, if you happen to have Hikari on the classpath, this basic setup does not work, because Hikari has no `url` property (but does have a `jdbcUrl` property). In that case, you must rewrite your configuration as follows: + +``` +app.datasource.jdbc-url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test +app.datasource.username=dbuser +app.datasource.password=dbpass +app.datasource.maximum-pool-size=30 + +``` + +You can fix that by forcing the connection pool to use and return a dedicated implementation rather than `DataSource`. You cannot change the implementation at runtime, but the list of options will be explicit. + +The following example shows how create a `HikariDataSource` with `DataSourceBuilder`: + +``` +@Bean +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") +public HikariDataSource dataSource() { + return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(HikariDataSource.class).build(); +} + +``` + +You can even go further by leveraging what `DataSourceProperties` does for you — that is, by providing a default embedded database with a sensible username and password if no URL is provided. You can easily initialize a `DataSourceBuilder` from the state of any `DataSourceProperties` object, so you could also inject the DataSource that Spring Boot creates automatically. However, that would split your configuration into two namespaces: `url`, `username`, `password`, `type`, and `driver` on `spring.datasource` and the rest on your custom namespace (`app.datasource`). To avoid that, you can redefine a custom`DataSourceProperties` on your custom namespace, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean +@Primary +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") +public DataSourceProperties dataSourceProperties() { + return new DataSourceProperties(); +} + +@Bean +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") +public HikariDataSource dataSource(DataSourceProperties properties) { + return properties.initializeDataSourceBuilder().type(HikariDataSource.class) + .build(); +} + +``` + +This setup puts you *in sync* with what Spring Boot does for you by default, except that a dedicated connection pool is chosen (in code) and its settings are exposed in the same namespace. Because `DataSourceProperties` is taking care of the `url`/`jdbcUrl` translation for you, you can configure it as follows: + +``` +app.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test +app.datasource.username=dbuser +app.datasource.password=dbpass +app.datasource.maximum-pool-size=30 + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Because your custom configuration chooses to go with Hikari, `app.datasource.type` has no effect. In practice, the builder is initialized with whatever value you might set there and then overridden by the call to `.type()`. | + +See “[Section 29.1, “Configure a DataSource”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-configure-datasource)” in the “Spring Boot features” section and the [`DataSourceAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceAutoConfiguration.java) class for more details. + +## 79.2 Configure Two DataSources + +If you need to configure multiple data sources, you can apply the same tricks that are described in the previous section. You must, however, mark one of the `DataSource` instances as `@Primary`, because various auto-configurations down the road expect to be able to get one by type. + +If you create your own `DataSource`, the auto-configuration backs off. In the following example, we provide the *exact* same feature set as the auto-configuration provides on the primary data source: + +``` +@Bean +@Primary +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") +public DataSourceProperties firstDataSourceProperties() { + return new DataSourceProperties(); +} + +@Bean +@Primary +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") +public DataSource firstDataSource() { + return firstDataSourceProperties().initializeDataSourceBuilder().build(); +} + +@Bean +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.second") +public BasicDataSource secondDataSource() { + return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(BasicDataSource.class).build(); +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `firstDataSourceProperties` has to be flagged as `@Primary` so that the database initializer feature uses your copy (if you use the initializer). | + +Both data sources are also bound for advanced customizations. For instance, you could configure them as follows: + +``` +app.datasource.first.type=com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource +app.datasource.first.maximum-pool-size=30 + +app.datasource.second.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test +app.datasource.second.username=dbuser +app.datasource.second.password=dbpass +app.datasource.second.max-total=30 + +``` + +You can apply the same concept to the secondary `DataSource` as well, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Bean +@Primary +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") +public DataSourceProperties firstDataSourceProperties() { + return new DataSourceProperties(); +} + +@Bean +@Primary +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") +public DataSource firstDataSource() { + return firstDataSourceProperties().initializeDataSourceBuilder().build(); +} + +@Bean +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.second") +public DataSourceProperties secondDataSourceProperties() { + return new DataSourceProperties(); +} + +@Bean +@ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.second") +public DataSource secondDataSource() { + return secondDataSourceProperties().initializeDataSourceBuilder().build(); +} + +``` + +The preceding example configures two data sources on custom namespaces with the same logic as Spring Boot would use in auto-configuration. + +## 79.3 Use Spring Data Repositories + +Spring Data can create implementations of `@Repository` interfaces of various flavors. Spring Boot handles all of that for you, as long as those `@Repositories` are included in the same package (or a sub-package) of your `@EnableAutoConfiguration` class. + +For many applications, all you need is to put the right Spring Data dependencies on your classpath (there is a `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa` for JPA and a`spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb` for Mongodb) and create some repository interfaces to handle your `@Entity` objects. Examples are in the [JPA sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-data-jpa) and the [Mongodb sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-data-mongodb). + +Spring Boot tries to guess the location of your `@Repository` definitions, based on the `@EnableAutoConfiguration` it finds. To get more control, use the `@EnableJpaRepositories` annotation (from Spring Data JPA). + +For more about Spring Data, see the [Spring Data project page](https://projects.spring.io/spring-data/). + +## 79.4 Separate @Entity Definitions from Spring Configuration + +Spring Boot tries to guess the location of your `@Entity` definitions, based on the `@EnableAutoConfiguration` it finds. To get more control, you can use the `@EntityScan` annotation, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +@EnableAutoConfiguration +@EntityScan(basePackageClasses=City.class) +public class Application { + + //... + +} + +``` + +## 79.5 Configure JPA Properties + +Spring Data JPA already provides some vendor-independent configuration options (such as those for SQL logging), and Spring Boot exposes those options and a few more for Hibernate as external configuration properties. Some of them are automatically detected according to the context so you should not have to set them. + +The `spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` is a special case, because, depending on runtime conditions, it has different defaults. If an embedded database is used and no schema manager (such as Liquibase or Flyway) is handling the `DataSource`, it defaults to `create-drop`. In all other cases, it defaults to `none`. + +The dialect to use is also automatically detected based on the current `DataSource`, but you can set `spring.jpa.database` yourself if you want to be explicit and bypass that check on startup. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Specifying a `database` leads to the configuration of a well-defined Hibernate dialect. Several databases have more than one `Dialect`, and this may not suit your needs. In that case, you can either set `spring.jpa.database` to `default` to let Hibernate figure things out or set the dialect by setting the `spring.jpa.database-platform` property. | + +The most common options to set are shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy=com.example.MyPhysicalNamingStrategy +spring.jpa.show-sql=true + +``` + +In addition, all properties in `spring.jpa.properties.*` are passed through as normal JPA properties (with the prefix stripped) when the local `EntityManagerFactory` is created. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you need to apply advanced customization to Hibernate properties, consider registering a `HibernatePropertiesCustomizer` bean that will be invoked prior to creating the `EntityManagerFactory`. This takes precedence to anything that is applied by the auto-configuration. | + +## 79.6 Configure Hibernate Naming Strategy + +Hibernate uses [two different naming strategies](https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.2/userguide/html_single/Hibernate_User_Guide.html#naming) to map names from the object model to the corresponding database names. The fully qualified class name of the physical and the implicit strategy implementations can be configured by setting the `spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy` and`spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.implicit-strategy` properties, respectively. Alternatively, if `ImplicitNamingStrategy` or `PhysicalNamingStrategy`beans are available in the application context, Hibernate will be automatically configured to use them. + +By default, Spring Boot configures the physical naming strategy with `SpringPhysicalNamingStrategy`. This implementation provides the same table structure as Hibernate 4: all dots are replaced by underscores and camel casing is replaced by underscores as well. By default, all table names are generated in lower case, but it is possible to override that flag if your schema requires it. + +For example, a `TelephoneNumber` entity is mapped to the `telephone_number` table. + +If you prefer to use Hibernate 5’s default instead, set the following property: + +``` +spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy=org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl + +``` + +Alternatively, you can configure the following bean: + +``` +@Bean +public PhysicalNamingStrategy physicalNamingStrategy() { + return new PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl(); +} + +``` + +See [`HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.java) and [`JpaBaseConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/JpaBaseConfiguration.java) for more details. + +## 79.7 Use a Custom EntityManagerFactory + +To take full control of the configuration of the `EntityManagerFactory`, you need to add a `@Bean` named ‘entityManagerFactory’. Spring Boot auto-configuration switches off its entity manager in the presence of a bean of that type. + +## 79.8 Use Two EntityManagers + +Even if the default `EntityManagerFactory` works fine, you need to define a new one. Otherwise, the presence of the second bean of that type switches off the default. To make it easy to do, you can use the convenient `EntityManagerBuilder` provided by Spring Boot. Alternatively, you can just the`LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean` directly from Spring ORM, as shown in the following example: + +``` +// add two data sources configured as above + +@Bean +public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean customerEntityManagerFactory( + EntityManagerFactoryBuilder builder) { + return builder + .dataSource(customerDataSource()) + .packages(Customer.class) + .persistenceUnit("customers") + .build(); +} + +@Bean +public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean orderEntityManagerFactory( + EntityManagerFactoryBuilder builder) { + return builder + .dataSource(orderDataSource()) + .packages(Order.class) + .persistenceUnit("orders") + .build(); +} + +``` + +The configuration above almost works on its own. To complete the picture, you need to configure `TransactionManagers` for the two `EntityManagers` as well. If you mark one of them as `@Primary`, it could be picked up by the default `JpaTransactionManager` in Spring Boot. The other would have to be explicitly injected into a new instance. Alternatively, you might be able to use a JTA transaction manager that spans both. + +If you use Spring Data, you need to configure `@EnableJpaRepositories` accordingly, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@Configuration +@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses = Customer.class, + entityManagerFactoryRef = "customerEntityManagerFactory") +public class CustomerConfiguration { + ... +} + +@Configuration +@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses = Order.class, + entityManagerFactoryRef = "orderEntityManagerFactory") +public class OrderConfiguration { + ... +} + +``` + +## 79.9 Use a Traditional `persistence.xml` File + +Spring does not require the use of XML to configure the JPA provider, and Spring Boot assumes you want to take advantage of that feature. If you prefer to use`persistence.xml`, you need to define your own `@Bean` of type `LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean` (with an ID of ‘entityManagerFactory’) and set the persistence unit name there. + +See [`JpaBaseConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/JpaBaseConfiguration.java) for the default settings. + +## 79.10 Use Spring Data JPA and Mongo Repositories + +Spring Data JPA and Spring Data Mongo can both automatically create `Repository` implementations for you. If they are both present on the classpath, you might have to do some extra configuration to tell Spring Boot which repositories to create. The most explicit way to do that is to use the standard Spring Data `@EnableJpaRepositories` and `@EnableMongoRepositories` annotations and provide the location of your `Repository` interfaces. + +There are also flags (`spring.data.*.repositories.enabled` and `spring.data.*.repositories.type`) that you can use to switch the auto-configured repositories on and off in external configuration. Doing so is useful, for instance, in case you want to switch off the Mongo repositories and still use the auto-configured`MongoTemplate`. + +The same obstacle and the same features exist for other auto-configured Spring Data repository types (Elasticsearch, Solr, and others). To work with them, change the names of the annotations and flags accordingly. + +## 79.11 Expose Spring Data Repositories as REST Endpoint + +Spring Data REST can expose the `Repository` implementations as REST endpoints for you, provided Spring MVC has been enabled for the application. + +Spring Boot exposes a set of useful properties (from the `spring.data.rest` namespace) that customize the [`RepositoryRestConfiguration`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/rest/core/config/RepositoryRestConfiguration.html). If you need to provide additional customization, you should use a [`RepositoryRestConfigurer`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/rest/webmvc/config/RepositoryRestConfigurer.html) bean. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you do not specify any order on your custom `RepositoryRestConfigurer`, it runs after the one Spring Boot uses internally. If you need to specify an order, make sure it is higher than 0. | + +## 79.12 Configure a Component that is Used by JPA + +If you want to configure a component that JPA uses, then you need to ensure that the component is initialized before JPA. When the component is auto-configured, Spring Boot takes care of this for you. For example, when Flyway is auto-configured, Hibernate is configured to depend upon Flyway so that Flyway has a chance to initialize the database before Hibernate tries to use it. + +If you are configuring a component yourself, you can use an `EntityManagerFactoryDependsOnPostProcessor` subclass as a convenient way of setting up the necessary dependencies. For example, if you use Hibernate Search with Elasticsearch as its index manager, any `EntityManagerFactory` beans must be configured to depend on the `elasticsearchClient` bean, as shown in the following example: + +``` +/** + * {@link EntityManagerFactoryDependsOnPostProcessor} that ensures that + * {@link EntityManagerFactory} beans depend on the {@code elasticsearchClient} bean. + */ +@Configuration +static class ElasticsearchJpaDependencyConfiguration + extends EntityManagerFactoryDependsOnPostProcessor { + + ElasticsearchJpaDependencyConfiguration() { + super("elasticsearchClient"); + } + +} + +``` + +## 79.13 Configure jOOQ with Two DataSources + +If you need to use jOOQ with multiple data sources, you should create your own `DSLContext` for each one. Refer to [JooqAutoConfiguration](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jooq/JooqAutoConfiguration.java) for more details. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| In particular, `JooqExceptionTranslator` and `SpringTransactionProvider` can be reused to provide similar features to what the auto-configuration does with a single `DataSource`. | + +## 80. Database Initialization + +An SQL database can be initialized in different ways depending on what your stack is. Of course, you can also do it manually, provided the database is a separate process. + +## 80.1 Initialize a Database Using JPA + +JPA has features for DDL generation, and these can be set up to run on startup against the database. This is controlled through two external properties: + +- `spring.jpa.generate-ddl` (boolean) switches the feature on and off and is vendor independent. +- `spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` (enum) is a Hibernate feature that controls the behavior in a more fine-grained way. This feature is described in more detail later in this guide. + +## 80.2 Initialize a Database Using Hibernate + +You can set `spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` explicitly and the standard Hibernate property values are `none`, `validate`, `update`, `create`, and `create-drop`. Spring Boot chooses a default value for you based on whether it thinks your database is embedded. It defaults to `create-drop` if no schema manager has been detected or `none` in all other cases. An embedded database is detected by looking at the `Connection` type. `hsqldb`, `h2`, and `derby` are embedded, and others are not. Be careful when switching from in-memory to a ‘real’ database that you do not make assumptions about the existence of the tables and data in the new platform. You either have to set `ddl-auto` explicitly or use one of the other mechanisms to initialize the database. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You can output the schema creation by enabling the `org.hibernate.SQL` logger. This is done for you automatically if you enable the [debug mode](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-logging-console-output). | + +In addition, a file named `import.sql` in the root of the classpath is executed on startup if Hibernate creates the schema from scratch (that is, if the `ddl-auto`property is set to `create` or `create-drop`). This can be useful for demos and for testing if you are careful but is probably not something you want to be on the classpath in production. It is a Hibernate feature (and has nothing to do with Spring). + +## 80.3 Initialize a Database + +Spring Boot can automatically create the schema (DDL scripts) of your `DataSource` and initialize it (DML scripts). It loads SQL from the standard root classpath locations: `schema.sql` and `data.sql`, respectively. In addition, Spring Boot processes the `schema-${platform}.sql` and `data-${platform}.sql` files (if present), where `platform` is the value of `spring.datasource.platform`. This allows you to switch to database-specific scripts if necessary. For example, you might choose to set it to the vendor name of the database (`hsqldb`, `h2`, `oracle`, `mysql`, `postgresql`, and so on). + +Spring Boot automatically creates the schema of an embedded `DataSource`. This behavior can be customized by using the `spring.datasource.initialization-mode` property (and it can also be `always` or `never`). + +By default, Spring Boot enables the fail-fast feature of the Spring JDBC initializer. This means that, if the scripts cause exceptions, the application fails to start. You can tune that behavior by setting `spring.datasource.continue-on-error`. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| In a JPA-based app, you can choose to let Hibernate create the schema or use `schema.sql`, but you cannot do both. Make sure to disable`spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` if you use `schema.sql`. | + +## 80.4 Initialize a Spring Batch Database + +If you use Spring Batch, it comes pre-packaged with SQL initialization scripts for most popular database platforms. Spring Boot can detect your database type and execute those scripts on startup. If you use an embedded database, this happens by default. You can also enable it for any database type, as shown in the following example: + +``` +spring.batch.initialize-schema=always + +``` + +You can also switch off the initialization explicitly by setting `spring.batch.initialize-schema=never`. + +## 80.5 Use a Higher-level Database Migration Tool + +Spring Boot supports two higher-level migration tools: [Flyway](https://flywaydb.org/) and [Liquibase](http://www.liquibase.org/). + +### 80.5.1 Execute Flyway Database Migrations on Startup + +To automatically run Flyway database migrations on startup, add the `org.flywaydb:flyway-core` to your classpath. + +The migrations are scripts in the form `V__.sql` (with `` an underscore-separated version, such as ‘1’ or ‘2_1’). By default, they are in a folder called `classpath:db/migration`, but you can modify that location by setting `spring.flyway.locations`. You can also add a special `{vendor}`placeholder to use vendor-specific scripts. Assume the following: + +``` +spring.flyway.locations=db/migration/{vendor} + +``` + +Rather than using `db/migration`, the preceding configuration sets the folder to use according to the type of the database (such as `db/migration/mysql` for MySQL). The list of supported databases is available in [`DatabaseDriver`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/jdbc/DatabaseDriver.java). + +See the Flyway class from flyway-core for details of available settings such as schemas and others. In addition, Spring Boot provides a small set of properties (in[`FlywayProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/flyway/FlywayProperties.java)) that can be used to disable the migrations or switch off the location checking. Spring Boot calls `Flyway.migrate()` to perform the database migration. If you would like more control, provide a `@Bean` that implements [`FlywayMigrationStrategy`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/flyway/FlywayMigrationStrategy.java). + +Flyway supports SQL and Java [callbacks](https://flywaydb.org/documentation/callbacks.html). To use SQL-based callbacks, place the callback scripts in the `classpath:db/migration` folder. To use Java-based callbacks, create one or more beans that implement `FlywayCallback` or, preferably, extend `BaseFlywayCallback`. Any such beans are automatically registered with `Flyway`. They can be ordered by using `@Order` or by implementing `Ordered`. + +By default, Flyway autowires the (`@Primary`) `DataSource` in your context and uses that for migrations. If you like to use a different `DataSource`, you can create one and mark its `@Bean` as `@FlywayDataSource`. If you do so and want two data sources, remember to create another one and mark it as `@Primary`. Alternatively, you can use Flyway’s native `DataSource` by setting `spring.flyway.[url,user,password]` in external properties. Setting either `spring.flyway.url` or `spring.flyway.user` is sufficient to cause Flyway to use its own `DataSource`. If any of the three properties has not be set, the value of its equivalent `spring.datasource` property will be used. + +There is a [Flyway sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-flyway) so that you can see how to set things up. + +You can also use Flyway to provide data for specific scenarios. For example, you can place test-specific migrations in `src/test/resources` and they are run only when your application starts for testing. Also, you can use profile-specific configuration to customize `spring.flyway.locations` so that certain migrations run only when a particular profile is active. For example, in `application-dev.properties`, you might specify the following setting: + +``` +spring.flyway.locations=classpath:/db/migration,classpath:/dev/db/migration + +``` + +With that setup, migrations in `dev/db/migration` run only when the `dev` profile is active. + +### 80.5.2 Execute Liquibase Database Migrations on Startup + +To automatically run Liquibase database migrations on startup, add the `org.liquibase:liquibase-core` to your classpath. + +By default, the master change log is read from `db/changelog/db.changelog-master.yaml`, but you can change the location by setting `spring.liquibase.change-log`. In addition to YAML, Liquibase also supports JSON, XML, and SQL change log formats. + +By default, Liquibase autowires the (`@Primary`) `DataSource` in your context and uses that for migrations. If you need to use a different `DataSource`, you can create one and mark its `@Bean` as `@LiquibaseDataSource`. If you do so and you want two data sources, remember to create another one and mark it as `@Primary`. Alternatively, you can use Liquibase’s native `DataSource` by setting `spring.liquibase.[url,user,password]` in external properties. Setting either `spring.liquibase.url` or `spring.liquibase.user` is sufficient to cause Liquibase to use its own `DataSource`. If any of the three properties has not be set, the value of its equivalent `spring.datasource` property will be used. + +See [`LiquibaseProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/liquibase/LiquibaseProperties.java) for details about available settings such as contexts, the default schema, and others. + +There is a [Liquibase sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-liquibase) so that you can see how to set things up. + +## 81. Messaging + +Spring Boot offers a number of starters that include messaging. This section answers questions that arise from using messaging with Spring Boot. + +## 81.1 Disable Transacted JMS Session + +If your JMS broker does not support transacted sessions, you have to disable the support of transactions altogether. If you create your own `JmsListenerContainerFactory`, there is nothing to do, since, by default it cannot be transacted. If you want to use the `DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer` to reuse Spring Boot’s default, you can disable transacted sessions, as follows: + +``` +@Bean +public DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory jmsListenerContainerFactory( + ConnectionFactory connectionFactory, + DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer) { + DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory listenerFactory = + new DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory(); + configurer.configure(listenerFactory, connectionFactory); + listenerFactory.setTransactionManager(null); + listenerFactory.setSessionTransacted(false); + return listenerFactory; +} + +``` + +The preceding example overrides the default factory, and it should be applied to any other factory that your application defines, if any. + +## 82. Batch Applications + +This section answers questions that arise from using Spring Batch with Spring Boot. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| By default, batch applications require a `DataSource` to store job details. If you want to deviate from that, you need to implement `BatchConfigurer`. See [The Javadoc of `@EnableBatchProcessing`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/apidocs/org/springframework/batch/core/configuration/annotation/EnableBatchProcessing.html) for more details. | + +For more about Spring Batch, see the [Spring Batch project page](https://projects.spring.io/spring-batch/). + +## 82.1 Execute Spring Batch Jobs on Startup + +Spring Batch auto-configuration is enabled by adding `@EnableBatchProcessing` (from Spring Batch) somewhere in your context. + +By default, it executes **all** `Jobs` in the application context on startup (see [JobLauncherCommandLineRunner](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/batch/JobLauncherCommandLineRunner.java) for details). You can narrow down to a specific job or jobs by specifying `spring.batch.job.names` (which takes a comma-separated list of job name patterns). + +If the application context includes a `JobRegistry`, the jobs in `spring.batch.job.names` are looked up in the registry instead of being autowired from the context. This is a common pattern with more complex systems, where multiple jobs are defined in child contexts and registered centrally. + +See [BatchAutoConfiguration](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/batch/BatchAutoConfiguration.java) and [@EnableBatchProcessing](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/blob/master/spring-batch-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/batch/core/configuration/annotation/EnableBatchProcessing.java) for more details. + +## 83. Actuator + +Spring Boot includes the Spring Boot Actuator. This section answers questions that often arise from its use. + +## 83.1 Change the HTTP Port or Address of the Actuator Endpoints + +In a standalone application, the Actuator HTTP port defaults to the same as the main HTTP port. To make the application listen on a different port, set the external property: `management.server.port`. To listen on a completely different network address (such as when you have an internal network for management and an external one for user applications), you can also set `management.server.address` to a valid IP address to which the server is able to bind. + +For more detail, see the [`ManagementServerProperties`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/actuate/autoconfigure/web/server/ManagementServerProperties.java) source code and “[Section 51.2, “Customizing the Management Server Port”](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready-customizing-management-server-port)” in the “Production-ready features” section. + +## 83.2 Customize the ‘whitelabel’ Error Page + +Spring Boot installs a ‘whitelabel’ error page that you see in a browser client if you encounter a server error (machine clients consuming JSON and other media types should see a sensible response with the right error code). + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Set `server.error.whitelabel.enabled=false` to switch the default error page off. Doing so restores the default of the servlet container that you are using. Note that Spring Boot still tries to resolve the error view, so you should probably add your own error page rather than disabling it completely. | + +Overriding the error page with your own depends on the templating technology that you use. For example, if you use Thymeleaf, you can add an `error.html` template. If you use FreeMarker, you can add an `error.ftl` template. In general, you need a `View` that resolves with a name of `error` or a `@Controller` that handles the `/error` path. Unless you replaced some of the default configuration, you should find a `BeanNameViewResolver` in your `ApplicationContext`, so a `@Bean`named `error` would be a simple way of doing that. See [`ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/web/servlet/error/ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration.java) for more options. + +See also the section on “[Error Handling](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-error-handling)” for details of how to register handlers in the servlet container. + +## 84. Security + +This section addresses questions about security when working with Spring Boot, including questions that arise from using Spring Security with Spring Boot. + +For more about Spring Security, see the [Spring Security project page](https://projects.spring.io/spring-security/). + +## 84.1 Switch off the Spring Boot Security Configuration + +If you define a `@Configuration` with a `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter` in your application, it switches off the default webapp security settings in Spring Boot. + +## 84.2 Change the AuthenticationManager and Add User Accounts + +If you provide a `@Bean` of type `AuthenticationManager`, `AuthenticationProvider`, or `UserDetailsService`, the default `@Bean` for `InMemoryUserDetailsManager` is not created, so you have the full feature set of Spring Security available (such as [various authentication options](https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#jc-authentication)). + +The easiest way to add user accounts is to provide your own `UserDetailsService` bean. + +## 84.3 Enable HTTPS When Running behind a Proxy Server + +Ensuring that all your main endpoints are only available over HTTPS is an important chore for any application. If you use Tomcat as a servlet container, then Spring Boot adds Tomcat’s own `RemoteIpValve` automatically if it detects some environment settings, and you should be able to rely on the `HttpServletRequest` to report whether it is secure or not (even downstream of a proxy server that handles the real SSL termination). The standard behavior is determined by the presence or absence of certain request headers (`x-forwarded-for` and `x-forwarded-proto`), whose names are conventional, so it should work with most front-end proxies. You can switch on the valve by adding some entries to `application.properties`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +server.tomcat.remote-ip-header=x-forwarded-for +server.tomcat.protocol-header=x-forwarded-proto + +``` + +(The presence of either of those properties switches on the valve. Alternatively, you can add the `RemoteIpValve` by adding a `TomcatServletWebServerFactory`bean.) + +To configure Spring Security to require a secure channel for all (or some) requests, consider adding your own `WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter` that adds the following `HttpSecurity` configuration: + +``` +@Configuration +public class SslWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { + + @Override + protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { + // Customize the application security + http.requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure(); + } + +} + +``` + +## 85. Hot Swapping + +Spring Boot supports hot swapping. This section answers questions about how it works. + +## 85.1 Reload Static Content + +There are several options for hot reloading. The recommended approach is to use [`spring-boot-devtools`](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools), as it provides additional development-time features, such as support for fast application restarts and LiveReload as well as sensible development-time configuration (such as template caching). Devtools works by monitoring the classpath for changes. This means that static resource changes must be "built" for the change to take affect. By default, this happens automatically in Eclipse when you save your changes. In IntelliJ IDEA, the Make Project command triggers the necessary build. Due to the [default restart exclusions](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-restart-exclude), changes to static resources do not trigger a restart of your application. They do, however, trigger a live reload. + +Alternatively, running in an IDE (especially with debugging on) is a good way to do development (all modern IDEs allow reloading of static resources and usually also allow hot-swapping of Java class changes). + +Finally, the [Maven and Gradle plugins](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#build-tool-plugins) can be configured (see the `addResources` property) to support running from the command line with reloading of static files directly from source. You can use that with an external css/js compiler process if you are writing that code with higher-level tools. + +## 85.2 Reload Templates without Restarting the Container + +Most of the templating technologies supported by Spring Boot include a configuration option to disable caching (described later in this document). If you use the`spring-boot-devtools` module, these properties are [automatically configured](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools-property-defaults) for you at development time. + +### 85.2.1 Thymeleaf Templates + +If you use Thymeleaf, set `spring.thymeleaf.cache` to `false`. See [`ThymeleafAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/thymeleaf/ThymeleafAutoConfiguration.java) for other Thymeleaf customization options. + +### 85.2.2 FreeMarker Templates + +If you use FreeMarker, set `spring.freemarker.cache` to `false`. See [`FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/freemarker/FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration.java) for other FreeMarker customization options. + +### 85.2.3 Groovy Templates + +If you use Groovy templates, set `spring.groovy.template.cache` to `false`. See [`GroovyTemplateAutoConfiguration`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-autoconfigure/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/groovy/template/GroovyTemplateAutoConfiguration.java) for other Groovy customization options. + +## 85.3 Fast Application Restarts + +The `spring-boot-devtools` module includes support for automatic application restarts. While not as fast as technologies such as [JRebel](http://zeroturnaround.com/software/jrebel/) it is usually significantly faster than a “cold start”. You should probably give it a try before investigating some of the more complex reload options discussed later in this document. + +For more details, see the [Chapter 20, *Developer Tools*](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools) section. + +## 85.4 Reload Java Classes without Restarting the Container + +Many modern IDEs (Eclipse, IDEA, and others) support hot swapping of bytecode. Consequently, if you make a change that does not affect class or method signatures, it should reload cleanly with no side effects. + +## 86. Build + +Spring Boot includes build plugins for Maven and Gradle. This section answers common questions about these plugins. + +## 86.1 Generate Build Information + +Both the Maven plugin and the Gradle plugin allow generating build information containing the coordinates, name, and version of the project. The plugins can also be configured to add additional properties through configuration. When such a file is present, Spring Boot auto-configures a `BuildProperties` bean. + +To generate build information with Maven, add an execution for the `build-info` goal, as shown in the following example: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + + + + build-info + + + + + + + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See the [Spring Boot Maven Plugin documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin) for more details. | + +The following example does the same with Gradle: + +``` +springBoot { + buildInfo() +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| See the [Spring Boot Gradle Plugin documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gradle-plugin/reference/html/#integrating-with-actuator-build-info) for more details. | + +## 86.2 Generate Git Information + +Both Maven and Gradle allow generating a `git.properties` file containing information about the state of your `git` source code repository when the project was built. + +For Maven users, the `spring-boot-starter-parent` POM includes a pre-configured plugin to generate a `git.properties` file. To use it, add the following declaration to your POM: + +``` + + + + pl.project13.maven + git-commit-id-plugin + + + + +``` + +Gradle users can achieve the same result by using the [`gradle-git-properties`](https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties) plugin, as shown in the following example: + +``` +plugins { + id "com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties" version "1.4.17" +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The commit time in `git.properties` is expected to match the following format: `yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ssZ`. This is the default format for both plugins listed above. Using this format lets the time be parsed into a `Date` and its format, when serialized to JSON, to be controlled by Jackson’s date serialization configuration settings. | + +## 86.3 Customize Dependency Versions + +If you use a Maven build that inherits directly or indirectly from `spring-boot-dependencies` (for instance, `spring-boot-starter-parent`) but you want to override a specific third-party dependency, you can add appropriate `` elements. Browse the [`spring-boot-dependencies`](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-dependencies/pom.xml) POM for a complete list of properties. For example, to pick a different `slf4j` version, you would add the following property: + +``` + + 1.7.5 + + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Doing so only works if your Maven project inherits (directly or indirectly) from `spring-boot-dependencies`. If you have added `spring-boot-dependencies` in your own `dependencyManagement` section with `import`, you have to redefine the artifact yourself instead of overriding the property. | + +| ![[Warning]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/warning.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Each Spring Boot release is designed and tested against this specific set of third-party dependencies. Overriding versions may cause compatibility issues. | + +## 86.4 Create an Executable JAR with Maven + +The `spring-boot-maven-plugin` can be used to create an executable “fat” JAR. If you use the `spring-boot-starter-parent` POM, you can declare the plugin and your jars are repackaged as follows: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + + + +``` + +If you do not use the parent POM, you can still use the plugin. However, you must additionally add an `` section, as follows: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT + + + + repackage + + + + + + + +``` + +See the [plugin documentation](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin/usage.html) for full usage details. + +## 86.5 Use a Spring Boot Application as a Dependency + +Like a war file, a Spring Boot application is not intended to be used as a dependency. If your application contains classes that you want to share with other projects, the recommended approach is to move that code into a separate module. The separate module can then be depended upon by your application and other projects. + +If you cannot rearrange your code as recommended above, Spring Boot’s Maven and Gradle plugins must be configured to produce a separate artifact that is suitable for use as a dependency. The executable archive cannot be used as a dependency as the [executable jar format](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#executable-jar-jar-file-structure) packages application classes in `BOOT-INF/classes`. This means that they cannot be found when the executable jar is used as a dependency. + +To produce the two artifacts, one that can be used as a dependency and one that is executable, a classifier must be specified. This classifier is applied to the name of the executable archive, leaving the default archive for use as a dependency. + +To configure a classifier of `exec` in Maven, you can use the following configuration: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + exec + + + + + +``` + +## 86.6 Extract Specific Libraries When an Executable Jar Runs + +Most nested libraries in an executable jar do not need to be unpacked in order to run. However, certain libraries can have problems. For example, JRuby includes its own nested jar support, which assumes that the `jruby-complete.jar` is always directly available as a file in its own right. + +To deal with any problematic libraries, you can flag that specific nested jars should be automatically unpacked to the “temp folder” when the executable jar first runs. + +For example, to indicate that JRuby should be flagged for unpacking by using the Maven Plugin, you would add the following configuration: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + + + org.jruby + jruby-complete + + + + + + + +``` + +## 86.7 Create a Non-executable JAR with Exclusions + +Often, if you have an executable and a non-executable jar as two separate build products, the executable version has additional configuration files that are not needed in a library jar. For example, the `application.yml` configuration file might by excluded from the non-executable JAR. + +In Maven, the executable jar must be the main artifact and you can add a classified jar for the library, as follows: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-maven-plugin + + + maven-jar-plugin + + + lib + package + + jar + + + lib + + application.yml + + + + + + + + +``` + +## 86.8 Remote Debug a Spring Boot Application Started with Maven + +To attach a remote debugger to a Spring Boot application that was started with Maven, you can use the `jvmArguments` property of the [maven plugin](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin). + +See [this example](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin/examples/run-debug.html) for more details. + +## 86.9 Build an Executable Archive from Ant without Using `spring-boot-antlib` + +To build with Ant, you need to grab dependencies, compile, and then create a jar or war archive. To make it executable, you can either use the `spring-boot-antlib`module or you can follow these instructions: + +1. If you are building a jar, package the application’s classes and resources in a nested `BOOT-INF/classes` directory. If you are building a war, package the application’s classes in a nested `WEB-INF/classes` directory as usual. +2. Add the runtime dependencies in a nested `BOOT-INF/lib` directory for a jar or `WEB-INF/lib` for a war. Remember **not** to compress the entries in the archive. +3. Add the `provided` (embedded container) dependencies in a nested `BOOT-INF/lib` directory for a jar or `WEB-INF/lib-provided` for a war. Remember **not** to compress the entries in the archive. +4. Add the `spring-boot-loader` classes at the root of the archive (so that the `Main-Class` is available). +5. Use the appropriate launcher (such as `JarLauncher` for a jar file) as a `Main-Class` attribute in the manifest and specify the other properties it needs as manifest entries — principally, by setting a `Start-Class` property. + +The following example shows how to build an executable archive with Ant: + +``` + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +``` + +The [Ant Sample](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-ant) has a `build.xml` file with a `manual` task that should work if you run it with the following command: + +``` +$ ant -lib clean manual + +``` + +Then you can run the application with the following command: + +``` +$ java -jar target/*.jar + +``` + +## 87. Traditional Deployment + +Spring Boot supports traditional deployment as well as more modern forms of deployment. This section answers common questions about traditional deployment. + +## 87.1 Create a Deployable War File + +The first step in producing a deployable war file is to provide a `SpringBootServletInitializer` subclass and override its `configure` method. Doing so makes use of Spring Framework’s Servlet 3.0 support and lets you configure your application when it is launched by the servlet container. Typically, you should update your application’s main class to extend `SpringBootServletInitializer`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@SpringBootApplication +public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer { + + @Override + protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) { + return application.sources(Application.class); + } + + public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { + SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); + } + +} + +``` + +The next step is to update your build configuration such that your project produces a war file rather than a jar file. If you use Maven and `spring-boot-starter-parent` (which configures Maven’s war plugin for you), all you need to do is to modify `pom.xml` to change the packaging to war, as follows: + +``` +war + +``` + +If you use Gradle, you need to modify `build.gradle` to apply the war plugin to the project, as follows: + +``` +apply plugin: 'war' + +``` + +The final step in the process is to ensure that the embedded servlet container does not interfere with the servlet container to which the war file is deployed. To do so, you need to mark the embedded servlet container dependency as being provided. + +If you use Maven, the following example marks the servlet container (Tomcat, in this case) as being provided: + +``` + + + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-tomcat + provided + + + + +``` + +If you use Gradle, the following example marks the servlet container (Tomcat, in this case) as being provided: + +``` +dependencies { + // … + providedRuntime 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat' + // … +} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `providedRuntime` is preferred to Gradle’s `compileOnly` configuration. Among other limitations, `compileOnly` dependencies are not on the test classpath, so any web-based integration tests fail. | + +If you use the [Spring Boot build tools](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#build-tool-plugins), marking the embedded servlet container dependency as provided produces an executable war file with the provided dependencies packaged in a `lib-provided` directory. This means that, in addition to being deployable to a servlet container, you can also run your application by using `java -jar`on the command line. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Take a look at Spring Boot’s sample applications for a [Maven-based example](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-traditional/pom.xml) of the previously described configuration. | + +## 87.2 Create a Deployable War File for Older Servlet Containers + +Older Servlet containers do not have support for the `ServletContextInitializer` bootstrap process used in Servlet 3.0. You can still use Spring and Spring Boot in these containers, but you are going to need to add a `web.xml` to your application and configure it to load an `ApplicationContext` via a `DispatcherServlet`. + +## 87.3 Convert an Existing Application to Spring Boot + +For a non-web application, it should be easy to convert an existing Spring application to a Spring Boot application. To do so, throw away the code that creates your`ApplicationContext` and replace it with calls to `SpringApplication` or `SpringApplicationBuilder`. Spring MVC web applications are generally amenable to first creating a deployable war application and then migrating it later to an executable war or jar. See the [Getting Started Guide on Converting a jar to a war](https://spring.io/guides/gs/convert-jar-to-war/). + +To create a deployable war by extending `SpringBootServletInitializer` (for example, in a class called `Application`) and adding the Spring Boot `@SpringBootApplication` annotation, use code similar to that shown in the following example: + +``` +@SpringBootApplication +public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer { + + @Override + protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) { + // Customize the application or call application.sources(...) to add sources + // Since our example is itself a @Configuration class (via @SpringBootApplication) + // we actually don't need to override this method. + return application; + } + +} + +``` + +Remember that, whatever you put in the `sources` is merely a Spring `ApplicationContext`. Normally, anything that already works should work here. There might be some beans you can remove later and let Spring Boot provide its own defaults for them, but it should be possible to get something working before you need to do that. + +Static resources can be moved to `/public` (or `/static` or `/resources` or `/META-INF/resources`) in the classpath root. The same applies to `messages.properties` (which Spring Boot automatically detects in the root of the classpath). + +Vanilla usage of Spring `DispatcherServlet` and Spring Security should require no further changes. If you have other features in your application (for instance, using other servlets or filters), you may need to add some configuration to your `Application` context, by replacing those elements from the `web.xml`, as follows: + +- A `@Bean` of type `Servlet` or `ServletRegistrationBean` installs that bean in the container as if it were a `` and `` in `web.xml`. +- A `@Bean` of type `Filter` or `FilterRegistrationBean` behaves similarly (as a `` and ``). +- An `ApplicationContext` in an XML file can be added through an `@ImportResource` in your `Application`. Alternatively, simple cases where annotation configuration is heavily used already can be recreated in a few lines as `@Bean` definitions. + +Once the war file is working, you can make it executable by adding a `main` method to your `Application`, as shown in the following example: + +``` +public static void main(String[] args) { + SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you intend to start your application as a war or as an executable application, you need to share the customizations of the builder in a method that is both available to the `SpringBootServletInitializer` callback and in the `main` method in a class similar to the following:`*@SpringBootApplication* public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer { *@Override* protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) { return configureApplication(builder); } public static void main(String[] args) { configureApplication(new SpringApplicationBuilder()).run(args); } private static SpringApplicationBuilder configureApplication(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) { return builder.sources(Application.class).bannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF); } }` | + +Applications can fall into more than one category: + +- Servlet 3.0+ applications with no `web.xml`. +- Applications with a `web.xml`. +- Applications with a context hierarchy. +- Applications without a context hierarchy. + +All of these should be amenable to translation, but each might require slightly different techniques. + +Servlet 3.0+ applications might translate pretty easily if they already use the Spring Servlet 3.0+ initializer support classes. Normally, all the code from an existing`WebApplicationInitializer` can be moved into a `SpringBootServletInitializer`. If your existing application has more than one `ApplicationContext`(for example, if it uses `AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer`) then you might be able to combine all your context sources into a single `SpringApplication`. The main complication you might encounter is if combining does not work and you need to maintain the context hierarchy. See the [entry on building a hierarchy](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-build-an-application-context-hierarchy) for examples. An existing parent context that contains web-specific features usually needs to be broken up so that all the `ServletContextAware`components are in the child context. + +Applications that are not already Spring applications might be convertible to Spring Boot applications, and the previously mentioned guidance may help. However, you may yet encounter problems. In that case, we suggest [asking questions on Stack Overflow with a tag of `spring-boot`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/spring-boot). + +## 87.4 Deploying a WAR to WebLogic + +To deploy a Spring Boot application to WebLogic, you must ensure that your servlet initializer **directly** implements `WebApplicationInitializer` (even if you extend from a base class that already implements it). + +A typical initializer for WebLogic should resemble the following example: + +``` +import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; +import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer; +import org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer; + +@SpringBootApplication +public class MyApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer { + +} + +``` + +If you use Logback, you also need to tell WebLogic to prefer the packaged version rather than the version that was pre-installed with the server. You can do so by adding a `WEB-INF/weblogic.xml` file with the following contents: + +``` + + + + + org.slf4j + + + + +``` + +## 87.5 Deploying a WAR in an Old (Servlet 2.5) Container + +Spring Boot uses Servlet 3.0 APIs to initialize the `ServletContext` (register `Servlets` and so on), so you cannot use the same application in a Servlet 2.5 container. It **is**, however, possible to run a Spring Boot application on an older container with some special tools. If you include `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-legacy` as a dependency ([maintained separately](https://github.com/scratches/spring-boot-legacy) to the core of Spring Boot and currently available at 1.1.0.RELEASE), all you need to do is create a `web.xml` and declare a context listener to create the application context and your filters and servlets. The context listener is a special purpose one for Spring Boot, but the rest of it is normal for a Spring application in Servlet 2.5. The following Maven example shows how to set up a Spring Boot project to run in a Servlet 2.5 container: + +``` + + + + + contextConfigLocation + demo.Application + + + + org.springframework.boot.legacy.context.web.SpringBootContextLoaderListener + + + + metricsFilter + org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy + + + + metricsFilter + /* + + + + appServlet + org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet + + contextAttribute + org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext.ROOT + + 1 + + + + appServlet + / + + + + +``` + +In the preceding example, we use a single application context (the one created by the context listener) and attach it to the `DispatcherServlet` by using an `init`parameter. This is normal in a Spring Boot application (you normally only have one application context). + +## 87.6 Use Jedis Instead of Lettuce + +By default, the Spring Boot starter (`spring-boot-starter-data-redis`) uses [Lettuce](https://github.com/lettuce-io/lettuce-core/). You need to exclude that dependency and include the [Jedis](https://github.com/xetorthio/jedis/) one instead. Spring Boot manages these dependencies to help make this process as easy as possible. + +The following example shows how to do so in Maven: + +``` + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-starter-data-redis + + + io.lettuce + lettuce-core + + + + + redis.clients + jedis + + +``` + +The following example shows how to do so in Gradle: + +``` +configurations { + compile.exclude module: "lettuce" +} + +dependencies { + compile("redis.clients:jedis") + // ... +} + +``` + +# Part X. Appendices + +## Appendix A.

Configuration Metadata + +Spring Boot jars include metadata files that provide details of all supported configuration properties. The files are designed to let IDE developers offer contextual help and “code completion” as users are working with `application.properties` or `application.yml` files. + +The majority of the metadata file is generated automatically at compile time by processing all items annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`. However, it is possible to [write part of the metadata manually](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#configuration-metadata-additional-metadata) for corner cases or more advanced use cases. + +## B.1 Metadata Format + +Configuration metadata files are located inside jars under `META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json` They use a simple JSON format with items categorized under either “groups” or “properties” and additional values hints categorized under "hints", as shown in the following example: + +``` +{"groups": [ + { + "name": "server", + "type": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties", + "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties" + }, + { + "name": "spring.jpa.hibernate", + "type": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.JpaProperties$Hibernate", + "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.JpaProperties", + "sourceMethod": "getHibernate()" + } + ... +],"properties": [ + { + "name": "server.port", + "type": "java.lang.Integer", + "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties" + }, + { + "name": "server.servlet.path", + "type": "java.lang.String", + "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties", + "defaultValue": "/" + }, + { + "name": "spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto", + "type": "java.lang.String", + "description": "DDL mode. This is actually a shortcut for the \"hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto\" property.", + "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.JpaProperties$Hibernate" + } + ... +],"hints": [ + { + "name": "spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto", + "values": [ + { + "value": "none", + "description": "Disable DDL handling." + }, + { + "value": "validate", + "description": "Validate the schema, make no changes to the database." + }, + { + "value": "update", + "description": "Update the schema if necessary." + }, + { + "value": "create", + "description": "Create the schema and destroy previous data." + }, + { + "value": "create-drop", + "description": "Create and then destroy the schema at the end of the session." + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +Each “property” is a configuration item that the user specifies with a given value. For example, `server.port` and `server.servlet.path` might be specified in`application.properties`, as follows: + +``` +server.port=9090 +server.servlet.path=/home + +``` + +The “groups” are higher level items that do not themselves specify a value but instead provide a contextual grouping for properties. For example, the `server.port` and`server.servlet.path` properties are part of the `server` group. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| It is not required that every “property” has a “group”. Some properties might exist in their own right. | + +Finally, “hints” are additional information used to assist the user in configuring a given property. For example, when a developer is configuring the`spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` property, a tool can use the hints to offer some auto-completion help for the `none`, `validate`, `update`, `create`, and `create-drop` values. + +### B.1.1 Group Attributes + +The JSON object contained in the `groups` array can contain the attributes shown in the following table: + +| Name | Type | Purpose | +| -------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `name` | String | The full name of the group. This attribute is mandatory. | +| `type` | String | The class name of the data type of the group. For example, if the group were based on a class annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`, the attribute would contain the fully qualified name of that class. If it were based on a `@Bean`method, it would be the return type of that method. If the type is not known, the attribute may be omitted. | +| `description` | String | A short description of the group that can be displayed to users. If not description is available, it may be omitted. It is recommended that descriptions be short paragraphs, with the first line providing a concise summary. The last line in the description should end with a period (`.`). | +| `sourceType` | String | The class name of the source that contributed this group. For example, if the group were based on a `@Bean` method annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`, this attribute would contain the fully qualified name of the `@Configuration` class that contains the method. If the source type is not known, the attribute may be omitted. | +| `sourceMethod` | String | The full name of the method (include parenthesis and argument types) that contributed this group (for example, the name of a `@ConfigurationProperties` annotated `@Bean` method). If the source method is not known, it may be omitted. | + +### B.1.2 Property Attributes + +The JSON object contained in the `properties` array can contain the attributes described in the following table: + +| Name | Type | Purpose | +| -------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `name` | String | The full name of the property. Names are in lower-case period-separated form (for example, `server.servlet.path`). This attribute is mandatory. | +| `type` | String | The full signature of the data type of the property (for example, `java.lang.String`) but also a full generic type (such as `java.util.Map`). You can use this attribute to guide the user as to the types of values that they can enter. For consistency, the type of a primitive is specified by using its wrapper counterpart (for example, `boolean` becomes `java.lang.Boolean`). Note that this class may be a complex type that gets converted from a `String`as values are bound. If the type is not known, it may be omitted. | +| `description` | String | A short description of the group that can be displayed to users. If no description is available, it may be omitted. It is recommended that descriptions be short paragraphs, with the first line providing a concise summary. The last line in the description should end with a period (`.`). | +| `sourceType` | String | The class name of the source that contributed this property. For example, if the property were from a class annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`, this attribute would contain the fully qualified name of that class. If the source type is unknown, it may be omitted. | +| `defaultValue` | Object | The default value, which is used if the property is not specified. If the type of the property is an array, it can be an array of value(s). If the default value is unknown, it may be omitted. | +| `deprecation` | Deprecation | Specify whether the property is deprecated. If the field is not deprecated or if that information is not known, it may be omitted. The next table offers more detail about the `deprecation` attribute. | + +The JSON object contained in the `deprecation` attribute of each `properties` element can contain the following attributes: + +| Name | Type | Purpose | +| ------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `level` | String | The level of deprecation, which can be either `warning` (the default) or `error`. When a property has a `warning` deprecation level, it should still be bound in the environment. However, when it has an `error` deprecation level, the property is no longer managed and is not bound. | +| `reason` | String | A short description of the reason why the property was deprecated. If no reason is available, it may be omitted. It is recommended that descriptions be short paragraphs, with the first line providing a concise summary. The last line in the description should end with a period (`.`). | +| `replacement` | String | The full name of the property that *replaces* this deprecated property. If there is no replacement for this property, it may be omitted. | + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Prior to Spring Boot 1.3, a single `deprecated` boolean attribute can be used instead of the `deprecation` element. This is still supported in a deprecated fashion and should no longer be used. If no reason and replacement are available, an empty `deprecation` object should be set. | + +Deprecation can also be specified declaratively in code by adding the `@DeprecatedConfigurationProperty` annotation to the getter exposing the deprecated property. For instance, assume that the `app.acme.target` property was confusing and was renamed to `app.acme.name`. The following example shows how to handle that situation: + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties("app.acme") +public class AcmeProperties { + + private String name; + + public String getName() { ... } + + public void setName(String name) { ... } + + @DeprecatedConfigurationProperty(replacement = "app.acme.name") + @Deprecated + public String getTarget() { + return getName(); + } + + @Deprecated + public void setTarget(String target) { + setName(target); + } +} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| There is no way to set a `level`. `warning` is always assumed, since code is still handling the property. | + +The preceding code makes sure that the deprecated property still works (delegating to the `name` property behind the scenes). Once the `getTarget` and `setTarget`methods can be removed from your public API, the automatic deprecation hint in the metadata goes away as well. If you want to keep a hint, adding manual metadata with an `error` deprecation level ensures that users are still informed about that property. Doing so is particularly useful when a `replacement` is provided. + +### B.1.3 Hint Attributes + +The JSON object contained in the `hints` array can contain the attributes shown in the following table: + +| Name | Type | Purpose | +| ----------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `name` | String | The full name of the property to which this hint refers. Names are in lower-case period-separated form (such as `server.servlet.path`). If the property refers to a map (such as `system.contexts`), the hint either applies to the *keys* of the map (`system.context.keys`) or the *values* (`system.context.values`) of the map. This attribute is mandatory. | +| `values` | ValueHint[] | A list of valid values as defined by the `ValueHint` object (described in the next table). Each entry defines the value and may have a description. | +| `providers` | ValueProvider[] | A list of providers as defined by the `ValueProvider` object (described later in this document). Each entry defines the name of the provider and its parameters, if any. | + +The JSON object contained in the `values` attribute of each `hint` element can contain the attributes described in the following table: + +| Name | Type | Purpose | +| ------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `value` | Object | A valid value for the element to which the hint refers. If the type of the property is an array, it can also be an array of value(s). This attribute is mandatory. | +| `description` | String | A short description of the value that can be displayed to users. If no description is available, it may be omitted . It is recommended that descriptions be short paragraphs, with the first line providing a concise summary. The last line in the description should end with a period (`.`). | + +The JSON object contained in the `providers` attribute of each `hint` element can contain the attributes described in the following table: + +| Name | Type | Purpose | +| ------------ | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `name` | String | The name of the provider to use to offer additional content assistance for the element to which the hint refers. | +| `parameters` | JSON object | Any additional parameter that the provider supports (check the documentation of the provider for more details). | + +### B.1.4 Repeated Metadata Items + +Objects with the same “property” and “group” name can appear multiple times within a metadata file. For example, you could bind two separate classes to the same prefix, with each having potentially overlapping property names. While the same names appearing in the metadata multiple times should not be common, consumers of metadata should take care to ensure that they support it. + +## B.2 Providing Manual Hints + +To improve the user experience and further assist the user in configuring a given property, you can provide additional metadata that: + +- Describes the list of potential values for a property. +- Associates a provider, to attach a well defined semantic to a property, so that a tool can discover the list of potential values based on the project’s context. + +### B.2.1 Value Hint + +The `name` attribute of each hint refers to the `name` of a property. In the [initial example shown earlier](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#configuration-metadata-format), we provide five values for the `spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto` property: `none`, `validate`, `update`, `create`, and `create-drop`. Each value may have a description as well. + +If your property is of type `Map`, you can provide hints for both the keys and the values (but not for the map itself). The special `.keys` and `.values` suffixes must refer to the keys and the values, respectively. + +Assume a `sample.contexts` maps magic `String` values to an integer, as shown in the following example: + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties("sample") +public class SampleProperties { + + private Map contexts; + // getters and setters +} + +``` + +The magic values are (in this example) are `sample1` and `sample2`. In order to offer additional content assistance for the keys, you could add the following JSON to[the manual metadata of the module](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#configuration-metadata-additional-metadata): + +``` +{"hints": [ + { + "name": "sample.contexts.keys", + "values": [ + { + "value": "sample1" + }, + { + "value": "sample2" + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| We recommend that you use an `Enum` for those two values instead. If your IDE supports it, this is by far the most effective approach to auto-completion. | + +### B.2.2 Value Providers + +Providers are a powerful way to attach semantics to a property. In this section, we define the official providers that you can use for your own hints. However, your favorite IDE may implement some of these or none of them. Also, it could eventually provide its own. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| As this is a new feature, IDE vendors must catch up with how it works. Adoption times naturally vary. | + +The following table summarizes the list of supported providers: + +| Name | Description | +| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `any` | Permits any additional value to be provided. | +| `class-reference` | Auto-completes the classes available in the project. Usually constrained by a base class that is specified by the `target` parameter. | +| `handle-as` | Handles the property as if it were defined by the type defined by the mandatory `target` parameter. | +| `logger-name` | Auto-completes valid logger names. Typically, package and class names available in the current project can be auto-completed. | +| `spring-bean-reference` | Auto-completes the available bean names in the current project. Usually constrained by a base class that is specified by the `target` parameter. | +| `spring-profile-name` | Auto-completes the available Spring profile names in the project. | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Only one provider can be active for a given property, but you can specify several providers if they can all manage the property *in some way*. Make sure to place the most powerful provider first, as the IDE must use the first one in the JSON section that it can handle. If no provider for a given property is supported, no special content assistance is provided, either. | + +#### Any + +The special **any** provider value permits any additional values to be provided. Regular value validation based on the property type should be applied if this is supported. + +This provider is typically used if you have a list of values and any extra values should still be considered as valid. + +The following example offers `on` and `off` as auto-completion values for `system.state`: + +``` +{"hints": [ + { + "name": "system.state", + "values": [ + { + "value": "on" + }, + { + "value": "off" + } + ], + "providers": [ + { + "name": "any" + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +Note that, in the preceding example, any other value is also allowed. + +#### Class Reference + +The **class-reference** provider auto-completes classes available in the project. This provider supports the following parameters: + +| Parameter | Type | Default value | Description | +| ---------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `target` | `String`(`Class`) | *none* | The fully qualified name of the class that should be assignable to the chosen value. Typically used to filter out-non candidate classes. Note that this information can be provided by the type itself by exposing a class with the appropriate upper bound. | +| `concrete` | `boolean` | true | Specify whether only concrete classes are to be considered as valid candidates. | + +The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard `server.servlet.jsp.class-name` property that defines the `JspServlet` class name to use: + +``` +{"hints": [ + { + "name": "server.servlet.jsp.class-name", + "providers": [ + { + "name": "class-reference", + "parameters": { + "target": "javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet" + } + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +#### Handle As + +The **handle-as** provider lets you substitute the type of the property to a more high-level type. This typically happens when the property has a `java.lang.String` type, because you do not want your configuration classes to rely on classes that may not be on the classpath. This provider supports the following parameters: + +| Parameter | Type | Default value | Description | +| ---------- | ------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| **target** | `String` (`Class`) | *none* | The fully qualified name of the type to consider for the property. This parameter is mandatory. | + +The following types can be used: + +- Any `java.lang.Enum`: Lists the possible values for the property. (We recommend defining the property with the `Enum` type, as no further hint should be required for the IDE to auto-complete the values.) +- `java.nio.charset.Charset`: Supports auto-completion of charset/encoding values (such as `UTF-8`) +- `java.util.Locale`: auto-completion of locales (such as `en_US`) +- `org.springframework.util.MimeType`: Supports auto-completion of content type values (such as `text/plain`) +- `org.springframework.core.io.Resource`: Supports auto-completion of Spring’s Resource abstraction to refer to a file on the filesystem or on the classpath. (such as `classpath:/sample.properties`) + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If multiple values can be provided, use a `Collection` or *Array* type to teach the IDE about it. | + +The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard `spring.liquibase.change-log` property that defines the path to the changelog to use. It is actually used internally as a `org.springframework.core.io.Resource` but cannot be exposed as such, because we need to keep the original String value to pass it to the Liquibase API. + +``` +{"hints": [ + { + "name": "spring.liquibase.change-log", + "providers": [ + { + "name": "handle-as", + "parameters": { + "target": "org.springframework.core.io.Resource" + } + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +#### Logger Name + +The **logger-name** provider auto-completes valid logger names. Typically, package and class names available in the current project can be auto-completed. Specific frameworks may have extra magic logger names that can be supported as well. + +Since a logger name can be any arbitrary name, this provider should allow any value but could highlight valid package and class names that are not available in the project’s classpath. + +The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard `logging.level` property. Keys are *logger names*, and values correspond to the standard log levels or any custom level. + +``` +{"hints": [ + { + "name": "logging.level.keys", + "values": [ + { + "value": "root", + "description": "Root logger used to assign the default logging level." + } + ], + "providers": [ + { + "name": "logger-name" + } + ] + }, + { + "name": "logging.level.values", + "values": [ + { + "value": "trace" + }, + { + "value": "debug" + }, + { + "value": "info" + }, + { + "value": "warn" + }, + { + "value": "error" + }, + { + "value": "fatal" + }, + { + "value": "off" + } + + ], + "providers": [ + { + "name": "any" + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +#### Spring Bean Reference + +The **spring-bean-reference** provider auto-completes the beans that are defined in the configuration of the current project. This provider supports the following parameters: + +| Parameter | Type | Default value | Description | +| --------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `target` | `String`(`Class`) | *none* | The fully qualified name of the bean class that should be assignable to the candidate. Typically used to filter out non-candidate beans. | + +The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard `spring.jmx.server` property that defines the name of the `MBeanServer` bean to use: + +``` +{"hints": [ + { + "name": "spring.jmx.server", + "providers": [ + { + "name": "spring-bean-reference", + "parameters": { + "target": "javax.management.MBeanServer" + } + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| The binder is not aware of the metadata. If you provide that hint, you still need to transform the bean name into an actual Bean reference using by the `ApplicationContext`. | + +#### Spring Profile Name + +The **spring-profile-name** provider auto-completes the Spring profiles that are defined in the configuration of the current project. + +The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard `spring.profiles.active` property that defines the name of the Spring profile(s) to enable: + +``` +{"hints": [ + { + "name": "spring.profiles.active", + "providers": [ + { + "name": "spring-profile-name" + } + ] + } +]} + +``` + +## B.3 Generating Your Own Metadata by Using the Annotation Processor + +You can easily generate your own configuration metadata file from items annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties` by using the `spring-boot-configuration-processor` jar. The jar includes a Java annotation processor which is invoked as your project is compiled. To use the processor, include `spring-boot-configuration-processor` as an optional dependency. For example, with Maven, you can add: + +``` + + org.springframework.boot + spring-boot-configuration-processor + true + + +``` + +With Gradle, you can use the [propdeps-plugin](https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/propdeps-plugin) and specify the following dependency: + +``` +dependencies { + optional "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor" +} + +compileJava.dependsOn(processResources) + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You need to add `compileJava.dependsOn(processResources)` to your build to ensure that resources are processed before code is compiled. Without this directive, any `additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` files are not processed. | + +The processor picks up both classes and methods that are annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`. The Javadoc for field values within configuration classes is used to populate the `description` attribute. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You should only use simple text with `@ConfigurationProperties` field Javadoc, since they are not processed before being added to the JSON. | + +Properties are discovered through the presence of standard getters and setters with special handling for collection types (that is detected even if only a getter is present). The annotation processor also supports the use of the `@Data`, `@Getter`, and `@Setter` lombok annotations. + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| If you are using AspectJ in your project, you need to make sure that the annotation processor runs only once. There are several ways to do this. With Maven, you can configure the `maven-apt-plugin` explicitly and add the dependency to the annotation processor only there. You could also let the AspectJ plugin run all the processing and disable annotation processing in the `maven-compiler-plugin` configuration, as follows:` org.apache.maven.plugins maven-compiler-plugin none ` | + +### B.3.1 Nested Properties + +The annotation processor automatically considers inner classes as nested properties. Consider the following class: + +``` +@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="server") +public class ServerProperties { + + private String name; + + private Host host; + + // ... getter and setters + + private static class Host { + + private String ip; + + private int port; + + // ... getter and setters + + } + +} + +``` + +The preceding example produces metadata information for `server.name`, `server.host.ip`, and `server.host.port` properties. You can use the `@NestedConfigurationProperty` annotation on a field to indicate that a regular (non-inner) class should be treated as if it were nested. + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| This has no effect on collections and maps, as those types are automatically identified, and a single metadata property is generated for each of them. | + +### B.3.2 Adding Additional Metadata + +Spring Boot’s configuration file handling is quite flexible, and it is often the case that properties may exist that are not bound to a `@ConfigurationProperties` bean. You may also need to tune some attributes of an existing key. To support such cases and let you provide custom "hints", the annotation processor automatically merges items from `META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` into the main metadata file. + +If you refer to a property that has been detected automatically, the description, default value, and deprecation information are overridden, if specified. If the manual property declaration is not identified in the current module, it is added as a new property. + +The format of the `additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` file is exactly the same as the regular `spring-configuration-metadata.json`. The additional properties file is optional. If you do not have any additional properties, do not add the file. + +## Appendix C. Auto-configuration classes + +Here is a list of all auto-configuration classes provided by Spring Boot, with links to documentation and source code. Remember to also look at the conditions report in your application for more details of which features are switched on. (To do so, start the app with `--debug` or `-Ddebug` or, in an Actuator application, use the `conditions` endpoint). + +## C.1 From the “spring-boot-autoconfigure” module + +The following auto-configuration classes are from the `spring-boot-autoconfigure` module: + +| Configuration Class | Links | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ |

If you use the Maven plugin or the Gradle plugin, executable jars are automatically generated, and you generally do not need to know the details of how they work. + +If you need to create executable jars from a different build system or if you are just curious about the underlying technology, this section provides some background. + +## E.1 Nested JARs + +Java does not provide any standard way to load nested jar files (that is, jar files that are themselves contained within a jar). This can be problematic if you need to distribute a self-contained application that can be run from the command line without unpacking. + +To solve this problem, many developers use “shaded” jars. A shaded jar packages all classes, from all jars, into a single “uber jar”. The problem with shaded jars is that it becomes hard to see which libraries are actually in your application. It can also be problematic if the same filename is used (but with different content) in multiple jars. Spring Boot takes a different approach and lets you actually nest jars directly. + +### E.1.1 The Executable Jar File Structure + +Spring Boot Loader-compatible jar files should be structured in the following way: + +``` +example.jar + | + +-META-INF + | +-MANIFEST.MF + +-org + | +-springframework + | +-boot + | +-loader + | +- + +-BOOT-INF + +-classes + | +-mycompany + | +-project + | +-YourClasses.class + +-lib + +-dependency1.jar + +-dependency2.jar + +``` + +Application classes should be placed in a nested `BOOT-INF/classes` directory. Dependencies should be placed in a nested `BOOT-INF/lib` directory. + +### E.1.2 The Executable War File Structure + +Spring Boot Loader-compatible war files should be structured in the following way: + +``` +example.war + | + +-META-INF + | +-MANIFEST.MF + +-org + | +-springframework + | +-boot + | +-loader + | +- + +-WEB-INF + +-classes + | +-com + | +-mycompany + | +-project + | +-YourClasses.class + +-lib + | +-dependency1.jar + | +-dependency2.jar + +-lib-provided + +-servlet-api.jar + +-dependency3.jar + +``` + +Dependencies should be placed in a nested `WEB-INF/lib` directory. Any dependencies that are required when running embedded but are not required when deploying to a traditional web container should be placed in `WEB-INF/lib-provided`. + +## E.2 Spring Boot’s “JarFile” Class + +The core class used to support loading nested jars is `org.springframework.boot.loader.jar.JarFile`. It lets you load jar content from a standard jar file or from nested child jar data. When first loaded, the location of each `JarEntry` is mapped to a physical file offset of the outer jar, as shown in the following example: + +``` +myapp.jar ++-------------------+-------------------------+ +| /BOOT-INF/classes | /BOOT-INF/lib/mylib.jar | +|+-----------------+||+-----------+----------+| +|| A.class ||| B.class | C.class || +|+-----------------+||+-----------+----------+| ++-------------------+-------------------------+ + ^ ^ ^ + 0063 3452 3980 + +``` + +The preceding example shows how `A.class` can be found in `/BOOT-INF/classes` in `myapp.jar` at position `0063`. `B.class` from the nested jar can actually be found in `myapp.jar` at position `3452`, and `C.class` is at position `3980`. + +Armed with this information, we can load specific nested entries by seeking to the appropriate part of the outer jar. We do not need to unpack the archive, and we do not need to read all entry data into memory. + +### E.2.1 Compatibility with the Standard Java “JarFile” + +Spring Boot Loader strives to remain compatible with existing code and libraries. `org.springframework.boot.loader.jar.JarFile` extends from `java.util.jar.JarFile` and should work as a drop-in replacement. The `getURL()` method returns a `URL` that opens a connection compatible with `java.net.JarURLConnection` and can be used with Java’s `URLClassLoader`. + +## E.3 Launching Executable Jars + +The `org.springframework.boot.loader.Launcher` class is a special bootstrap class that is used as an executable jar’s main entry point. It is the actual `Main-Class` in your jar file, and it is used to setup an appropriate `URLClassLoader` and ultimately call your `main()` method. + +There are three launcher subclasses (`JarLauncher`, `WarLauncher`, and `PropertiesLauncher`). Their purpose is to load resources (`.class` files and so on.) from nested jar files or war files in directories (as opposed to those explicitly on the classpath). In the case of `JarLauncher` and `WarLauncher`, the nested paths are fixed. `JarLauncher` looks in `BOOT-INF/lib/`, and `WarLauncher` looks in `WEB-INF/lib/` and `WEB-INF/lib-provided/`. You can add extra jars in those locations if you want more. The `PropertiesLauncher` looks in `BOOT-INF/lib/` in your application archive by default, but you can add additional locations by setting an environment variable called `LOADER_PATH` or `loader.path` in `loader.properties` (which is a comma-separated list of directories, archives, or directories within archives). + +### E.3.1 Launcher Manifest + +You need to specify an appropriate `Launcher` as the `Main-Class` attribute of `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF`. The actual class that you want to launch (that is, the class that contains a `main` method) should be specified in the `Start-Class` attribute. + +The following example shows a typical `MANIFEST.MF` for an executable jar file: + +``` +Main-Class: org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher +Start-Class: com.mycompany.project.MyApplication + +``` + +For a war file, it would be as follows: + +``` +Main-Class: org.springframework.boot.loader.WarLauncher +Start-Class: com.mycompany.project.MyApplication + +``` + +| ![[Note]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/note.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| You need not specify `Class-Path` entries in your manifest file. The classpath is deduced from the nested jars. | + +### E.3.2 Exploded Archives + +Certain PaaS implementations may choose to unpack archives before they run. For example, Cloud Foundry operates this way. You can run an unpacked archive by starting the appropriate launcher, as follows: + +``` +$ unzip -q myapp.jar +$ java org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher + +``` + +## E.4 `PropertiesLauncher` Features + +`PropertiesLauncher` has a few special features that can be enabled with external properties (System properties, environment variables, manifest entries, or`loader.properties`). The following table describes these properties: + +| Key | Purpose | +| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| `loader.path` | Comma-separated Classpath, such as `lib,${HOME}/app/lib`. Earlier entries take precedence, like a regular `-classpath`on the `javac` command line. | +| `loader.home` | Used to resolve relative paths in `loader.path`. For example, given `loader.path=lib`, then `${loader.home}/lib` is a classpath location (along with all jar files in that directory). This property is also used to locate a `loader.properties` file, as in the following example `/opt/app` It defaults to `${user.dir}`. | +| `loader.args` | Default arguments for the main method (space separated). | +| `loader.main` | Name of main class to launch (for example, `com.app.Application`). | +| `loader.config.name` | Name of properties file (for example, `launcher`) It defaults to `loader`. | +| `loader.config.location` | Path to properties file (for example, `classpath:loader.properties`). It defaults to `loader.properties`. | +| `loader.system` | Boolean flag to indicate that all properties should be added to System properties It defaults to `false`. | + +When specified as environment variables or manifest entries, the following names should be used: + +| Key | Manifest entry | Environment variable | +| ------------------------ | ------------------------ | ------------------------ | +| `loader.path` | `Loader-Path` | `LOADER_PATH` | +| `loader.home` | `Loader-Home` | `LOADER_HOME` | +| `loader.args` | `Loader-Args` | `LOADER_ARGS` | +| `loader.main` | `Start-Class` | `LOADER_MAIN` | +| `loader.config.location` | `Loader-Config-Location` | `LOADER_CONFIG_LOCATION` | +| `loader.system` | `Loader-System` | `LOADER_SYSTEM` | + +| ![[Tip]](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/images/tip.png) | +| ------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Build plugins automatically move the `Main-Class` attribute to `Start-Class` when the fat jar is built. If you use that, specify the name of the class to launch by using the `Main-Class` attribute and leaving out `Start-Class`. | + +The following rules apply to working with `PropertiesLauncher`: + +- `loader.properties` is searched for in `loader.home`, then in the root of the classpath, and then in `classpath:/BOOT-INF/classes`. The first location where a file with that name exists is used. +- `loader.home` is the directory location of an additional properties file (overriding the default) only when `loader.config.location` is not specified. +- `loader.path` can contain directories (which are scanned recursively for jar and zip files), archive paths, a directory within an archive that is scanned for jar files (for example, `dependencies.jar!/lib`), or wildcard patterns (for the default JVM behavior). Archive paths can be relative to `loader.home` or anywhere in the file system with a `jar:file:` prefix. +- `loader.path` (if empty) defaults to `BOOT-INF/lib` (meaning a local directory or a nested one if running from an archive). Because of this, `PropertiesLauncher` behaves the same as `JarLauncher` when no additional configuration is provided. +- `loader.path` can not be used to configure the location of `loader.properties` (the classpath used to search for the latter is the JVM classpath when `PropertiesLauncher` is launched). +- Placeholder replacement is done from System and environment variables plus the properties file itself on all values before use. +- The search order for properties (where it makes sense to look in more than one place) is environment variables, system properties, `loader.properties`, the exploded archive manifest, and the archive manifest. + +## E.5 Executable Jar Restrictions + +You need to consider the following restrictions when working with a Spring Boot Loader packaged application: + + + +- Zip entry compression: The `ZipEntry` for a nested jar must be saved by using the `ZipEntry.STORED` method. This is required so that we can seek directly to individual content within the nested jar. The content of the nested jar file itself can still be compressed, as can any other entries in the outer jar. + + + +- System classLoader: Launched applications should use `Thread.getContextClassLoader()` when loading classes (most libraries and frameworks do so by default). Trying to load nested jar classes with `ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()` fails. `java.util.Logging` always uses the system classloader. For this reason, you should consider a different logging implementation. + +## E.6 Alternative Single Jar Solutions + +If the preceding restrictions mean that you cannot use Spring Boot Loader, consider the following alternatives: + +- [Maven Shade Plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/) +- [JarClassLoader](http://www.jdotsoft.com/JarClassLoader.php) +- [OneJar](http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/) + +## Appendix F. Dependency versions + +The following table provides details of all of the dependency versions that are provided by Spring Boot in its CLI (Command Line Interface), Maven dependency management, and Gradle plugin. When you declare a dependency on one of these artifacts without declaring a version, the version listed in the table is used. + +| Group ID | Artifact ID | Version | +|
