Spring Cloud provides tools for developers to quickly build some of the common patterns in distributed systems (e.g. configuration management, service discovery, circuit breakers, intelligent routing, micro-proxy, control bus). Coordination of distributed systems leads to boiler plate patterns, and using Spring Cloud developers can quickly stand up services and applications that implement those patterns. They will work well in any distributed environment, including the developer’s own laptop, bare metal data centres, and managed platforms such as Cloud Foundry.

Spring Cloud Build
3. Building and Deploying
To install locally:
$ mvn install -s .settings.xml
and to deploy snapshots to repo.spring.io:
$ mvn deploy -DaltSnapshotDeploymentRepository=repo.spring.io::default::https://repo.spring.io/snapshot
for a RELEASE build use
$ mvn deploy -DaltReleaseDeploymentRepository=repo.spring.io::default::https://repo.spring.io/release
and for jcenter use
$ mvn deploy -DaltReleaseDeploymentRepository=bintray::default::https://api.bintray.com/maven/spring/jars/org.springframework.cloud:build
and for Maven Central use
$ mvn deploy -P central -DaltReleaseDeploymentRepository=sonatype-nexus-staging::default::https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2
(the "central" profile is available for all projects in Spring Cloud and it sets up the gpg jar signing, and the repository has to be specified separately for this project because it is a parent of the starter parent which users in turn have as their own parent).
4. Contributing
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license, and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but follow the guidelines below.
4.1. Sign the Contributor License Agreement
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the Contributor License Agreement. Signing the contributor’s agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
4.2. Code of Conduct
This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io.
4.3. Code Conventions and Housekeeping
None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be added after the original pull request but before a merge.
-
Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. If you use Eclipse you can import formatter settings using the
eclipse-code-formatter.xml
file from the Spring Cloud Build project. If using IntelliJ, you can use the Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin to import the same file. -
Make sure all new
.java
files to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an@author
tag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for. -
Add the ASF license header comment to all new
.java
files (copy from existing files in the project) -
Add yourself as an
@author
to the .java files that you modify substantially (more than cosmetic changes). -
Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements.
-
A few unit tests would help a lot as well — someone has to do it.
-
If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or other target branch in the main project).
-
When writing a commit message please follow these conventions, if you are fixing an existing issue please add
Fixes gh-XXXX
at the end of the commit message (where XXXX is the issue number).
4.4. Checkstyle
Spring Cloud Build comes with a set of checkstyle rules. You can find them in the spring-cloud-build-tools
module. The most notable files under the module are:
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml (3) └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt (2) └── checkstyle.xml (1)
1 | Default Checkstyle rules |
2 | File header setup |
3 | Default suppression rules |
4.4.1. Checkstyle configuration
Checkstyle rules are disabled by default. To add checkstyle to your project just define the following properties and plugins.
<properties> <maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnError>true</maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnError> (1) <maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnViolation>true </maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnViolation> (2) <maven-checkstyle-plugin.includeTestSourceDirectory>true </maven-checkstyle-plugin.includeTestSourceDirectory> (3) </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> (4) <groupId>io.spring.javaformat</groupId> <artifactId>spring-javaformat-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> <plugin> (5) <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> (5) <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> </build>
1 | Fails the build upon Checkstyle errors |
2 | Fails the build upon Checkstyle violations |
3 | Checkstyle analyzes also the test sources |
4 | Add the Spring Java Format plugin that will reformat your code to pass most of the Checkstyle formatting rules |
5 | Add checkstyle plugin to your build and reporting phases |
If you need to suppress some rules (e.g. line length needs to be longer), then it’s enough for you to define a file under ${project.root}/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
with your suppressions. Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE suppressions PUBLIC "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Suppressions 1.1//EN" "https://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/suppressions_1_1.dtd"> <suppressions> <suppress files=".*ConfigServerApplication\.java" checks="HideUtilityClassConstructor"/> <suppress files=".*ConfigClientWatch\.java" checks="LineLengthCheck"/> </suppressions>
It’s advisable to copy the ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.editorconfig
and ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.springformat
to your project. That way, some default formatting rules will be applied. You can do so by running this script:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/.editorconfig -o .editorconfig
$ touch .springformat
4.5. IDE setup
4.5.1. Intellij IDEA
In order to setup Intellij you should import our coding conventions, inspection profiles and set up the checkstyle plugin. The following files can be found in the Spring Cloud Build project.
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml (3) └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt (2) ├── checkstyle.xml (1) └── intellij ├── Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml (4) └── Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml (5)
1 | Default Checkstyle rules |
2 | File header setup |
3 | Default suppression rules |
4 | Project defaults for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules |
5 | Project style conventions for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules |

Go to File
→ Settings
→ Editor
→ Code style
. There click on the icon next to the Scheme
section. There, click on the Import Scheme
value and pick the Intellij IDEA code style XML
option. Import the spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml
file.

Go to File
→ Settings
→ Editor
→ Inspections
. There click on the icon next to the Profile
section. There, click on the Import Profile
and import the spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml
file.
To have Intellij work with Checkstyle, you have to install the Checkstyle
plugin. It’s advisable to also install the Assertions2Assertj
to automatically convert the JUnit assertions

Go to File
→ Settings
→ Other settings
→ Checkstyle
. There click on the +
icon in the Configuration file
section. There, you’ll have to define where the checkstyle rules should be picked from. In the image above, we’ve picked the rules from the cloned Spring Cloud Build repository. However, you can point to the Spring Cloud Build’s GitHub repository (e.g. for the checkstyle.xml
: raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle.xml
). We need to provide the following variables:
-
checkstyle.header.file
- please point it to the Spring Cloud Build’s,spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt
file either in your cloned repo or via theraw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt
URL. -
checkstyle.suppressions.file
- default suppressions. Please point it to the Spring Cloud Build’s,spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
file either in your cloned repo or via theraw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
URL. -
checkstyle.additional.suppressions.file
- this variable corresponds to suppressions in your local project. E.g. you’re working onspring-cloud-contract
. Then point to theproject-root/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
folder. Example forspring-cloud-contract
would be:/home/username/spring-cloud-contract/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
.
Remember to set the Scan Scope to All sources since we apply checkstyle rules for production and test sources.
|
5. Flattening the POMs
To avoid propagating build setup that is required to build a Spring Cloud project, we’re using the maven flatten plugin. It has the advantage of letting you use whatever features you need while publishing "clean" pom to the repository.
In order to add it, add the org.codehaus.mojo:flatten-maven-plugin
to your pom.xml
.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>flatten-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
6. Reusing the documentation
Spring Cloud Build publishes its spring-cloud-build-docs
module that contains
helpful scripts (e.g. README generation ruby script) and css, xslt and images
for the Spring Cloud documentation. If you want to follow the same convention
approach of generating documentation just add these plugins to your docs
module
<properties>
<upload-docs-zip.phase>deploy</upload-docs-zip.phase> (8)
</properties>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>docs</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>pl.project13.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>git-commit-id-plugin</artifactId> (1)
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> (2)
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId> (3)
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId> (4)
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.asciidoctor</groupId>
<artifactId>asciidoctor-maven-plugin</artifactId> (5)
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> (6)
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId> (7)
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
1 | This plugin downloads sets up all the git information of the project |
2 | This plugin downloads the resources of the spring-cloud-build-docs module |
3 | This plugin unpacks the resources of the spring-cloud-build-docs module |
4 | This plugin generates an adoc file with all the configuration properties from the classpath |
5 | This plugin is required to parse the Asciidoctor documentation |
6 | This plugin is required to copy resources into proper final destinations and to generate main README.adoc and to assert that no files use unresolved links |
7 | This plugin ensures that the generated zip docs will get published |
8 | This property turns on the "deploy" phase for <7> |
The order of plugin declaration is important! |
In order for the build to generate the adoc
file with all your configuration properties, your docs
module should contain all the dependencies on the classpath, that you would want to scan for configuration properties. The file will be output to ${docsModule}/src/main/asciidoc/_configprops.adoc
file (configurable via the configprops.path
property).
If you want to modify which of the configuration properties are put in the table, you can tweak the configprops.inclusionPattern
pattern to include only a subset of the properties (e.g. <configprops.inclusionPattern>spring.sleuth.*</configprops.inclusionPattern>
).
Spring Cloud Build Docs comes with a set of attributes for asciidoctor that you can reuse.
<attributes>
<docinfo>shared</docinfo>
<allow-uri-read>true</allow-uri-read>
<nofooter/>
<toc>left</toc>
<toc-levels>4</toc-levels>

7. Updating the guides
We assume that your project contains guides under the guides
folder.
.
└── guides
├── gs-guide1
├── gs-guide2
└── gs-guide3
This means that the project contains 3 guides that would correspond to the following guides in Spring Guides org.
If you deploy your project with the -Pguides
profile like this
$ ./mvnw clean deploy -Pguides
what will happen is that for GA project versions, we will clone gs-guide1
, gs-guide2
and gs-guide3
and update their contents with the ones being under your guides
project.
You can skip this by either not adding the guides
profile, or passing the -DskipGuides
system property when the profile is turned on.
You can configure the project version passed to guides via the guides-project.version
(defaults to ${project.version}
). The phase at which guides get updated can be configured by guides-update.phase
(defaults to deploy
).
Spring Cloud Bus
Spring Cloud Bus links the nodes of a distributed system with a lightweight message broker. This broker can then be used to broadcast state changes (such as configuration changes) or other management instructions. A key idea is that the bus is like a distributed actuator for a Spring Boot application that is scaled out. However, it can also be used as a communication channel between apps. This project provides starters for either an AMQP broker or Kafka as the transport.
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license. If you would like to contribute to this section of the documentation or if you find an error, please find the source code and issue trackers in the project at github. |
8. Quick Start
Spring Cloud Bus works by adding Spring Boot autconfiguration if it detects itself on the
classpath. To enable the bus, add spring-cloud-starter-bus-amqp
or
spring-cloud-starter-bus-kafka
to your dependency management. Spring Cloud takes care of
the rest. Make sure the broker (RabbitMQ or Kafka) is available and configured. When
running on localhost, you need not do anything. If you run remotely, use Spring Cloud
Connectors or Spring Boot conventions to define the broker credentials, as shown in the
following example for Rabbit:
spring: rabbitmq: host: mybroker.com port: 5672 username: user password: secret
The bus currently supports sending messages to all nodes listening or all nodes for a
particular service (as defined by Eureka). The /bus/*
actuator namespace has some HTTP
endpoints. Currently, two are implemented. The first, /bus/env
, sends key/value pairs to
update each node’s Spring Environment. The second, /bus/refresh
, reloads each
application’s configuration, as though they had all been pinged on their /refresh
endpoint.
The Spring Cloud Bus starters cover Rabbit and Kafka, because those are the two most
common implementations. However, Spring Cloud Stream is quite flexible, and the binder
works with spring-cloud-bus .
|
9. Bus Endpoints
Spring Cloud Bus provides two endpoints, /actuator/busrefresh
and /actuator/busenv
that correspond to individual actuator endpoints in Spring Cloud Commons,
/actuator/refresh
and /actuator/env
respectively.
9.1. Bus Refresh Endpoint
The /actuator/busrefresh
endpoint clears the RefreshScope
cache and rebinds
@ConfigurationProperties
. See the Refresh Scope documentation for
more information.
To expose the /actuator/busrefresh
endpoint, you need to add following configuration to your
application:
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=busrefresh
9.2. Bus Env Endpoint
The /actuator/busenv
endpoint updates each instances environment with the specified
key/value pair across multiple instances.
To expose the /actuator/busenv
endpoint, you need to add following configuration to your
application:
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=busenv
The /actuator/busenv
endpoint accepts POST
requests with the following shape:
{
"name": "key1",
"value": "value1"
}
10. Addressing an Instance
Each instance of the application has a service ID, whose value can be set with
spring.cloud.bus.id
and whose value is expected to be a colon-separated list of
identifiers, in order from least specific to most specific. The default value is
constructed from the environment as a combination of the spring.application.name
and
server.port
(or spring.application.index
, if set). The default value of the ID is
constructed in the form of app:index:id
, where:
-
app
is thevcap.application.name
, if it exists, orspring.application.name
-
index
is thevcap.application.instance_index
, if it exists,spring.application.index
,local.server.port
,server.port
, or0
(in that order). -
id
is thevcap.application.instance_id
, if it exists, or a random value.
The HTTP endpoints accept a “destination” path parameter, such as
/busrefresh/customers:9000
, where destination
is a service ID. If the ID
is owned by an instance on the bus, it processes the message, and all other instances
ignore it.
11. Addressing All Instances of a Service
The “destination” parameter is used in a Spring PathMatcher
(with the path separator
as a colon — :
) to determine if an instance processes the message. Using the example
from earlier, /busenv/customers:**
targets all instances of the
“customers” service regardless of the rest of the service ID.
12. Service ID Must Be Unique
The bus tries twice to eliminate processing an event — once from the original
ApplicationEvent
and once from the queue. To do so, it checks the sending service ID
against the current service ID. If multiple instances of a service have the same ID,
events are not processed. When running on a local machine, each service is on a different
port, and that port is part of the ID. Cloud Foundry supplies an index to differentiate.
To ensure that the ID is unique outside Cloud Foundry, set spring.application.index
to
something unique for each instance of a service.
13. Customizing the Message Broker
Spring Cloud Bus uses Spring Cloud Stream to
broadcast the messages. So, to get messages to flow, you need only include the binder
implementation of your choice in the classpath. There are convenient starters for the bus
with AMQP (RabbitMQ) and Kafka (spring-cloud-starter-bus-[amqp|kafka]
). Generally
speaking, Spring Cloud Stream relies on Spring Boot autoconfiguration conventions for
configuring middleware. For instance, the AMQP broker address can be changed with
spring.rabbitmq.*
configuration properties. Spring Cloud Bus has a handful of
native configuration properties in spring.cloud.bus.*
(for example,
spring.cloud.bus.destination
is the name of the topic to use as the external
middleware). Normally, the defaults suffice.
To learn more about how to customize the message broker settings, consult the Spring Cloud Stream documentation.
14. Tracing Bus Events
Bus events (subclasses of RemoteApplicationEvent
) can be traced by setting
spring.cloud.bus.trace.enabled=true
. If you do so, the Spring Boot TraceRepository
(if it is present) shows each event sent and all the acks from each service instance. The
following example comes from the /trace
endpoint:
{
"timestamp": "2015-11-26T10:24:44.411+0000",
"info": {
"signal": "spring.cloud.bus.ack",
"type": "RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent",
"id": "c4d374b7-58ea-4928-a312-31984def293b",
"origin": "stores:8081",
"destination": "*:**"
}
},
{
"timestamp": "2015-11-26T10:24:41.864+0000",
"info": {
"signal": "spring.cloud.bus.sent",
"type": "RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent",
"id": "c4d374b7-58ea-4928-a312-31984def293b",
"origin": "customers:9000",
"destination": "*:**"
}
},
{
"timestamp": "2015-11-26T10:24:41.862+0000",
"info": {
"signal": "spring.cloud.bus.ack",
"type": "RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent",
"id": "c4d374b7-58ea-4928-a312-31984def293b",
"origin": "customers:9000",
"destination": "*:**"
}
}
The preceding trace shows that a RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent
was sent from
customers:9000
, broadcast to all services, and received (acked) by customers:9000
and
stores:8081
.
To handle the ack signals yourself, you could add an @EventListener
for the
AckRemoteApplicationEvent
and SentApplicationEvent
types to your app (and enable
tracing). Alternatively, you could tap into the TraceRepository
and mine the data from
there.
Any Bus application can trace acks. However, sometimes, it is useful to do this in a central service that can do more complex queries on the data or forward it to a specialized tracing service. |
15. Broadcasting Your Own Events
The Bus can carry any event of type RemoteApplicationEvent
. The default transport is
JSON, and the deserializer needs to know which types are going to be used ahead of time.
To register a new type, you must put it in a subpackage of
org.springframework.cloud.bus.event
.
To customise the event name, you can use @JsonTypeName
on your custom class or rely on
the default strategy, which is to use the simple name of the class.
Both the producer and the consumer need access to the class definition. |
15.1. Registering events in custom packages
If you cannot or do not want to use a subpackage of org.springframework.cloud.bus.event
for your custom events, you must specify which packages to scan for events of type
RemoteApplicationEvent
by using the @RemoteApplicationEventScan
annotation. Packages
specified with @RemoteApplicationEventScan
include subpackages.
For example, consider the following custom event, called MyEvent
:
package com.acme;
public class MyEvent extends RemoteApplicationEvent {
...
}
You can register that event with the deserializer in the following way:
package com.acme;
@Configuration
@RemoteApplicationEventScan
public class BusConfiguration {
...
}
Without specifying a value, the package of the class where @RemoteApplicationEventScan
is used is registered. In this example, com.acme
is registered by using the package of
BusConfiguration
.
You can also explicitly specify the packages to scan by using the value
, basePackages
or basePackageClasses
properties on @RemoteApplicationEventScan
, as shown in the
following example:
package com.acme;
@Configuration
//@RemoteApplicationEventScan({"com.acme", "foo.bar"})
//@RemoteApplicationEventScan(basePackages = {"com.acme", "foo.bar", "fizz.buzz"})
@RemoteApplicationEventScan(basePackageClasses = BusConfiguration.class)
public class BusConfiguration {
...
}
All of the preceding examples of @RemoteApplicationEventScan
are equivalent, in that the
com.acme
package is registered by explicitly specifying the packages on
@RemoteApplicationEventScan
.
You can specify multiple base packages to scan. |
16. Configuration properties

Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker
17. Usage Documentation
The Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker project contains implementations for Resilience4J and Spring Retry. The APIs implemented in Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker live in Spring Cloud Commons. The usage documentation for these APIs are located in the Spring Cloud Commons documentation.
17.1. Configuring Resilience4J Circuit Breakers
17.1.1. Starters
There are two starters for the Resilience4J implementations, one for reactive applications and one for non-reactive applications.
-
org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-circuitbreaker-resilience4j
- non-reactive applications -
org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-circuitbreaker-reactor-resilience4j
- reactive applications
17.1.2. Auto-Configuration
You can disable the Resilience4J auto-configuration by setting
spring.cloud.circuitbreaker.resilience4j.enabled
to false
.
17.1.3. Default Configuration
To provide a default configuration for all of your circuit breakers create a Customize
bean that is passed a
Resilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory
or ReactiveResilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory
.
The configureDefault
method can be used to provide a default configuration.
@Bean
public Customizer<Resilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory> defaultCustomizer() {
return factory -> factory.configureDefault(id -> new Resilience4JConfigBuilder(id)
.timeLimiterConfig(TimeLimiterConfig.custom().timeoutDuration(Duration.ofSeconds(4)).build())
.circuitBreakerConfig(CircuitBreakerConfig.ofDefaults())
.build());
}
Reactive Example
@Bean
public Customizer<ReactiveResilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory> defaultCustomizer() {
return factory -> factory.configureDefault(id -> new Resilience4JConfigBuilder(id)
.circuitBreakerConfig(CircuitBreakerConfig.ofDefaults())
.timeLimiterConfig(TimeLimiterConfig.custom().timeoutDuration(Duration.ofSeconds(4)).build()).build());
}
17.1.4. Specific Circuit Breaker Configuration
Similarly to providing a default configuration, you can create a Customize
bean this is passed a
Resilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory
or ReactiveResilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory
.
@Bean
public Customizer<Resilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory> slowCustomizer() {
return factory -> factory.configure(builder -> builder.circuitBreakerConfig(CircuitBreakerConfig.ofDefaults())
.timeLimiterConfig(TimeLimiterConfig.custom().timeoutDuration(Duration.ofSeconds(2)).build()), "slow");
}
In addition to configuring the circuit breaker that is created you can also customize the circuit breaker after it has been created but before it is returned to the caller.
To do this you can use the addCircuitBreakerCustomizer
method.
This can be useful for adding event handlers to Resilience4J circuit breakers.
@Bean
public Customizer<Resilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory> slowCustomizer() {
return factory -> factory.addCircuitBreakerCustomizer(circuitBreaker -> circuitBreaker.getEventPublisher()
.onError(normalFluxErrorConsumer).onSuccess(normalFluxSuccessConsumer), "normalflux");
}
Reactive Example
@Bean
public Customizer<ReactiveResilience4JCircuitBreakerFactory> slowCustomizer() {
return factory -> {
factory.configure(builder -> builder
.timeLimiterConfig(TimeLimiterConfig.custom().timeoutDuration(Duration.ofSeconds(2)).build())
.circuitBreakerConfig(CircuitBreakerConfig.ofDefaults()), "slow", "slowflux");
factory.addCircuitBreakerCustomizer(circuitBreaker -> circuitBreaker.getEventPublisher()
.onError(normalFluxErrorConsumer).onSuccess(normalFluxSuccessConsumer), "normalflux");
};
}
17.1.5. Circuit Breaker Properties Configuration
You can configure CircuitBreaker
and TimeLimiter
instances in your application’s configuration properties file.
Property configuration has higher priority than Java Customizer
configuration.
resilience4j.circuitbreaker:
instances:
backendA:
registerHealthIndicator: true
slidingWindowSize: 100
backendB:
registerHealthIndicator: true
slidingWindowSize: 10
permittedNumberOfCallsInHalfOpenState: 3
slidingWindowType: TIME_BASED
recordFailurePredicate: io.github.robwin.exception.RecordFailurePredicate
resilience4j.timelimiter:
instances:
backendA:
timeoutDuration: 2s
cancelRunningFuture: true
backendB:
timeoutDuration: 1s
cancelRunningFuture: false
For more information on Resilience4j property configuration, see Resilience4J Spring Boot 2 Configuration.
17.1.6. Bulkhead pattern supporting
If resilience4j-bulkhead
is on the classpath, Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker will wrap all methods with a Resilience4j Bulkhead.
You can disable the Resilience4j Bulkhead by setting spring.cloud.circuitbreaker.bulkhead.resilience4j.enabled
to false
.
Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker Resilience4j provides two implementation of bulkhead pattern:
-
a
SemaphoreBulkhead
which uses Semaphores -
a
FixedThreadPoolBulkhead
which uses a bounded queue and a fixed thread pool.
By default, Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker Resilience4j uses FixedThreadPoolBulkhead
. For more information on implementation
of Bulkhead patterns see the Resilience4j Bulkhead.
The Customizer<Resilience4jBulkheadProvider>
can be used to provide a default Bulkhead
and ThreadPoolBulkhead
configuration.
@Bean
public Customizer<Resilience4jBulkheadProvider> defaultBulkheadCustomizer() {
return provider -> provider.configureDefault(id -> new Resilience4jBulkheadConfigurationBuilder()
.bulkheadConfig(BulkheadConfig.custom().maxConcurrentCalls(4).build())
.threadPoolBulkheadConfig(ThreadPoolBulkheadConfig.custom().coreThreadPoolSize(1).maxThreadPoolSize(1).build())
.build()
);
}
17.1.7. Specific Bulkhead Configuration
Similarly to proving a default 'Bulkhead' or 'ThreadPoolBulkhead' configuration, you can create a Customize
bean this
is passed a Resilience4jBulkheadProvider
.
@Bean
public Customizer<Resilience4jBulkheadProvider> slowBulkheadProviderCustomizer() {
return provider -> provider.configure(builder -> builder
.bulkheadConfig(BulkheadConfig.custom().maxConcurrentCalls(1).build())
.threadPoolBulkheadConfig(ThreadPoolBulkheadConfig.ofDefaults()), "slowBulkhead");
}
In addition to configuring the Bulkhead that is created you can also customize the bulkhead and thread pool bulkhead after they
have been created but before they are returned to caller. To do this you can use the addBulkheadCustomizer
and addThreadPoolBulkheadCustomizer
methods.
Bulkhead Example
@Bean
public Customizer<Resilience4jBulkheadProvider> customizer() {
return provider -> provider.addBulkheadCustomizer(bulkhead -> bulkhead.getEventPublisher()
.onCallRejected(slowRejectedConsumer)
.onCallFinished(slowFinishedConsumer), "slowBulkhead");
}
Thread Pool Bulkhead Example
@Bean
public Customizer<Resilience4jBulkheadProvider> slowThreadPoolBulkheadCustomizer() {
return provider -> provider.addThreadPoolBulkheadCustomizer(threadPoolBulkhead -> threadPoolBulkhead.getEventPublisher()
.onCallRejected(slowThreadPoolRejectedConsumer)
.onCallFinished(slowThreadPoolFinishedConsumer), "slowThreadPoolBulkhead");
}
17.1.8. Bulkhead Properties Configuration
You can configure ThreadPoolBulkhead and SemaphoreBulkhead instances in your application’s configuration properties file.
Property configuration has higher priority than Java Customizer
configuration.
resilience4j.thread-pool-bulkhead:
instances:
backendA:
maxThreadPoolSize: 1
coreThreadPoolSize: 1
resilience4j.bulkhead:
instances:
backendB:
maxConcurrentCalls: 10
For more inforamtion on the Resilience4j property configuration, see Resilience4J Spring Boot 2 Configuration.
17.1.9. Collecting Metrics
Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker Resilience4j includes auto-configuration to setup metrics collection as long as the right
dependencies are on the classpath. To enable metric collection you must include org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator
, and io.github.resilience4j:resilience4j-micrometer
. For more information on the metrics that
get produced when these dependencies are present, see the Resilience4j documentation.
You don’t have to include micrometer-core directly as it is brought in by spring-boot-starter-actuator
|
17.2. Configuring Spring Retry Circuit Breakers
Spring Retry provides declarative retry support for Spring applications.
A subset of the project includes the ability to implement circuit breaker functionality.
Spring Retry provides a circuit breaker implementation via a combination of it’s
CircuitBreakerRetryPolicy
and a stateful retry.
All circuit breakers created using Spring Retry will be created using the CircuitBreakerRetryPolicy
and a
DefaultRetryState
.
Both of these classes can be configured using SpringRetryConfigBuilder
.
17.2.1. Default Configuration
To provide a default configuration for all of your circuit breakers create a Customize
bean that is passed a
SpringRetryCircuitBreakerFactory
.
The configureDefault
method can be used to provide a default configuration.
@Bean
public Customizer<SpringRetryCircuitBreakerFactory> defaultCustomizer() {
return factory -> factory.configureDefault(id -> new SpringRetryConfigBuilder(id)
.retryPolicy(new TimeoutRetryPolicy()).build());
}
17.2.2. Specific Circuit Breaker Configuration
Similarly to providing a default configuration, you can create a Customize
bean this is passed a
SpringRetryCircuitBreakerFactory
.
@Bean
public Customizer<SpringRetryCircuitBreakerFactory> slowCustomizer() {
return factory -> factory.configure(builder -> builder.retryPolicy(new SimpleRetryPolicy(1)).build(), "slow");
}
In addition to configuring the circuit breaker that is created you can also customize the circuit breaker after it has been created but before it is returned to the caller.
To do this you can use the addRetryTemplateCustomizers
method.
This can be useful for adding event handlers to the RetryTemplate
.
@Bean
public Customizer<SpringRetryCircuitBreakerFactory> slowCustomizer() {
return factory -> factory.addRetryTemplateCustomizers(retryTemplate -> retryTemplate.registerListener(new RetryListener() {
@Override
public <T, E extends Throwable> boolean open(RetryContext context, RetryCallback<T, E> callback) {
return false;
}
@Override
public <T, E extends Throwable> void close(RetryContext context, RetryCallback<T, E> callback, Throwable throwable) {
}
@Override
public <T, E extends Throwable> void onError(RetryContext context, RetryCallback<T, E> callback, Throwable throwable) {
}
}));
}
18. Building
18.1. Basic Compile and Test
To build the source you will need to install JDK 1.8.
Spring Cloud uses Maven for most build-related activities, and you should be able to get off the ground quite quickly by cloning the project you are interested in and typing
$ ./mvnw install
You can also install Maven (>=3.3.3) yourself and run the mvn command
in place of ./mvnw in the examples below. If you do that you also
might need to add -P spring if your local Maven settings do not
contain repository declarations for spring pre-release artifacts.
|
Be aware that you might need to increase the amount of memory
available to Maven by setting a MAVEN_OPTS environment variable with
a value like -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m . We try to cover this in
the .mvn configuration, so if you find you have to do it to make a
build succeed, please raise a ticket to get the settings added to
source control.
|
The projects that require middleware (i.e. Redis) for testing generally require that a local instance of [Docker](www.docker.com/get-started) is installed and running.
18.2. Documentation
The spring-cloud-build module has a "docs" profile, and if you switch
that on it will try to build asciidoc sources from
src/main/asciidoc
. As part of that process it will look for a
README.adoc
and process it by loading all the includes, but not
parsing or rendering it, just copying it to ${main.basedir}
(defaults to $/Users/ryanjbaxter/git-repos/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-release/train-docs/target/unpacked-docs
, i.e. the root of the project). If there are
any changes in the README it will then show up after a Maven build as
a modified file in the correct place. Just commit it and push the change.
18.3. Working with the code
If you don’t have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use Spring Tools Suite or Eclipse when working with the code. We use the m2eclipse eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs and tools should also work without issue as long as they use Maven 3.3.3 or better.
18.3.1. Activate the Spring Maven profile
Spring Cloud projects require the 'spring' Maven profile to be activated to resolve the spring milestone and snapshot repositories. Use your preferred IDE to set this profile to be active, or you may experience build errors.
18.3.2. Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse
We recommend the m2eclipse eclipse plugin when working with eclipse. If you don’t already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse marketplace".
Older versions of m2e do not support Maven 3.3, so once the
projects are imported into Eclipse you will also need to tell
m2eclipse to use the right profile for the projects. If you
see many different errors related to the POMs in the projects, check
that you have an up to date installation. If you can’t upgrade m2e,
add the "spring" profile to your settings.xml . Alternatively you can
copy the repository settings from the "spring" profile of the parent
pom into your settings.xml .
|
18.3.3. Importing into eclipse without m2eclipse
If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project metadata using the following command:
$ ./mvnw eclipse:eclipse
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting import existing projects
from the file
menu.
19. Contributing
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license, and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but follow the guidelines below.
19.1. Sign the Contributor License Agreement
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the Contributor License Agreement. Signing the contributor’s agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
19.2. Code of Conduct
This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io.
19.3. Code Conventions and Housekeeping
None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be added after the original pull request but before a merge.
-
Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. If you use Eclipse you can import formatter settings using the
eclipse-code-formatter.xml
file from the Spring Cloud Build project. If using IntelliJ, you can use the Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin to import the same file. -
Make sure all new
.java
files to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an@author
tag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for. -
Add the ASF license header comment to all new
.java
files (copy from existing files in the project) -
Add yourself as an
@author
to the .java files that you modify substantially (more than cosmetic changes). -
Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements.
-
A few unit tests would help a lot as well — someone has to do it.
-
If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or other target branch in the main project).
-
When writing a commit message please follow these conventions, if you are fixing an existing issue please add
Fixes gh-XXXX
at the end of the commit message (where XXXX is the issue number).
19.4. Checkstyle
Spring Cloud Build comes with a set of checkstyle rules. You can find them in the spring-cloud-build-tools
module. The most notable files under the module are:
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml (3) └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt (2) └── checkstyle.xml (1)
1 | Default Checkstyle rules |
2 | File header setup |
3 | Default suppression rules |
19.4.1. Checkstyle configuration
Checkstyle rules are disabled by default. To add checkstyle to your project just define the following properties and plugins.
<properties> <maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnError>true</maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnError> (1) <maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnViolation>true </maven-checkstyle-plugin.failsOnViolation> (2) <maven-checkstyle-plugin.includeTestSourceDirectory>true </maven-checkstyle-plugin.includeTestSourceDirectory> (3) </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> (4) <groupId>io.spring.javaformat</groupId> <artifactId>spring-javaformat-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> <plugin> (5) <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> (5) <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> </build>
1 | Fails the build upon Checkstyle errors |
2 | Fails the build upon Checkstyle violations |
3 | Checkstyle analyzes also the test sources |
4 | Add the Spring Java Format plugin that will reformat your code to pass most of the Checkstyle formatting rules |
5 | Add checkstyle plugin to your build and reporting phases |
If you need to suppress some rules (e.g. line length needs to be longer), then it’s enough for you to define a file under ${project.root}/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
with your suppressions. Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE suppressions PUBLIC "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Suppressions 1.1//EN" "https://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/suppressions_1_1.dtd"> <suppressions> <suppress files=".*ConfigServerApplication\.java" checks="HideUtilityClassConstructor"/> <suppress files=".*ConfigClientWatch\.java" checks="LineLengthCheck"/> </suppressions>
It’s advisable to copy the ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.editorconfig
and ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.springformat
to your project. That way, some default formatting rules will be applied. You can do so by running this script:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/.editorconfig -o .editorconfig
$ touch .springformat
19.5. IDE setup
19.5.1. Intellij IDEA
In order to setup Intellij you should import our coding conventions, inspection profiles and set up the checkstyle plugin. The following files can be found in the Spring Cloud Build project.
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml (3) └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt (2) ├── checkstyle.xml (1) └── intellij ├── Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml (4) └── Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml (5)
1 | Default Checkstyle rules |
2 | File header setup |
3 | Default suppression rules |
4 | Project defaults for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules |
5 | Project style conventions for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules |

Go to File
→ Settings
→ Editor
→ Code style
. There click on the icon next to the Scheme
section. There, click on the Import Scheme
value and pick the Intellij IDEA code style XML
option. Import the spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml
file.

Go to File
→ Settings
→ Editor
→ Inspections
. There click on the icon next to the Profile
section. There, click on the Import Profile
and import the spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml
file.
To have Intellij work with Checkstyle, you have to install the Checkstyle
plugin. It’s advisable to also install the Assertions2Assertj
to automatically convert the JUnit assertions

Go to File
→ Settings
→ Other settings
→ Checkstyle
. There click on the +
icon in the Configuration file
section. There, you’ll have to define where the checkstyle rules should be picked from. In the image above, we’ve picked the rules from the cloned Spring Cloud Build repository. However, you can point to the Spring Cloud Build’s GitHub repository (e.g. for the checkstyle.xml
: raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle.xml
). We need to provide the following variables:
-
checkstyle.header.file
- please point it to the Spring Cloud Build’s,spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt
file either in your cloned repo or via theraw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt
URL. -
checkstyle.suppressions.file
- default suppressions. Please point it to the Spring Cloud Build’s,spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
file either in your cloned repo or via theraw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
URL. -
checkstyle.additional.suppressions.file
- this variable corresponds to suppressions in your local project. E.g. you’re working onspring-cloud-contract
. Then point to theproject-root/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
folder. Example forspring-cloud-contract
would be:/home/username/spring-cloud-contract/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml
.
Remember to set the Scan Scope to All sources since we apply checkstyle rules for production and test sources.

Spring Boot Cloud CLI
Spring Boot CLI provides Spring
Boot command line features for Spring
Cloud. You can write Groovy scripts to run Spring Cloud component
applications (e.g. @EnableEurekaServer
). You can also easily do
things like encryption and decryption to support Spring Cloud Config
clients with secret configuration values. With the Launcher CLI you
can launch services like Eureka, Zipkin, Config Server
conveniently all at once from the command line (very useful at
development time).
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license. If you would like to contribute to this section of the documentation or if you find an error, please find the source code and issue trackers in the project at github. |
20. Installation
To install, make sure you have Spring Boot CLI (2.0.0 or better):
$ spring version Spring CLI v2.2.3.RELEASE
E.g. for SDKMan users
$ sdk install springboot 2.2.3.RELEASE
$ sdk use springboot 2.2.3.RELEASE
and install the Spring Cloud plugin
$ mvn install
$ spring install org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-cli:2.2.0.RELEASE
Prerequisites: to use the encryption and decryption features you need the full-strength JCE installed in your JVM (it’s not there by default). You can download the "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files" from Oracle, and follow instructions for installation (essentially replace the 2 policy files in the JRE lib/security directory with the ones that you downloaded). |
21. Running Spring Cloud Services in Development
The Launcher CLI can be used to run common services like Eureka,
Config Server etc. from the command line. To list the available
services you can do spring cloud --list
, and to launch a default set
of services just spring cloud
. To choose the services to deploy,
just list them on the command line, e.g.
$ spring cloud eureka configserver h2 kafka stubrunner zipkin
Summary of supported deployables:
Service | Name | Address | Description |
---|---|---|---|
eureka |
Eureka Server |
Eureka server for service registration and discovery. All the other services show up in its catalog by default. |
|
configserver |
Config Server |
Spring Cloud Config Server running in the "native" profile and serving configuration from the local directory ./launcher |
|
h2 |
H2 Database |
localhost:9095 (console), jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9096/{data} |
Relation database service. Use a file path for |
kafka |
Kafka Broker |
localhost:9091 (actuator endpoints), localhost:9092 |
|
dataflow |
Dataflow Server |
Spring Cloud Dataflow server with UI at /admin-ui. Connect the Dataflow shell to target at root path. |
|
zipkin |
Zipkin Server |
Zipkin Server with UI for visualizing traces. Stores span data in memory and accepts them via HTTP POST of JSON data. |
|
stubrunner |
Stub Runner Boot |
Downloads WireMock stubs, starts WireMock and feeds the started servers with stored stubs. Pass |
Each of these apps can be configured using a local YAML file with the same name (in the current
working directory or a subdirectory called "config" or in ~/.spring-cloud
). E.g. in configserver.yml
you might want to
do something like this to locate a local git repository for the backend:
spring:
profiles:
active: git
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: file://${user.home}/dev/demo/config-repo
E.g. in Stub Runner app you could fetch stubs from your local .m2
in the following way.
stubrunner:
workOffline: true
ids:
- com.example:beer-api-producer:+:9876
21.1. Adding Additional Applications
Additional applications can be added to ./config/cloud.yml
(not
./config.yml
because that would replace the defaults), e.g. with
spring:
cloud:
launcher:
deployables:
source:
coordinates: maven://com.example:source:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
port: 7000
sink:
coordinates: maven://com.example:sink:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
port: 7001
when you list the apps:
$ spring cloud --list
source sink configserver dataflow eureka h2 kafka stubrunner zipkin
(notice the additional apps at the start of the list).
22. Writing Groovy Scripts and Running Applications
Spring Cloud CLI has support for most of the Spring Cloud declarative
features, such as the @Enable*
class of annotations. For example,
here is a fully functional Eureka server
@EnableEurekaServer
class Eureka {}
which you can run from the command line like this
$ spring run app.groovy
To include additional dependencies, often it suffices just to add the
appropriate feature-enabling annotation, e.g. @EnableConfigServer
,
@EnableOAuth2Sso
or @EnableEurekaClient
. To manually include a
dependency you can use a @Grab
with the special "Spring Boot" short
style artifact co-ordinates, i.e. with just the artifact ID (no need
for group or version information), e.g. to set up a client app to
listen on AMQP for management events from the Spring CLoud Bus:
@Grab('spring-cloud-starter-bus-amqp')
@RestController
class Service {
@RequestMapping('/')
def home() { [message: 'Hello'] }
}
23. Encryption and Decryption
The Spring Cloud CLI comes with an "encrypt" and a "decrypt" command. Both accept arguments in the same form with a key specified as a mandatory "--key", e.g.
$ spring encrypt mysecret --key foo 682bc583f4641835fa2db009355293665d2647dade3375c0ee201de2a49f7bda $ spring decrypt --key foo 682bc583f4641835fa2db009355293665d2647dade3375c0ee201de2a49f7bda mysecret
To use a key in a file (e.g. an RSA public key for encyption) prepend the key value with "@" and provide the file path, e.g.
$ spring encrypt mysecret --key @${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub AQAjPgt3eFZQXwt8tsHAVv/QHiY5sI2dRcR+...
Spring Cloud for Cloud Foundry
Spring Cloud for Cloudfoundry makes it easy to run Spring Cloud apps in Cloud Foundry (the Platform as a Service). Cloud Foundry has the notion of a "service", which is middlware that you "bind" to an app, essentially providing it with an environment variable containing credentials (e.g. the location and username to use for the service).
The spring-cloud-cloudfoundry-commons
module configures the
Reactor-based Cloud Foundry Java client, v 3.0, and can be used standalone.
The spring-cloud-cloudfoundry-web
project provides basic support for
some enhanced features of webapps in Cloud Foundry: binding
automatically to single-sign-on services and optionally enabling
sticky routing for discovery.
The spring-cloud-cloudfoundry-discovery
project provides an
implementation of Spring Cloud Commons DiscoveryClient
so you can
@EnableDiscoveryClient
and provide your credentials as
spring.cloud.cloudfoundry.discovery.[username,password]
(also *.url
if you are not connecting to Pivotal Web Services) and then you
can use the DiscoveryClient
directly or via a LoadBalancerClient
.
The first time you use it the discovery client might be slow owing to the fact that it has to get an access token from Cloud Foundry.
24. Discovery
Here’s a Spring Cloud app with Cloud Foundry discovery:
@Grab('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-cloudfoundry')
@RestController
@EnableDiscoveryClient
class Application {
@Autowired
DiscoveryClient client
@RequestMapping('/')
String home() {
'Hello from ' + client.getLocalServiceInstance()
}
}
If you run it without any service bindings:
$ spring jar app.jar app.groovy $ cf push -p app.jar
It will show its app name in the home page.
The DiscoveryClient
can lists all the apps in a space, according to
the credentials it is authenticated with, where the space defaults to
the one the client is running in (if any). If neither org nor space
are configured, they default per the user’s profile in Cloud Foundry.
25. Single Sign On
All of the OAuth2 SSO and resource server features moved to Spring Boot in version 1.3. You can find documentation in the Spring Boot user guide. |
This project provides automatic binding from CloudFoundry service
credentials to the Spring Boot features. If you have a CloudFoundry
service called "sso", for instance, with credentials containing
"client_id", "client_secret" and "auth_domain", it will bind
automatically to the Spring OAuth2 client that you enable with
@EnableOAuth2Sso
(from Spring Boot). The name of the service can be
parameterized using spring.oauth2.sso.serviceId
.
26. Configuration
To see the list of all Spring Cloud Sloud Foundry related configuration properties please check the Appendix page.
Cloud Native Applications
Cloud Native is a style of application development that encourages easy adoption of best practices in the areas of continuous delivery and value-driven development. A related discipline is that of building 12-factor Applications, in which development practices are aligned with delivery and operations goals — for instance, by using declarative programming and management and monitoring. Spring Cloud facilitates these styles of development in a number of specific ways. The starting point is a set of features to which all components in a distributed system need easy access.
Many of those features are covered by Spring Boot, on which Spring Cloud builds. Some more features are delivered by Spring Cloud as two libraries: Spring Cloud Context and Spring Cloud Commons.
Spring Cloud Context provides utilities and special services for the ApplicationContext
of a Spring Cloud application (bootstrap context, encryption, refresh scope, and environment endpoints). Spring Cloud Commons is a set of abstractions and common classes used in different Spring Cloud implementations (such as Spring Cloud Netflix and Spring Cloud Consul).
If you get an exception due to "Illegal key size" and you use Sun’s JDK, you need to install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files. See the following links for more information:
Extract the files into the JDK/jre/lib/security folder for whichever version of JRE/JDK x64/x86 you use.
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license. If you would like to contribute to this section of the documentation or if you find an error, you can find the source code and issue trackers for the project at github. |
27. Spring Cloud Context: Application Context Services
Spring Boot has an opinionated view of how to build an application with Spring. For instance, it has conventional locations for common configuration files and has endpoints for common management and monitoring tasks. Spring Cloud builds on top of that and adds a few features that many components in a system would use or occasionally need.
27.1. The Bootstrap Application Context
A Spring Cloud application operates by creating a “bootstrap” context, which is a parent context for the main application.
This context is responsible for loading configuration properties from the external sources and for decrypting properties in the local external configuration files.
The two contexts share an Environment
, which is the source of external properties for any Spring application.
By default, bootstrap properties (not bootstrap.properties
but properties that are loaded during the bootstrap phase) are added with high precedence, so they cannot be overridden by local configuration.
The bootstrap context uses a different convention for locating external configuration than the main application context.
Instead of application.yml
(or .properties
), you can use bootstrap.yml
, keeping the external configuration for bootstrap and main context nicely separate.
The following listing shows an example:
spring: application: name: foo cloud: config: uri: ${SPRING_CONFIG_URI:http://localhost:8888}
If your application needs any application-specific configuration from the server, it is a good idea to set the spring.application.name
(in bootstrap.yml
or application.yml
).
For the property spring.application.name
to be used as the application’s context ID, you must set it in bootstrap.[properties | yml]
.
If you want to retrieve specific profile configuration, you should also set spring.profiles.active
in bootstrap.[properties | yml]
.
You can disable the bootstrap process completely by setting spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=false
(for example, in system properties).
27.2. Application Context Hierarchies
If you build an application context from SpringApplication
or SpringApplicationBuilder
, the Bootstrap context is added as a parent to that context.
It is a feature of Spring that child contexts inherit property sources and profiles from their parent, so the “main” application context contains additional property sources, compared to building the same context without Spring Cloud Config.
The additional property sources are:
-
“bootstrap”: If any
PropertySourceLocators
are found in the bootstrap context and if they have non-empty properties, an optionalCompositePropertySource
appears with high priority. An example would be properties from the Spring Cloud Config Server. See “Customizing the Bootstrap Property Sources” for how to customize the contents of this property source. -
“applicationConfig: [classpath:bootstrap.yml]” (and related files if Spring profiles are active): If you have a
bootstrap.yml
(or.properties
), those properties are used to configure the bootstrap context. Then they get added to the child context when its parent is set. They have lower precedence than theapplication.yml
(or.properties
) and any other property sources that are added to the child as a normal part of the process of creating a Spring Boot application. See “Changing the Location of Bootstrap Properties” for how to customize the contents of these property sources.
Because of the ordering rules of property sources, the “bootstrap” entries take precedence.
However, note that these do not contain any data from bootstrap.yml
, which has very low precedence but can be used to set defaults.
You can extend the context hierarchy by setting the parent context of any ApplicationContext
you create — for example, by using its own interface or with the SpringApplicationBuilder
convenience methods (parent()
, child()
and sibling()
).
The bootstrap context is the parent of the most senior ancestor that you create yourself.
Every context in the hierarchy has its own “bootstrap” (possibly empty) property source to avoid promoting values inadvertently from parents down to their descendants.
If there is a config server, every context in the hierarchy can also (in principle) have a different spring.application.name
and, hence, a different remote property source.
Normal Spring application context behavior rules apply to property resolution: properties from a child context override those in
the parent, by name and also by property source name.
(If the child has a property source with the same name as the parent, the value from the parent is not included in the child).
Note that the SpringApplicationBuilder
lets you share an Environment
amongst the whole hierarchy, but that is not the default.
Thus, sibling contexts (in particular) do not need to have the same profiles or property sources, even though they may share common values with their parent.
27.3. Changing the Location of Bootstrap Properties
The bootstrap.yml
(or .properties
) location can be specified by setting spring.cloud.bootstrap.name
(default: bootstrap
), spring.cloud.bootstrap.location
(default: empty) or spring.cloud.bootstrap.additional-location
(default: empty) — for example, in System properties.
Those properties behave like the spring.config.*
variants with the same name.
With spring.cloud.bootstrap.location
the default locations are replaced and only the specified ones are used.
To add locations to the list of default ones, spring.cloud.bootstrap.additional-location
could be used.
In fact, they are used to set up the bootstrap ApplicationContext
by setting those properties in its Environment
.
If there is an active profile (from spring.profiles.active
or through the Environment
API in the context you are building), properties in that profile get loaded as well, the same as in a regular Spring Boot app — for example, from bootstrap-development.properties
for a development
profile.
27.4. Overriding the Values of Remote Properties
The property sources that are added to your application by the bootstrap context are often “remote” (from example, from Spring Cloud Config Server).
By default, they cannot be overridden locally.
If you want to let your applications override the remote properties with their own system properties or config files, the remote property source has to grant it permission by setting spring.cloud.config.allowOverride=true
(it does not work to set this locally).
Once that flag is set, two finer-grained settings control the location of the remote properties in relation to system properties and the application’s local configuration:
-
spring.cloud.config.overrideNone=true
: Override from any local property source. -
spring.cloud.config.overrideSystemProperties=false
: Only system properties, command line arguments, and environment variables (but not the local config files) should override the remote settings.
27.5. Customizing the Bootstrap Configuration
The bootstrap context can be set to do anything you like by adding entries to /META-INF/spring.factories
under a key named org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration
.
This holds a comma-separated list of Spring @Configuration
classes that are used to create the context.
Any beans that you want to be available to the main application context for autowiring can be created here.
There is a special contract for @Beans
of type ApplicationContextInitializer
.
If you want to control the startup sequence, you can mark classes with the @Order
annotation (the default order is last
).
When adding custom BootstrapConfiguration , be careful that the classes you add are not @ComponentScanned by mistake into your “main” application context, where they might not be needed.
Use a separate package name for boot configuration classes and make sure that name is not already covered by your @ComponentScan or @SpringBootApplication annotated configuration classes.
|
The bootstrap process ends by injecting initializers into the main SpringApplication
instance (which is the normal Spring Boot startup sequence, whether it runs as a standalone application or is deployed in an application server).
First, a bootstrap context is created from the classes found in spring.factories
.
Then, all @Beans
of type ApplicationContextInitializer
are added to the main SpringApplication
before it is started.
27.6. Customizing the Bootstrap Property Sources
The default property source for external configuration added by the bootstrap process is the Spring Cloud Config Server, but you can add additional sources by adding beans of type PropertySourceLocator
to the bootstrap context (through spring.factories
).
For instance, you can insert additional properties from a different server or from a database.
As an example, consider the following custom locator:
@Configuration
public class CustomPropertySourceLocator implements PropertySourceLocator {
@Override
public PropertySource<?> locate(Environment environment) {
return new MapPropertySource("customProperty",
Collections.<String, Object>singletonMap("property.from.sample.custom.source", "worked as intended"));
}
}
The Environment
that is passed in is the one for the ApplicationContext
about to be created — in other words, the one for which we supply additional property sources.
It already has its normal Spring Boot-provided property sources, so you can use those to locate a property source specific to this Environment
(for example, by keying it on spring.application.name
, as is done in the default Spring Cloud Config Server property source locator).
If you create a jar with this class in it and then add a META-INF/spring.factories
containing the following setting, the customProperty
PropertySource
appears in any application that includes that jar on its classpath:
org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration=sample.custom.CustomPropertySourceLocator
27.7. Logging Configuration
If you use Spring Boot to configure log settings, you should place this configuration in bootstrap.[yml | properties]
if you would like it to apply to all events.
For Spring Cloud to initialize logging configuration properly, you cannot use a custom prefix.
For example, using custom.loggin.logpath is not recognized by Spring Cloud when initializing the logging system.
|
27.8. Environment Changes
The application listens for an EnvironmentChangeEvent
and reacts to the change in a couple of standard ways (additional ApplicationListeners
can be added as @Beans
in the normal way).
When an EnvironmentChangeEvent
is observed, it has a list of key values that have changed, and the application uses those to:
-
Re-bind any
@ConfigurationProperties
beans in the context. -
Set the logger levels for any properties in
logging.level.*
.
Note that the Spring Cloud Config Client does not, by default, poll for changes in the Environment
.
Generally, we would not recommend that approach for detecting changes (although you could set it up with a
@Scheduled
annotation).
If you have a scaled-out client application, it is better to broadcast the EnvironmentChangeEvent
to all the instances instead of having them polling for changes (for example, by using the Spring Cloud Bus).
The EnvironmentChangeEvent
covers a large class of refresh use cases, as long as you can actually make a change to the Environment
and publish the event.
Note that those APIs are public and part of core Spring).
You can verify that the changes are bound to @ConfigurationProperties
beans by visiting the /configprops
endpoint (a standard Spring Boot Actuator feature).
For instance, a DataSource
can have its maxPoolSize
changed at runtime (the default DataSource
created by Spring Boot is a @ConfigurationProperties
bean) and grow capacity dynamically.
Re-binding @ConfigurationProperties
does not cover another large class of use cases, where you need more control over the refresh and where you need a change to be atomic over the whole ApplicationContext
.
To address those concerns, we have @RefreshScope
.
27.9. Refresh Scope
When there is a configuration change, a Spring @Bean
that is marked as @RefreshScope
gets special treatment.
This feature addresses the problem of stateful beans that get their configuration injected only when they are initialized.
For instance, if a DataSource
has open connections when the database URL is changed through the Environment
, you probably want the holders of those connections to be able to complete what they are doing.
Then, the next time something borrows a connection from the pool, it gets one with the new URL.
Sometimes, it might even be mandatory to apply the @RefreshScope
annotation on some beans that can be only initialized once.
If a bean is “immutable”, you have to either annotate the bean with @RefreshScope
or specify the classname under the property key: spring.cloud.refresh.extra-refreshable
.
If you hava a DataSource bean that is a HikariDataSource , it can not be
refreshed. It is the default value for spring.cloud.refresh.never-refreshable . Choose a
different DataSource implementation if you need it to be refreshed.
|
Refresh scope beans are lazy proxies that initialize when they are used (that is, when a method is called), and the scope acts as a cache of initialized values. To force a bean to re-initialize on the next method call, you must invalidate its cache entry.
The RefreshScope
is a bean in the context and has a public refreshAll()
method to refresh all beans in the scope by clearing the target cache.
The /refresh
endpoint exposes this functionality (over HTTP or JMX).
To refresh an individual bean by name, there is also a refresh(String)
method.
To expose the /refresh
endpoint, you need to add following configuration to your application:
management:
endpoints:
web:
exposure:
include: refresh
@RefreshScope works (technically) on a @Configuration class, but it might lead to surprising behavior.
For example, it does not mean that all the @Beans defined in that class are themselves in @RefreshScope .
Specifically, anything that depends on those beans cannot rely on them being updated when a refresh is initiated, unless it is itself in @RefreshScope .
In that case, it is rebuilt on a refresh and its dependencies are re-injected.
At that point, they are re-initialized from the refreshed @Configuration ).
|
27.10. Encryption and Decryption
Spring Cloud has an Environment
pre-processor for decrypting property values locally.
It follows the same rules as the Spring Cloud Config Server and has the same external configuration through encrypt.*
.
Thus, you can use encrypted values in the form of {cipher}*
, and, as long as there is a valid key, they are decrypted before the main application context gets the Environment
settings.
To use the encryption features in an application, you need to include Spring Security RSA in your classpath (Maven co-ordinates: org.springframework.security:spring-security-rsa
), and you also need the full strength JCE extensions in your JVM.
If you get an exception due to "Illegal key size" and you use Sun’s JDK, you need to install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files. See the following links for more information:
Extract the files into the JDK/jre/lib/security folder for whichever version of JRE/JDK x64/x86 you use.
27.11. Endpoints
For a Spring Boot Actuator application, some additional management endpoints are available. You can use:
-
POST
to/actuator/env
to update theEnvironment
and rebind@ConfigurationProperties
and log levels. To enabled this endpoint you must setmanagement.endpoint.env.post.enabled=true
. -
/actuator/refresh
to re-load the boot strap context and refresh the@RefreshScope
beans. -
/actuator/restart
to close theApplicationContext
and restart it (disabled by default). -
/actuator/pause
and/actuator/resume
for calling theLifecycle
methods (stop()
andstart()
on theApplicationContext
).
If you disable the /actuator/restart endpoint then the /actuator/pause and /actuator/resume endpoints
will also be disabled since they are just a special case of /actuator/restart .

28. Spring Cloud Commons: Common Abstractions
Patterns such as service discovery, load balancing, and circuit breakers lend themselves to a common abstraction layer that can be consumed by all Spring Cloud clients, independent of the implementation (for example, discovery with Eureka or Consul).
28.1. The @EnableDiscoveryClient
Annotation
Spring Cloud Commons provides the @EnableDiscoveryClient
annotation.
This looks for implementations of the DiscoveryClient
and ReactiveDiscoveryClient
interfaces with META-INF/spring.factories
.
Implementations of the discovery client add a configuration class to spring.factories
under the org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.EnableDiscoveryClient
key.
Examples of DiscoveryClient
implementations include Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka, Spring Cloud Consul Discovery, and Spring Cloud Zookeeper Discovery.
Spring Cloud will provide both the blocking and reactive service discovery clients by default.
You can disable the blocking and/or reactive clients easily by setting spring.cloud.discovery.blocking.enabled=false
or spring.cloud.discovery.reactive.enabled=false
.
To completely disable service discovery you just need to set spring.cloud.discovery.enabled=false
.
By default, implementations of DiscoveryClient
auto-register the local Spring Boot server with the remote discovery server.
This behavior can be disabled by setting autoRegister=false
in @EnableDiscoveryClient
.
@EnableDiscoveryClient is no longer required.
You can put a DiscoveryClient implementation on the classpath to cause the Spring Boot application to register with the service discovery server.
|
28.1.1. Health Indicators
Commons auto-configures the following Spring Boot health indicators.
DiscoveryClientHealthIndicator
This health indicator is based on the currently registered DiscoveryClient
implementation.
-
To disable entirely, set
spring.cloud.discovery.client.health-indicator.enabled=false
. -
To disable the description field, set
spring.cloud.discovery.client.health-indicator.include-description=false
. Otherwise, it can bubble up as thedescription
of the rolled upHealthIndicator
. -
To disable service retrieval, set
spring.cloud.discovery.client.health-indicator.use-services-query=false
. By default, the indicator invokes the client’sgetServices
method. In deployments with many registered services it may too costly to retrieve all services during every check. This will skip the service retrieval and instead use the client’sprobe
method.
DiscoveryCompositeHealthContributor
This composite health indicator is based on all registered DiscoveryHealthIndicator
beans. To disable,
set spring.cloud.discovery.client.composite-indicator.enabled=false
.
28.1.2. Ordering DiscoveryClient
instances
DiscoveryClient
interface extends Ordered
. This is useful when using multiple discovery
clients, as it allows you to define the order of the returned discovery clients, similar to
how you can order the beans loaded by a Spring application. By default, the order of any DiscoveryClient
is set to
0
. If you want to set a different order for your custom DiscoveryClient
implementations, you just need to override
the getOrder()
method so that it returns the value that is suitable for your setup. Apart from this, you can use
properties to set the order of the DiscoveryClient
implementations provided by Spring Cloud, among others ConsulDiscoveryClient
, EurekaDiscoveryClient
and
ZookeeperDiscoveryClient
. In order to do it, you just need to set the
spring.cloud.{clientIdentifier}.discovery.order
(or eureka.client.order
for Eureka) property to the desired value.
28.1.3. SimpleDiscoveryClient
If there is no Service-Registry-backed DiscoveryClient
in the classpath, SimpleDiscoveryClient
instance, that uses properties to get information on service and instances, will be used.
The information about the available instances should be passed to via properties in the following format:
spring.cloud.discovery.client.simple.instances.service1[0].uri=http://s11:8080
, where
spring.cloud.discovery.client.simple.instances
is the common prefix, then service1
stands
for the ID of the service in question, while [0]
indicates the index number of the instance
(as visible in the example, indexes start with 0
), and then the value of uri
is
the actual URI under which the instance is available.
28.2. ServiceRegistry
Commons now provides a ServiceRegistry
interface that provides methods such as register(Registration)
and deregister(Registration)
, which let you provide custom registered services.
Registration
is a marker interface.
The following example shows the ServiceRegistry
in use:
@Configuration
@EnableDiscoveryClient(autoRegister=false)
public class MyConfiguration {
private ServiceRegistry registry;
public MyConfiguration(ServiceRegistry registry) {
this.registry = registry;
}
// called through some external process, such as an event or a custom actuator endpoint
public void register() {
Registration registration = constructRegistration();
this.registry.register(registration);
}
}
Each ServiceRegistry
implementation has its own Registry
implementation.
-
ZookeeperRegistration
used withZookeeperServiceRegistry
-
EurekaRegistration
used withEurekaServiceRegistry
-
ConsulRegistration
used withConsulServiceRegistry
If you are using the ServiceRegistry
interface, you are going to need to pass the
correct Registry
implementation for the ServiceRegistry
implementation you
are using.
28.2.1. ServiceRegistry Auto-Registration
By default, the ServiceRegistry
implementation auto-registers the running service.
To disable that behavior, you can set:
* @EnableDiscoveryClient(autoRegister=false)
to permanently disable auto-registration.
* spring.cloud.service-registry.auto-registration.enabled=false
to disable the behavior through configuration.
ServiceRegistry Auto-Registration Events
There are two events that will be fired when a service auto-registers. The first event, called
InstancePreRegisteredEvent
, is fired before the service is registered. The second
event, called InstanceRegisteredEvent
, is fired after the service is registered. You can register an
ApplicationListener
(s) to listen to and react to these events.
These events will not be fired if the spring.cloud.service-registry.auto-registration.enabled property is set to false .
|
28.2.2. Service Registry Actuator Endpoint
Spring Cloud Commons provides a /service-registry
actuator endpoint.
This endpoint relies on a Registration
bean in the Spring Application Context.
Calling /service-registry
with GET returns the status of the Registration
.
Using POST to the same endpoint with a JSON body changes the status of the current Registration
to the new value.
The JSON body has to include the status
field with the preferred value.
Please see the documentation of the ServiceRegistry
implementation you use for the allowed values when updating the status and the values returned for the status.
For instance, Eureka’s supported statuses are UP
, DOWN
, OUT_OF_SERVICE
, and UNKNOWN
.
28.3. Spring RestTemplate as a Load Balancer Client
You can configure a RestTemplate
to use a Load-balancer client.
To create a load-balanced RestTemplate
, create a RestTemplate
@Bean
and use the @LoadBalanced
qualifier, as the following example shows:
@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {
@LoadBalanced
@Bean
RestTemplate restTemplate() {
return new RestTemplate();
}
}
public class MyClass {
@Autowired
private RestTemplate restTemplate;
public String doOtherStuff() {
String results = restTemplate.getForObject("http://stores/stores", String.class);
return results;
}
}
A RestTemplate bean is no longer created through auto-configuration.
Individual applications must create it.
|
The URI needs to use a virtual host name (that is, a service name, not a host name). The BlockingLoadBalancerClient is used to create a full physical address.
To use a load-balanced RestTemplate , you need to have a load-balancer implementation in your classpath.
Add Spring Cloud LoadBalancer starter to your project in order to use it.
|
28.4. Spring WebClient as a Load Balancer Client
You can configure WebClient
to automatically use a load-balancer client.
To create a load-balanced WebClient
, create a WebClient.Builder
@Bean
and use the @LoadBalanced
qualifier, as follows:
@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public WebClient.Builder loadBalancedWebClientBuilder() {
return WebClient.builder();
}
}
public class MyClass {
@Autowired
private WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder;
public Mono<String> doOtherStuff() {
return webClientBuilder.build().get().uri("http://stores/stores")
.retrieve().bodyToMono(String.class);
}
}
The URI needs to use a virtual host name (that is, a service name, not a host name). The Spring Cloud LoadBalancer is used to create a full physical address.
If you want to use a @LoadBalanced WebClient.Builder , you need to have a load balancer
implementation in the classpath. We recommend that you add the
Spring Cloud LoadBalancer starter to your project.
Then, ReactiveLoadBalancer is used underneath.
|
28.4.1. Retrying Failed Requests
A load-balanced RestTemplate
can be configured to retry failed requests.
By default, this logic is disabled.
For the non-reactive version (with RestTemplate
), you can enable it by adding Spring Retry to your application’s classpath. For the reactive version (with WebTestClient), you need to set `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.enabled=true
.
If you would like to disable the retry logic with Spring Retry or Reactive Retry on the classpath, you can set spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.enabled=false
.
For the non-reactive implementation, if you would like to implement a BackOffPolicy
in your retries, you need to create a bean of type LoadBalancedRetryFactory
and override the createBackOffPolicy()
method.
For the reactive implementation, you just need to enable it by setting spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.backoff.enabled
to false
.
You can set:
-
spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.maxRetriesOnSameServiceInstance
- indicates how many times a request should be retried on the sameServiceInstance
(counted separately for every selected instance) -
spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.maxRetriesOnNextServiceInstance
- indicates how many times a request should be retried a newly selectedServiceInstance
-
spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.retryableStatusCodes
- the status codes on which to always retry a failed request.
For the reactive implementation, you can additionally set:
- spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.backoff.minBackoff
- Sets the minimum backoff duration (by default, 5 milliseconds)
- spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.backoff.maxBackoff
- Sets the maximum backoff duration (by default, max long value of milliseconds)
- spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.backoff.jitter
- Sets the jitter used for calculationg the actual backoff duration for each call (by default, 0.5).
For the reactive implementation, you can also implement your own LoadBalancerRetryPolicy
to have more detailed control over the load-balanced call retries.
For load-balanced retries, by default, we wrap the ServiceInstanceListSupplier bean with RetryAwareServiceInstanceListSupplier to select a different instance from the one previously chosen, if available. You can disable this behavior by setting the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.retry.avoidPreviousInstance to false .
|
@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
LoadBalancedRetryFactory retryFactory() {
return new LoadBalancedRetryFactory() {
@Override
public BackOffPolicy createBackOffPolicy(String service) {
return new ExponentialBackOffPolicy();
}
};
}
}
If you want to add one or more RetryListener
implementations to your retry functionality, you need to
create a bean of type LoadBalancedRetryListenerFactory
and return the RetryListener
array
you would like to use for a given service, as the following example shows:
@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
LoadBalancedRetryListenerFactory retryListenerFactory() {
return new LoadBalancedRetryListenerFactory() {
@Override
public RetryListener[] createRetryListeners(String service) {
return new RetryListener[]{new RetryListener() {
@Override
public <T, E extends Throwable> boolean open(RetryContext context, RetryCallback<T, E> callback) {
//TODO Do you business...
return true;
}
@Override
public <T, E extends Throwable> void close(RetryContext context, RetryCallback<T, E> callback, Throwable throwable) {
//TODO Do you business...
}
@Override
public <T, E extends Throwable> void onError(RetryContext context, RetryCallback<T, E> callback, Throwable throwable) {
//TODO Do you business...
}
}};
}
};
}
}
28.5. Multiple RestTemplate
Objects
If you want a RestTemplate
that is not load-balanced, create a RestTemplate
bean and inject it.
To access the load-balanced RestTemplate
, use the @LoadBalanced
qualifier when you create your @Bean
, as the following example shows:
@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {
@LoadBalanced
@Bean
RestTemplate loadBalanced() {
return new RestTemplate();
}
@Primary
@Bean
RestTemplate restTemplate() {
return new RestTemplate();
}
}
public class MyClass {
@Autowired
private RestTemplate restTemplate;
@Autowired
@LoadBalanced
private RestTemplate loadBalanced;
public String doOtherStuff() {
return loadBalanced.getForObject("http://stores/stores", String.class);
}
public String doStuff() {
return restTemplate.getForObject("http://example.com", String.class);
}
}
Notice the use of the @Primary annotation on the plain RestTemplate declaration in the preceding example to disambiguate the unqualified @Autowired injection.
|
If you see errors such as java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate field com.my.app.Foo.restTemplate to com.sun.proxy.$Proxy89 , try injecting RestOperations or setting spring.aop.proxyTargetClass=true .
|
28.6. Multiple WebClient Objects
If you want a WebClient
that is not load-balanced, create a WebClient
bean and inject it.
To access the load-balanced WebClient
, use the @LoadBalanced
qualifier when you create your @Bean
, as the following example shows:
@Configuration
public class MyConfiguration {
@LoadBalanced
@Bean
WebClient.Builder loadBalanced() {
return WebClient.builder();
}
@Primary
@Bean
WebClient.Builder webClient() {
return WebClient.builder();
}
}
public class MyClass {
@Autowired
private WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder;
@Autowired
@LoadBalanced
private WebClient.Builder loadBalanced;
public Mono<String> doOtherStuff() {
return loadBalanced.build().get().uri("http://stores/stores")
.retrieve().bodyToMono(String.class);
}
public Mono<String> doStuff() {
return webClientBuilder.build().get().uri("http://example.com")
.retrieve().bodyToMono(String.class);
}
}
28.7. Spring WebFlux WebClient
as a Load Balancer Client
The Spring WebFlux can work with both reactive and non-reactive WebClient
configurations, as the topics describe:
28.7.1. Spring WebFlux WebClient
with ReactorLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction
You can configure WebClient
to use the ReactiveLoadBalancer
.
If you add Spring Cloud LoadBalancer starter to your project
and if spring-webflux
is on the classpath, ReactorLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction
is auto-configured.
The following example shows how to configure a WebClient
to use reactive load-balancer:
public class MyClass {
@Autowired
private ReactorLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction lbFunction;
public Mono<String> doOtherStuff() {
return WebClient.builder().baseUrl("http://stores")
.filter(lbFunction)
.build()
.get()
.uri("/stores")
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class);
}
}
The URI needs to use a virtual host name (that is, a service name, not a host name).
The ReactorLoadBalancer
is used to create a full physical address.
28.7.2. Spring WebFlux WebClient
with a Non-reactive Load Balancer Client
If spring-webflux
is on the classpath, LoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction
is auto-configured. Note, however, that this
uses a non-reactive client under the hood.
The following example shows how to configure a WebClient
to use load-balancer:
public class MyClass {
@Autowired
private LoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction lbFunction;
public Mono<String> doOtherStuff() {
return WebClient.builder().baseUrl("http://stores")
.filter(lbFunction)
.build()
.get()
.uri("/stores")
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class);
}
}
The URI needs to use a virtual host name (that is, a service name, not a host name).
The LoadBalancerClient
is used to create a full physical address.
WARN: This approach is now deprecated. We suggest that you use WebFlux with reactive Load-Balancer instead.
28.8. Ignore Network Interfaces
Sometimes, it is useful to ignore certain named network interfaces so that they can be excluded from Service Discovery registration (for example, when running in a Docker container).
A list of regular expressions can be set to cause the desired network interfaces to be ignored.
The following configuration ignores the docker0
interface and all interfaces that start with veth
:
spring: cloud: inetutils: ignoredInterfaces: - docker0 - veth.*
You can also force the use of only specified network addresses by using a list of regular expressions, as the following example shows:
spring: cloud: inetutils: preferredNetworks: - 192.168 - 10.0
You can also force the use of only site-local addresses, as the following example shows:
spring: cloud: inetutils: useOnlySiteLocalInterfaces: true
See Inet4Address.html.isSiteLocalAddress() for more details about what constitutes a site-local address.
28.9. HTTP Client Factories
Spring Cloud Commons provides beans for creating both Apache HTTP clients (ApacheHttpClientFactory
) and OK HTTP clients (OkHttpClientFactory
).
The OkHttpClientFactory
bean is created only if the OK HTTP jar is on the classpath.
In addition, Spring Cloud Commons provides beans for creating the connection managers used by both clients: ApacheHttpClientConnectionManagerFactory
for the Apache HTTP client and OkHttpClientConnectionPoolFactory
for the OK HTTP client.
If you would like to customize how the HTTP clients are created in downstream projects, you can provide your own implementation of these beans.
In addition, if you provide a bean of type HttpClientBuilder
or OkHttpClient.Builder
, the default factories use these builders as the basis for the builders returned to downstream projects.
You can also disable the creation of these beans by setting spring.cloud.httpclientfactories.apache.enabled
or spring.cloud.httpclientfactories.ok.enabled
to false
.
28.10. Enabled Features
Spring Cloud Commons provides a /features
actuator endpoint.
This endpoint returns features available on the classpath and whether they are enabled.
The information returned includes the feature type, name, version, and vendor.
28.10.1. Feature types
There are two types of 'features': abstract and named.
Abstract features are features where an interface or abstract class is defined and that an implementation the creates, such as DiscoveryClient
, LoadBalancerClient
, or LockService
.
The abstract class or interface is used to find a bean of that type in the context.
The version displayed is bean.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion()
.
Named features are features that do not have a particular class they implement. These features include “Circuit Breaker”, “API Gateway”, “Spring Cloud Bus”, and others. These features require a name and a bean type.
28.10.2. Declaring features
Any module can declare any number of HasFeature
beans, as the following examples show:
@Bean
public HasFeatures commonsFeatures() {
return HasFeatures.abstractFeatures(DiscoveryClient.class, LoadBalancerClient.class);
}
@Bean
public HasFeatures consulFeatures() {
return HasFeatures.namedFeatures(
new NamedFeature("Spring Cloud Bus", ConsulBusAutoConfiguration.class),
new NamedFeature("Circuit Breaker", HystrixCommandAspect.class));
}
@Bean
HasFeatures localFeatures() {
return HasFeatures.builder()
.abstractFeature(Something.class)
.namedFeature(new NamedFeature("Some Other Feature", Someother.class))
.abstractFeature(Somethingelse.class)
.build();
}
Each of these beans should go in an appropriately guarded @Configuration
.
28.11. Spring Cloud Compatibility Verification
Due to the fact that some users have problem with setting up Spring Cloud application, we’ve decided to add a compatibility verification mechanism. It will break if your current setup is not compatible with Spring Cloud requirements, together with a report, showing what exactly went wrong.
At the moment we verify which version of Spring Boot is added to your classpath.
Example of a report
*************************** APPLICATION FAILED TO START *************************** Description: Your project setup is incompatible with our requirements due to following reasons: - Spring Boot [2.1.0.RELEASE] is not compatible with this Spring Cloud release train Action: Consider applying the following actions: - Change Spring Boot version to one of the following versions [1.2.x, 1.3.x] . You can find the latest Spring Boot versions here [https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#learn]. If you want to learn more about the Spring Cloud Release train compatibility, you can visit this page [https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud#overview] and check the [Release Trains] section.
In order to disable this feature, set spring.cloud.compatibility-verifier.enabled
to false
.
If you want to override the compatible Spring Boot versions, just set the
spring.cloud.compatibility-verifier.compatible-boot-versions
property with a comma separated list
of compatible Spring Boot versions.
29. Spring Cloud LoadBalancer
Spring Cloud provides its own client-side load-balancer abstraction and implementation. For the load-balancing
mechanism, ReactiveLoadBalancer
interface has been added and a Round-Robin-based and Random implementations
have been provided for it. In order to get instances to select from reactive ServiceInstanceListSupplier
is used. Currently we support a service-discovery-based implementation of ServiceInstanceListSupplier
that retrieves available instances from Service Discovery using a Discovery Client available in the classpath.
It is possible to disable Spring Cloud LoadBalancer by setting the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.enabled to false .
|
29.1. Switching between the load-balancing algorithms
The ReactiveLoadBalancer
implementation that is used by default is RoundRobinLoadBalancer
. To switch to a different implementation, either for selected services or all of them, you can use the custom LoadBalancer configurations mechanism.
For example, the following configuration can be passed via @LoadBalancerClient
annotation to switch to using the RandomLoadBalancer
:
public class CustomLoadBalancerConfiguration {
@Bean
ReactorLoadBalancer<ServiceInstance> randomLoadBalancer(Environment environment,
LoadBalancerClientFactory loadBalancerClientFactory) {
String name = environment.getProperty(LoadBalancerClientFactory.PROPERTY_NAME);
return new RandomLoadBalancer(loadBalancerClientFactory
.getLazyProvider(name, ServiceInstanceListSupplier.class),
name);
}
}
The classes you pass as @LoadBalancerClient or @LoadBalancerClients configuration arguments should either not be annotated with @Configuration or be outside component scan scope.
|
29.2. Spring Cloud LoadBalancer integrations
In order to make it easy to use Spring Cloud LoadBalancer, we provide ReactorLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction
that can be used with WebClient
and BlockingLoadBalancerClient
that works with RestTemplate
.
You can see more information and examples of usage in the following sections:
29.3. Spring Cloud LoadBalancer Caching
Apart from the basic ServiceInstanceListSupplier
implementation that retrieves instances via DiscoveryClient
each time it has to choose an instance, we provide two caching implementations.
29.3.1. Caffeine-backed LoadBalancer Cache Implementation
If you have com.github.ben-manes.caffeine:caffeine
in the classpath, Caffeine-based implementation will be used.
See the LoadBalancerCacheConfiguration section for information on how to configure it.
If you are using Caffeine, you can also override the default Caffeine Cache setup for the LoadBalancer by passing your own Caffeine Specification
in the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.cache.caffeine.spec
property.
WARN: Passing your own Caffeine specification will override any other LoadBalancerCache settings, including General LoadBalancer Cache Configuration fields, such as ttl
and capacity
.
29.3.2. Default LoadBalancer Cache Implementation
If you do not have Caffeine in the classpath, the DefaultLoadBalancerCache
, which comes automatically with spring-cloud-starter-loadbalancer
, will be used.
See the LoadBalancerCacheConfiguration section for information on how to configure it.
To use Caffeine instead of the default cache, add the com.github.ben-manes.caffeine:caffeine dependency to classpath.
|
29.3.3. LoadBalancer Cache Configuration
You can set your own ttl
value (the time after write after which entries should be expired), expressed as Duration
, by passing a String
compliant with the Spring Boot String
to Duration
converter syntax.
as the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.cache.ttl
property.
You can also set your own LoadBalancer cache initial capacity by setting the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.cache.capacity
property.
The default setup includes ttl
set to 35 seconds and the default initialCapacity
is 256
.
You can also altogether disable loadBalancer caching by setting the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.cache.enabled
to false
.
Although the basic, non-cached, implementation is useful for prototyping and testing, it’s much less efficient than the cached versions, so we recommend always using the cached version in production. If the caching is already done by the DiscoveryClient implementation, for example EurekaDiscoveryClient , the load-balancer caching should be disabled to prevent double caching.
|
29.4. Zone-Based Load-Balancing
To enable zone-based load-balancing, we provide the ZonePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier
.
We use DiscoveryClient
-specific zone
configuration (for example, eureka.instance.metadata-map.zone
) to pick the zone that the client tries to filter available service instances for.
You can also override DiscoveryClient -specific zone setup by setting the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.zone property.
|
For the time being, only Eureka Discovery Client is instrumented to set the LoadBalancer zone. For other discovery client, set the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.zone property. More instrumentations coming shortly.
|
To determine the zone of a retrieved ServiceInstance , we check the value under the "zone" key in its metadata map.
|
The ZonePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier
filters retrieved instances and only returns the ones within the same zone.
If the zone is null
or there are no instances within the same zone, it returns all the retrieved instances.
In order to use the zone-based load-balancing approach, you will have to instantiate a ZonePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier
bean in a custom configuration.
We use delegates to work with ServiceInstanceListSupplier
beans.
We suggest passing a DiscoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier
delegate in the constructor of ZonePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier
and, in turn, wrapping the latter with a CachingServiceInstanceListSupplier
to leverage LoadBalancer caching mechanism.
You could use this sample configuration to set it up:
public class CustomLoadBalancerConfiguration {
@Bean
public ServiceInstanceListSupplier discoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier(
ConfigurableApplicationContext context) {
return ServiceInstanceListSupplier.builder()
.withDiscoveryClient()
.withZonePreference()
.withCaching()
.build(context);
}
}
29.5. Instance Health-Check for LoadBalancer
It is possible to enable a scheduled HealthCheck for the LoadBalancer. The HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier
is provided for that. It regularly verifies if the instances provided by a delegate
ServiceInstanceListSupplier
are still alive and only returns the healthy instances,
unless there are none - then it returns all the retrieved instances.
This mechanism is particularly helpful while using the SimpleDiscoveryClient . For the
clients backed by an actual Service Registry, it’s not necessary to use, as we already get
healthy instances after querying the external ServiceDiscovery.
|
This supplier is also recommended for setups with a small number of instances per service in order to avoid retrying calls on a failing instance. |
If using any of the Service Discovery-backed suppliers, adding this health-check mechanism is usually not necessary, as we retrieve the health state of the instances directly from the Service Registry. |
The HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier relies on having updated instances provided by a delegate flux. In the rare cases when you want to use a delegate that does not refresh the instances, even though the list of instances may change (such as the DiscoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier provided by us), you can set spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.refetch-instances to true to have the instance list refreshed by the HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier . You can then also adjust the refretch intervals by modifying the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.refetch-instances-interval and opt to disable the additional healthcheck repetitions by setting spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.repeat-health-check to false as every instances refetch
will also trigger a healthcheck.
|
HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier
uses properties prefixed with
spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check
. You can set the initialDelay
and interval
for the scheduler. You can set the default path for the healthcheck URL by setting
the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.path.default
property. You can also set a specific value for any given service by setting the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.path.[SERVICE_ID]
property, substituting [SERVICE_ID]
with the correct ID of your service. If the [SERVICE_ID]
is not specified, /actuator/health
is used by default. If the [SERVICE_ID]
is set to null
or empty as a value, then the health check will not be executed.
If you rely on the default path (/actuator/health ), make sure you add spring-boot-starter-actuator to your collaborator’s dependencies, unless you are planning to add such an endpoint on your own.
|
In order to use the health-check scheduler approach, you will have to instantiate a HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier
bean in a custom configuration.
We use delegates to work with ServiceInstanceListSupplier
beans.
We suggest passing a DiscoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier
delegate in the constructor of HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier
.
You could use this sample configuration to set it up:
public class CustomLoadBalancerConfiguration {
@Bean
public ServiceInstanceListSupplier discoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier(
ConfigurableApplicationContext context) {
return ServiceInstanceListSupplier.builder()
.withDiscoveryClient()
.withHealthChecks()
.build(context);
}
}
For the non-reactive stack, create this supplier with the withBlockingHealthChecks() .
You can also pass your own WebClient or RestTemplate instance to be used for the checks.
|
HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier has its own caching mechanism based on Reactor Flux replay() . Therefore, if it’s being used, you may want to skip wrapping that supplier with CachingServiceInstanceListSupplier .
|
29.6. Same instance preference for LoadBalancer
You can set up the LoadBalancer in such a way that it prefers the instance that was previously selected, if that instance is available.
For that, you need to use SameInstancePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier
. You can configure it either by setting the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.configurations
to same-instance-preference
or by providing your own ServiceInstanceListSupplier
bean — for example:
public class CustomLoadBalancerConfiguration {
@Bean
public ServiceInstanceListSupplier discoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier(
ConfigurableApplicationContext context) {
return ServiceInstanceListSupplier.builder()
.withDiscoveryClient()
.withSameInstancePreference()
.build(context);
}
}
This is also a replacement for Zookeeper StickyRule .
|
29.7. Request-based Sticky Session for LoadBalancer
You can set up the LoadBalancer in such a way that it prefers the instance with instanceId
provided in a request cookie. We currently support this if the request is being passed to the LoadBalancer through either ClientRequestContext
or ServerHttpRequestContext
, which are used by the SC LoadBalancer exchange filter functions and filters.
For that, you need to use the RequestBasedStickySessionServiceInstanceListSupplier
. You can configure it either by setting the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.configurations
to request-based-sticky-session
or by providing your own ServiceInstanceListSupplier
bean — for example:
public class CustomLoadBalancerConfiguration {
@Bean
public ServiceInstanceListSupplier discoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier(
ConfigurableApplicationContext context) {
return ServiceInstanceListSupplier.builder()
.withDiscoveryClient()
.withRequestBasedStickySession()
.build(context);
}
}
For that functionality, it is useful to have the selected service instance (which can be different from the one in the original request cookie if that one is not available) to be updated before sending the request forward. To do that, set the value of spring.cloud.loadbalancer.sticky-session.add-service-instance-cookie
to true
.
By default, the name of the cookie is sc-lb-instance-id
. You can modify it by changing the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.instance-id-cookie-name
property.
This feature is currently supported for WebClient-backed load-balancing. |
29.8. Spring Cloud LoadBalancer Hints
Spring Cloud LoadBalancer lets you set String
hints that are passed to the LoadBalancer within the Request
object and that can later be used in ReactiveLoadBalancer
implementations that can handle them.
You can set a default hint for all services by setting the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.hint.default
property. You can also set a specific value
for any given service by setting the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.hint.[SERVICE_ID]
property, substituting [SERVICE_ID]
with the correct ID of your service. If the hint is not set by the user, default
is used.
29.9. Hint-Based Load-Balancing
We also provide a HintBasedServiceInstanceListSupplier
, which is a ServiceInstanceListSupplier
implementation for hint-based instance selection.
HintBasedServiceInstanceListSupplier
checks for a hint request header (the default header-name is X-SC-LB-Hint
, but you can modify it by changing the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.hint-header-name
property) and, if it finds a hint request header, uses the hint value passed in the header to filter service instances.
If no hint header has been added, HintBasedServiceInstanceListSupplier
uses hint values from properties to filter service instances.
If no hint is set, either by the header or by properties, all service instances provided by the delegate are returned.
While filtering, HintBasedServiceInstanceListSupplier
looks for service instances that have a matching value set under the hint
key in their metadataMap
. If no matching instances are found, all instances provided by the delegate are returned.
You could use the following sample configuration to set it up:
public class CustomLoadBalancerConfiguration {
@Bean
public ServiceInstanceListSupplier discoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier(
ConfigurableApplicationContext context) {
return ServiceInstanceListSupplier.builder()
.withDiscoveryClient()
.withHints()
.withCaching()
.build(context);
}
}
29.10. Transform the load-balanced HTTP request
You can use the selected ServiceInstance
to transform the load-balanced HTTP Request.
For RestTemplate
, you need to implement and define LoadBalancerRequestTransformer
as follows:
@Bean
public LoadBalancerRequestTransformer transformer() {
return new LoadBalancerRequestTransformer() {
@Override
public HttpRequest transformRequest(HttpRequest request, ServiceInstance instance) {
return new HttpRequestWrapper(request) {
@Override
public HttpHeaders getHeaders() {
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.putAll(super.getHeaders());
headers.add("X-InstanceId", instance.getInstanceId());
return headers;
}
};
}
};
}
For WebClient
, you need to implement and define LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer
as follows:
@Bean
public LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer transformer() {
return new LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer() {
@Override
public ClientRequest transformRequest(ClientRequest request, ServiceInstance instance) {
return ClientRequest.from(request)
.header("X-InstanceId", instance.getInstanceId())
.build();
}
};
}
If multiple transformers are defined, they are applied in the order in which Beans are defined.
Alternatively, you can use LoadBalancerRequestTransformer.DEFAULT_ORDER
or LoadBalancerClientRequestTransformer.DEFAULT_ORDER
to specify the order.
29.11. Spring Cloud LoadBalancer Starter
We also provide a starter that allows you to easily add Spring Cloud LoadBalancer in a Spring Boot app.
In order to use it, just add org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-loadbalancer
to your Spring Cloud dependencies in your build file.
Spring Cloud LoadBalancer starter includes Spring Boot Caching and Evictor. |
29.12. Passing Your Own Spring Cloud LoadBalancer Configuration
You can also use the @LoadBalancerClient
annotation to pass your own load-balancer client configuration, passing the name of the load-balancer client and the configuration class, as follows:
@Configuration
@LoadBalancerClient(value = "stores", configuration = CustomLoadBalancerConfiguration.class)
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public WebClient.Builder loadBalancedWebClientBuilder() {
return WebClient.builder();
}
}
- TIP
-
In order to make working on your own LoadBalancer configuration easier, we have added a
builder()
method to theServiceInstanceListSupplier
class. - TIP
-
You can also use our alternative predefined configurations in place of the default ones by setting the value of
spring.cloud.loadbalancer.configurations
property tozone-preference
to useZonePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier
with caching or tohealth-check
to useHealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier
with caching.
You can use this feature to instantiate different implementations of ServiceInstanceListSupplier
or ReactorLoadBalancer
, either written by you, or provided by us as alternatives (for example ZonePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier
) to override the default setup.
You can see an example of a custom configuration here.
The annotation value arguments (stores in the example above) specifies the service id of the service that we should send the requests to with the given custom configuration.
|
You can also pass multiple configurations (for more than one load-balancer client) through the @LoadBalancerClients
annotation, as the following example shows:
@Configuration
@LoadBalancerClients({@LoadBalancerClient(value = "stores", configuration = StoresLoadBalancerClientConfiguration.class), @LoadBalancerClient(value = "customers", configuration = CustomersLoadBalancerClientConfiguration.class)})
public class MyConfiguration {
@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public WebClient.Builder loadBalancedWebClientBuilder() {
return WebClient.builder();
}
}
The classes you pass as @LoadBalancerClient or @LoadBalancerClients configuration arguments should either not be annotated with @Configuration or be outside component scan scope.
|
29.13. Spring Cloud LoadBalancer Lifecycle
One type of bean that it may be useful to register using Custom LoadBalancer configuration is LoadBalancerLifecycle
.
The LoadBalancerLifecycle
beans provide callback methods, named onStart(Request<RC> request)
, onStartRequest(Request<RC> request, Response<T> lbResponse)
and onComplete(CompletionContext<RES, T, RC> completionContext)
, that you should implement to specify what actions should take place before and after load-balancing.
onStart(Request<RC> request)
takes a Request
object as a parameter. It contains data that is used to select an appropriate instance, including the downstream client request and hint. onStartRequest
also takes the Request
object and, additionally, the Response<T>
object as parameters. On the other hand, a CompletionContext
object is provided to the onComplete(CompletionContext<RES, T, RC> completionContext)
method. It contains the LoadBalancer Response
, including the selected service instance, the Status
of the request executed against that service instance and (if available) the response returned to the downstream client, and (if an exception has occurred) the corresponding Throwable
.
The supports(Class requestContextClass, Class responseClass,
Class serverTypeClass)
method can be used to determine whether the processor in question handles objects of provided types. If not overridden by the user, it returns true
.
In the preceding method calls, RC means RequestContext type, RES means client response type, and T means returned server type.
|
29.14. Spring Cloud LoadBalancer Statistics
We provide a LoadBalancerLifecycle
bean called MicrometerStatsLoadBalancerLifecycle
, which uses Micrometer to provide statistics for load-balanced calls.
In order to get this bean added to your application context,
set the value of the spring.cloud.loadbalancer.stats.micrometer.enabled
to true
and have a MeterRegistry
available (for example, by adding Spring Boot Actuator to your project).
MicrometerStatsLoadBalancerLifecycle
registers the following meters in MeterRegistry
:
-
loadbalancer.requests.active
: A gauge that allows you to monitor the number of currently active requests for any service instance (service instance data available via tags); -
loadbalancer.requests.success
: A timer that measures the time of execution of any load-balanced requests that have ended in passing a response on to the underlying client; -
loadbalancer.requests.failed
: A timer that measures the time of execution of any load-balanced requests that have ended with an exception; -
loadbalancer.requests.discard
: A counter that measures the number of discarded load-balanced requests, i.e. requests where a service instance to run the request on has not been retrieved by the LoadBalancer.
Additional information regarding the service instances, request data, and response data is added to metrics via tags whenever available.
For some implementations, such as BlockingLoadBalancerClient , request and response data might not be available, as we establish generic types from arguments and might not be able to determine the types and read the data.
|
The meters are registered in the registry when at least one record is added for a given meter. |
You can further configure the behavior of those metrics (for example, add publishing percentiles and histograms) by adding MeterFilters .
|
30. Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker
30.1. Introduction
Spring Cloud Circuit breaker provides an abstraction across different circuit breaker implementations. It provides a consistent API to use in your applications, letting you, the developer, choose the circuit breaker implementation that best fits your needs for your application.
30.1.1. Supported Implementations
Spring Cloud supports the following circuit-breaker implementations:
30.2. Core Concepts
To create a circuit breaker in your code, you can use the CircuitBreakerFactory
API. When you include a Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker starter on your classpath, a bean that implements this API is automatically created for you.
The following example shows a simple example of how to use this API:
@Service
public static class DemoControllerService {
private RestTemplate rest;
private CircuitBreakerFactory cbFactory;
public DemoControllerService(RestTemplate rest, CircuitBreakerFactory cbFactory) {
this.rest = rest;
this.cbFactory = cbFactory;
}
public String slow() {
return cbFactory.create("slow").run(() -> rest.getForObject("/slow", String.class), throwable -> "fallback");
}
}
The CircuitBreakerFactory.create
API creates an instance of a class called CircuitBreaker
.
The run
method takes a Supplier
and a Function
.
The Supplier
is the code that you are going to wrap in a circuit breaker.
The Function
is the fallback that is run if the circuit breaker is tripped.
The function is passed the Throwable
that caused the fallback to be triggered.
You can optionally exclude the fallback if you do not want to provide one.
30.2.1. Circuit Breakers In Reactive Code
If Project Reactor is on the class path, you can also use ReactiveCircuitBreakerFactory
for your reactive code.
The following example shows how to do so:
@Service
public static class DemoControllerService {
private ReactiveCircuitBreakerFactory cbFactory;
private WebClient webClient;
public DemoControllerService(WebClient webClient, ReactiveCircuitBreakerFactory cbFactory) {
this.webClient = webClient;
this.cbFactory = cbFactory;
}
public Mono<String> slow() {
return webClient.get().uri("/slow").retrieve().bodyToMono(String.class).transform(
it -> cbFactory.create("slow").run(it, throwable -> return Mono.just("fallback")));
}
}
The ReactiveCircuitBreakerFactory.create
API creates an instance of a class called ReactiveCircuitBreaker
.
The run
method takes a Mono
or a Flux
and wraps it in a circuit breaker.
You can optionally profile a fallback Function
, which will be called if the circuit breaker is tripped and is passed the Throwable
that caused the failure.
30.3. Configuration
You can configure your circuit breakers by creating beans of type Customizer
.
The Customizer
interface has a single method (called customize
) that takes the Object
to customize.
For detailed information on how to customize a given implementation see the following documentation:
Some CircuitBreaker
implementations such as Resilience4JCircuitBreaker
call customize
method every time CircuitBreaker#run
is called.
It can be inefficient. In that case, you can use CircuitBreaker#once
method. It is useful where calling customize
many times doesn’t make sense,
for example, in case of consuming Resilience4j’s events.
The following example shows the way for each io.github.resilience4j.circuitbreaker.CircuitBreaker
to consume events.
Customizer.once(circuitBreaker -> {
circuitBreaker.getEventPublisher()
.onStateTransition(event -> log.info("{}: {}", event.getCircuitBreakerName(), event.getStateTransition()));
}, CircuitBreaker::getName)
31. CachedRandomPropertySource
Spring Cloud Context provides a PropertySource
that caches random values based on a key. Outside of the caching
functionality it works the same as Spring Boot’s RandomValuePropertySource
.
This random value might be useful in the case where you want a random value that is consistent even after the Spring Application
context restarts. The property value takes the form of cachedrandom.[yourkey].[type]
where yourkey
is the key in the cache. The type
value can
be any type supported by Spring Boot’s RandomValuePropertySource
.
myrandom=${cachedrandom.appname.value}
32. Security
32.1. Single Sign On
All of the OAuth2 SSO and resource server features moved to Spring Boot in version 1.3. You can find documentation in the Spring Boot user guide. |
32.1.1. Client Token Relay
If your app is a user facing OAuth2 client (i.e. has declared
@EnableOAuth2Sso
or @EnableOAuth2Client
) then it has an
OAuth2ClientContext
in request scope from Spring Boot. You can
create your own OAuth2RestTemplate
from this context and an
autowired OAuth2ProtectedResourceDetails
, and then the context will
always forward the access token downstream, also refreshing the access
token automatically if it expires. (These are features of Spring
Security and Spring Boot.)
32.1.2. Resource Server Token Relay
If your app has @EnableResourceServer
you might want to relay the
incoming token downstream to other services. If you use a
RestTemplate
to contact the downstream services then this is just a
matter of how to create the template with the right context.
If your service uses UserInfoTokenServices
to authenticate incoming
tokens (i.e. it is using the security.oauth2.user-info-uri
configuration), then you can simply create an OAuth2RestTemplate
using an autowired OAuth2ClientContext
(it will be populated by the
authentication process before it hits the backend code). Equivalently
(with Spring Boot 1.4), you could inject a
UserInfoRestTemplateFactory
and grab its OAuth2RestTemplate
in
your configuration. For example:
@Bean
public OAuth2RestTemplate restTemplate(UserInfoRestTemplateFactory factory) {
return factory.getUserInfoRestTemplate();
}
This rest template will then have the same OAuth2ClientContext
(request-scoped) that is used by the authentication filter, so you can
use it to send requests with the same access token.
If your app is not using UserInfoTokenServices
but is still a client
(i.e. it declares @EnableOAuth2Client
or @EnableOAuth2Sso
), then
with Spring Security Cloud any OAuth2RestOperations
that the user
creates from an @Autowired
OAuth2Context
will also forward
tokens. This feature is implemented by default as an MVC handler
interceptor, so it only works in Spring MVC. If you are not using MVC
you could use a custom filter or AOP interceptor wrapping an
AccessTokenContextRelay
to provide the same feature.
Here’s a basic example showing the use of an autowired rest template created elsewhere ("foo.com" is a Resource Server accepting the same tokens as the surrounding app):
@Autowired
private OAuth2RestOperations restTemplate;
@RequestMapping("/relay")
public String relay() {
ResponseEntity<String> response =
restTemplate.getForEntity("https://foo.com/bar", String.class);
return "Success! (" + response.getBody() + ")";
}
If you don’t want to forward tokens (and that is a valid
choice, since you might want to act as yourself, rather than the
client that sent you the token), then you only need to create your own
OAuth2Context
instead of autowiring the default one.
Feign clients will also pick up an interceptor that uses the
OAuth2ClientContext
if it is available, so they should also do a
token relay anywhere where a RestTemplate
would.
33. Configuration Properties
To see the list of all Spring Cloud Commons related configuration properties please check the Appendix page.
Spring Cloud Config
2021.0.0-M3
Spring Cloud Config provides server-side and client-side support for externalized configuration in a distributed system. With the Config Server, you have a central place to manage external properties for applications across all environments.
The concepts on both client and server map identically to the Spring Environment
and PropertySource
abstractions, so they fit very well with Spring applications but can be used with any application running in any language.
As an application moves through the deployment pipeline from dev to test and into production, you can manage the configuration between those environments and be certain that applications have everything they need to run when they migrate.
The default implementation of the server storage backend uses git, so it easily supports labelled versions of configuration environments as well as being accessible to a wide range of tooling for managing the content.
It is easy to add alternative implementations and plug them in with Spring configuration.
34. Quick Start
This quick start walks through using both the server and the client of Spring Cloud Config Server.
First, start the server, as follows:
$ cd spring-cloud-config-server $ ../mvnw spring-boot:run
The server is a Spring Boot application, so you can run it from your IDE if you prefer to do so (the main class is ConfigServerApplication
).
Next try out a client, as follows:
$ curl localhost:8888/foo/development { "name": "foo", "profiles": [ "development" ] .... "propertySources": [ { "name": "https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo/foo-development.properties", "source": { "bar": "spam", "foo": "from foo development" } }, { "name": "https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo/foo.properties", "source": { "foo": "from foo props", "democonfigclient.message": "hello spring io" } }, ....
The default strategy for locating property sources is to clone a git repository (at spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri
) and use it to initialize a mini SpringApplication
.
The mini-application’s Environment
is used to enumerate property sources and publish them at a JSON endpoint.
The HTTP service has resources in the following form:
/{application}/{profile}[/{label}] /{application}-{profile}.yml /{label}/{application}-{profile}.yml /{application}-{profile}.properties /{label}/{application}-{profile}.properties
For example:
curl localhost:8888/foo/development curl localhost:8888/foo/development/master curl localhost:8888/foo/development,db/master curl localhost:8888/foo-development.yml curl localhost:8888/foo-db.properties curl localhost:8888/master/foo-db.properties
where application
is injected as the spring.config.name
in the SpringApplication
(what is normally application
in a regular Spring Boot app), profile
is an active profile (or comma-separated list of properties), and label
is an optional git label (defaults to master
.)
Spring Cloud Config Server pulls configuration for remote clients from various sources. The following example gets configuration from a git repository (which must be provided), as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
Other sources are any JDBC compatible database, Subversion, Hashicorp Vault, Credhub and local filesystems.
34.1. Client Side Usage
To use these features in an application, you can build it as a Spring Boot application that depends on spring-cloud-config-client (for an example, see the test cases for the config-client or the sample application).
The most convenient way to add the dependency is with a Spring Boot starter org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-config
.
There is also a parent pom and BOM (spring-cloud-starter-parent
) for Maven users and a Spring IO version management properties file for Gradle and Spring CLI users. The following example shows a typical Maven configuration:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>{spring-boot-docs-version}</version>
<relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>{spring-cloud-version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<!-- repositories also needed for snapshots and milestones -->
Now you can create a standard Spring Boot application, such as the following HTTP server:
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application { @RequestMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello World!"; } public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } }
When this HTTP server runs, it picks up the external configuration from the default local config server (if it is running) on port 8888.
To modify the startup behavior, you can change the location of the config server by using application.properties
as shown in the following example:
spring.config.import=optional:configserver:http://myconfigserver.com
By default, if no application name is set, application
will be used. To modify the name, the following property can be added to the application.properties
file:
spring.application.name: myapp
When setting the property ${spring.application.name} do not prefix your app name with the reserved word application- to prevent issues resolving the correct property source.
|
The Config Server properties show up in the /env
endpoint as a high-priority property source, as shown in the following example.
$ curl localhost:8080/env { "activeProfiles": [], { "name": "servletContextInitParams", "properties": {} }, { "name": "configserver:https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo/foo.properties", "properties": { "foo": { "value": "bar", "origin": "Config Server https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo/foo.properties:2:12" } } }, ... }
A property source called configserver:<URL of remote repository>/<file name>
contains the foo
property with a value of bar
.
The URL in the property source name is the git repository, not the config server URL. |
If you use Spring Cloud Config Client, you need to set the spring.config.import property in order to bind to Config Server. You can read more about it in the Spring Cloud Config Reference Guide.
|
35. Spring Cloud Config Server
Spring Cloud Config Server provides an HTTP resource-based API for external configuration (name-value pairs or equivalent YAML content).
The server is embeddable in a Spring Boot application, by using the @EnableConfigServer
annotation.
Consequently, the following application is a config server:
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableConfigServer
public class ConfigServer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(ConfigServer.class, args);
}
}
Like all Spring Boot applications, it runs on port 8080 by default, but you can switch it to the more conventional port 8888 in various ways.
The easiest, which also sets a default configuration repository, is by launching it with spring.config.name=configserver
(there is a configserver.yml
in the Config Server jar).
Another is to use your own application.properties
, as shown in the following example:
server.port: 8888
spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri: file://${user.home}/config-repo
where ${user.home}/config-repo
is a git repository containing YAML and properties files.
On Windows, you need an extra "/" in the file URL if it is absolute with a drive prefix (for example,/${user.home}/config-repo ).
|
The following listing shows a recipe for creating the git repository in the preceding example: $ cd $HOME $ mkdir config-repo $ cd config-repo $ git init . $ echo info.foo: bar > application.properties $ git add -A . $ git commit -m "Add application.properties" |
Using the local filesystem for your git repository is intended for testing only. You should use a server to host your configuration repositories in production. |
The initial clone of your configuration repository can be quick and efficient if you keep only text files in it. If you store binary files, especially large ones, you may experience delays on the first request for configuration or encounter out of memory errors in the server. |
35.1. Environment Repository
Where should you store the configuration data for the Config Server?
The strategy that governs this behaviour is the EnvironmentRepository
, serving Environment
objects.
This Environment
is a shallow copy of the domain from the Spring Environment
(including propertySources
as the main feature).
The Environment
resources are parametrized by three variables:
-
{application}
, which maps tospring.application.name
on the client side. -
{profile}
, which maps tospring.profiles.active
on the client (comma-separated list). -
{label}
, which is a server side feature labelling a "versioned" set of config files.
Repository implementations generally behave like a Spring Boot application, loading configuration files from a spring.config.name
equal to the {application}
parameter, and spring.profiles.active
equal to the {profiles}
parameter.
Precedence rules for profiles are also the same as in a regular Spring Boot application: Active profiles take precedence over defaults, and, if there are multiple profiles, the last one wins (similar to adding entries to a Map
).
The following sample client application has this bootstrap configuration:
spring:
application:
name: foo
profiles:
active: dev,mysql
(As usual with a Spring Boot application, these properties could also be set by environment variables or command line arguments).
If the repository is file-based, the server creates an
Environment
from application.yml
(shared between all clients) and
foo.yml
(with foo.yml
taking precedence).
If the YAML files have documents inside them that point to Spring profiles, those are applied with higher precedence (in order of the profiles listed).
If there are profile-specific YAML (or properties) files, these are also applied with higher precedence than the defaults.
Higher precedence translates to a PropertySource
listed earlier in the Environment
.
(These same rules apply in a standalone Spring Boot application.)
You can set spring.cloud.config.server.accept-empty to false so that Server would return a HTTP 404 status, if the application is not found.By default, this flag is set to true.
35.1.1. Git Backend
The default implementation of EnvironmentRepository
uses a Git backend, which is very convenient for managing upgrades and physical environments and for auditing changes.
To change the location of the repository, you can set the spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri
configuration property in the Config Server (for example in application.yml
).
If you set it with a file:
prefix, it should work from a local repository so that you can get started quickly and easily without a server. However, in that case, the server operates directly on the local repository without cloning it (it does not matter if it is not bare because the Config Server never makes changes to the "remote" repository).
To scale the Config Server up and make it highly available, you need to have all instances of the server pointing to the same repository, so only a shared file system would work.
Even in that case, it is better to use the ssh:
protocol for a shared filesystem repository, so that the server can clone it and use a local working copy as a cache.
This repository implementation maps the {label}
parameter of the HTTP resource to a git label (commit id, branch name, or tag).
If the git branch or tag name contains a slash (/
), then the label in the HTTP URL should instead be specified with the special string (_)
(to avoid ambiguity with other URL paths).
For example, if the label is foo/bar
, replacing the slash would result in the following label: foo(_)bar
.
The inclusion of the special string (_)
can also be applied to the {application}
parameter.
If you use a command-line client such as curl, be careful with the brackets in the URL — you should escape them from the shell with single quotes ('').
Skipping SSL Certificate Validation
The configuration server’s validation of the Git server’s SSL certificate can be disabled by setting the git.skipSslValidation
property to true
(default is false
).
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://example.com/my/repo
skipSslValidation: true
Setting HTTP Connection Timeout
You can configure the time, in seconds, that the configuration server will wait to acquire an HTTP connection. Use the git.timeout
property.
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://example.com/my/repo
timeout: 4
Placeholders in Git URI
Spring Cloud Config Server supports a git repository URL with placeholders for the {application}
and {profile}
(and {label}
if you need it, but remember that the label is applied as a git label anyway).
So you can support a “one repository per application” policy by using a structure similar to the following:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/myorg/{application}
You can also support a “one repository per profile” policy by using a similar pattern but with
{profile}
.
Additionally, using the special string "(_)" within your {application}
parameters can enable support for multiple
organizations, as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/{application}
where {application}
is provided at request time in the following format: organization(_)application
.
Pattern Matching and Multiple Repositories
Spring Cloud Config also includes support for more complex requirements with pattern
matching on the application and profile name.
The pattern format is a comma-separated list of {application}/{profile}
names with wildcards (note that a pattern beginning with a wildcard may need to be quoted), as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
repos:
simple: https://github.com/simple/config-repo
special:
pattern: special*/dev*,*special*/dev*
uri: https://github.com/special/config-repo
local:
pattern: local*
uri: file:/home/configsvc/config-repo
If {application}/{profile}
does not match any of the patterns, it uses the default URI defined under spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri
.
In the above example, for the “simple” repository, the pattern is simple/*
(it only matches one application named simple
in all profiles). The “local” repository matches all application names beginning with local
in all profiles (the /*
suffix is added automatically to any pattern that does not have a profile matcher).
The “one-liner” short cut used in the “simple” example can be used only if the only property to be set is the URI. If you need to set anything else (credentials, pattern, and so on) you need to use the full form. |
The pattern
property in the repo is actually an array, so you can use a YAML array (or [0]
, [1]
, etc. suffixes in properties files) to bind to multiple patterns.
You may need to do so if you are going to run apps with multiple profiles, as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
repos:
development:
pattern:
- '*/development'
- '*/staging'
uri: https://github.com/development/config-repo
staging:
pattern:
- '*/qa'
- '*/production'
uri: https://github.com/staging/config-repo
Spring Cloud guesses that a pattern containing a profile that does not end in * implies that you actually want to match a list of profiles starting with this pattern (so */staging is a shortcut for ["*/staging", "*/staging,*"] , and so on).
This is common where, for instance, you need to run applications in the “development” profile locally but also the “cloud” profile remotely.
|
Every repository can also optionally store config files in sub-directories, and patterns to search for those directories can be specified as search-paths
.
The following example shows a config file at the top level:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
search-paths:
- foo
- bar*
In the preceding example, the server searches for config files in the top level and in the foo/
sub-directory and also any sub-directory whose name begins with bar
.
By default, the server clones remote repositories when configuration is first requested. The server can be configured to clone the repositories at startup, as shown in the following top-level example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://git/common/config-repo.git
repos:
team-a:
pattern: team-a-*
cloneOnStart: true
uri: https://git/team-a/config-repo.git
team-b:
pattern: team-b-*
cloneOnStart: false
uri: https://git/team-b/config-repo.git
team-c:
pattern: team-c-*
uri: https://git/team-a/config-repo.git
In the preceding example, the server clones team-a’s config-repo on startup, before it accepts any requests. All other repositories are not cloned until configuration from the repository is requested.
Setting a repository to be cloned when the Config Server starts up can help to identify a misconfigured configuration source (such as an invalid repository URI) quickly, while the Config Server is starting up.
With cloneOnStart not enabled for a configuration source, the Config Server may start successfully with a misconfigured or invalid configuration source and not detect an error until an application requests configuration from that configuration source.
|
Authentication
To use HTTP basic authentication on the remote repository, add the username
and password
properties separately (not in the URL), as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
username: trolley
password: strongpassword
If you do not use HTTPS and user credentials, SSH should also work out of the box when you store keys in the default directories (~/.ssh
) and the URI points to an SSH location, such as git@github.com:configuration/cloud-configuration
.
It is important that an entry for the Git server be present in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts
file and that it is in ssh-rsa
format.
Other formats (such as ecdsa-sha2-nistp256
) are not supported.
To avoid surprises, you should ensure that only one entry is present in the known_hosts
file for the Git server and that it matches the URL you provided to the config server.
If you use a hostname in the URL, you want to have exactly that (not the IP) in the known_hosts
file.
The repository is accessed by using JGit, so any documentation you find on that should be applicable.
HTTPS proxy settings can be set in ~/.git/config
or (in the same way as for any other JVM process) with
system properties (-Dhttps.proxyHost
and -Dhttps.proxyPort
).
If you do not know where your ~/.git directory is, use git config --global to manipulate the settings (for example, git config --global http.sslVerify false ).
|
JGit requires RSA keys in PEM format. Below is an example ssh-keygen (from openssh) command that will generate a key in the corect format:
ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/config_server_deploy_key.rsa
Warning: When working with SSH keys, the expected ssh private-key must begin with
. If the key starts with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
then the RSA key will not load when spring-cloud-config server is started. The error looks like:-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
- Error in object 'spring.cloud.config.server.git': codes [PrivateKeyIsValid.spring.cloud.config.server.git,PrivateKeyIsValid]; arguments [org.springframework.context.support.DefaultMessageSourceResolvable: codes [spring.cloud.config.server.git.,]; arguments []; default message []]; default message [Property 'spring.cloud.config.server.git.privateKey' is not a valid private key]
To correct the above error the RSA key must be converted to PEM format. An example using openssh is provided above for generating a new key in the appropriate format.
Authentication with AWS CodeCommit
Spring Cloud Config Server also supports AWS CodeCommit authentication. AWS CodeCommit uses an authentication helper when using Git from the command line. This helper is not used with the JGit library, so a JGit CredentialProvider for AWS CodeCommit is created if the Git URI matches the AWS CodeCommit pattern. AWS CodeCommit URIs follow this pattern:
https//git-codecommit.${AWS_REGION}.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/${repo}.
If you provide a username and password with an AWS CodeCommit URI, they must be the AWS accessKeyId and secretAccessKey that provide access to the repository. If you do not specify a username and password, the accessKeyId and secretAccessKey are retrieved by using the AWS Default Credential Provider Chain.
If your Git URI matches the CodeCommit URI pattern (shown earlier), you must provide valid AWS credentials in the username and password or in one of the locations supported by the default credential provider chain. AWS EC2 instances may use IAM Roles for EC2 Instances.
The aws-java-sdk-core jar is an optional dependency.
If the aws-java-sdk-core jar is not on your classpath, the AWS Code Commit credential provider is not created, regardless of the git server URI.
|
Authentication with Google Cloud Source
Spring Cloud Config Server also supports authenticating against Google Cloud Source repositories.
If your Git URI uses the http
or https
protocol and the domain name is source.developers.google.com
, the Google Cloud Source credentials provider will be used. A Google Cloud Source repository URI has the format source.developers.google.com/p/${GCP_PROJECT}/r/${REPO}
. To obtain the URI for your repository, click on "Clone" in the Google Cloud Source UI, and select "Manually generated credentials". Do not generate any credentials, simply copy the displayed URI.
The Google Cloud Source credentials provider will use Google Cloud Platform application default credentials. See Google Cloud SDK documentation on how to create application default credentials for a system. This approach will work for user accounts in dev environments and for service accounts in production environments.
com.google.auth:google-auth-library-oauth2-http is an optional dependency.
If the google-auth-library-oauth2-http jar is not on your classpath, the Google Cloud Source credential provider is not created, regardless of the git server URI.
|
Git SSH configuration using properties
By default, the JGit library used by Spring Cloud Config Server uses SSH configuration files such as ~/.ssh/known_hosts
and /etc/ssh/ssh_config
when connecting to Git repositories by using an SSH URI.
In cloud environments such as Cloud Foundry, the local filesystem may be ephemeral or not easily accessible.
For those cases, SSH configuration can be set by using Java properties.
In order to activate property-based SSH configuration, the spring.cloud.config.server.git.ignoreLocalSshSettings
property must be set to true
, as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: git@gitserver.com:team/repo1.git
ignoreLocalSshSettings: true
hostKey: someHostKey
hostKeyAlgorithm: ssh-rsa
privateKey: |

Placeholders in Git Search Paths
Spring Cloud Config Server also supports a search path with placeholders for the {application}
and {profile}
(and {label}
if
you need it), as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
search-paths: '{application}'
The preceding listing causes a search of the repository for files in the same name as the directory (as well as the top level). Wildcards are also valid in a search path with placeholders (any matching directory is included in the search).
Force pull in Git Repositories
As mentioned earlier, Spring Cloud Config Server makes a clone of the remote git repository in case the local copy gets dirty (for example, folder content changes by an OS process) such that Spring Cloud Config Server cannot update the local copy from remote repository.
To solve this issue, there is a force-pull
property that makes Spring Cloud Config Server force pull from the remote repository if the local copy is dirty, as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
force-pull: true
If you have a multiple-repositories configuration, you can configure the force-pull
property per repository, as shown in the following example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://git/common/config-repo.git
force-pull: true
repos:
team-a:
pattern: team-a-*
uri: https://git/team-a/config-repo.git
force-pull: true
team-b:
pattern: team-b-*
uri: https://git/team-b/config-repo.git
force-pull: true
team-c:
pattern: team-c-*
uri: https://git/team-a/config-repo.git
The default value for force-pull property is false .
|
Deleting untracked branches in Git Repositories
As Spring Cloud Config Server has a clone of the remote git repository
after check-outing branch to local repo (e.g fetching properties by label) it will keep this branch
forever or till the next server restart (which creates new local repo).
So there could be a case when remote branch is deleted but local copy of it is still available for fetching.
And if Spring Cloud Config Server client service starts with --spring.cloud.config.label=deletedRemoteBranch,master
it will fetch properties from deletedRemoteBranch
local branch, but not from master
.
In order to keep local repository branches clean and up to remote - deleteUntrackedBranches
property could be set.
It will make Spring Cloud Config Server force delete untracked branches from local repository.
Example:
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
deleteUntrackedBranches: true
The default value for deleteUntrackedBranches property is false .
|
Git Refresh Rate
You can control how often the config server will fetch updated configuration data
from your Git backend by using spring.cloud.config.server.git.refreshRate
. The
value of this property is specified in seconds. By default the value is 0, meaning
the config server will fetch updated configuration from the Git repo every time it
is requested.
35.1.2. Version Control Backend Filesystem Use
With VCS-based backends (git, svn), files are checked out or cloned to the local filesystem.
By default, they are put in the system temporary directory with a prefix of config-repo- .
On linux, for example, it could be /tmp/config-repo-<randomid> .
Some operating systems routinely clean out temporary directories.
This can lead to unexpected behavior, such as missing properties.
To avoid this problem, change the directory that Config Server uses by setting spring.cloud.config.server.git.basedir or spring.cloud.config.server.svn.basedir to a directory that does not reside in the system temp structure.
|
35.1.3. File System Backend
There is also a “native” profile in the Config Server that does not use Git but loads the config files from the local classpath or file system (any static URL you want to point to with spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations
).
To use the native profile, launch the Config Server with spring.profiles.active=native
.
Remember to use the file: prefix for file resources (the default without a prefix is usually the classpath).
As with any Spring Boot configuration, you can embed ${} -style environment placeholders, but remember that absolute paths in Windows require an extra / (for example, /${user.home}/config-repo ).
|
The default value of the searchLocations is identical to a local Spring Boot application (that is, [classpath:/, classpath:/config,
file:./, file:./config] ).
This does not expose the application.properties from the server to all clients, because any property sources present in the server are removed before being sent to the client.
|
A filesystem backend is great for getting started quickly and for testing. To use it in production, you need to be sure that the file system is reliable and shared across all instances of the Config Server. |
The search locations can contain placeholders for {application}
, {profile}
, and {label}
.
In this way, you can segregate the directories in the path and choose a strategy that makes sense for you (such as subdirectory per application or subdirectory per profile).
If you do not use placeholders in the search locations, this repository also appends the {label}
parameter of the HTTP resource to a suffix on the search path, so properties files are loaded from each search location and a subdirectory with the same name as the label (the labelled properties take precedence in the Spring Environment).
Thus, the default behaviour with no placeholders is the same as adding a search location ending with /{label}/
.
For example, file:/tmp/config
is the same as file:/tmp/config,file:/tmp/config/{label}
.
This behavior can be disabled by setting spring.cloud.config.server.native.addLabelLocations=false
.
35.1.4. Vault Backend
Spring Cloud Config Server also supports Vault as a backend.
For more information on Vault, see the Vault quick start guide.
To enable the config server to use a Vault backend, you can run your config server with the vault
profile.
For example, in your config server’s application.properties
, you can add spring.profiles.active=vault
.
By default, the config server assumes that your Vault server runs at 127.0.0.1:8200
.
It also assumes that the name of backend is secret
and the key is application
.
All of these defaults can be configured in your config server’s application.properties
.
The following table describes configurable Vault properties:
Name | Default Value |
---|---|
host |
127.0.0.1 |
port |
8200 |
scheme |
http |
backend |
secret |
defaultKey |
application |
profileSeparator |
, |
kvVersion |
1 |
skipSslValidation |
false |
timeout |
5 |
namespace |
null |
All of the properties in the preceding table must be prefixed with spring.cloud.config.server.vault or placed in the correct Vault section of a composite configuration.
|
All configurable properties can be found in org.springframework.cloud.config.server.environment.VaultEnvironmentProperties
.
Vault 0.10.0 introduced a versioned key-value backend (k/v backend version 2) that exposes a different API than earlier versions, it now requires a data/ between the mount path and the actual context path and wraps secrets in a data object. Setting spring.cloud.config.server.vault.kv-version=2 will take this into account.
|
Optionally, there is support for the Vault Enterprise X-Vault-Namespace
header. To have it sent to Vault set the namespace
property.
With your config server running, you can make HTTP requests to the server to retrieve values from the Vault backend. To do so, you need a token for your Vault server.
First, place some data in you Vault, as shown in the following example:
$ vault kv put secret/application foo=bar baz=bam
$ vault kv put secret/myapp foo=myappsbar
Second, make an HTTP request to your config server to retrieve the values, as shown in the following example:
$ curl -X "GET" "http://localhost:8888/myapp/default" -H "X-Config-Token: yourtoken"
You should see a response similar to the following:
{
"name":"myapp",
"profiles":[
"default"
],
"label":null,
"version":null,
"state":null,
"propertySources":[
{
"name":"vault:myapp",
"source":{
"foo":"myappsbar"
}
},
{
"name":"vault:application",
"source":{
"baz":"bam",
"foo":"bar"
}
}
]
}
The default way for a client to provide the necessary authentication to let Config Server talk to Vault is to set the X-Config-Token header.
However, you can instead omit the header and configure the authentication in the server, by setting the same configuration properties as Spring Cloud Vault.
The property to set is spring.cloud.config.server.vault.authentication
.
It should be set to one of the supported authentication methods.
You may also need to set other properties specific to the authentication method you use, by using the same property names as documented for spring.cloud.vault
but instead using the spring.cloud.config.server.vault
prefix.
See the Spring Cloud Vault Reference Guide for more detail.
If you omit the X-Config-Token header and use a server property to set the authentication, the Config Server application needs an additional dependency on Spring Vault to enable the additional authentication options. See the Spring Vault Reference Guide for how to add that dependency. |
Multiple Properties Sources
When using Vault, you can provide your applications with multiple properties sources. For example, assume you have written data to the following paths in Vault:
secret/myApp,dev
secret/myApp
secret/application,dev
secret/application
Properties written to secret/application
are available to all applications using the Config Server.
An application with the name, myApp
, would have any properties written to secret/myApp
and secret/application
available to it.
When myApp
has the dev
profile enabled, properties written to all of the above paths would be available to it, with properties in the first path in the list taking priority over the others.
35.1.5. Accessing Backends Through a Proxy
The configuration server can access a Git or Vault backend through an HTTP or HTTPS proxy. This behavior is controlled for either Git or Vault by settings under proxy.http
and proxy.https
. These settings are per repository, so if you are using a composite environment repository you must configure proxy settings for each backend in the composite individually. If using a network which requires separate proxy servers for HTTP and HTTPS URLs, you can configure both the HTTP and the HTTPS proxy settings for a single backend.
The following table describes the proxy configuration properties for both HTTP and HTTPS proxies. All of these properties must be prefixed by proxy.http
or proxy.https
.
Property Name | Remarks |
---|---|
host |
The host of the proxy. |
port |
The port with which to access the proxy. |
nonProxyHosts |
Any hosts which the configuration server should access outside the proxy. If values are provided for both |
username |
The username with which to authenticate to the proxy. If values are provided for both |
password |
The password with which to authenticate to the proxy. If values are provided for both |
The following configuration uses an HTTPS proxy to access a Git repository.
spring:
profiles:
active: git
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo
proxy:
https:
host: my-proxy.host.io
password: myproxypassword
port: '3128'
username: myproxyusername
nonProxyHosts: example.com
35.1.6. Sharing Configuration With All Applications
Sharing configuration between all applications varies according to which approach you take, as described in the following topics:
File Based Repositories
With file-based (git, svn, and native) repositories, resources with file names in application*
(application.properties
, application.yml
, application-*.properties
, and so on) are shared between all client applications.
You can use resources with these file names to configure global defaults and have them be overridden by application-specific files as necessary.
The property overrides feature can also be used for setting global defaults, with placeholders applications allowed to override them locally.
With the “native” profile (a local file system backend) , you should use an explicit search location that is not part of the server’s own configuration.
Otherwise, the application* resources in the default search locations get removed because they are part of the server.
|
Vault Server
When using Vault as a backend, you can share configuration with all applications by placing configuration in secret/application
.
For example, if you run the following Vault command, all applications using the config server will have the properties foo
and baz
available to them:
$ vault write secret/application foo=bar baz=bam
CredHub Server
When using CredHub as a backend, you can share configuration with all applications by placing configuration in /application/
or by placing it in the default
profile for the application.
For example, if you run the following CredHub command, all applications using the config server will have the properties shared.color1
and shared.color2
available to them:
credhub set --name "/application/profile/master/shared" --type=json
value: {"shared.color1": "blue", "shared.color": "red"}
credhub set --name "/my-app/default/master/more-shared" --type=json
value: {"shared.word1": "hello", "shared.word2": "world"}
35.1.7. AWS Secrets Manager
When using AWS Secrets Manager as a backend, you can share configuration with all applications by placing configuration in /application/
or by placing it in the default
profile for the application.
For example, if you add secrets with the following keys, all application using the config server will have the properties shared.foo
and shared.bar
available to them:
secret name = /secret/application-default/
secret value =
{
shared.foo: foo,
shared.bar: bar
}
or
secret name = /secret/application/
secret value =
{
shared.foo: foo,
shared.bar: bar
}
===== AWS Parameter Store When using AWS Parameter Store as a backend, you can share configuration with all applications by placing properties within the `/application` hierarchy. For example, if you add parameters with the following names, all applications using the config server will have the properties `foo.bar` and `fred.baz` available to them: [source]
/config/application/foo.bar /config/application-default/fred.baz
==== JDBC Backend Spring Cloud Config Server supports JDBC (relational database) as a backend for configuration properties. You can enable this feature by adding `spring-jdbc` to the classpath and using the `jdbc` profile or by adding a bean of type `JdbcEnvironmentRepository`. If you include the right dependencies on the classpath (see the user guide for more details on that), Spring Boot configures a data source. // TODO Which user guide? When we know that, we should add a link to it. You can disable autoconfiguration for `JdbcEnvironmentRepository` by setting the `spring.cloud.config.server.jdbc.enabled` property to `false`. The database needs to have a table called `PROPERTIES` with columns called `APPLICATION`, `PROFILE`, and `LABEL` (with the usual `Environment` meaning), plus `KEY` and `VALUE` for the key and value pairs in `Properties` style. All fields are of type String in Java, so you can make them `VARCHAR` of whatever length you need. Property values behave in the same way as they would if they came from Spring Boot properties files named `{application}-{profile}.properties`, including all the encryption and decryption, which will be applied as post-processing steps (that is, not in the repository implementation directly). ==== Redis Backend Spring Cloud Config Server supports Redis as a backend for configuration properties. You can enable this feature by adding a dependency to link:https://spring.io/projects/spring-data-redis[Spring Data Redis]. [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
The following configuration uses Spring Data `RedisTemplate` to access a Redis. We can use `spring.redis.*` properties to override default connection settings. [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: redis redis: host: redis port: 16379
The properties should be stored as fields in a hash. The name of hash should be the same as `spring.application.name` property or conjunction of `spring.application.name` and `spring.profiles.active[n]`. [source,sh]
HMSET sample-app server.port "8100" sample.topic.name "test" test.property1 "property1"
After running the command visible above a hash should contain the following keys with values:
HGETALL sample-app { "server.port": "8100", "sample.topic.name": "test", "test.property1": "property1" }
NOTE: When no profile is specified `default` will be used. ==== AWS S3 Backend Spring Cloud Config Server supports AWS S3 as a backend for configuration properties. You can enable this feature by adding a dependency to the link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/examples-s3.html[AWS Java SDK For Amazon S3]. [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId> <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-s3</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
The following configuration uses the AWS S3 client to access configuration files. We can use `spring.awss3.*` properties to select the bucket where your configuration is stored. [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: awss3 cloud: config: server: awss3: region: us-east-1 bucket: bucket1
It is also possible to specify an AWS URL to link:https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/using-new-regions-and-endpoints/[override the standard endpoint] of your S3 service with `spring.awss3.endpoint`. This allows support for beta regions of S3, and other S3 compatible storage APIs. Credentials are found using the link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html[Default AWS Credential Provider Chain]. Versioned and encrypted buckets are supported without further configuration. Configuration files are stored in your bucket as `{application}-{profile}.properties`, `{application}-{profile}.yml` or `{application}-{profile}.json`. An optional label can be provided to specify a directory path to the file. NOTE: When no profile is specified `default` will be used. ==== AWS Parameter Store Backend Spring Cloud Config Server supports AWS Parameter Store as a backend for configuration properties. You can enable this feature by adding a dependency to the link:https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/tree/master/aws-java-sdk-ssm[AWS Java SDK for SSM]. [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<dependency> <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId> <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-ssm</artifactId> </dependency>
The following configuration uses the AWS SSM client to access parameters. [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: awsparamstore cloud: config: server: awsparamstore: region: eu-west-2 endpoint: ssm.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com origin: aws:parameter: prefix: /config/service profile-separator: _ recursive: true decrypt-values: true max-results: 5
The following table describes the AWS Parameter Store configuration properties. .AWS Parameter Store Configuration Properties |=== |Property Name |Required |Default Value |Remarks |*region* |no | |The region to be used by the AWS Parameter Store client. If it's not explicitly set, the SDK tries to determine the region to use by using the link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/java-dg-region-selection.html#default-region-provider-chain[Default Region Provider Chain]. |*endpoint* |no | |The URL of the entry point for the AWS SSM client.

Versioned parameters are already supported with the default behaviour of returning the latest version. [NOTE] ==== - When no application is specified `application` is the default, and when no profile is specified `default` is used. - Valid values for `awsparamstore.prefix` must start with a forward slash followed by one or more valid path segments or be empty. - Valid values for `awsparamstore.profile-separator` can only contain dots, dashes and underscores. - Valid values for `awsparamstore.max-results` must be within the *[1, 10]* range. ==== ==== AWS Secrets Manager Backend Spring Cloud Config Server supports link:https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/[AWS Secrets Manager] as a backend for configuration properties. You can enable this feature by adding a dependency to link:https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/tree/master/aws-java-sdk-secretsmanager[AWS Java SDK for Secrets Manager]. [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<dependency> <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId> <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-secretsmanager</artifactId> </dependency>
The following configuration uses the AWS Secrets Manager client to access secrets. [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: awssecretsmanager cloud: config: server: aws-secretsmanager: region: us-east-1 endpoint: us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ origin: aws:secrets: prefix: /secret/foo profileSeparator: _
AWS Secrets Manager API credentials are determined using link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html#credentials-default[Default Credential Provider Chain]. [NOTE] ==== - When no application is specified `application` is the default, and when no profile is specified `default` is used. ==== ==== CredHub Backend Spring Cloud Config Server supports link:https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/credhub[CredHub] as a backend for configuration properties. You can enable this feature by adding a dependency to link:https://spring.io/projects/spring-credhub[Spring CredHub]. [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.credhub</groupId> <artifactId>spring-credhub-starter</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
The following configuration uses mutual TLS to access a CredHub: [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: credhub cloud: config: server: credhub: url: credhub:8844
The properties should be stored as JSON, such as: [source,sh]
credhub set --name "/demo-app/default/master/toggles" --type=json value: {"toggle.button": "blue", "toggle.link": "red"}
[source,sh]
credhub set --name "/demo-app/default/master/abs" --type=json value: {"marketing.enabled": true, "external.enabled": false}
All client applications with the name `spring.cloud.config.name=demo-app` will have the following properties available to them:
{ toggle.button: "blue", toggle.link: "red", marketing.enabled: true, external.enabled: false }
NOTE: When no profile is specified `default` will be used and when no label is specified `master` will be used as a default value. NOTE: Values added to `application` will be shared by all the applications. ===== OAuth 2.0 You can authenticate with link:https://oauth.net/2/[OAuth 2.0] using link:https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/concepts/architecture/uaa.html[UAA] as a provider. [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId> <artifactId>spring-security-config</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId> <artifactId>spring-security-oauth2-client</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
The following configuration uses OAuth 2.0 and UAA to access a CredHub: [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: credhub cloud: config: server: credhub: url: credhub:8844 oauth2: registration-id: credhub-client security: oauth2: client: registration: credhub-client: provider: uaa client-id: credhub_config_server client-secret: asecret authorization-grant-type: client_credentials provider: uaa: token-uri: uaa:8443/oauth/token
NOTE: The used UAA client-id should have `credhub.read` as scope. [[composite-environment-repositories]] ==== Composite Environment Repositories In some scenarios, you may wish to pull configuration data from multiple environment repositories. To do so, you can enable the `composite` profile in your configuration server's application properties or YAML file. If, for example, you want to pull configuration data from a Subversion repository as well as two Git repositories, you can set the following properties for your configuration server: [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: composite cloud: config: server: composite: - type: svn uri: /path/to/svn/repo - type: git uri: /path/to/rex/git/repo - type: git uri: /path/to/walter/git/repo
Using this configuration, precedence is determined by the order in which repositories are listed under the `composite` key. In the above example, the Subversion repository is listed first, so a value found in the Subversion repository will override values found for the same property in one of the Git repositories. A value found in the `rex` Git repository will be used before a value found for the same property in the `walter` Git repository. If you want to pull configuration data only from repositories that are each of distinct types, you can enable the corresponding profiles, rather than the `composite` profile, in your configuration server's application properties or YAML file. If, for example, you want to pull configuration data from a single Git repository and a single HashiCorp Vault server, you can set the following properties for your configuration server: [source,yaml]
spring: profiles: active: git, vault cloud: config: server: git: uri: /path/to/git/repo order: 2 vault: host: 127.0.0.1 port: 8200 order: 1
Using this configuration, precedence can be determined by an `order` property. You can use the `order` property to specify the priority order for all your repositories. The lower the numerical value of the `order` property, the higher priority it has. The priority order of a repository helps resolve any potential conflicts between repositories that contain values for the same properties. NOTE: If your composite environment includes a Vault server as in the previous example, you must include a Vault token in every request made to the configuration server. See <<vault-backend,Vault Backend>>. NOTE: Any type of failure when retrieving values from an environment repository results in a failure for the entire composite environment. If you would like the composite to continue even when a repository fails you can set `spring.cloud.config.server.failOnCompositeError` to `false`. NOTE: When using a composite environment, it is important that all repositories contain the same labels. If you have an environment similar to those in the preceding examples and you request configuration data with the `master` label but the Subversion repository does not contain a branch called `master`, the entire request fails. ===== Custom Composite Environment Repositories In addition to using one of the environment repositories from Spring Cloud, you can also provide your own `EnvironmentRepository` bean to be included as part of a composite environment. To do so, your bean must implement the `EnvironmentRepository` interface. If you want to control the priority of your custom `EnvironmentRepository` within the composite environment, you should also implement the `Ordered` interface and override the `getOrdered` method. If you do not implement the `Ordered` interface, your `EnvironmentRepository` is given the lowest priority. [[property-overrides]] ==== Property Overrides The Config Server has an "`overrides`" feature that lets the operator provide configuration properties to all applications. The overridden properties cannot be accidentally changed by the application with the normal Spring Boot hooks. To declare overrides, add a map of name-value pairs to `spring.cloud.config.server.overrides`, as shown in the following example: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: config: server: overrides: foo: bar
The preceding examples causes all applications that are config clients to read `foo=bar`, independent of their own configuration. NOTE: A configuration system cannot force an application to use configuration data in any particular way. Consequently, overrides are not enforceable. However, they do provide useful default behavior for Spring Cloud Config clients. TIP: Normally, Spring environment placeholders with `${}` can be escaped (and resolved on the client) by using backslash (`\`) to escape the `$` or the `{`. For example, `\${app.foo:bar}` resolves to `bar`, unless the app provides its own `app.foo`. NOTE: In YAML, you do not need to escape the backslash itself. However, in properties files, you do need to escape the backslash, when you configure the overrides on the server. You can change the priority of all overrides in the client to be more like default values, letting applications supply their own values in environment variables or System properties, by setting the `spring.cloud.config.overrideNone=true` flag (the default is false) in the remote repository. === Health Indicator Config Server comes with a Health Indicator that checks whether the configured `EnvironmentRepository` is working. By default, it asks the `EnvironmentRepository` for an application named `app`, the `default` profile, and the default label provided by the `EnvironmentRepository` implementation. You can configure the Health Indicator to check more applications along with custom profiles and custom labels, as shown in the following example: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: config: server: health: repositories: myservice: label: mylabel myservice-dev: name: myservice profiles: development
You can disable the Health Indicator by setting `management.health.config.enabled=false`. === Security You can secure your Config Server in any way that makes sense to you (from physical network security to OAuth2 bearer tokens), because Spring Security and Spring Boot offer support for many security arrangements. To use the default Spring Boot-configured HTTP Basic security, include Spring Security on the classpath (for example, through `spring-boot-starter-security`). The default is a username of `user` and a randomly generated password. A random password is not useful in practice, so we recommend you configure the password (by setting `spring.security.user.password`) and encrypt it (see below for instructions on how to do that). === Encryption and Decryption IMPORTANT: To use the encryption and decryption features you need the full-strength JCE installed in your JVM (it is not included by default). You can download the "`Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files`" from Oracle and follow the installation instructions (essentially, you need to replace the two policy files in the JRE lib/security directory with the ones that you downloaded). If the remote property sources contain encrypted content (values starting with `{cipher}`), they are decrypted before sending to clients over HTTP. The main advantage of this setup is that the property values need not be in plain text when they are "`at rest`" (for example, in a git repository). If a value cannot be decrypted, it is removed from the property source and an additional property is added with the same key but prefixed with `invalid` and a value that means "`not applicable`" (usually `<n/a>`). This is largely to prevent cipher text being used as a password and accidentally leaking. If you set up a remote config repository for config client applications, it might contain an `application.yml` similar to the following: .application.yml [source,yaml]
spring: datasource: username: dbuser password: '{cipher}FKSAJDFGYOS8F7GLHAKERGFHLSAJ'
Encrypted values in `application.properties` file must not be wrapped in quotes. Otherwise, the value is not decrypted. The following example shows values that would work: .application.properties
spring.datasource.username: dbuser spring.datasource.password: {cipher}FKSAJDFGYOS8F7GLHAKERGFHLSAJ
You can safely push this plain text to a shared git repository, and the secret password remains protected. The server also exposes `/encrypt` and `/decrypt` endpoints (on the assumption that these are secured and only accessed by authorized agents). If you edit a remote config file, you can use the Config Server to encrypt values by POSTing to the `/encrypt` endpoint, as shown in the following example:
$ curl localhost:8888/encrypt -s -d mysecret 682bc583f4641835fa2db009355293665d2647dade3375c0ee201de2a49f7bda
TIP: If you are testing with curl, then use `--data-urlencode` (instead of `-d`) and prefix the value to encrypt with `=` (curl requires this) or set an explicit `Content-Type: text/plain` to make sure curl encodes the data correctly when there are special characters ('+' is particularly tricky). TIP: Be sure not to include any of the curl command statistics in the encrypted value, this is why the examples use the `-s` option to silence them. Outputting the value to a file can help avoid this problem. The inverse operation is also available through `/decrypt` (provided the server is configured with a symmetric key or a full key pair), as shown in the following example:
$ curl localhost:8888/decrypt -s -d 682bc583f4641835fa2db009355293665d2647dade3375c0ee201de2a49f7bda mysecret
Take the encrypted value and add the `{cipher}` prefix before you put it in the YAML or properties file and before you commit and push it to a remote (potentially insecure) store. The `/encrypt` and `/decrypt` endpoints also both accept paths in the form of `/*/{application}/{profiles}`, which can be used to control cryptography on a per-application (name) and per-profile basis when clients call into the main environment resource. NOTE: To control the cryptography in this granular way, you must also provide a `@Bean` of type `TextEncryptorLocator` that creates a different encryptor per name and profiles. The one that is provided by default does not do so (all encryptions use the same key). The `spring` command line client (with Spring Cloud CLI extensions installed) can also be used to encrypt and decrypt, as shown in the following example:
$ spring encrypt mysecret --key foo 682bc583f4641835fa2db009355293665d2647dade3375c0ee201de2a49f7bda $ spring decrypt --key foo 682bc583f4641835fa2db009355293665d2647dade3375c0ee201de2a49f7bda mysecret
To use a key in a file (such as an RSA public key for encryption), prepend the key value with "@" and provide the file path, as shown in the following example:
$ spring encrypt mysecret --key @${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub AQAjPgt3eFZQXwt8tsHAVv/QHiY5sI2dRcR+…
NOTE: The `--key` argument is mandatory (despite having a `--` prefix). === Key Management The Config Server can use a symmetric (shared) key or an asymmetric one (RSA key pair). The asymmetric choice is superior in terms of security, but it is often more convenient to use a symmetric key since it is a single property value to configure in the `bootstrap.properties`. To configure a symmetric key, you need to set `encrypt.key` to a secret String (or use the `ENCRYPT_KEY` environment variable to keep it out of plain-text configuration files). NOTE: You cannot configure an asymmetric key using `encrypt.key`. To configure an asymmetric key use a keystore (e.g. as created by the `keytool` utility that comes with the JDK). The keystore properties are `encrypt.keyStore.\*` with `*` equal to [options="header"] |=== ^|Property ^|Description |`encrypt.keyStore.location`|Contains a `Resource` location |`encrypt.keyStore.password`|Holds the password that unlocks the keystore |`encrypt.keyStore.alias`|Identifies which key in the store to use |`encrypt.keyStore.type`|The type of KeyStore to create. Defaults to `jks`. |=== The encryption is done with the public key, and a private key is needed for decryption. Thus, in principle, you can configure only the public key in the server if you want to only encrypt (and are prepared to decrypt the values yourself locally with the private key). In practice, you might not want to do decrypt locally, because it spreads the key management process around all the clients, instead of concentrating it in the server. On the other hand, it can be a useful option if your config server is relatively insecure and only a handful of clients need the encrypted properties. === Creating a Key Store for Testing To create a keystore for testing, you can use a command resembling the following:
$ keytool -genkeypair -alias mytestkey -keyalg RSA \ -dname "CN=Web Server,OU=Unit,O=Organization,L=City,S=State,C=US" \ -keypass changeme -keystore server.jks -storepass letmein
NOTE: When using JDK 11 or above you may get the following warning when using the command above. In this case you probably want to make sure the `keypass` and `storepass` values match.
Warning: Different store and key passwords not supported for PKCS12 KeyStores. Ignoring user-specified -keypass value.
Put the `server.jks` file in the classpath (for instance) and then, in your `bootstrap.yml`, for the Config Server, create the following settings: [source,yaml]
encrypt: keyStore: location: classpath:/server.jks password: letmein alias: mytestkey secret: changeme
=== Using Multiple Keys and Key Rotation In addition to the `{cipher}` prefix in encrypted property values, the Config Server looks for zero or more `{name:value}` prefixes before the start of the (Base64 encoded) cipher text. The keys are passed to a `TextEncryptorLocator`, which can do whatever logic it needs to locate a `TextEncryptor` for the cipher. If you have configured a keystore (`encrypt.keystore.location`), the default locator looks for keys with aliases supplied by the `key` prefix, with a cipher text like resembling the following: [source,yaml]
foo:
bar: {cipher}{key:testkey}…
The locator looks for a key named "testkey". A secret can also be supplied by using a `{secret:...}` value in the prefix. However, if it is not supplied, the default is to use the keystore password (which is what you get when you build a keystore and do not specify a secret). If you do supply a secret, you should also encrypt the secret using a custom `SecretLocator`. When the keys are being used only to encrypt a few bytes of configuration data (that is, they are not being used elsewhere), key rotation is hardly ever necessary on cryptographic grounds. However, you might occasionally need to change the keys (for example, in the event of a security breach). In that case, all the clients would need to change their source config files (for example, in git) and use a new `{key:...}` prefix in all the ciphers. Note that the clients need to first check that the key alias is available in the Config Server keystore. TIP: If you want to let the Config Server handle all encryption as well as decryption, the `{name:value}` prefixes can also be added as plain text posted to the `/encrypt` endpoint, . === Serving Encrypted Properties Sometimes you want the clients to decrypt the configuration locally, instead of doing it in the server. In that case, if you provide the `encrypt.*` configuration to locate a key, you can still have `/encrypt` and `/decrypt` endpoints, but you need to explicitly switch off the decryption of outgoing properties by placing `spring.cloud.config.server.encrypt.enabled=false` in `bootstrap.[yml|properties]`. If you do not care about the endpoints, it should work if you do not configure either the key or the enabled flag. == Serving Alternative Formats The default JSON format from the environment endpoints is perfect for consumption by Spring applications, because it maps directly onto the `Environment` abstraction. If you prefer, you can consume the same data as YAML or Java properties by adding a suffix (".yml", ".yaml" or ".properties") to the resource path. This can be useful for consumption by applications that do not care about the structure of the JSON endpoints or the extra metadata they provide (for example, an application that is not using Spring might benefit from the simplicity of this approach). The YAML and properties representations have an additional flag (provided as a boolean query parameter called `resolvePlaceholders`) to signal that placeholders in the source documents (in the standard Spring `${...}` form) should be resolved in the output before rendering, where possible. This is a useful feature for consumers that do not know about the Spring placeholder conventions. NOTE: There are limitations in using the YAML or properties formats, mainly in relation to the loss of metadata. For example, the JSON is structured as an ordered list of property sources, with names that correlate with the source. The YAML and properties forms are coalesced into a single map, even if the origin of the values has multiple sources, and the names of the original source files are lost. Also, the YAML representation is not necessarily a faithful representation of the YAML source in a backing repository either. It is constructed from a list of flat property sources, and assumptions have to be made about the form of the keys. == Serving Plain Text Instead of using the `Environment` abstraction (or one of the alternative representations of it in YAML or properties format), your applications might need generic plain-text configuration files that are tailored to their environment. The Config Server provides these through an additional endpoint at `/{application}/{profile}/{label}/{path}`, where `application`, `profile`, and `label` have the same meaning as the regular environment endpoint, but `path` is a path to a file name (such as `log.xml`). The source files for this endpoint are located in the same way as for the environment endpoints. The same search path is used for properties and YAML files. However, instead of aggregating all matching resources, only the first one to match is returned. After a resource is located, placeholders in the normal format (`${...}`) are resolved by using the effective `Environment` for the supplied application name, profile, and label. In this way, the resource endpoint is tightly integrated with the environment endpoints. NOTE: As with the source files for environment configuration, the `profile` is used to resolve the file name. So, if you want a profile-specific file, `/\*/development/*/logback.xml` can be resolved by a file called `logback-development.xml` (in preference to `logback.xml`). NOTE: If you do not want to supply the `label` and let the server use the default label, you can supply a `useDefaultLabel` request parameter. Consequently, the preceding example for the `default` profile could be `/sample/default/nginx.conf?useDefaultLabel`. At present, Spring Cloud Config can serve plaintext for git, SVN, native backends, and AWS S3. The support for git, SVN, and native backends is identical. AWS S3 works a bit differently. The following sections show how each one works: * <<spring-cloud-config-serving-plain-text-git-svn-native-backends>> * <<spring-cloud-config-serving-plain-text-aws-s3>> [[spring-cloud-config-serving-plain-text-git-svn-native-backends]] === Git, SVN, and Native Backends Consider the following example for a GIT or SVN repository or a native backend: ==== [source]
application.yml nginx.conf
==== The `nginx.conf` might resemble the following listing: ==== [source]
server { listen 80; server_name ${nginx.server.name}; }
==== `application.yml` might resemble the following listing: ==== [source,yaml]
nginx: server: name: example.com --- spring: profiles: development nginx: server: name: develop.com
==== The `/sample/default/master/nginx.conf` resource might be as follows: ==== [source]
server { listen 80; server_name example.com; }
==== `/sample/development/master/nginx.conf` might be as follows: ==== [source]
server { listen 80; server_name develop.com; }
==== [[spring-cloud-config-serving-plain-text-aws-s3]] === AWS S3 To enable serving plain text for AWS s3, the Config Server application needs to include a dependency on Spring Cloud AWS. For details on how to set up that dependency, see the https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/spring-cloud-aws/2.1.3.RELEASE/single/spring-cloud-aws.html#_spring_cloud_aws_maven_dependency_management[Spring Cloud AWS Reference Guide]. Then you need to configure Spring Cloud AWS, as described in the https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/spring-cloud-aws/2.1.3.RELEASE/single/spring-cloud-aws.html#_configuring_credentials[Spring Cloud AWS Reference Guide]. === Decrypting Plain Text By default, encrypted values in plain text files are not decrypted. In order to enable decryption for plain text files, set `spring.cloud.config.server.encrypt.enabled=true` and `spring.cloud.config.server.encrypt.plainTextEncrypt=true` in `bootstrap.[yml|properties]` NOTE: Decrypting plain text files is only supported for YAML, JSON, and properties file extensions. If this feature is enabled, and an unsupported file extention is requested, any encrypted values in the file will not be decrypted. == Embedding the Config Server The Config Server runs best as a standalone application. However, if need be, you can embed it in another application. To do so, use the `@EnableConfigServer` annotation. An optional property named `spring.cloud.config.server.bootstrap` can be useful in this case. It is a flag to indicate whether the server should configure itself from its own remote repository. By default, the flag is off, because it can delay startup. However, when embedded in another application, it makes sense to initialize the same way as any other application. When setting `spring.cloud.config.server.bootstrap` to `true` you must also use a <<composite-environment-repositories,composite environment repository configuration>>. For example [source,yaml]
spring: application: name: configserver profiles: active: composite cloud: config: server: composite: - type: native search-locations: ${HOME}/Desktop/config bootstrap: true
NOTE: If you use the bootstrap flag, the config server needs to have its name and repository URI configured in `bootstrap.yml`. To change the location of the server endpoints, you can (optionally) set `spring.cloud.config.server.prefix` (for example, `/config`), to serve the resources under a prefix. The prefix should start but not end with a `/`. It is applied to the `@RequestMappings` in the Config Server (that is, underneath the Spring Boot `server.servletPath` and `server.contextPath` prefixes). If you want to read the configuration for an application directly from the backend repository (instead of from the config server), you basically want an embedded config server with no endpoints. You can switch off the endpoints entirely by not using the `@EnableConfigServer` annotation (set `spring.cloud.config.server.bootstrap=true`). == Push Notifications and Spring Cloud Bus Many source code repository providers (such as Github, Gitlab, Gitea, Gitee, Gogs, or Bitbucket) notify you of changes in a repository through a webhook. You can configure the webhook through the provider's user interface as a URL and a set of events in which you are interested. For instance, https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/#pushevent[Github] uses a POST to the webhook with a JSON body containing a list of commits and a header (`X-Github-Event`) set to `push`. If you add a dependency on the `spring-cloud-config-monitor` library and activate the Spring Cloud Bus in your Config Server, then a `/monitor` endpoint is enabled. When the webhook is activated, the Config Server sends a `RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent` targeted at the applications it thinks might have changed. The change detection can be strategized. However, by default, it looks for changes in files that match the application name (for example, `foo.properties` is targeted at the `foo` application, while `application.properties` is targeted at all applications). The strategy to use when you want to override the behavior is `PropertyPathNotificationExtractor`, which accepts the request headers and body as parameters and returns a list of file paths that changed. The default configuration works out of the box with Github, Gitlab, Gitea, Gitee, Gogs or Bitbucket. In addition to the JSON notifications from Github, Gitlab, Gitee, or Bitbucket, you can trigger a change notification by POSTing to `/monitor` with form-encoded body parameters in the pattern of `path={application}`. Doing so broadcasts to applications matching the `{application}` pattern (which can contain wildcards). NOTE: The `RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent` is transmitted only if the `spring-cloud-bus` is activated in both the Config Server and in the client application. NOTE: The default configuration also detects filesystem changes in local git repositories. In that case, the webhook is not used. However, as soon as you edit a config file, a refresh is broadcast. == Spring Cloud Config Client A Spring Boot application can take immediate advantage of the Spring Config Server (or other external property sources provided by the application developer). It also picks up some additional useful features related to `Environment` change events. [[config-data-import]] === Spring Boot Config Data Import Spring Boot 2.4 introduced a new way to import configuration data via the `spring.config.import` property. This is now the default way to bind to Config Server. To optionally connect to config server set the following in application.properties: .application.properties [source,properties]
spring.config.import=optional:configserver:
This will connect to the Config Server at the default location of "http://localhost:8888". Removing the `optional:` prefix will cause the Config Client to fail if it is unable to connect to Config Server. To change the location of Config Server either set `spring.cloud.config.uri` or add the url to the `spring.config.import` statement such as, `spring.config.import=optional:configserver:http://myhost:8888`. The location in the import property has precedence over the uri property. NOTE: A `bootstrap` file (properties or yaml) is *not* needed for the Spring Boot Config Data method of import via `spring.config.import`. [[config-first-bootstrap]] === Config First Bootstrap To use the legacy bootstrap way of connecting to Config Server, bootstrap must be enabled via a property or the `spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap` starter. The property is `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true`. It must be set as a System Property or environment variable. Once bootstrap has been enabled any application with Spring Cloud Config Client on the classpath will connect to Config Server as follows: When a config client starts, it binds to the Config Server (through the `spring.cloud.config.uri` bootstrap configuration property) and initializes Spring `Environment` with remote property sources. The net result of this behavior is that all client applications that want to consume the Config Server need a `bootstrap.yml` (or an environment variable) with the server address set in `spring.cloud.config.uri` (it defaults to "http://localhost:8888"). [[discovery-first-bootstrap]] ==== Discovery First Lookup WARNING: Unless you are using <<config-first-bootstrap, config first bootstrap>>, you will need to have a `spring.config.import` property in your configuration properties with an `optional:` prefix. For example, `spring.config.import=optional:configserver:`. If you use a `DiscoveryClient` implementation, such as Spring Cloud Netflix and Eureka Service Discovery or Spring Cloud Consul, you can have the Config Server register with the Discovery Service. If you prefer to use `DiscoveryClient` to locate the Config Server, you can do so by setting `spring.cloud.config.discovery.enabled=true` (the default is `false`). For example, with Spring Cloud Netflix, you need to define the Eureka server address (for example, in `eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone`). The price for using this option is an extra network round trip on startup, to locate the service registration. The benefit is that, as long as the Discovery Service is a fixed point, the Config Server can change its coordinates. The default service ID is `configserver`, but you can change that on the client by setting `spring.cloud.config.discovery.serviceId` (and on the server, in the usual way for a service, such as by setting `spring.application.name`). The discovery client implementations all support some kind of metadata map (for example, we have `eureka.instance.metadataMap` for Eureka). Some additional properties of the Config Server may need to be configured in its service registration metadata so that clients can connect correctly. If the Config Server is secured with HTTP Basic, you can configure the credentials as `user` and `password`. Also, if the Config Server has a context path, you can set `configPath`. For example, the following YAML file is for a Config Server that is a Eureka client: [source,yaml]
eureka: instance: … metadataMap: user: osufhalskjrtl password: lviuhlszvaorhvlo5847 configPath: /config
==== Discovery First Bootstrap Using Eureka And WebClient If you use the Eureka `DiscoveryClient` from Spring Cloud Netflix and also want to use `WebClient` instead of Jersey or `RestTemplate`, you need to include `WebClient` on your classpath as well as set `eureka.client.webclient.enabled=true`. [[config-client-fail-fast]] === Config Client Fail Fast In some cases, you may want to fail startup of a service if it cannot connect to the Config Server. If this is the desired behavior, set the bootstrap configuration property `spring.cloud.config.fail-fast=true` to make the client halt with an Exception. NOTE: To get similar functionality using `spring.config.import`, simply omit the `optional:` prefix. [[config-client-retry]] === Config Client Retry If you expect that the config server may occasionally be unavailable when your application starts, you can make it keep trying after a failure. First, you need to set `spring.cloud.config.fail-fast=true`. Then you need to add `spring-retry` and `spring-boot-starter-aop` to your classpath. The default behavior is to retry six times with an initial backoff interval of 1000ms and an exponential multiplier of 1.1 for subsequent backoffs. You can configure these properties (and others) by setting the `spring.cloud.config.retry.*` configuration properties. TIP: To take full control of the retry behavior and are using legacy bootstrap, add a `@Bean` of type `RetryOperationsInterceptor` with an ID of `configServerRetryInterceptor`. Spring Retry has a `RetryInterceptorBuilder` that supports creating one. === Config Client Retry with spring.config.import Retry works with the Spring Boot `spring.config.import` statement and the normal properties work. However, if the import statement is in a profile, such as `application-prod.properties`, then you need a different way to configure retry. Configuration needs to be placed as url parameters on the import statement. .application-prod.properties [source,properties]
spring.config.import=configserver:http://configserver.example.com?fail-fast=true&max-attempts=10&max-interval=1500&multiplier=1.2&initial-interval=1100"
This sets `spring.cloud.config.fail-fast=true` (notice the missing prefix above) and all the available `spring.cloud.config.retry.*` configuration properties. === Locating Remote Configuration Resources The Config Service serves property sources from `/{application}/{profile}/{label}`, where the default bindings in the client app are as follows: * "application" = `${spring.application.name}` * "profile" = `${spring.profiles.active}` (actually `Environment.getActiveProfiles()`) * "label" = "master" NOTE: When setting the property `${spring.application.name}` do not prefix your app name with the reserved word `application-` to prevent issues resolving the correct property source. You can override all of them by setting `spring.cloud.config.\*` (where `*` is `name`, `profile` or `label`). The `label` is useful for rolling back to previous versions of configuration. With the default Config Server implementation, it can be a git label, branch name, or commit ID. Label can also be provided as a comma-separated list. In that case, the items in the list are tried one by one until one succeeds. This behavior can be useful when working on a feature branch. For instance, you might want to align the config label with your branch but make it optional (in that case, use `spring.cloud.config.label=myfeature,develop`). === Specifying Multiple Urls for the Config Server To ensure high availability when you have multiple instances of Config Server deployed and expect one or more instances to be unavailable from time to time, you can either specify multiple URLs (as a comma-separated list under the `spring.cloud.config.uri` property) or have all your instances register in a Service Registry like Eureka ( if using Discovery-First Bootstrap mode ). Note that doing so ensures high availability only when the Config Server is not running (that is, when the application has exited) or when a connection timeout has occurred. For example, if the Config Server returns a 500 (Internal Server Error) response or the Config Client receives a 401 from the Config Server (due to bad credentials or other causes), the Config Client does not try to fetch properties from other URLs. An error of that kind indicates a user issue rather than an availability problem. If you use HTTP basic security on your Config Server, it is currently possible to support per-Config Server auth credentials only if you embed the credentials in each URL you specify under the `spring.cloud.config.uri` property. If you use any other kind of security mechanism, you cannot (currently) support per-Config Server authentication and authorization. === Configuring Timeouts If you want to configure timeout thresholds: * Read timeouts can be configured by using the property `spring.cloud.config.request-read-timeout`. * Connection timeouts can be configured by using the property `spring.cloud.config.request-connect-timeout`. === Security If you use HTTP Basic security on the server, clients need to know the password (and username if it is not the default). You can specify the username and password through the config server URI or via separate username and password properties, as shown in the following example: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: config: uri: user:secret@myconfig.mycompany.com
The following example shows an alternate way to pass the same information: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: config: uri: myconfig.mycompany.com username: user password: secret
The `spring.cloud.config.password` and `spring.cloud.config.username` values override anything that is provided in the URI. If you deploy your apps on Cloud Foundry, the best way to provide the password is through service credentials (such as in the URI, since it does not need to be in a config file). The following example works locally and for a user-provided service on Cloud Foundry named `configserver`: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: config: uri: ${vcap.services.configserver.credentials.uri:http://user:password@localhost:8888}
If config server requires client side TLS certificate, you can configure client side TLS certificate and trust store via properties, as shown in following example: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: config: uri: myconfig.myconfig.com tls: enabled: true key-store: <path-of-key-store> key-store-type: PKCS12 key-store-password: <key-store-password> key-password: <key-password> trust-store: <path-of-trust-store> trust-store-type: PKCS12 trust-store-password: <trust-store-password>
The `spring.cloud.config.tls.enabled` needs to be true to enable config client side TLS. When `spring.cloud.config.tls.trust-store` is omitted, a JVM default trust store is used. The default value for `spring.cloud.config.tls.key-store-type` and `spring.cloud.config.tls.trust-store-type` is PKCS12. When password properties are omitted, empty password is assumed. If you use another form of security, you might need to <<custom-rest-template,provide a `RestTemplate`>> to the `ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator` (for example, by grabbing it in the bootstrap context and injecting it). ==== Health Indicator The Config Client supplies a Spring Boot Health Indicator that attempts to load configuration from the Config Server. The health indicator can be disabled by setting `health.config.enabled=false`. The response is also cached for performance reasons. The default cache time to live is 5 minutes. To change that value, set the `health.config.time-to-live` property (in milliseconds). [[custom-rest-template]] ==== Providing A Custom RestTemplate In some cases, you might need to customize the requests made to the config server from the client. Typically, doing so involves passing special `Authorization` headers to authenticate requests to the server. To provide a custom `RestTemplate`: 1. Create a new configuration bean with an implementation of `PropertySourceLocator`, as shown in the following example: .CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration.java [source,java]
@Configuration public class CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration { @Bean public ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator configServicePropertySourceLocator() { ConfigClientProperties clientProperties = configClientProperties(); ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator configServicePropertySourceLocator = new ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator(clientProperties); configServicePropertySourceLocator.setRestTemplate(customRestTemplate(clientProperties)); return configServicePropertySourceLocator; } }
NOTE: For a simplified approach to adding `Authorization` headers, the `spring.cloud.config.headers.*` property can be used instead. 2. In `resources/META-INF`, create a file called `spring.factories` and specify your custom configuration, as shown in the following example: .spring.factories [source,properties]
org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration = com.my.config.client.CustomConfigServiceBootstrapConfiguration
==== Vault When using Vault as a backend to your config server, the client needs to supply a token for the server to retrieve values from Vault. This token can be provided within the client by setting `spring.cloud.config.token` in `bootstrap.yml`, as shown in the following example: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: config: token: YourVaultToken
=== Nested Keys In Vault Vault supports the ability to nest keys in a value stored in Vault, as shown in the following example: `echo -n '{"appA": {"secret": "appAsecret"}, "bar": "baz"}' | vault write secret/myapp -` This command writes a JSON object to your Vault. To access these values in Spring, you would use the traditional dot(`.`) annotation, as shown in the following example [source,java]
@Value("${appA.secret}") String name = "World";
The preceding code would sets the value of the `name` variable to `appAsecret`. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-consul :project-version: {spring-cloud-consul-version} = Spring Cloud Consul :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Consul :all: {asterisk}{asterisk} *{spring-cloud-version}* This project provides Consul integrations for Spring Boot apps through autoconfiguration and binding to the Spring Environment and other Spring programming model idioms. With a few simple annotations you can quickly enable and configure the common patterns inside your application and build large distributed systems with Consul based components. The patterns provided include Service Discovery, Control Bus and Configuration. Intelligent Routing and Client Side Load Balancing, Circuit Breaker are provided by integration with other Spring Cloud projects. == Quick Start This quick start walks through using Spring Cloud Consul for Service Discovery and Distributed Configuration. First, run Consul Agent on your machine. Then you can access it and use it as a Service Registry and Configuration source with Spring Cloud Consul. === Discovery Client Usage To use these features in an application, you can build it as a Spring Boot application that depends on `spring-cloud-consul-core`. The most convenient way to add the dependency is with a Spring Boot starter: `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-consul-discovery`. We recommend using dependency management and `spring-boot-starter-parent`. The following example shows a typical Maven configuration: [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<project> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.6.0-M3</version> <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -→ </parent>
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-consul-discovery</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId> <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
The following example shows a typical Gradle setup: [source,groovy,indent=0] .build.gradle
plugins { id 'org.springframework.boot' version $2.6.0-M3 id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version ${spring-dependency-management-version} id 'java' }
repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies { implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-consul-discovery' testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test' } dependencyManagement { imports { mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}" } }
Now you can create a standard Spring Boot application, such as the following HTTP server:
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@GetMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello World!"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); }
}
When this HTTP server runs, it connects to Consul Agent running at the default local 8500 port. To modify the startup behavior, you can change the location of Consul Agent by using `application.properties`, as shown in the following example:
spring: cloud: consul: host: localhost port: 8500
You can now use `DiscoveryClient`, `@LoadBalanced RestTemplate`, or `@LoadBalanced WebClient.Builder` to retrieve services and instances data from Consul, as shown in the following example: [source,java,indent=0]
@Autowired private DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;
public String serviceUrl() { List<ServiceInstance> list = discoveryClient.getInstances("STORES"); if (list != null && list.size() > 0 ) { return list.get(0).getUri().toString(); } return null; }
=== Distributed Configuration Usage To use these features in an application, you can build it as a Spring Boot application that depends on `spring-cloud-consul-core` and `spring-cloud-consul-config`. The most convenient way to add the dependency is with a Spring Boot starter: `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-consul-config`. We recommend using dependency management and `spring-boot-starter-parent`. The following example shows a typical Maven configuration: [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<project> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.6.0-M3</version> <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -→ </parent>
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-consul-config</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId> <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
The following example shows a typical Gradle setup: [source,groovy,indent=0] .build.gradle
plugins { id 'org.springframework.boot' version $2.6.0-M3 id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version ${spring-dependency-management-version} id 'java' }
repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies { implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-consul-config' testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test' } dependencyManagement { imports { mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}" } }
Now you can create a standard Spring Boot application, such as the following HTTP server:
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@GetMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello World!"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); }
}
The application retrieves configuration data from Consul. WARNING: If you use Spring Cloud Consul Config, you need to set the `spring.config.import` property in order to bind to Consul. You can read more about it in the <<config-data-import,Spring Boot Config Data Import section>>. [[spring-cloud-consul-install]] == Install Consul Please see the https://www.consul.io/intro/getting-started/install.html[installation documentation] for instructions on how to install Consul. [[spring-cloud-consul-agent]] == Consul Agent A Consul Agent client must be available to all Spring Cloud Consul applications. By default, the Agent client is expected to be at `localhost:8500`. See the https://consul.io/docs/agent/basics.html[Agent documentation] for specifics on how to start an Agent client and how to connect to a cluster of Consul Agent Servers. For development, after you have installed consul, you may start a Consul Agent using the following command:
This will start an agent in server mode on port 8500, with the ui available at http://localhost:8500 [[spring-cloud-consul-discovery]] == Service Discovery with Consul Service Discovery is one of the key tenets of a microservice based architecture. Trying to hand configure each client or some form of convention can be very difficult to do and can be very brittle. Consul provides Service Discovery services via an https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/http.html[HTTP API] and https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/dns.html[DNS]. Spring Cloud Consul leverages the HTTP API for service registration and discovery. This does not prevent non-Spring Cloud applications from leveraging the DNS interface. Consul Agents servers are run in a https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/architecture.html[cluster] that communicates via a https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/gossip.html[gossip protocol] and uses the https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/consensus.html[Raft consensus protocol]. === How to activate To activate Consul Service Discovery use the starter with group `org.springframework.cloud` and artifact id `spring-cloud-starter-consul-discovery`. See the https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/[Spring Cloud Project page] for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train. === Registering with Consul When a client registers with Consul, it provides meta-data about itself such as host and port, id, name and tags. An HTTP https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/checks.html[Check] is created by default that Consul hits the `/actuator/health` endpoint every 10 seconds. If the health check fails, the service instance is marked as critical. Example Consul client: [source,java,indent=0]
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello world"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class).web(true).run(args); }
}
(i.e. utterly normal Spring Boot app). If the Consul client is located somewhere other than `localhost:8500`, the configuration is required to locate the client. Example: .application.yml
spring: cloud: consul: host: localhost port: 8500
CAUTION: If you use <<spring-cloud-consul-config,Spring Cloud Consul Config>>, and you have set `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true` or `spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true` or use `spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap`, then the above values will need to be placed in `bootstrap.yml` instead of `application.yml`. The default service name, instance id and port, taken from the `Environment`, are `${spring.application.name}`, the Spring Context ID and `${server.port}` respectively. To disable the Consul Discovery Client you can set `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.enabled` to `false`. Consul Discovery Client will also be disabled when `spring.cloud.discovery.enabled` is set to `false`. To disable the service registration you can set `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.register` to `false`. ==== Registering Management as a Separate Service When management server port is set to something different than the application port, by setting `management.server.port` property, management service will be registered as a separate service than the application service. For example: .application.yml
spring: application: name: myApp management: server: port: 4452
Above configuration will register following 2 services: * Application Service:
ID: myApp Name: myApp
* Management Service:
ID: myApp-management Name: myApp-management
Management service will inherit its `instanceId` and `serviceName` from the application service. For example: .application.yml
spring: application: name: myApp management: server: port: 4452 spring: cloud: consul: discovery: instance-id: custom-service-id serviceName: myprefix-${spring.application.name}
Above configuration will register following 2 services: * Application Service:
ID: custom-service-id Name: myprefix-myApp
* Management Service:
ID: custom-service-id-management Name: myprefix-myApp-management
Further customization is possible via following properties:
/** Port to register the management service under (defaults to management port) */ spring.cloud.consul.discovery.management-port
/** Suffix to use when registering management service (defaults to "management" */ spring.cloud.consul.discovery.management-suffix
/** Tags to use when registering management service (defaults to "management" */ spring.cloud.consul.discovery.management-tags
==== HTTP Health Check The health check for a Consul instance defaults to "/actuator/health", which is the default location of the health endpoint in a Spring Boot Actuator application. You need to change this, even for an Actuator application, if you use a non-default context path or servlet path (e.g. `server.servletPath=/foo`) or management endpoint path (e.g. `management.server.servlet.context-path=/admin`). The interval that Consul uses to check the health endpoint may also be configured. "10s" and "1m" represent 10 seconds and 1 minute respectively. This example illustrates the above (see the `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.health-check-*` properties in link:appendix.html[the appendix page] for more options). .application.yml
spring: cloud: consul: discovery: healthCheckPath: ${management.server.servlet.context-path}/actuator/health healthCheckInterval: 15s
You can disable the HTTP health check entirely by setting `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.register-health-check=false`. ===== Applying Headers Headers can be applied to health check requests. For example, if you're trying to register a https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/[Spring Cloud Config] server that uses https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/spring-cloud-config.adoc#vault-backend[Vault Backend]: .application.yml
spring: cloud: consul: discovery: health-check-headers: X-Config-Token: 6442e58b-d1ea-182e-cfa5-cf9cddef0722
According to the HTTP standard, each header can have more than one values, in which case, an array can be supplied: .application.yml
spring: cloud: consul: discovery: health-check-headers: X-Config-Token: - "6442e58b-d1ea-182e-cfa5-cf9cddef0722" - "Some other value"
==== Actuator Health Indicator(s) If the service instance is a Spring Boot Actuator application, it may be provided the following Actuator health indicators. ===== DiscoveryClientHealthIndicator When Consul Service Discovery is active, a https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/2.2.x/reference/html/#health-indicator[DiscoverClientHealthIndicator] is configured and made available to the Actuator health endpoint. See https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/2.2.x/reference/html/#health-indicator[here] for configuration options. ===== ConsulHealthIndicator An indicator is configured that verifies the health of the `ConsulClient`. By default, it retrieves the Consul leader node status and all registered services. In deployments that have many registered services it may be costly to retrieve all services on every health check. To skip the service retrieval and only check the leader node status set `spring.cloud.consul.health-indicator.include-services-query=false`. To disable the indicator set `management.health.consul.enabled=false`. WARNING: When the application runs in https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/2.2.x/reference/html/#the-bootstrap-application-context[bootstrap context mode] (the default), this indicator is loaded into the bootstrap context and is not made available to the Actuator health endpoint. ==== Metadata Consul supports metadata on services. Spring Cloud's `ServiceInstance` has a `Map<String, String> metadata` field which is populated from a services `meta` field. To populate the `meta` field set values on `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.metadata` or `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.management-metadata` properties. .application.yml
spring: cloud: consul: discovery: metadata: myfield: myvalue anotherfield: anothervalue
The above configuration will result in a service who's meta field contains `myfield->myvalue` and `anotherfield->anothervalue`. ===== Generated Metadata The Consul Auto Registration will generate a few entries automatically. .Auto Generated Metadata |=== | Key | Value | 'group' | Property `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.instance-group`. This values is only generated if `instance-group` is not empty.' | 'secure' | True if property `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.scheme` equals 'https', otherwise false. | Property `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.default-zone-metadata-name`, defaults to 'zone' | Property `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.instance-zone`. This values is only generated if `instance-zone` is not empty.' |=== WARNING: Older versions of Spring Cloud Consul populated the `ServiceInstance.getMetadata()` method from Spring Cloud Commons by parsing the `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.tags` property. This is no longer supported, please migrate to using the `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.metadata` map. ==== Making the Consul Instance ID Unique By default a consul instance is registered with an ID that is equal to its Spring Application Context ID. By default, the Spring Application Context ID is `${spring.application.name}:comma,separated,profiles:${server.port}`. For most cases, this will allow multiple instances of one service to run on one machine. If further uniqueness is required, Using Spring Cloud you can override this by providing a unique identifier in `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.instanceId`. For example: .application.yml
spring: cloud: consul: discovery: instanceId: ${spring.application.name}:${vcap.application.instance_id:${spring.application.instance_id:${random.value}}}
With this metadata, and multiple service instances deployed on localhost, the random value will kick in there to make the instance unique. In Cloudfoundry the `vcap.application.instance_id` will be populated automatically in a Spring Boot application, so the random value will not be needed. === Looking up services ==== Using Load-balancer Spring Cloud has support for https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/spring-cloud-netflix.adoc#spring-cloud-feign[Feign] (a REST client builder) and also https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#rest-template-loadbalancer-client[Spring `RestTemplate`] for looking up services using the logical service names/ids instead of physical URLs. Both Feign and the discovery-aware RestTemplate utilize https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#spring-cloud-loadbalancer[Spring Cloud LoadBalancer] for client-side load balancing. If you want to access service STORES using the RestTemplate simply declare:
@LoadBalanced @Bean public RestTemplate loadbalancedRestTemplate() { return new RestTemplate(); }
and use it like this (notice how we use the STORES service name/id from Consul instead of a fully qualified domainname):
@Autowired RestTemplate restTemplate;
public String getFirstProduct() { return this.restTemplate.getForObject("https://STORES/products/1", String.class); }
If you have Consul clusters in multiple datacenters and you want to access a service in another datacenter a service name/id alone is not enough. In that case you use property `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.datacenters.STORES=dc-west` where `STORES` is the service name/id and `dc-west` is the datacenter where the STORES service lives. TIP: Spring Cloud now also offers support for https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/reference/html/#_spring_resttemplate_as_a_load_balancer_client[Spring Cloud LoadBalancer]. ==== Using the DiscoveryClient You can also use the `org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.DiscoveryClient` which provides a simple API for discovery clients that is not specific to Netflix, e.g.
@Autowired private DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;
public String serviceUrl() { List<ServiceInstance> list = discoveryClient.getInstances("STORES"); if (list != null && list.size() > 0 ) { return list.get(0).getUri(); } return null; }
=== Consul Catalog Watch The Consul Catalog Watch takes advantage of the ability of consul to https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/watches.html#services[watch services]. The Catalog Watch makes a blocking Consul HTTP API call to determine if any services have changed. If there is new service data a Heartbeat Event is published. To change the frequency of when the Config Watch is called change `spring.cloud.consul.config.discovery.catalog-services-watch-delay`. The default value is 1000, which is in milliseconds. The delay is the amount of time after the end of the previous invocation and the start of the next. To disable the Catalog Watch set `spring.cloud.consul.discovery.catalogServicesWatch.enabled=false`. The watch uses a Spring `TaskScheduler` to schedule the call to consul. By default it is a `ThreadPoolTaskScheduler` with a `poolSize` of 1. To change the `TaskScheduler`, create a bean of type `TaskScheduler` named with the `ConsulDiscoveryClientConfiguration.CATALOG_WATCH_TASK_SCHEDULER_NAME` constant. [[spring-cloud-consul-config]] == Distributed Configuration with Consul Consul provides a https://consul.io/docs/agent/http/kv.html[Key/Value Store] for storing configuration and other metadata. Spring Cloud Consul Config is an alternative to the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config[Config Server and Client]. Configuration is loaded into the Spring Environment during the special "bootstrap" phase. Configuration is stored in the `/config` folder by default. Multiple `PropertySource` instances are created based on the application's name and the active profiles that mimics the Spring Cloud Config order of resolving properties. For example, an application with the name "testApp" and with the "dev" profile will have the following property sources created:
config/testApp,dev/ config/testApp/ config/application,dev/ config/application/
The most specific property source is at the top, with the least specific at the bottom. Properties in the `config/application` folder are applicable to all applications using consul for configuration. Properties in the `config/testApp` folder are only available to the instances of the service named "testApp". Configuration is currently read on startup of the application. Sending a HTTP POST to `/refresh` will cause the configuration to be reloaded. <<spring-cloud-consul-config-watch>> will also automatically detect changes and reload the application context. === How to activate To get started with Consul Configuration use the starter with group `org.springframework.cloud` and artifact id `spring-cloud-starter-consul-config`. See the https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/[Spring Cloud Project page] for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train. [[config-data-import]] === Spring Boot Config Data Import Spring Boot 2.4 introduced a new way to import configuration data via the `spring.config.import` property. This is now the default way to get configuration from Consul. To optionally connect to Consul set the following in application.properties: .application.properties [source,properties]
spring.config.import=optional:consul:
This will connect to the Consul Agent at the default location of "http://localhost:8500". Removing the `optional:` prefix will cause Consul Config to fail if it is unable to connect to Consul. To change the connection properties of Consul Config either set `spring.cloud.consul.host` and `spring.cloud.consul.port` or add the host/port pair to the `spring.config.import` statement such as, `spring.config.import=optional:consul:myhost:8500`. The location in the import property has precedence over the host and port propertie. Consul Config will try to load values from four automatic contexts based on `spring.cloud.consul.config.name` (which defaults to the value of the `spring.application.name` property) and `spring.cloud.consul.config.default-context` (which defaults to `application`). If you want to specify the contexts rather than using the computed ones, you can add that information to the `spring.config.import` statement. .application.properties [source,properties]
spring.config.import=optional:consul:myhost:8500/contextone;/context/two
This will optionally load configuration only from `/contextone` and `/context/two`. NOTE: A `bootstrap` file (properties or yaml) is *not* needed for the Spring Boot Config Data method of import via `spring.config.import`. === Customizing Consul Config may be customized using the following properties: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: consul: config: enabled: true prefix: configuration defaultContext: apps profileSeparator: '::'
CAUTION: If you have set `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true` or `spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true`, or included `spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap`, then the above values will need to be placed in `bootstrap.yml` instead of `application.yml`. * `enabled` setting this value to "false" disables Consul Config * `prefix` sets the base folder for configuration values * `defaultContext` sets the folder name used by all applications * `profileSeparator` sets the value of the separator used to separate the profile name in property sources with profiles [[spring-cloud-consul-config-watch]] === Config Watch The Consul Config Watch takes advantage of the ability of consul to https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/watches.html#keyprefix[watch a key prefix]. The Config Watch makes a blocking Consul HTTP API call to determine if any relevant configuration data has changed for the current application. If there is new configuration data a Refresh Event is published. This is equivalent to calling the `/refresh` actuator endpoint. To change the frequency of when the Config Watch is called change `spring.cloud.consul.config.watch.delay`. The default value is 1000, which is in milliseconds. The delay is the amount of time after the end of the previous invocation and the start of the next. To disable the Config Watch set `spring.cloud.consul.config.watch.enabled=false`. The watch uses a Spring `TaskScheduler` to schedule the call to consul. By default it is a `ThreadPoolTaskScheduler` with a `poolSize` of 1. To change the `TaskScheduler`, create a bean of type `TaskScheduler` named with the `ConsulConfigAutoConfiguration.CONFIG_WATCH_TASK_SCHEDULER_NAME` constant. [[spring-cloud-consul-config-format]] === YAML or Properties with Config It may be more convenient to store a blob of properties in YAML or Properties format as opposed to individual key/value pairs. Set the `spring.cloud.consul.config.format` property to `YAML` or `PROPERTIES`. For example to use YAML: [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: consul: config: format: YAML
CAUTION: If you have set `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true` or `spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true`, or included `spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap`, then the above values will need to be placed in `bootstrap.yml` instead of `application.yml`. YAML must be set in the appropriate `data` key in consul. Using the defaults above the keys would look like:
config/testApp,dev/data config/testApp/data config/application,dev/data config/application/data
You could store a YAML document in any of the keys listed above. You can change the data key using `spring.cloud.consul.config.data-key`. [[spring-cloud-consul-config-git2consul]] === git2consul with Config git2consul is a Consul community project that loads files from a git repository to individual keys into Consul. By default the names of the keys are names of the files. YAML and Properties files are supported with file extensions of `.yml` and `.properties` respectively. Set the `spring.cloud.consul.config.format` property to `FILES`. For example: .bootstrap.yml
spring: cloud: consul: config: format: FILES
Given the following keys in `/config`, the `development` profile and an application name of `foo`:
application.yml bar.properties foo-development.properties foo-production.yml foo.properties master.ref
the following property sources would be created:
config/foo-development.properties config/foo.properties config/application.yml
The value of each key needs to be a properly formatted YAML or Properties file. [[spring-cloud-consul-failfast]] === Fail Fast It may be convenient in certain circumstances (like local development or certain test scenarios) to not fail if consul isn't available for configuration. Setting `spring.cloud.consul.config.fail-fast=false` will cause the configuration module to log a warning rather than throw an exception. This will allow the application to continue startup normally. CAUTION: If you have set `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true` or `spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true`, or included `spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap`, then the above values will need to be placed in `bootstrap.yml` instead of `application.yml`. [[spring-cloud-consul-retry]] == Consul Retry If you expect that the consul agent may occasionally be unavailable when your app starts, you can ask it to keep trying after a failure. You need to add `spring-retry` and `spring-boot-starter-aop` to your classpath. The default behaviour is to retry 6 times with an initial backoff interval of 1000ms and an exponential multiplier of 1.1 for subsequent backoffs. You can configure these properties (and others) using `spring.cloud.consul.retry.*` configuration properties. This works with both Spring Cloud Consul Config and Discovery registration. TIP: To take full control of the retry add a `@Bean` of type `RetryOperationsInterceptor` with id "consulRetryInterceptor". Spring Retry has a `RetryInterceptorBuilder` that makes it easy to create one. [[spring-cloud-consul-bus]] == Spring Cloud Bus with Consul === How to activate To get started with the Consul Bus use the starter with group `org.springframework.cloud` and artifact id `spring-cloud-starter-consul-bus`. See the https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/[Spring Cloud Project page] for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train. See the https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-bus/[Spring Cloud Bus] documentation for the available actuator endpoints and howto send custom messages. [[spring-cloud-consul-hystrix]] == Circuit Breaker with Hystrix Applications can use the Hystrix Circuit Breaker provided by the Spring Cloud Netflix project by including this starter in the projects pom.xml: `spring-cloud-starter-hystrix`. Hystrix doesn't depend on the Netflix Discovery Client. The `@EnableHystrix` annotation should be placed on a configuration class (usually the main class). Then methods can be annotated with `@HystrixCommand` to be protected by a circuit breaker. See https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/spring-cloud.html#_circuit_breaker_hystrix_clients[the documentation] for more details. [[spring-cloud-consul-turbine]] == Hystrix metrics aggregation with Turbine and Consul Turbine (provided by the Spring Cloud Netflix project), aggregates multiple instances Hystrix metrics streams, so the dashboard can display an aggregate view. Turbine uses the `DiscoveryClient` interface to lookup relevant instances. To use Turbine with Spring Cloud Consul, configure the Turbine application in a manner similar to the following examples: .pom.xml
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-netflix-turbine</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-consul-discovery</artifactId> </dependency>
Notice that the Turbine dependency is not a starter. The turbine starter includes support for Netflix Eureka. .application.yml
spring.application.name: turbine applications: consulhystrixclient turbine: aggregator: clusterConfig: ${applications} appConfig: ${applications}
The `clusterConfig` and `appConfig` sections must match, so it's useful to put the comma-separated list of service ID's into a separate configuration property. .Turbine.java
@EnableTurbine @SpringBootApplication public class Turbine { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(DemoturbinecommonsApplication.class, args); } }

It abstracts away all of the transport details and infrastructure, allowing the developer to keep all the familiar tools and processes, and focus firmly on business logic. Here's a complete, executable, testable Spring Boot application (implementing a simple string manipulation): [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class Application {
@Bean public Function<Flux<String>, Flux<String>> uppercase() { return flux -> flux.map(value -> value.toUpperCase()); }
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } }
It's just a Spring Boot application, so it can be built, run and tested, locally and in a CI build, the same way as any other Spring Boot application. The `Function` is from `java.util` and `Flux` is a https://www.reactive-streams.org/[Reactive Streams] `Publisher` from https://projectreactor.io/[Project Reactor]. The function can be accessed over HTTP or messaging. Spring Cloud Function has 4 main features: In the nutshell Spring Cloud Function provides the following features: 1. Wrappers for `@Beans` of type `Function`, `Consumer` and `Supplier`, exposing them to the outside world as either HTTP endpoints and/or message stream listeners/publishers with RabbitMQ, Kafka etc. * _Choice of programming styles - reactive, imperative or hybrid._ * _Function composition and adaptation (e.g., composing imperative functions with reactive)._ * _Support for reactive function with multiple inputs and outputs allowing merging, joining and other complex streaming operation to be handled by functions._ * _Transparent type conversion of inputs and outputs._ * _Packaging functions for deployments, specific to the target platform (e.g., Project Riff, AWS Lambda and more)_ * _Adapters to expose function to the outside world as HTTP endpoints etc._ * _Deploying a JAR file containing such an application context with an isolated classloader, so that you can pack them together in a single JVM._ * _Compiling strings which are Java function bodies into bytecode, and then turning them into `@Beans` that can be wrapped as above._ * _Adapters for https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-adapters/spring-cloud-function-adapter-aws[AWS Lambda], https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-adapters/spring-cloud-function-adapter-azure[Azure], https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-adapters/spring-cloud-function-adapter-gcp[Google Cloud Functions], https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-adapters/spring-cloud-function-adapter-openwhisk[Apache OpenWhisk] and possibly other "serverless" service providers._ NOTE: Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license. If you would like to contribute to this section of the documentation or if you find an error, please find the source code and issue trackers in the project at {github-project}[github]. == Getting Started Build from the command line (and "install" the samples):
$ ./mvnw clean install
(If you like to YOLO add `-DskipTests`.) Run one of the samples, e.g.
$ java -jar spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample/target/*.jar
This runs the app and exposes its functions over HTTP, so you can convert a string to uppercase, like this:
$ curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" localhost:8080/uppercase -d Hello HELLO
You can convert multiple strings (a `Flux<String>`) by separating them with new lines
$ curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" localhost:8080/uppercase -d 'Hello > World' HELLOWORLD
(You can use `^Q^J` in a terminal to insert a new line in a literal string like that.) == Programming model === Function Catalog and Flexible Function Signatures One of the main features of Spring Cloud Function is to adapt and support a range of type signatures for user-defined functions, while providing a consistent execution model. That's why all user defined functions are transformed into a canonical representation by `FunctionCatalog`. While users don't normally have to care about the `FunctionCatalog` at all, it is useful to know what kind of functions are supported in user code. It is also important to understand that Spring Cloud Function provides first class support for reactive API provided by https://projectreactor.io/[Project Reactor] allowing reactive primitives such as `Mono` and `Flux` to be used as types in user defined functions providing greater flexibility when choosing programming model for your function implementation. Reactive programming model also enables functional support for features that would be otherwise difficult to impossible to implement using imperative programming style. For more on this please read <<Function Arity>> section. === Java 8 function support Spring Cloud Function embraces and builds on top of the 3 core functional interfaces defined by Java and available to us since Java 8. - Supplier<O> - Function<I, O> - Consumer<I> ==== Supplier Supplier can be _reactive_ - `Supplier<Flux<T>>` or _imperative_ - `Supplier<T>`. From the invocation standpoint this should make no difference to the implementor of such Supplier. However, when used within frameworks (e.g., https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-stream[Spring Cloud Stream]), Suppliers, especially reactive, often used to represent the source of the stream, therefore they are invoked once to get the stream (e.g., Flux) to which consumers can subscribe to. In other words such suppliers represent an equivalent of an _infinite stream_. However, the same reactive suppliers can also represent _finite_ stream(s) (e.g., result set on the polled JDBC data). In those cases such reactive suppliers must be hooked up to some polling mechanism of the underlying framework. To assist with that Spring Cloud Function provides a marker annotation `org.springframework.cloud.function.context.PollableSupplier` to signal that such supplier produces a finite stream and may need to be polled again. That said, it is important to understand that Spring Cloud Function itself provides no behavior for this annotation. In addition `PollableSupplier` annotation exposes a _splittable_ attribute to signal that produced stream needs to be split (see https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/patterns/messaging/Sequencer.html[Splitter EIP]) Here is the example: [source, java]
@PollableSupplier(splittable = true) public Supplier<Flux<String>> someSupplier() { return () → { String v1 = String.valueOf(System.nanoTime()); String v2 = String.valueOf(System.nanoTime()); String v3 = String.valueOf(System.nanoTime()); return Flux.just(v1, v2, v3); }; }
==== Function Function can also be written in imperative or reactive way, yet unlike Supplier and Consumer there are no special considerations for the implementor other then understanding that when used within frameworks such as https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-stream[Spring Cloud Stream] and others, reactive function is invoked only once to pass a reference to the stream (Flux or Mono) and imperative is invoked once per event. ==== Consumer Consumer is a little bit special because it has a `void` return type, which implies blocking, at least potentially. Most likely you will not need to write `Consumer<Flux<?>>`, but if you do need to do that, remember to subscribe to the input flux. === Function Composition Function Composition is a feature that allows one to compose several functions into one. The core support is based on function composition feature available with https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/function/Function.html#andThen-java.util.function.Function-[Function.andThen(..)] support available since Java 8. However on top of it, we provide few additional features. ==== Declarative Function Composition This feature allows you to provide composition instruction in a declarative way using `|` (pipe) or `,` (comma) delimiter when providing `spring.cloud.function.definition` property. For example
--spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase|reverse
Here we effectively provided a definition of a single function which itself is a composition of function `uppercase` and function `reverse`. In fact that is one of the reasons why the property name is _definition_ and not _name_, since the definition of a function can be a composition of several named functions. And as mentioned you can use `,` instead of pipe (such as `...definition=uppercase,reverse`). ==== Composing non-Functions Spring Cloud Function also supports composing Supplier with `Consumer` or `Function` as well as `Function` with `Consumer`. What's important here is to understand the end product of such definitions. Composing Supplier with Function still results in Supplier while composing Supplier with Consumer will effectively render Runnable. Following the same logic composing Function with Consumer will result in Consumer. And of course you can't compose uncomposable such as Consumer and Function, Consumer and Supplier etc. === Function Routing and Filtering Since version 2.2 Spring Cloud Function provides routing feature allowing you to invoke a single function which acts as a router to an actual function you wish to invoke This feature is very useful in certain FAAS environments where maintaining configurations for several functions could be cumbersome or exposing more then one function is not possible. The `RoutingFunction` is registered in _FunctionCatalog_ under the name `functionRouter`. For simplicity and consistency you can also refer to `RoutingFunction.FUNCTION_NAME` constant. This function has the following signature: [source, java]
public class RoutingFunction implements Function<Object, Object> { . . . }
The routing instructions could be communicated in several ways. We support providing instructions via Message headers, System properties as well as pluggable strategy. So let's look at some of the details *MessageRoutingCallback* The `MessageRoutingCallback` is a strategy to assist with determining the name of the route-to function definition. [source, java]
public interface MessageRoutingCallback {
/** * Determines the name of the function definition to route incoming {@link Message}. * * @param message instance of incoming {@link Message} * @return the name of the route-to function definition */ String functionDefinition(Message<?> message); }
All you need to do is implement it and and register it as a bean. The framework will automatically pick it up and use it for routing decisions. For example [source, java]
@Bean public MessageRoutingCallback customRouter() { return new MessageRoutingCallback() { @Override public String functionDefinition(Message<?> message) { return (String) message.getHeaders().get("func_name"); } }; }
In the preceding example you can see a very simple implementation of `MessageRoutingCallback` which determines the function definition from `func_name` header of the incoming Message. *Message Headers* If the input argument is of type `Message<?>`, you can communicate routing instruction by setting one of `spring.cloud.function.definition` or `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` Message headers. For more static cases you can use `spring.cloud.function.definition` header which allows you to provide the name of a single function (e.g., `...definition=foo`) or a composition instruction (e.g., `...definition=foo|bar|baz`). For more dynamic cases you can use `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` header which allows you to use Spring Expression Language (SpEL) and provide SpEL expression that should resolve into definition of a function (as described above). NOTE: SpEL evaluation context's root object is the actual input argument, so in the case of `Message<?>` you can construct expression that has access to both `payload` and `headers` (e.g., `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression=headers.function_name`). In specific execution environments/models the adapters are responsible to translate and communicate `spring.cloud.function.definition` and/or `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` via Message header. For example, when using _spring-cloud-function-web_ you can provide `spring.cloud.function.definition` as an HTTP header and the framework will propagate it as well as other HTTP headers as Message headers. *Application Properties* Routing instruction can also be communicated via `spring.cloud.function.definition` or `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` as application properties. The rules described in the previous section apply here as well. The only difference is you provide these instructions as application properties (e.g., `--spring.cloud.function.definition=foo`). NOTE: It is important to understand that providing `spring.cloud.function.definition` or `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` as Message headers will only work for imperative functions (e.g., `Function<Foo, Bar>`). That is to say that we can _only_ route ***per-message*** with imperative functions. With reactive functions we can not route ***per-message***. Therefore you can only provide your routing instructions as Application Properties. It's all about unit-of-work. In imperative function unit of work is Message so we can route based on such unit-of-work. With reactive function unit-of-work is the entire stream, so we'll act only on the instruction provided via application properties and route the entire stream. *Order of priority for routing instructions* Given that we have several mechanisms of providing routing instructions it is important to understand the priorities for conflict resolutions in the event multiple mechanisms are used at the same time, so here is the order: 1. `MessageRoutingCallback` (If function is imperative will take over regardless if anything else is defined) 2. Message Headers (If function is imperative and no `MessageRoutingCallback` provided) 3. Application Properties (Any function) *Function Filtering* Filtering is the type of routing where there are only two paths - 'go' or 'discard'. In terms of functions it mean you only want to invoke a certain function if some condition returns 'true', otherwise you want to discard input. However, when it comes to discarding input there are many interpretation of what it could mean in the context of your application. For example, you may want to log it, or you may want to maintain the counter of discarded messages. you may also want to do nothing at all. Because of these different paths, we do not provide a general configuration option for how to deal with discarded messages. Instead we simply recommend to define a simple Consumer which would signify the 'discard' path: [source, java]
@Bean public Consumer<?> devNull() { // log, count or whatever }
Now you can have routing expression that really only has two paths effectively becoming a filter. For example: [source, text]
--spring.cloud.function.routing-expression=headers.contentType.toString().equals('text/plain') ? 'echo' : 'devNull'
Every message that does not fit criteria to go to 'echo' function will go to 'devNull' where you can simply do nothing with it. The signature `Consumer<?>` will also ensure that no type conversion will be attempted resulting in almost no execution overhead. IMPORTANT: When dealing with reactive inputs (e.g., Publisher), routing instructions must only be provided via Function properties. This is due to the nature of the reactive functions which are invoked only once to pass a Publisher and the rest is handled by the reactor, hence we can not access and/or rely on the routing instructions communicated via individual values (e.g., Message). === Input Enrichment There are often times when you need to modify or refine an incoming Message and to keep your code clean of non-functional concerns, and you don’t want to do it inside of your business logic. You can always accomplish it via <<Function Composition>>. Such approach provides several benefits: - It allows you to isolate this non-functional concern into a separate function which you can compose with the business function as function definition. - It provides you with complete freedom (and danger) as to what you can modify before incoming message reaches the actual business function. [source, java]
@Bean public Function<Message<?>, Message<?>> enrich() { return message → MessageBuilder.fromMessage(message).setHeader("foo", "bar").build(); }
@Bean public Function<Message<?>, Message<?>> myBusinessFunction() { // do whatever }
And then compose your function by providing the following function definition `enrich|myBusinessFunction`. While the described approach is the most flexible, it is also the most involved as it requires you to write some code, make it a bean or manually register it as a function before you can compose it with the business function as you can see from the preceding example. But what if modifications (enrichments) you are trying to make are trivial as they are in the preceding example? Is there a simpler and more dynamic and configurable mechanism to accomplish the same? Since version 3.1.3, the framework allows you to provide SpEL expression to enrich individual message headers. Let’s look at one of the tests as the example. [source, java]
@Test public void testInputHeaderMappingPropertyWithoutIndex() throws Exception { try (ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder( SampleFunctionConfiguration.class).web(WebApplicationType.NONE).run( "--spring.cloud.function.configuration.echo.input-header-mapping-expression.key1='hello1'", "--spring.cloud.function.configuration.echo.input-header-mapping-expression.key2='hello2'", "--spring.cloud.function.configuration.echo.input-header-mapping-expression.foo=headers.contentType")) {
FunctionCatalog functionCatalog = context.getBean(FunctionCatalog.class); FunctionInvocationWrapper function = functionCatalog.lookup("echo"); function.apply(MessageBuilder.withPayload("helo") .setHeader(MessageHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json").build()); } }
Here you see a property called `input-header-mapping-expression` preceded by the name of the function (i.e., `echo`) and followed by the name of the message header key you want to set and the value as SpEL expression. The first two expressions (for 'key1' and 'key2') are literal SpEL expressions enclosed in single quotes, effectively setting 'key1' to value `hello1` and 'key2' to value `hello2`. The third one will map Message header ‘foo’ to the value of the current ‘contentType’ header. NOTE: if for whatever reason the provided expression evaluation fails, the execution of the function will proceed as if nothing ever happen. However you will see the WARN message in your logs informing you about it [source, text]
o.s.c.f.context.catalog.InputEnricher : Failed while evaluating expression "hello1" on incoming message. . .
In the event you are dealing with functions that have multiple inputs (next section), you can use index immediately after `input-header-mapping-expression` [source, text]
--spring.cloud.function.configuration.echo.input-header-mapping-expression[0].key1=‘hello1' --spring.cloud.function.configuration.echo.input-header-mapping-expression[1].key2='hello2'
=== Function Arity There are times when a stream of data needs to be categorized and organized. For example, consider a classic big-data use case of dealing with unorganized data containing, let’s say, ‘orders’ and ‘invoices’, and you want each to go into a separate data store. This is where function arity (functions with multiple inputs and outputs) support comes to play. Let’s look at an example of such a function (full implementation details are available https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream/blob/master/spring-cloud-stream/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/stream/function/MultipleInputOutputFunctionTests.java#L342[here]), [source, java]
@Bean public Function<Flux<Integer>, Tuple2<Flux<String>, Flux<String>>> organise() { return flux → …; }
Given that Project Reactor is a core dependency of SCF, we are using its Tuple library. Tuples give us a unique advantage by communicating to us both _cardinality_ and _type_ information. Both are extremely important in the context of SCSt. Cardinality lets us know how many input and output bindings need to be created and bound to the corresponding inputs and outputs of a function. Awareness of the type information ensures proper type conversion. Also, this is where the ‘index’ part of the naming convention for binding names comes into play, since, in this function, the two output binding names are `organise-out-0` and `organise-out-1`. IMPORTANT: IMPORTANT: At the moment, function arity is *only* supported for reactive functions (`Function<TupleN<Flux<?>...>, TupleN<Flux<?>...>>`) centered on Complex event processing where evaluation and computation on confluence of events typically requires view into a stream of events rather than single event. === Type conversion (Content-Type negotiation) Content-Type negotiation is one of the core features of Spring Cloud Function as it allows to not only transform the incoming data to the types declared by the function signature, but to do the same transformation during function composition making otherwise un-composable (by type) functions composable. To better understand the mechanics and the necessity behind content-type negotiation, we take a look at a very simple use case by using the following function as an example: [source, java]
@Bean public Function<Person, String> personFunction {..}
The function shown in the preceding example expects a `Person` object as an argument and produces a String type as an output. If such function is invoked with the type `Person`, than all works fine. But typically function plays a role of a handler for the incoming data which most often comes in the raw format such as `byte[]`, `JSON String` etc. In order for the framework to succeed in passing the incoming data as an argument to this function, it has to somehow transform the incoming data to a `Person` type. Spring Cloud Function relies on two native to Spring mechanisms to accomplish that. . _MessageConverter_ - to convert from incoming Message data to a type declared by the function. . _ConversionService_ - to convert from incoming non-Message data to a type declared by the function. This means that depending on the type of the raw data (Message or non-Message) Spring Cloud Function will apply one or the other mechanisms. For most cases when dealing with functions that are invoked as part of some other request (e.g., HTTP, Messaging etc) the framework relies on `MessageConverters`, since such requests already converted to Spring `Message`. In other words, the framework locates and applies the appropriate `MessageConverter`. To accomplish that, the framework needs some instructions from the user. One of these instructions is already provided by the signature of the function itself (Person type). Consequently, in theory, that should be (and, in some cases, is) enough. However, for the majority of use cases, in order to select the appropriate `MessageConverter`, the framework needs an additional piece of information. That missing piece is `contentType` header. Such header usually comes as part of the Message where it is injected by the corresponding adapter that created such Message in the first place. For example, HTTP POST request will have its content-type HTTP header copied to `contentType` header of the Message. For cases when such header does not exist framework relies on the default content type as `application/json`. ==== Content Type versus Argument Type As mentioned earlier, for the framework to select the appropriate `MessageConverter`, it requires argument type and, optionally, content type information. The logic for selecting the appropriate `MessageConverter` resides with the argument resolvers which trigger right before the invocation of the user-defined function (which is when the actual argument type is known to the framework). If the argument type does not match the type of the current payload, the framework delegates to the stack of the pre-configured `MessageConverters` to see if any one of them can convert the payload. The combination of `contentType` and argument type is the mechanism by which framework determines if message can be converted to a target type by locating the appropriate `MessageConverter`. If no appropriate `MessageConverter` is found, an exception is thrown, which you can handle by adding a custom `MessageConverter` (see `<<user-defined-message-converters>>`). NOTE: Do not expect `Message` to be converted into some other type based only on the `contentType`. Remember that the `contentType` is complementary to the target type. It is a hint, which `MessageConverter` may or may not take into consideration. ==== Message Converters `MessageConverters` define two methods: [source, java]
Object fromMessage(Message<?> message, Class<?> targetClass);
Message<?> toMessage(Object payload, @Nullable MessageHeaders headers);
It is important to understand the contract of these methods and their usage, specifically in the context of Spring Cloud Stream. The `fromMessage` method converts an incoming `Message` to an argument type. The payload of the `Message` could be any type, and it is up to the actual implementation of the `MessageConverter` to support multiple types. ==== Provided MessageConverters As mentioned earlier, the framework already provides a stack of `MessageConverters` to handle most common use cases. The following list describes the provided `MessageConverters`, in order of precedence (the first `MessageConverter` that works is used): . `JsonMessageConverter`: Supports conversion of the payload of the `Message` to/from POJO for cases when `contentType` is `application/json` using Jackson or Gson libraries (DEFAULT). . `ByteArrayMessageConverter`: Supports conversion of the payload of the `Message` from `byte[]` to `byte[]` for cases when `contentType` is `application/octet-stream`. It is essentially a pass through and exists primarily for backward compatibility. . `StringMessageConverter`: Supports conversion of any type to a `String` when `contentType` is `text/plain`. When no appropriate converter is found, the framework throws an exception. When that happens, you should check your code and configuration and ensure you did not miss anything (that is, ensure that you provided a `contentType` by using a binding or a header). However, most likely, you found some uncommon case (such as a custom `contentType` perhaps) and the current stack of provided `MessageConverters` does not know how to convert. If that is the case, you can add custom `MessageConverter`. See <<user-defined-message-converters>>. [[user-defined-message-converters]] ==== User-defined Message Converters Spring Cloud Function exposes a mechanism to define and register additional `MessageConverters`. To use it, implement `org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter`, configure it as a `@Bean`. It is then appended to the existing stack of `MessageConverter`s. NOTE: It is important to understand that custom `MessageConverter` implementations are added to the head of the existing stack. Consequently, custom `MessageConverter` implementations take precedence over the existing ones, which lets you override as well as add to the existing converters. The following example shows how to create a message converter bean to support a new content type called `application/bar`: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SinkApplication {
...
@Bean public MessageConverter customMessageConverter() { return new MyCustomMessageConverter(); } }
public class MyCustomMessageConverter extends AbstractMessageConverter {
public MyCustomMessageConverter() { super(new MimeType("application", "bar")); }
@Override protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz) { return (Bar.class.equals(clazz)); }
@Override protected Object convertFromInternal(Message<?> message, Class<?> targetClass, Object conversionHint) { Object payload = message.getPayload(); return (payload instanceof Bar ? payload : new Bar((byte[]) payload)); } }
==== Note on JSON options In Spring Cloud Function we support Jackson and Gson mechanisms to deal with JSON. And for your benefit have abstracted it under `org.springframework.cloud.function.json.JsonMapper` which itself is aware of two mechanisms and will use the one selected by you or following the default rule. The default rules are as follows: * Whichever library is on the classpath that is the mechanism that is going to be used. So if you have `com.fasterxml.jackson.*` to the classpath, Jackson is going to be used and if you have `com.google.code.gson`, then Gson will be used. * If you have both, then Gson will be the default, or you can set `spring.cloud.function.preferred-json-mapper` property with either of two values: `gson` or `jackson`. That said, the type conversion is usually transparent to the developer, however given that `org.springframework.cloud.function.json.JsonMapper` is also registered as a bean you can easily inject it into your code if needed. === Kotlin Lambda support We also provide support for Kotlin lambdas (since v2.0). Consider the following: [source, java]
@Bean open fun kotlinSupplier(): () → String { return { "Hello from Kotlin" } }
@Bean open fun kotlinFunction(): (String) → String { return { it.toUpperCase() } }
@Bean open fun kotlinConsumer(): (String) → Unit { return { println(it) } }
The above represents Kotlin lambdas configured as Spring beans. The signature of each maps to a Java equivalent of `Supplier`, `Function` and `Consumer`, and thus supported/recognized signatures by the framework. While mechanics of Kotlin-to-Java mapping are outside of the scope of this documentation, it is important to understand that the same rules for signature transformation outlined in "Java 8 function support" section are applied here as well. To enable Kotlin support all you need is to add Kotlin SDK libraries on the classpath which will trigger appropriate autoconfiguration and supporting classes. === Function Component Scan Spring Cloud Function will scan for implementations of `Function`, `Consumer` and `Supplier` in a package called `functions` if it exists. Using this feature you can write functions that have no dependencies on Spring - not even the `@Component` annotation is needed. If you want to use a different package, you can set `spring.cloud.function.scan.packages`. You can also use `spring.cloud.function.scan.enabled=false` to switch off the scan completely. == Standalone Web Applications Functions could be automatically exported as HTTP endpoints. The `spring-cloud-function-web` module has autoconfiguration that activates when it is included in a Spring Boot web application (with MVC support). There is also a `spring-cloud-starter-function-web` to collect all the optional dependencies in case you just want a simple getting started experience. With the web configurations activated your app will have an MVC endpoint (on "/" by default, but configurable with `spring.cloud.function.web.path`) that can be used to access the functions in the application context where function name becomes part of the URL path. The supported content types are plain text and JSON. |=== | Method | Path | Request | Response | Status | GET | /{supplier} | - | Items from the named supplier | 200 OK | POST | /{consumer} | JSON object or text | Mirrors input and pushes request body into consumer | 202 Accepted | POST | /{consumer} | JSON array or text with new lines | Mirrors input and pushes body into consumer one by one | 202 Accepted | POST | /{function} | JSON object or text | The result of applying the named function | 200 OK | POST | /{function} | JSON array or text with new lines | The result of applying the named function | 200 OK | GET | /{function}/{item} | - | Convert the item into an object and return the result of applying the function | 200 OK |=== As the table above shows the behaviour of the endpoint depends on the method and also the type of incoming request data. When the incoming data is single valued, and the target function is declared as obviously single valued (i.e. not returning a collection or `Flux`), then the response will also contain a single value. For multi-valued responses the client can ask for a server-sent event stream by sending `Accept: text/event-stream". Functions and consumers that are declared with input and output in `Message<?>` will see the request headers on the input messages, and the output message headers will be converted to HTTP headers. When POSTing text the response format might be different with Spring Boot 2.0 and older versions, depending on the content negotiation (provide content type and accept headers for the best results). See <<Testing Functional Applications>> to see the details and example on how to test such application. === Function Mapping rules If there is only a single function (consumer etc.) in the catalog, the name in the path is optional. In other words, providing you only have `uppercase` function in catalog `curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" localhost:8080/uppercase -d hello` and `curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" localhost:8080/ -d hello` calls are identical. Composite functions can be addressed using pipes or commas to separate function names (pipes are legal in URL paths, but a bit awkward to type on the command line). For example, `curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" localhost:8080/uppercase,reverse -d hello`. For cases where there is more then a single function in catalog, each function will be exported and mapped with function name being part of the path (e.g., `localhost:8080/uppercase`). In this scenario you can still map specific function or function composition to the root path by providing `spring.cloud.function.definition` property For example,
--spring.cloud.function.definition=foo|bar
The above property will compose 'foo' and 'bar' function and map the composed function to the "/" path. The same property will also work for cases where function can not be resolved via URL. For example, your URL may be `localhost:8080/uppercase`, but there is no `uppercase` function. However there are function `foo` and `bar`. So, in this case `localhost:8080/uppercase` will resolve to `foo|bar`. This could be useful especially for cases when URL is used to communicate certain information since there will be Message header called `uri` with the value of the actual URL, giving user ability to use it for evaluation and computation. === Function Filtering rules In situations where there are more then one function in catalog there may be a need to only export certain functions or function compositions. In that case you can use the same `spring.cloud.function.definition` property listing functions you intend to export delimited by `;`. Note that in this case nothing will be mapped to the root path and functions that are not listed (including compositions) are not going to be exported For example,
--spring.cloud.function.definition=foo;bar
This will only export function `foo` and function `bar` regardless how many functions are available in catalog (e.g., `localhost:8080/foo`).
--spring.cloud.function.definition=foo|bar;baz
This will only export function composition `foo|bar` and function `baz` regardless how many functions are available in catalog (e.g., `localhost:8080/foo,bar`). == Standalone Streaming Applications To send or receive messages from a broker (such as RabbitMQ or Kafka) you can leverage `spring-cloud-stream` project and it's integration with Spring Cloud Function. Please refer to https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/spring-cloud-stream/current/reference/html/spring-cloud-stream.html#spring_cloud_function[Spring Cloud Function] section of the Spring Cloud Stream reference manual for more details and examples. == Deploying a Packaged Function Spring Cloud Function provides a "deployer" library that allows you to launch a jar file (or exploded archive, or set of jar files) with an isolated class loader and expose the functions defined in it. This is quite a powerful tool that would allow you to, for instance, adapt a function to a range of different input-output adapters without changing the target jar file. Serverless platforms often have this kind of feature built in, so you could see it as a building block for a function invoker in such a platform (indeed the https://projectriff.io[Riff] Java function invoker uses this library). The standard entry point is to add `spring-cloud-function-deployer` to the classpath, the deployer kicks in and looks for some configuration to tell it where to find the function jar. ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-function-deployer</artifactId> <version>${spring.cloud.function.version}</version> </dependency> ``` At a minimum the user has to provide a `spring.cloud.function.location` which is a URL or resource location for the archive containing the functions. It can optionally use a `maven:` prefix to locate the artifact via a dependency lookup (see `FunctionProperties` for complete details). A Spring Boot application is bootstrapped from the jar file, using the `MANIFEST.MF` to locate a start class, so that a standard Spring Boot fat jar works well, for example. If the target jar can be launched successfully then the result is a function registered in the main application's `FunctionCatalog`. The registered function can be applied by code in the main application, even though it was created in an isolated class loader (by deault). Here is the example of deploying a JAR which contains an 'uppercase' function and invoking it . ```java @SpringBootApplication public class DeployFunctionDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { ApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(DeployFunctionDemo.class, "--spring.cloud.function.location=..../target/uppercase-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar", "--spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase"); FunctionCatalog catalog = context.getBean(FunctionCatalog.class); Function<String, String> function = catalog.lookup("uppercase"); System.out.println(function.apply("hello")); } } ``` And here is the example using Maven URI (taken from one of the tests in `FunctionDeployerTests`): ```java @SpringBootApplication public class DeployFunctionDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { String[] args = new String[] { "--spring.cloud.function.location=maven://oz.demo:demo-uppercase:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT", "--spring.cloud.function.function-class=oz.demo.uppercase.MyFunction" }; ApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(DeployerApplication.class, args); FunctionCatalog catalog = context.getBean(FunctionCatalog.class); Function<String, String> function = catalog.lookup("myFunction"); assertThat(function.apply("bob")).isEqualTo("BOB"); } } ``` Keep in mind that Maven resource such as local and remote repositories, user, password and more are resolved using default MavenProperties which effectively use local defaults and will work for majority of cases. However if you need to customize you can simply provide a bean of type `MavenProperties` where you can set additional properties (see example below). ```java @Bean public MavenProperties mavenProperties() { MavenProperties properties = new MavenProperties(); properties.setLocalRepository("target/it/"); return properties; } ``` === Supported Packaging Scenarios Currently Spring Cloud Function supports several packaging scenarios to give you the most flexibility when it comes to deploying functions. ==== Simple JAR This packaging option implies no dependency on anything related to Spring. For example; Consider that such JAR contains the following class: ```java package function.example; . . . public class UpperCaseFunction implements Function<String, String> { @Override public String apply(String value) { return value.toUpperCase(); } } ``` All you need to do is specify `location` and `function-class` properties when deploying such package: ``` --spring.cloud.function.location=target/it/simplestjar/target/simplestjar-1.0.0.RELEASE.jar --spring.cloud.function.function-class=function.example.UpperCaseFunction ``` It's conceivable in some cases that you might want to package multiple functions together. For such scenarios you can use `spring.cloud.function.function-class` property to list several classes delimiting them by `;`. For example, ``` --spring.cloud.function.function-class=function.example.UpperCaseFunction;function.example.ReverseFunction ``` Here we are identifying two functions to deploy, which we can now access in function catalog by name (e.g., `catalog.lookup("reverseFunction");`). For more details please reference the complete sample available https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-deployer/src/it/simplestjar[here]. You can also find a corresponding test in https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/blob/master/spring-cloud-function-deployer/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/function/deployer/FunctionDeployerTests.java#L70[FunctionDeployerTests]. *** Component Scanning *** Since version 3.1.4 you can simplify your configuration thru component scanning feature described in <<Function Component Scan>>. If you place your functional class in package named `functions`, you can omit `spring.cloud.function.function-class` property as framework will auto-discover functional classes loading them in function catalog. Keep in mind the naming convention to follow when doing function lookup. For example function class `functions.UpperCaseFunction` will be available in `FunctionCatalog` under the name `upperCaseFunction`. ==== Spring Boot JAR This packaging option implies there is a dependency on Spring Boot and that the JAR was generated as Spring Boot JAR. That said, given that the deployed JAR runs in the isolated class loader, there will not be any version conflict with the Spring Boot version used by the actual deployer. For example; Consider that such JAR contains the following class (which could have some additional Spring dependencies providing Spring/Spring Boot is on the classpath): ```java package function.example; . . . public class UpperCaseFunction implements Function<String, String> { @Override public String apply(String value) { return value.toUpperCase(); } } ``` As before all you need to do is specify `location` and `function-class` properties when deploying such package: ``` --spring.cloud.function.location=target/it/simplestjar/target/simplestjar-1.0.0.RELEASE.jar --spring.cloud.function.function-class=function.example.UpperCaseFunction ``` For more details please reference the complete sample available https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-deployer/src/it/bootjar[here]. You can also find a corresponding test in https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/blob/master/spring-cloud-function-deployer/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/function/deployer/FunctionDeployerTests.java#L50[FunctionDeployerTests]. ==== Spring Boot Application This packaging option implies your JAR is complete stand alone Spring Boot application with functions as managed Spring beans. As before there is an obvious assumption that there is a dependency on Spring Boot and that the JAR was generated as Spring Boot JAR. That said, given that the deployed JAR runs in the isolated class loader, there will not be any version conflict with the Spring Boot version used by the actual deployer. For example; Consider that such JAR contains the following class: ```java package function.example; . . . @SpringBootApplication public class SimpleFunctionAppApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(SimpleFunctionAppApplication.class, args); } @Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); } } ``` Given that we're effectively dealing with another Spring Application context and that functions are spring managed beans, in addition to the `location` property we also specify `definition` property instead of `function-class`. ``` --spring.cloud.function.location=target/it/bootapp/target/bootapp-1.0.0.RELEASE-exec.jar --spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase ``` For more details please reference the complete sample available https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-deployer/src/it/bootapp[here]. You can also find a corresponding test in https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/blob/master/spring-cloud-function-deployer/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/function/deployer/FunctionDeployerTests.java#L164[FunctionDeployerTests]. NOTE: This particular deployment option may or may not have Spring Cloud Function on it's classpath. From the deployer perspective this doesn't matter. == Functional Bean Definitions :leveloffset: +1 Spring Cloud Function supports a "functional" style of bean declarations for small apps where you need fast startup. The functional style of bean declaration was a feature of Spring Framework 5.0 with significant enhancements in 5.1. == Comparing Functional with Traditional Bean Definitions Here's a vanilla Spring Cloud Function application from with the familiar `@Configuration` and `@Bean` declaration style: ```java @SpringBootApplication public class DemoApplication { @Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); } public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args); } } ``` Now for the functional beans: the user application code can be recast into "functional" form, like this: ```java @SpringBootConfiguration public class DemoApplication implements ApplicationContextInitializer<GenericApplicationContext> { public static void main(String[] args) { FunctionalSpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args); } public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); } @Override public void initialize(GenericApplicationContext context) { context.registerBean("demo", FunctionRegistration.class, () -> new FunctionRegistration<>(uppercase()) .type(FunctionType.from(String.class).to(String.class))); } } ``` The main differences are: * The main class is an `ApplicationContextInitializer`. * The `@Bean` methods have been converted to calls to `context.registerBean()` * The `@SpringBootApplication` has been replaced with `@SpringBootConfiguration` to signify that we are not enabling Spring Boot autoconfiguration, and yet still marking the class as an "entry point". * The `SpringApplication` from Spring Boot has been replaced with a `FunctionalSpringApplication` from Spring Cloud Function (it's a subclass). The business logic beans that you register in a Spring Cloud Function app are of type `FunctionRegistration`. This is a wrapper that contains both the function and information about the input and output types. In the `@Bean` form of the application that information can be derived reflectively, but in a functional bean registration some of it is lost unless we use a `FunctionRegistration`. An alternative to using an `ApplicationContextInitializer` and `FunctionRegistration` is to make the application itself implement `Function` (or `Consumer` or `Supplier`). Example (equivalent to the above): ```java @SpringBootConfiguration public class DemoApplication implements Function<String, String> { public static void main(String[] args) { FunctionalSpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args); } @Override public String apply(String value) { return value.toUpperCase(); } } ``` It would also work if you add a separate, standalone class of type `Function` and register it with the `SpringApplication` using an alternative form of the `run()` method. The main thing is that the generic type information is available at runtime through the class declaration. Suppose you have [source, java]
@Component public class CustomFunction implements Function<Flux<Foo>, Flux<Bar>> { @Override public Flux<Bar> apply(Flux<Foo> flux) { return flux.map(foo → new Bar("This is a Bar object from Foo value: " + foo.getValue())); }
}
You register it as such: [source, java]
@Override public void initialize(GenericApplicationContext context) { context.registerBean("function", FunctionRegistration.class, () → new FunctionRegistration<>(new CustomFunction()).type(CustomFunction.class)); }
== Limitations of Functional Bean Declaration Most Spring Cloud Function apps have a relatively small scope compared to the whole of Spring Boot, so we are able to adapt it to these functional bean definitions easily. If you step outside that limited scope, you can extend your Spring Cloud Function app by switching back to `@Bean` style configuration, or by using a hybrid approach. If you want to take advantage of Spring Boot autoconfiguration for integrations with external datastores, for example, you will need to use `@EnableAutoConfiguration`. Your functions can still be defined using the functional declarations if you want (i.e. the "hybrid" style), but in that case you will need to explicitly switch off the "full functional mode" using `spring.functional.enabled=false` so that Spring Boot can take back control. = Testing Functional Applications Spring Cloud Function also has some utilities for integration testing that will be very familiar to Spring Boot users. Suppose this is your application: [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleFunctionApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(SampleFunctionApplication.class, args); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return v -> v.toUpperCase(); } }
Here is an integration test for the HTTP server wrapping this application: [source, java]
@SpringBootTest(classes = SampleFunctionApplication.class, webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) public class WebFunctionTests {
@Autowired private TestRestTemplate rest;
@Test public void test() throws Exception { ResponseEntity<String> result = this.rest.exchange( RequestEntity.post(new URI("/uppercase")).body("hello"), String.class); System.out.println(result.getBody()); } }
or when function bean definition style is used: [source, java]
@FunctionalSpringBootTest public class WebFunctionTests {
@Autowired private TestRestTemplate rest;
@Test public void test() throws Exception { ResponseEntity<String> result = this.rest.exchange( RequestEntity.post(new URI("/uppercase")).body("hello"), String.class); System.out.println(result.getBody()); } }
This test is almost identical to the one you would write for the `@Bean` version of the same app - the only difference is the `@FunctionalSpringBootTest` annotation, instead of the regular `@SpringBootTest`. All the other pieces, like the `@Autowired` `TestRestTemplate`, are standard Spring Boot features. And to help with correct dependencies here is the excerpt from POM [source, xml]
<parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.2.2.RELEASE</version> <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository --> </parent> . . . . <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-function-web</artifactId> <version>3.0.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.junit.vintage</groupId> <artifactId>junit-vintage-engine</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>
Or you could write a test for a non-HTTP app using just the `FunctionCatalog`. For example: [source, java]
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @FunctionalSpringBootTest public class FunctionalTests {
@Autowired private FunctionCatalog catalog;
@Test public void words() throws Exception { Function<String, String> function = catalog.lookup(Function.class, "uppercase"); assertThat(function.apply("hello")).isEqualTo("HELLO"); }
}
:leveloffset!: == Dynamic Compilation There is a sample app that uses the function compiler to create a function from a configuration property. The vanilla "function-sample" also has that feature. And there are some scripts that you can run to see the compilation happening at run time. To run these examples, change into the `scripts` directory:
cd scripts
Also, start a RabbitMQ server locally (e.g. execute `rabbitmq-server`). Start the Function Registry Service:
Register a Function:
Run a REST Microservice using that Function:
curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -H "Accept: text/plain" localhost:9000/uppercase -d foo
Register a Supplier:
Run a REST Microservice using that Supplier:
curl -H "Accept: application/json" localhost:9001/words
Register a Consumer:
Run a REST Microservice using that Consumer:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d foo localhost:9002/print
Run Stream Processing Microservices: First register a streaming words supplier:
Then start the source (supplier), processor (function), and sink (consumer) apps (in reverse order):
The output will appear in the console of the sink app (one message per second, converted to uppercase):
MESSAGE-0 MESSAGE-1 MESSAGE-2 MESSAGE-3 MESSAGE-4 MESSAGE-5 MESSAGE-6 MESSAGE-7 MESSAGE-8 MESSAGE-9 …
== Serverless Platform Adapters As well as being able to run as a standalone process, a Spring Cloud Function application can be adapted to run one of the existing serverless platforms. In the project there are adapters for https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/{branch}/spring-cloud-function-adapters/spring-cloud-function-adapter-aws[AWS Lambda], https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/{branch}/spring-cloud-function-adapters/spring-cloud-function-adapter-azure[Azure], and https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/{branch}/spring-cloud-function-adapters/spring-cloud-function-adapter-openwhisk[Apache OpenWhisk]. The https://github.com/fnproject/fn[Oracle Fn platform] has its own Spring Cloud Function adapter. And https://projectriff.io[Riff] supports Java functions and its https://github.com/projectriff/java-function-invoker[Java Function Invoker] acts natively is an adapter for Spring Cloud Function jars. :branch: master === AWS Lambda The https://aws.amazon.com/[AWS] adapter takes a Spring Cloud Function app and converts it to a form that can run in AWS Lambda. The details of how to get stared with AWS Lambda is out of scope of this document, so the expectation is that user has some familiarity with AWS and AWS Lambda and wants to learn what additional value spring provides. ==== Getting Started One of the goals of Spring Cloud Function framework is to provide necessary infrastructure elements to enable a _simple function application_ to interact in a certain way in a particular environment. A simple function application (in context or Spring) is an application that contains beans of type Supplier, Function or Consumer. So, with AWS it means that a simple function bean should somehow be recognised and executed in AWS Lambda environment. Let’s look at the example: [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class FunctionConfiguration {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(FunctionConfiguration.class, args); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); } }
It shows a complete Spring Boot application with a function bean defined in it. What’s interesting is that on the surface this is just another boot app, but in the context of AWS Adapter it is also a perfectly valid AWS Lambda application. No other code or configuration is required. All you need to do is package it and deploy it, so let’s look how we can do that. To make things simpler we’ve provided a sample project ready to be built and deployed and you can access it https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-aws[here]. You simply execute `./mvnw clean package` to generate JAR file. All the necessary maven plugins have already been setup to generate appropriate AWS deployable JAR file. (You can read more details about JAR layout in <<Notes on JAR Layout>>). Then you have to upload the JAR file (via AWS dashboard or AWS CLI) to AWS. When ask about _handler_ you specify `org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.FunctionInvoker::handleRequest` which is a generic request handler. image::{github-raw}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/AWS-deploy.png[width=800,scaledwidth="75%",align="center"] That is all. Save and execute the function with some sample data which for this function is expected to be a String which function will uppercase and return back. While `org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.FunctionInvoker` is a general purpose AWS's `RequestHandler` implementation aimed at completely isolating you from the specifics of AWS Lambda API, for some cases you may want to specify which specific AWS's `RequestHandler` you want to use. The next section will explain you how you can accomplish just that. ==== AWS Request Handlers The adapter has a couple of generic request handlers that you can use. The most generic is (and the one we used in the Getting Started section) is `org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.FunctionInvoker` which is the implementation of AWS's `RequestStreamHandler`. User doesn't need to do anything other then specify it as 'handler' on AWS dashboard when deploying function. It will handle most of the case including Kinesis, streaming etc. . If your app has more than one `@Bean` of type `Function` etc. then you can choose the one to use by configuring `spring.cloud.function.definition` property or environment variable. The functions are extracted from the Spring Cloud `FunctionCatalog`. In the event you don't specify `spring.cloud.function.definition` the framework will attempt to find a default following the search order where it searches first for `Function` then `Consumer` and finally `Supplier`). ==== AWS Function Routing One of the core features of Spring Cloud Function is https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-function/docs/{project-version}/reference/html/spring-cloud-function.html#_function_routing_and_filtering[routing] - an ability to have one special function to delegate to other functions based on the user provided routing instructions. In AWS Lambda environment this feature provides one additional benefit, as it allows you to bind a single function (Routing Function) as AWS Lambda and thus a single HTTP endpoint for API Gateway. So in the end you only manage one function and one endpoint, while benefiting from many function that can be part of your application. More details are available in the provided https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/main/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-aws-routing[sample], yet few general things worth mentioning. Routing capabilities will be enabled by default whenever there is more then one function in your application as `org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.FunctionInvoker` can not determine which function to bind as AWS Lambda, so it defaults to `RoutingFunction`. This means that all you need to do is provide routing instructions which you can do https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-function/docs/{project-version}/reference/html/spring-cloud-function.html#_function_routing_and_filtering[using several mechanisms] (see https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/main/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-aws-routing[sample] for more details). Also, note that since AWS does not allow dots `.` and/or hyphens`-` in the name of the environment variable, you can benefit from boot support and simply substitute dots with underscores and hyphens with camel case. So for example `spring.cloud.function.definition` becomes `spring_cloud_function_definition` and `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` becomes `spring_cloud_function_routingExpression`. ==== Notes on JAR Layout You don't need the Spring Cloud Function Web or Stream adapter at runtime in Lambda, so you might need to exclude those before you create the JAR you send to AWS. A Lambda application has to be shaded, but a Spring Boot standalone application does not, so you can run the same app using 2 separate jars (as per the sample). The sample app creates 2 jar files, one with an `aws` classifier for deploying in Lambda, and one [[thin-jar,thin jar]] executable (thin) jar that includes `spring-cloud-function-web` at runtime. Spring Cloud Function will try and locate a "main class" for you from the JAR file manifest, using the `Start-Class` attribute (which will be added for you by the Spring Boot tooling if you use the starter parent). If there is no `Start-Class` in your manifest you can use an environment variable or system property `MAIN_CLASS` when you deploy the function to AWS. If you are not using the functional bean definitions but relying on Spring Boot's auto-configuration, then additional transformers must be configured as part of the maven-shade-plugin execution.

==== Build file setup In order to run Spring Cloud Function applications on AWS Lambda, you can leverage Maven or Gradle plugins offered by the cloud platform provider. ===== Maven In order to use the adapter plugin for Maven, add the plugin dependency to your `pom.xml` file: [source,xml]
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-function-adapter-aws</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
As pointed out in the <<Notes on JAR Layout>>, you will need a shaded jar in order to upload it to AWS Lambda. You can use the https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/[Maven Shade Plugin] for that. The example of the <<shade-plugin-setup,setup>> can be found above. You can use theSpring Boot Maven Plugin to generate the <<thin-jar>>. [source,xml]
<plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot.experimental</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-thin-layout</artifactId> <version>${wrapper.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin>
You can find the entire sample `pom.xml` file for deploying Spring Cloud Function applications to AWS Lambda with Maven https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/blob/{branch}/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-aws/pom.xml[here]. ===== Gradle In order to use the adapter plugin for Gradle, add the dependency to your `build.gradle` file: [source,groovy]
dependencies { compile("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-function-adapter-aws:${version}") }
As pointed out in <<Notes on JAR Layout>>, you will need a shaded jar in order to upload it to AWS Lambda. You can use the https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.github.johnrengelman.shadow/[Gradle Shadow Plugin] for that: [source,groovy]
buildscript { dependencies { classpath "com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins:shadow:${shadowPluginVersion}" } } apply plugin: 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow'
assemble.dependsOn = [shadowJar]
import com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins.shadow.transformers.*
shadowJar { classifier = 'aws' dependencies { exclude( dependency("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-function-web:${springCloudFunctionVersion}")) } // Required for Spring mergeServiceFiles() append 'META-INF/spring.handlers' append 'META-INF/spring.schemas' append 'META-INF/spring.tooling' transform(PropertiesFileTransformer) { paths = ['META-INF/spring.factories'] mergeStrategy = "append" } }
You can use the Spring Boot Gradle Plugin and Spring Boot Thin Gradle Plugin to generate the <<thin-jar>>. [source,groovy]
buildscript { dependencies { classpath("org.springframework.boot.experimental:spring-boot-thin-gradle-plugin:${wrapperVersion}") classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}") } } apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot' apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot.experimental.thin-launcher' assemble.dependsOn = [thinJar]
You can find the entire sample `build.gradle` file for deploying Spring Cloud Function applications to AWS Lambda with Gradle https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/blob/{branch}/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-aws/build.gradle[here]. ==== Upload Build the sample under `spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-aws` and upload the `-aws` jar file to Lambda. The handler can be `example.Handler` or `org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.SpringBootStreamHandler` (FQN of the class, _not_ a method reference, although Lambda does accept method references).
Using the AWS command line tools it looks like this:
aws lambda create-function --function-name Uppercase --role arn:aws:iam::[USERID]:role/service-role/[ROLE] --zip-file fileb://function-sample-aws/target/function-sample-aws-2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT-aws.jar --handler org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.aws.SpringBootStreamHandler --description "Spring Cloud Function Adapter Example" --runtime java8 --region us-east-1 --timeout 30 --memory-size 1024 --publish
The input type for the function in the AWS sample is a Foo with a single property called "value". So you would need this to test it:
{ "value": "test" }
NOTE: The AWS sample app is written in the "functional" style (as an `ApplicationContextInitializer`). This is much faster on startup in Lambda than the traditional `@Bean` style, so if you don't need `@Beans` (or `@EnableAutoConfiguration`) it's a good choice. Warm starts are not affected. ==== Type Conversion Spring Cloud Function will attempt to transparently handle type conversion between the raw input stream and types declared by your function. For example, if your function signature is as such `Function<Foo, Bar>` we will attempt to convert incoming stream event to an instance of `Foo`. In the event type is not known or can not be determined (e.g., `Function<?, ?>`) we will attempt to convert an incoming stream event to a generic `Map`. ====== Raw Input There are times when you may want to have access to a raw input. In this case all you need is to declare your function signature to accept `InputStream`. For example, `Function<InputStream, ?>`. In this case we will not attempt any conversion and will pass the raw input directly to a function. :branch: master === Microsoft Azure The https://azure.microsoft.com[Azure] adapter bootstraps a Spring Cloud Function context and channels function calls from the Azure framework into the user functions, using Spring Boot configuration where necessary. Azure Functions has quite a unique, but invasive programming model, involving annotations in user code that are specific to the platform. The easiest way to use it with Spring Cloud is to extend a base class and write a method in it with the `@FunctionName` annotation which delegates to a base class method. This project provides an adapter layer for a Spring Cloud Function application onto Azure. You can write an app with a single `@Bean` of type `Function` and it will be deployable in Azure if you get the JAR file laid out right. There is an `org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.azure.FunctionInvoker` which you must extend, and provide the input and output types as annotated method parameters (enabling Azure to inspect the class and create JSON bindings). The base class has two useful methods (`handleRequest` and `handleOutput`) to which you can delegate the actual function call, so mostly the function will only ever have one line. Example: ```java public class FooHandler extends FunctionInvoker<Foo, Bar> { @FunctionName("uppercase") public Bar execute(@HttpTrigger(name = "req", methods = {HttpMethod.GET, HttpMethod.POST}, authLevel = AuthorizationLevel.ANONYMOUS) HttpRequestMessage<Optional<Foo>> request, ExecutionContext context) { return handleRequest(request.getBody().get(), context); } } ``` This Azure handler will delegate to a `Function<Foo,Bar>` bean (or a `Function<Publisher<Foo>,Publisher<Bar>>`). Some Azure triggers (e.g. `@CosmosDBTrigger`) result in a input type of `List` and in that case you can bind to `List` in the Azure handler, or `String` (the raw JSON). The `List` input delegates to a `Function` with input type `Map<String,Object>`, or `Publisher` or `List` of the same type. The output of the `Function` can be a `List` (one-for-one) or a single value (aggregation), and the output binding in the Azure declaration should match. If your app has more than one `@Bean` of type `Function` etc. then you can choose the one to use by configuring `function.name`. Or if you make the `@FunctionName` in the Azure handler method match the function name it should work that way (also for function apps with multiple functions). The functions are extracted from the Spring Cloud `FunctionCatalog` so the default function names are the same as the bean names. ==== Accessing Azure ExecutionContext Some time there is a need to access the target execution context provided by Azure runtime in the form of `com.microsoft.azure.functions.ExecutionContext`. For example one of such needs is logging, so it can appear in the Azure console. For that purpose we propagate `ExecutionContext` as Message header under `executionContext` name, so all you need is access it is have your function accept a Message and access this header. Spring Cloud Function will register `ExecutionContext` as bean in the Application context, so it could be injected into your function. For example ```java @Bean public Function<Message<Foo>, Bar> uppercase() { return message -> { ExecutionContext targetContext = message.getHeaders().get("executionContext"); targetContext.getLogger().info("Invoking 'uppercase' on " + foo.getValue()); return new Bar(message.getPayload().getValue().toUpperCase()); }; } ``` With Message you will also have access to additional Azure meta information as Message headers that come as part of your request. ==== Notes on JAR Layout You don't need the Spring Cloud Function Web at runtime in Azure, so you can exclude this before you create the JAR you deploy to Azure, but it won't be used if you include it, so it doesn't hurt to leave it in. A function application on Azure is an archive generated by the Maven plugin. The function lives in the JAR file generated by this project. The sample creates it as an executable jar, using the thin layout, so that Azure can find the handler classes. If you prefer you can just use a regular flat JAR file. The dependencies should *not* be included. ==== Build file setup In order to run Spring Cloud Function applications on Microsoft Azure, you can leverage the Maven plugin offered by the cloud platform provider. In order to use the adapter plugin for Maven, add the plugin dependency to your `pom.xml` file: [source,xml]
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-function-adapter-azure</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
Then, configure the plugin. You will need to provide Azure-specific configuration for your application, specifying the `resourceGroup`, `appName` and other optional properties, and add the `package` goal execution so that the `function.json` file required by Azure is generated for you. Full plugin documentation can be found in the https://github.com/microsoft/azure-maven-plugins[plugin repository]. [source,xml]
<plugin> <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId> <artifactId>azure-functions-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <resourceGroup>${functionResourceGroup}</resourceGroup> <appName>${functionAppName}</appName> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>package-functions</id> <goals> <goal>package</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
You will also have to ensure that the files to be scanned by the plugin can be found in the Azure functions staging directory (see the https://github.com/microsoft/azure-maven-plugins[plugin repository] for more details on the staging directory and it's default location). You can find the entire sample `pom.xml` file for deploying Spring Cloud Function applications to Microsoft Azure with Maven https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/blob/{branch}/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-azure/pom.xml[here]. NOTE: As of yet, only Maven plugin is available. Gradle plugin has not been created by the cloud platform provider. ==== Build
==== Running the sample You can run the sample locally, just like the other Spring Cloud Function samples: --- ./mvnw spring-boot:run --- and `curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" localhost:8080/api/uppercase -d '{"value": "hello foobar"}'`. You will need the `az` CLI app (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-java-maven for more detail). To deploy the function on Azure runtime:
$ az login $ mvn azure-functions:deploy
On another terminal try this: `curl https://<azure-function-url-from-the-log>/api/uppercase -d '{"value": "hello foobar!"}'`. Please ensure that you use the right URL for the function above. Alternatively you can test the function in the Azure Dashboard UI (click on the function name, go to the right hand side and click "Test" and to the bottom right, "Run"). The input type for the function in the Azure sample is a Foo with a single property called "value". So you need this to test it with something like below:
{ "value": "foobar" }
NOTE: The Azure sample app is written in the "non-functional" style (using `@Bean`). The functional style (with just `Function` or `ApplicationContextInitializer`) is much faster on startup in Azure than the traditional `@Bean` style, so if you don't need `@Beans` (or `@EnableAutoConfiguration`) it's a good choice. Warm starts are not affected. :branch: master === Google Cloud Functions The Google Cloud Functions adapter enables Spring Cloud Function apps to run on the https://cloud.google.com/functions[Google Cloud Functions] serverless platform. You can either run the function locally using the open source https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework-java[Google Functions Framework for Java] or on GCP. ==== Project Dependencies Start by adding the `spring-cloud-function-adapter-gcp` dependency to your project. [source, xml]
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-function-adapter-gcp</artifactId> </dependency>
... </dependencies>
In addition, add the `spring-boot-maven-plugin` which will build the JAR of the function to deploy. NOTE: Notice that we also reference `spring-cloud-function-adapter-gcp` as a dependency of the `spring-boot-maven-plugin`. This is necessary because it modifies the plugin to package your function in the correct JAR format for deployment on Google Cloud Functions. [source, xml]
<plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <outputDirectory>target/deploy</outputDirectory> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-function-adapter-gcp</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin>
Finally, add the Maven plugin provided as part of the Google Functions Framework for Java. This allows you to test your functions locally via `mvn function:run`. NOTE: The function target should always be set to `org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.gcp.GcfJarLauncher`; this is an adapter class which acts as the entry point to your Spring Cloud Function from the Google Cloud Functions platform. [source,xml]
<plugin> <groupId>com.google.cloud.functions</groupId> <artifactId>function-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> <configuration> <functionTarget>org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.gcp.GcfJarLauncher</functionTarget> <port>8080</port> </configuration> </plugin>
A full example of a working `pom.xml` can be found in the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/blob/master/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-gcp-http/pom.xml[Spring Cloud Functions GCP sample]. ==== HTTP Functions Google Cloud Functions supports deploying https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/writing/http[HTTP Functions], which are functions that are invoked by HTTP request. The sections below describe instructions for deploying a Spring Cloud Function as an HTTP Function. ===== Getting Started Let’s start with a simple Spring Cloud Function example: [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class CloudFunctionMain {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(CloudFunctionMain.class, args); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); } }
Specify your configuration main class in `resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF`. [source]
Main-Class: com.example.CloudFunctionMain
Then run the function locally. This is provided by the Google Cloud Functions `function-maven-plugin` described in the project dependencies section.
mvn function:run
Invoke the HTTP function:
curl localhost:8080/ -d "hello"
===== Deploy to GCP Start by packaging your application.
mvn package
If you added the custom `spring-boot-maven-plugin` plugin defined above, you should see the resulting JAR in `target/deploy` directory. This JAR is correctly formatted for deployment to Google Cloud Functions. Next, make sure that you have the https://cloud.google.com/sdk/install[Cloud SDK CLI] installed. From the project base directory run the following command to deploy.
gcloud functions deploy function-sample-gcp-http \ --entry-point org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.gcp.GcfJarLauncher \ --runtime java11 \ --trigger-http \ --source target/deploy \ --memory 512MB
Invoke the HTTP function:
curl REGION-PROJECT_ID.cloudfunctions.net/function-sample-gcp-http -d "hello"
==== Background Functions Google Cloud Functions also supports deploying https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/writing/background[Background Functions] which are invoked indirectly in response to an event, such as a message on a https://cloud.google.com/pubsub[Cloud Pub/Sub] topic, a change in a https://cloud.google.com/storage[Cloud Storage] bucket, or a https://firebase.google.com/[Firebase] event. The `spring-cloud-function-adapter-gcp` allows for functions to be deployed as background functions as well. The sections below describe the process for writing a Cloud Pub/Sub topic background function. However, there are a number of different event types that can trigger a background function to execute which are not discussed here; these are described in the https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/calling[Background Function triggers documentation]. ===== Getting Started Let’s start with a simple Spring Cloud Function which will run as a GCF background function: [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class BackgroundFunctionMain {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(BackgroundFunctionMain.class, args); }
@Bean public Consumer<PubSubMessage> pubSubFunction() { return message -> System.out.println("The Pub/Sub message data: " + message.getData()); } }
In addition, create `PubSubMessage` class in the project with the below definition. This class represents the https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/calling/pubsub#event_structure[Pub/Sub event structure] which gets passed to your function on a Pub/Sub topic event. [source, java]
public class PubSubMessage {
private String data;
private Map<String, String> attributes;
private String messageId;
private String publishTime;
public String getData() { return data; }
public void setData(String data) { this.data = data; }
public Map<String, String> getAttributes() { return attributes; }
public void setAttributes(Map<String, String> attributes) { this.attributes = attributes; }
public String getMessageId() { return messageId; }
public void setMessageId(String messageId) { this.messageId = messageId; }
public String getPublishTime() { return publishTime; }
public void setPublishTime(String publishTime) { this.publishTime = publishTime; }
}
Specify your configuration main class in `resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF`. [source]
Main-Class: com.example.BackgroundFunctionMain
Then run the function locally. This is provided by the Google Cloud Functions `function-maven-plugin` described in the project dependencies section.
mvn function:run
Invoke the HTTP function:
curl localhost:8080 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data":"hello"}'
Verify that the function was invoked by viewing the logs. ===== Deploy to GCP In order to deploy your background function to GCP, first package your application.
mvn package
If you added the custom `spring-boot-maven-plugin` plugin defined above, you should see the resulting JAR in `target/deploy` directory. This JAR is correctly formatted for deployment to Google Cloud Functions. Next, make sure that you have the https://cloud.google.com/sdk/install[Cloud SDK CLI] installed. From the project base directory run the following command to deploy.
gcloud functions deploy function-sample-gcp-background \ --entry-point org.springframework.cloud.function.adapter.gcp.GcfJarLauncher \ --runtime java11 \ --trigger-topic my-functions-topic \ --source target/deploy \ --memory 512MB
Google Cloud Function will now invoke the function every time a message is published to the topic specified by `--trigger-topic`. For a walkthrough on testing and verifying your background function, see the instructions for running the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-gcp-background/[GCF Background Function sample]. ==== Sample Functions The project provides the following sample functions as reference: * The https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-gcp-http/[function-sample-gcp-http] is an HTTP Function which you can test locally and try deploying. * The https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-function/tree/master/spring-cloud-function-samples/function-sample-gcp-background/[function-sample-gcp-background] shows an example of a background function that is triggered by a message being published to a specified Pub/Sub topic. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-gateway :project-version: {spring-cloud-gateway-version} = Spring Cloud Gateway :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Gateway :all: {asterisk}{asterisk} *{spring-cloud-version}* This project provides an API Gateway built on top of the Spring Ecosystem, including: Spring 5, Spring Boot 2 and Project Reactor. Spring Cloud Gateway aims to provide a simple, yet effective way to route to APIs and provide cross cutting concerns to them such as: security, monitoring/metrics, and resiliency. [[gateway-starter]] == How to Include Spring Cloud Gateway To include Spring Cloud Gateway in your project, use the starter with a group ID of `org.springframework.cloud` and an artifact ID of `spring-cloud-starter-gateway`. See the https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/[Spring Cloud Project page] for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train. If you include the starter, but you do not want the gateway to be enabled, set `spring.cloud.gateway.enabled=false`. IMPORTANT: Spring Cloud Gateway is built on https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#learn[Spring Boot 2.x], https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/web-reactive.html[Spring WebFlux], and https://projectreactor.io/docs[Project Reactor]. As a consequence, many of the familiar synchronous libraries (Spring Data and Spring Security, for example) and patterns you know may not apply when you use Spring Cloud Gateway. If you are unfamiliar with these projects, we suggest you begin by reading their documentation to familiarize yourself with some of the new concepts before working with Spring Cloud Gateway. IMPORTANT: Spring Cloud Gateway requires the Netty runtime provided by Spring Boot and Spring Webflux. It does not work in a traditional Servlet Container or when built as a WAR. == Glossary * *Route*: The basic building block of the gateway. It is defined by an ID, a destination URI, a collection of predicates, and a collection of filters. A route is matched if the aggregate predicate is true. * *Predicate*: This is a https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/function/Predicate.html[Java 8 Function Predicate]. The input type is a https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/server/ServerWebExchange.html[Spring Framework `ServerWebExchange`]. This lets you match on anything from the HTTP request, such as headers or parameters. * *Filter*: These are instances of {github-code}/spring-cloud-gateway-server/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/gateway/filter/GatewayFilter.java[`GatewayFilter`] that have been constructed with a specific factory. Here, you can modify requests and responses before or after sending the downstream request. [[gateway-how-it-works]] == How It Works The following diagram provides a high-level overview of how Spring Cloud Gateway works: image::spring_cloud_gateway_diagram.png[Spring Cloud Gateway Diagram] Clients make requests to Spring Cloud Gateway. If the Gateway Handler Mapping determines that a request matches a route, it is sent to the Gateway Web Handler. This handler runs the request through a filter chain that is specific to the request. The reason the filters are divided by the dotted line is that filters can run logic both before and after the proxy request is sent. All "`pre`" filter logic is executed. Then the proxy request is made. After the proxy request is made, the "`post`" filter logic is run. NOTE: URIs defined in routes without a port get default port values of 80 and 443 for the HTTP and HTTPS URIs, respectively. == Configuring Route Predicate Factories and Gateway Filter Factories There are two ways to configure predicates and filters: shortcuts and fully expanded arguments. Most examples below use the shortcut way. The name and argument names will be listed as `code` in the first sentance or two of the each section. The arguments are typically listed in the order that would be needed for the shortcut configuration. === Shortcut Configuration Shortcut configuration is recognized by the filter name, followed by an equals sign (`=`), followed by argument values separated by commas (`,`). .application.yml [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: after_route uri: example.org predicates: - Cookie=mycookie,mycookievalue
The previous sample defines the `Cookie` Route Predicate Factory with two arguments, the cookie name, `mycookie` and the value to match `mycookievalue`. === Fully Expanded Arguments Fully expanded arguments appear more like standard yaml configuration with name/value pairs. Typically, there will be a `name` key and an `args` key. The `args` key is a map of key value pairs to configure the predicate or filter. .application.yml [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: after_route uri: example.org predicates: - name: Cookie args: name: mycookie regexp: mycookievalue
This is the full configuration of the shortcut configuration of the `Cookie` predicate shown above. [[gateway-request-predicates-factories]] == Route Predicate Factories Spring Cloud Gateway matches routes as part of the Spring WebFlux `HandlerMapping` infrastructure. Spring Cloud Gateway includes many built-in route predicate factories. All of these predicates match on different attributes of the HTTP request. You can combine multiple route predicate factories with logical `and` statements. === The After Route Predicate Factory The `After` route predicate factory takes one parameter, a `datetime` (which is a java `ZonedDateTime`). This predicate matches requests that happen after the specified datetime. The following example configures an after route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: after_route uri: example.org predicates: - After=2017-01-20T17:42:47.789-07:00[America/Denver]
==== This route matches any request made after Jan 20, 2017 17:42 Mountain Time (Denver). === The Before Route Predicate Factory The `Before` route predicate factory takes one parameter, a `datetime` (which is a java `ZonedDateTime`). This predicate matches requests that happen before the specified `datetime`. The following example configures a before route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: before_route uri: example.org predicates: - Before=2017-01-20T17:42:47.789-07:00[America/Denver]
==== This route matches any request made before Jan 20, 2017 17:42 Mountain Time (Denver). === The Between Route Predicate Factory The `Between` route predicate factory takes two parameters, `datetime1` and `datetime2` which are java `ZonedDateTime` objects. This predicate matches requests that happen after `datetime1` and before `datetime2`. The `datetime2` parameter must be after `datetime1`. The following example configures a between route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: between_route uri: example.org predicates: - Between=2017-01-20T17:42:47.789-07:00[America/Denver], 2017-01-21T17:42:47.789-07:00[America/Denver]
==== This route matches any request made after Jan 20, 2017 17:42 Mountain Time (Denver) and before Jan 21, 2017 17:42 Mountain Time (Denver). This could be useful for maintenance windows. === The Cookie Route Predicate Factory The `Cookie` route predicate factory takes two parameters, the cookie `name` and a `regexp` (which is a Java regular expression). This predicate matches cookies that have the given name and whose values match the regular expression. The following example configures a cookie route predicate factory: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: cookie_route uri: example.org predicates: - Cookie=chocolate, ch.p
==== This route matches requests that have a cookie named `chocolate` whose value matches the `ch.p` regular expression. === The Header Route Predicate Factory The `Header` route predicate factory takes two parameters, the `header` and a `regexp` (which is a Java regular expression). This predicate matches with a header that has the given name whose value matches the regular expression. The following example configures a header route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: header_route uri: example.org predicates: - Header=X-Request-Id, \d+
==== This route matches if the request has a header named `X-Request-Id` whose value matches the `\d+` regular expression (that is, it has a value of one or more digits). === The Host Route Predicate Factory The `Host` route predicate factory takes one parameter: a list of host name `patterns`. The pattern is an Ant-style pattern with `.` as the separator. This predicates matches the `Host` header that matches the pattern. The following example configures a host route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: host_route uri: example.org predicates: - Host=.somehost.org,.anotherhost.org
==== URI template variables (such as `{sub}.myhost.org`) are supported as well. This route matches if the request has a `Host` header with a value of `www.somehost.org` or `beta.somehost.org` or `www.anotherhost.org`. This predicate extracts the URI template variables (such as `sub`, defined in the preceding example) as a map of names and values and places it in the `ServerWebExchange.getAttributes()` with a key defined in `ServerWebExchangeUtils.URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE`. Those values are then available for use by <<gateway-route-filters,`GatewayFilter` factories>> === The Method Route Predicate Factory The `Method` Route Predicate Factory takes a `methods` argument which is one or more parameters: the HTTP methods to match. The following example configures a method route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: method_route uri: example.org predicates: - Method=GET,POST
==== This route matches if the request method was a `GET` or a `POST`. === The Path Route Predicate Factory The `Path` Route Predicate Factory takes two parameters: a list of Spring `PathMatcher` `patterns` and an optional flag called `matchTrailingSlash` (defaults to `true`). The following example configures a path route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: path_route uri: example.org predicates: - Path=/red/{segment},/blue/{segment}
==== This route matches if the request path was, for example: `/red/1` or `/red/1/` or `/red/blue` or `/blue/green`. If `matchTrailingSlash` is set to `false`, then request path `/red/1/` will not be matched. This predicate extracts the URI template variables (such as `segment`, defined in the preceding example) as a map of names and values and places it in the `ServerWebExchange.getAttributes()` with a key defined in `ServerWebExchangeUtils.URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE`. Those values are then available for use by <<gateway-route-filters,`GatewayFilter` factories>> A utility method (called `get`) is available to make access to these variables easier. The following example shows how to use the `get` method: ==== [source,java]
Map<String, String> uriVariables = ServerWebExchangeUtils.getPathPredicateVariables(exchange);
String segment = uriVariables.get("segment");
==== === The Query Route Predicate Factory The `Query` route predicate factory takes two parameters: a required `param` and an optional `regexp` (which is a Java regular expression). The following example configures a query route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: query_route uri: example.org predicates: - Query=green
==== The preceding route matches if the request contained a `green` query parameter. .application.yml [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: query_route uri: example.org predicates: - Query=red, gree.
The preceding route matches if the request contained a `red` query parameter whose value matched the `gree.` regexp, so `green` and `greet` would match. === The RemoteAddr Route Predicate Factory The `RemoteAddr` route predicate factory takes a list (min size 1) of `sources`, which are CIDR-notation (IPv4 or IPv6) strings, such as `192.168.0.1/16` (where `192.168.0.1` is an IP address and `16` is a subnet mask). The following example configures a RemoteAddr route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: remoteaddr_route uri: example.org predicates: - RemoteAddr=192.168.1.1/24
==== This route matches if the remote address of the request was, for example, `192.168.1.10`. ==== Modifying the Way Remote Addresses Are Resolved By default, the RemoteAddr route predicate factory uses the remote address from the incoming request. This may not match the actual client IP address if Spring Cloud Gateway sits behind a proxy layer. You can customize the way that the remote address is resolved by setting a custom `RemoteAddressResolver`. Spring Cloud Gateway comes with one non-default remote address resolver that is based off of the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For[X-Forwarded-For header], `XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver`. `XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver` has two static constructor methods, which take different approaches to security: * `XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver::trustAll` returns a `RemoteAddressResolver` that always takes the first IP address found in the `X-Forwarded-For` header. This approach is vulnerable to spoofing, as a malicious client could set an initial value for the `X-Forwarded-For`, which would be accepted by the resolver. * `XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver::maxTrustedIndex` takes an index that correlates to the number of trusted infrastructure running in front of Spring Cloud Gateway. If Spring Cloud Gateway is, for example only accessible through HAProxy, then a value of 1 should be used. If two hops of trusted infrastructure are required before Spring Cloud Gateway is accessible, then a value of 2 should be used. Consider the following header value: ==== [source]
X-Forwarded-For: 0.0.0.1, 0.0.0.2, 0.0.0.3
==== The following `maxTrustedIndex` values yield the following remote addresses: [options="header"] |=== |`maxTrustedIndex` | result |[`Integer.MIN_VALUE`,0] | (invalid, `IllegalArgumentException` during initialization) |1 | 0.0.0.3 |2 | 0.0.0.2 |3 | 0.0.0.1 |[4, `Integer.MAX_VALUE`] | 0.0.0.1 |=== [[gateway-route-filters]] The following example shows how to achieve the same configuration with Java: .GatewayConfig.java ==== [source,java]
RemoteAddressResolver resolver = XForwardedRemoteAddressResolver .maxTrustedIndex(1);
…
r -> r.remoteAddr("10.1.1.1", "10.10.1.1/24") .uri("https://downstream1") .route("proxied-route", r -> r.remoteAddr(resolver, "10.10.1.1", "10.10.1.1/24") .uri("https://downstream2") )
==== === The Weight Route Predicate Factory The `Weight` route predicate factory takes two arguments: `group` and `weight` (an int). The weights are calculated per group. The following example configures a weight route predicate: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: weight_high uri: weighthigh.org predicates: - Weight=group1, 8 - id: weight_low uri: weightlow.org predicates: - Weight=group1, 2
==== This route would forward ~80% of traffic to https://weighthigh.org and ~20% of traffic to https://weighlow.org == `GatewayFilter` Factories Route filters allow the modification of the incoming HTTP request or outgoing HTTP response in some manner. Route filters are scoped to a particular route. Spring Cloud Gateway includes many built-in GatewayFilter Factories. NOTE: For more detailed examples of how to use any of the following filters, take a look at the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-gateway/tree/master/spring-cloud-gateway-server/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/gateway/filter/factory[unit tests]. === The `AddRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `AddRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a `name` and `value` parameter. The following example configures an `AddRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: add_request_header_route uri: example.org filters: - AddRequestHeader=X-Request-red, blue
==== This listing adds `X-Request-red:blue` header to the downstream request's headers for all matching requests. `AddRequestHeader` is aware of the URI variables used to match a path or host. URI variables may be used in the value and are expanded at runtime. The following example configures an `AddRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` that uses a variable: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: add_request_header_route uri: example.org predicates: - Path=/red/{segment} filters: - AddRequestHeader=X-Request-Red, Blue-{segment}
==== === The `AddRequestParameter` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `AddRequestParameter` `GatewayFilter` Factory takes a `name` and `value` parameter. The following example configures an `AddRequestParameter` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: add_request_parameter_route uri: example.org filters: - AddRequestParameter=red, blue
==== This will add `red=blue` to the downstream request's query string for all matching requests. `AddRequestParameter` is aware of the URI variables used to match a path or host. URI variables may be used in the value and are expanded at runtime. The following example configures an `AddRequestParameter` `GatewayFilter` that uses a variable: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: add_request_parameter_route uri: example.org predicates: - Host: {segment}.myhost.org filters: - AddRequestParameter=foo, bar-{segment}
==== === The `AddResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `AddResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory takes a `name` and `value` parameter. The following example configures an `AddResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: add_response_header_route uri: example.org filters: - AddResponseHeader=X-Response-Red, Blue
==== This adds `X-Response-Red:Blue` header to the downstream response's headers for all matching requests. `AddResponseHeader` is aware of URI variables used to match a path or host. URI variables may be used in the value and are expanded at runtime. The following example configures an `AddResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` that uses a variable: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: add_response_header_route uri: example.org predicates: - Host: {segment}.myhost.org filters: - AddResponseHeader=foo, bar-{segment}
==== === The `DedupeResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The DedupeResponseHeader GatewayFilter factory takes a `name` parameter and an optional `strategy` parameter. `name` can contain a space-separated list of header names. The following example configures a `DedupeResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: dedupe_response_header_route uri: example.org filters: - DedupeResponseHeader=Access-Control-Allow-Credentials Access-Control-Allow-Origin
==== This removes duplicate values of `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials` and `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response headers in cases when both the gateway CORS logic and the downstream logic add them. The `DedupeResponseHeader` filter also accepts an optional `strategy` parameter. The accepted values are `RETAIN_FIRST` (default), `RETAIN_LAST`, and `RETAIN_UNIQUE`. [[spring-cloud-circuitbreaker-filter-factory]] === Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker GatewayFilter Factory The Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker GatewayFilter factory uses the Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker APIs to wrap Gateway routes in a circuit breaker. Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker supports multiple libraries that can be used with Spring Cloud Gateway. Spring Cloud supports Resilience4J out of the box. To enable the Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker filter, you need to place `spring-cloud-starter-circuitbreaker-reactor-resilience4j` on the classpath. The following example configures a Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: circuitbreaker_route uri: example.org filters: - CircuitBreaker=myCircuitBreaker
==== To configure the circuit breaker, see the configuration for the underlying circuit breaker implementation you are using. * https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-circuitbreaker/reference/html/spring-cloud-circuitbreaker.html[Resilience4J Documentation] The Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker filter can also accept an optional `fallbackUri` parameter. Currently, only `forward:` schemed URIs are supported. If the fallback is called, the request is forwarded to the controller matched by the URI. The following example configures such a fallback: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: circuitbreaker_route uri: lb://backing-service:8088 predicates: - Path=/consumingServiceEndpoint filters: - name: CircuitBreaker args: name: myCircuitBreaker fallbackUri: forward:/inCaseOfFailureUseThis - RewritePath=/consumingServiceEndpoint, /backingServiceEndpoint
==== The following listing does the same thing in Java: .Application.java ==== [source,java]
@Bean public RouteLocator routes(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) { return builder.routes() .route("circuitbreaker_route", r → r.path("/consumingServiceEndpoint") .filters(f → f.circuitBreaker(c → c.name("myCircuitBreaker").fallbackUri("forward:/inCaseOfFailureUseThis")) .rewritePath("/consumingServiceEndpoint", "/backingServiceEndpoint")).uri("lb://backing-service:8088") .build(); }
==== This example forwards to the `/inCaseofFailureUseThis` URI when the circuit breaker fallback is called. Note that this example also demonstrates the (optional) Spring Cloud LoadBalancer load-balancing (defined by the `lb` prefix on the destination URI). The primary scenario is to use the `fallbackUri` to define an internal controller or handler within the gateway application. However, you can also reroute the request to a controller or handler in an external application, as follows: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: ingredients uri: lb://ingredients predicates: - Path=//ingredients/** filters: - name: CircuitBreaker args: name: fetchIngredients fallbackUri: forward:/fallback - id: ingredients-fallback uri: localhost:9994 predicates: - Path=/fallback
==== In this example, there is no `fallback` endpoint or handler in the gateway application. However, there is one in another application, registered under `http://localhost:9994`. In case of the request being forwarded to fallback, the Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker Gateway filter also provides the `Throwable` that has caused it. It is added to the `ServerWebExchange` as the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.CIRCUITBREAKER_EXECUTION_EXCEPTION_ATTR` attribute that can be used when handling the fallback within the gateway application. For the external controller/handler scenario, headers can be added with exception details. You can find more information on doing so in the <<fallback-headers, FallbackHeaders GatewayFilter Factory section>>. [[circuit-breaker-status-codes]] ==== Tripping The Circuit Breaker On Status Codes In some cases you might want to trip a circuit breaker based on the status code returned from the route it wraps. The circuit breaker config object takes a list of status codes that if returned will cause the the circuit breaker to be tripped. When setting the status codes you want to trip the circuit breaker you can either use a integer with the status code value or the String representation of the `HttpStatus` enumeration. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: circuitbreaker_route uri: lb://backing-service:8088 predicates: - Path=/consumingServiceEndpoint filters: - name: CircuitBreaker args: name: myCircuitBreaker fallbackUri: forward:/inCaseOfFailureUseThis statusCodes: - 500 - "NOT_FOUND"
==== .Application.java ==== [source,java]
@Bean public RouteLocator routes(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) { return builder.routes() .route("circuitbreaker_route", r → r.path("/consumingServiceEndpoint") .filters(f → f.circuitBreaker(c → c.name("myCircuitBreaker").fallbackUri("forward:/inCaseOfFailureUseThis").addStatusCode("INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR")) .rewritePath("/consumingServiceEndpoint", "/backingServiceEndpoint")).uri("lb://backing-service:8088") .build(); }
==== [[fallback-headers]] === The `FallbackHeaders` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `FallbackHeaders` factory lets you add Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker execution exception details in the headers of a request forwarded to a `fallbackUri` in an external application, as in the following scenario: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: ingredients uri: lb://ingredients predicates: - Path=//ingredients/** filters: - name: CircuitBreaker args: name: fetchIngredients fallbackUri: forward:/fallback - id: ingredients-fallback uri: localhost:9994 predicates: - Path=/fallback filters: - name: FallbackHeaders args: executionExceptionTypeHeaderName: Test-Header
==== In this example, after an execution exception occurs while running the circuit breaker, the request is forwarded to the `fallback` endpoint or handler in an application running on `localhost:9994`. The headers with the exception type, message and (if available) root cause exception type and message are added to that request by the `FallbackHeaders` filter. You can overwrite the names of the headers in the configuration by setting the values of the following arguments (shown with their default values): * `executionExceptionTypeHeaderName` (`"Execution-Exception-Type"`) * `executionExceptionMessageHeaderName` (`"Execution-Exception-Message"`) * `rootCauseExceptionTypeHeaderName` (`"Root-Cause-Exception-Type"`) * `rootCauseExceptionMessageHeaderName` (`"Root-Cause-Exception-Message"`) For more information on circuit breakers and the gateway see the <<spring-cloud-circuitbreaker-filter-factory, Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker Factory section>>. === The `MapRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `MapRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory takes `fromHeader` and `toHeader` parameters. It creates a new named header (`toHeader`), and the value is extracted out of an existing named header (`fromHeader`) from the incoming http request. If the input header does not exist, the filter has no impact. If the new named header already exists, its values are augmented with the new values. The following example configures a `MapRequestHeader`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: map_request_header_route uri: example.org filters: - MapRequestHeader=Blue, X-Request-Red
==== This adds `X-Request-Red:<values>` header to the downstream request with updated values from the incoming HTTP request's `Blue` header. === The `PrefixPath` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `PrefixPath` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a single `prefix` parameter. The following example configures a `PrefixPath` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: prefixpath_route uri: example.org filters: - PrefixPath=/mypath
==== This will prefix `/mypath` to the path of all matching requests. So a request to `/hello` would be sent to `/mypath/hello`. === The `PreserveHostHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `PreserveHostHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory has no parameters. This filter sets a request attribute that the routing filter inspects to determine if the original host header should be sent, rather than the host header determined by the HTTP client. The following example configures a `PreserveHostHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: preserve_host_route uri: example.org filters: - PreserveHostHeader
==== === The `RequestRateLimiter` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `RequestRateLimiter` `GatewayFilter` factory uses a `RateLimiter` implementation to determine if the current request is allowed to proceed. If it is not, a status of `HTTP 429 - Too Many Requests` (by default) is returned. This filter takes an optional `keyResolver` parameter and parameters specific to the rate limiter (described later in this section). `keyResolver` is a bean that implements the `KeyResolver` interface. In configuration, reference the bean by name using SpEL. `#{@myKeyResolver}` is a SpEL expression that references a bean named `myKeyResolver`. The following listing shows the `KeyResolver` interface: .KeyResolver.java ==== [source,java]
public interface KeyResolver { Mono<String> resolve(ServerWebExchange exchange); }
==== The `KeyResolver` interface lets pluggable strategies derive the key for limiting requests. In future milestone releases, there will be some `KeyResolver` implementations. The default implementation of `KeyResolver` is the `PrincipalNameKeyResolver`, which retrieves the `Principal` from the `ServerWebExchange` and calls `Principal.getName()`. By default, if the `KeyResolver` does not find a key, requests are denied. You can adjust this behavior by setting the `spring.cloud.gateway.filter.request-rate-limiter.deny-empty-key` (`true` or `false`) and `spring.cloud.gateway.filter.request-rate-limiter.empty-key-status-code` properties. [NOTE] ===== The `RequestRateLimiter` is not configurable with the "shortcut" notation. The following example below is _invalid_: .application.properties ====
INVALID SHORTCUT CONFIGURATION
spring.cloud.gateway.routes[0].filters[0]=RequestRateLimiter=2, 2, #{@userkeyresolver}
==== ===== ==== The Redis `RateLimiter` The Redis implementation is based off of work done at https://stripe.com/blog/rate-limiters[Stripe]. It requires the use of the `spring-boot-starter-data-redis-reactive` Spring Boot starter. The algorithm used is the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket[Token Bucket Algorithm]. The `redis-rate-limiter.replenishRate` property is how many requests per second you want a user to be allowed to do, without any dropped requests. This is the rate at which the token bucket is filled. The `redis-rate-limiter.burstCapacity` property is the maximum number of requests a user is allowed to do in a single second. This is the number of tokens the token bucket can hold. Setting this value to zero blocks all requests. The `redis-rate-limiter.requestedTokens` property is how many tokens a request costs. This is the number of tokens taken from the bucket for each request and defaults to `1`. A steady rate is accomplished by setting the same value in `replenishRate` and `burstCapacity`. Temporary bursts can be allowed by setting `burstCapacity` higher than `replenishRate`. In this case, the rate limiter needs to be allowed some time between bursts (according to `replenishRate`), as two consecutive bursts will result in dropped requests (`HTTP 429 - Too Many Requests`). The following listing configures a `redis-rate-limiter`: Rate limits bellow `1 request/s` are accomplished by setting `replenishRate` to the wanted number of requests, `requestedTokens` to the timespan in seconds and `burstCapacity` to the product of `replenishRate` and `requestedTokens`, e.g. setting `replenishRate=1`, `requestedTokens=60` and `burstCapacity=60` will result in a limit of `1 request/min`. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: requestratelimiter_route uri: example.org filters: - name: RequestRateLimiter args: redis-rate-limiter.replenishRate: 10 redis-rate-limiter.burstCapacity: 20 redis-rate-limiter.requestedTokens: 1
==== The following example configures a KeyResolver in Java: .Config.java ==== [source,java]
@Bean KeyResolver userKeyResolver() { return exchange → Mono.just(exchange.getRequest().getQueryParams().getFirst("user")); }
==== This defines a request rate limit of 10 per user. A burst of 20 is allowed, but, in the next second, only 10 requests are available. The `KeyResolver` is a simple one that gets the `user` request parameter (note that this is not recommended for production). You can also define a rate limiter as a bean that implements the `RateLimiter` interface. In configuration, you can reference the bean by name using SpEL. `#{@myRateLimiter}` is a SpEL expression that references a bean with named `myRateLimiter`. The following listing defines a rate limiter that uses the `KeyResolver` defined in the previous listing: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: requestratelimiter_route uri: example.org filters: - name: RequestRateLimiter args: rate-limiter: "{@myRateLimiter}" key-resolver: "{@userKeyResolver}"
==== === The `RedirectTo` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `RedirectTo` `GatewayFilter` factory takes two parameters, `status` and `url`. The `status` parameter should be a 300 series redirect HTTP code, such as 301. The `url` parameter should be a valid URL. This is the value of the `Location` header. For relative redirects, you should use `uri: no://op` as the uri of your route definition. The following listing configures a `RedirectTo` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: prefixpath_route uri: example.org filters: - RedirectTo=302, acme.org
==== This will send a status 302 with a `Location:https://acme.org` header to perform a redirect. === The `RemoveRequestHeader` GatewayFilter Factory The `RemoveRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a `name` parameter. It is the name of the header to be removed. The following listing configures a `RemoveRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: removerequestheader_route uri: example.org filters: - RemoveRequestHeader=X-Request-Foo
==== This removes the `X-Request-Foo` header before it is sent downstream. === `RemoveResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `RemoveResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a `name` parameter. It is the name of the header to be removed. The following listing configures a `RemoveResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: removeresponseheader_route uri: example.org filters: - RemoveResponseHeader=X-Response-Foo
==== This will remove the `X-Response-Foo` header from the response before it is returned to the gateway client. To remove any kind of sensitive header, you should configure this filter for any routes for which you may want to do so. In addition, you can configure this filter once by using `spring.cloud.gateway.default-filters` and have it applied to all routes. === The `RemoveRequestParameter` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `RemoveRequestParameter` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a `name` parameter. It is the name of the query parameter to be removed. The following example configures a `RemoveRequestParameter` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: removerequestparameter_route uri: example.org filters: - RemoveRequestParameter=red
==== This will remove the `red` parameter before it is sent downstream. === The `RewritePath` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `RewritePath` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a path `regexp` parameter and a `replacement` parameter. This uses Java regular expressions for a flexible way to rewrite the request path. The following listing configures a `RewritePath` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: rewritepath_route uri: example.org predicates: - Path=/red/* filters: - RewritePath=/red/?(?<segment>.), /${segment}
==== For a request path of `/red/blue`, this sets the path to `/blue` before making the downstream request. Note that the `$` should be replaced with `$\` because of the YAML specification. === `RewriteLocationResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `RewriteLocationResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory modifies the value of the `Location` response header, usually to get rid of backend-specific details. It takes `stripVersionMode`, `locationHeaderName`, `hostValue`, and `protocolsRegex` parameters. The following listing configures a `RewriteLocationResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: rewritelocationresponseheader_route uri: example.org filters: - RewriteLocationResponseHeader=AS_IN_REQUEST, Location, ,
==== For example, for a request of `POST https://api.example.com/some/object/name`, the `Location` response header value of `https://object-service.prod.example.net/v2/some/object/id` is rewritten as `https://api.example.com/some/object/id`. The `stripVersionMode` parameter has the following possible values: `NEVER_STRIP`, `AS_IN_REQUEST` (default), and `ALWAYS_STRIP`. * `NEVER_STRIP`: The version is not stripped, even if the original request path contains no version. * `AS_IN_REQUEST` The version is stripped only if the original request path contains no version. * `ALWAYS_STRIP` The version is always stripped, even if the original request path contains version. The `hostValue` parameter, if provided, is used to replace the `host:port` portion of the response `Location` header. If it is not provided, the value of the `Host` request header is used. The `protocolsRegex` parameter must be a valid regex `String`, against which the protocol name is matched. If it is not matched, the filter does nothing. The default is `http|https|ftp|ftps`. === The `RewriteResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `RewriteResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory takes `name`, `regexp`, and `replacement` parameters. It uses Java regular expressions for a flexible way to rewrite the response header value. The following example configures a `RewriteResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: rewriteresponseheader_route uri: example.org filters: - RewriteResponseHeader=X-Response-Red, , password=[^&]+, password=*
==== For a header value of `/42?user=ford&password=omg!what&flag=true`, it is set to `/42?user=ford&password=\***&flag=true` after making the downstream request. You must use `$\` to mean `$` because of the YAML specification. === The `SaveSession` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `SaveSession` `GatewayFilter` factory forces a `WebSession::save` operation _before_ forwarding the call downstream. This is of particular use when using something like https://projects.spring.io/spring-session/[Spring Session] with a lazy data store and you need to ensure the session state has been saved before making the forwarded call. The following example configures a `SaveSession` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: save_session uri: example.org predicates: - Path=/foo/** filters: - SaveSession
==== If you integrate https://projects.spring.io/spring-security/[Spring Security] with Spring Session and want to ensure security details have been forwarded to the remote process, this is critical. === The `SecureHeaders` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `SecureHeaders` `GatewayFilter` factory adds a number of headers to the response, per the recommendation made in https://blog.appcanary.com/2017/http-security-headers.html[this blog post]. The following headers (shown with their default values) are added: * `X-Xss-Protection:1 (mode=block`) * `Strict-Transport-Security (max-age=631138519`) * `X-Frame-Options (DENY)` * `X-Content-Type-Options (nosniff)` * `Referrer-Policy (no-referrer)` * `Content-Security-Policy (default-src 'self' https:; font-src 'self' https: data:; img-src 'self' https: data:; object-src 'none'; script-src https:; style-src 'self' https: 'unsafe-inline)'` * `X-Download-Options (noopen)` * `X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies (none)` To change the default values, set the appropriate property in the `spring.cloud.gateway.filter.secure-headers` namespace. The following properties are available: * `xss-protection-header` * `strict-transport-security` * `x-frame-options` * `x-content-type-options` * `referrer-policy` * `content-security-policy` * `x-download-options` * `x-permitted-cross-domain-policies` To disable the default values set the `spring.cloud.gateway.filter.secure-headers.disable` property with comma-separated values. The following example shows how to do so: ==== [source]
spring.cloud.gateway.filter.secure-headers.disable=x-frame-options,strict-transport-security
==== NOTE: The lowercase full name of the secure header needs to be used to disable it.. === The `SetPath` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `SetPath` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a path `template` parameter. It offers a simple way to manipulate the request path by allowing templated segments of the path. This uses the URI templates from Spring Framework. Multiple matching segments are allowed. The following example configures a `SetPath` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: setpath_route uri: example.org predicates: - Path=/red/{segment} filters: - SetPath=/{segment}
==== For a request path of `/red/blue`, this sets the path to `/blue` before making the downstream request. === The `SetRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `SetRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory takes `name` and `value` parameters. The following listing configures a `SetRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: setrequestheader_route uri: example.org filters: - SetRequestHeader=X-Request-Red, Blue
==== This `GatewayFilter` replaces (rather than adding) all headers with the given name. So, if the downstream server responded with a `X-Request-Red:1234`, this would be replaced with `X-Request-Red:Blue`, which is what the downstream service would receive. `SetRequestHeader` is aware of URI variables used to match a path or host. URI variables may be used in the value and are expanded at runtime. The following example configures an `SetRequestHeader` `GatewayFilter` that uses a variable: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: setrequestheader_route uri: example.org predicates: - Host: {segment}.myhost.org filters: - SetRequestHeader=foo, bar-{segment}
==== === The `SetResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `SetResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory takes `name` and `value` parameters. The following listing configures a `SetResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: setresponseheader_route uri: example.org filters: - SetResponseHeader=X-Response-Red, Blue
==== This GatewayFilter replaces (rather than adding) all headers with the given name. So, if the downstream server responded with a `X-Response-Red:1234`, this is replaced with `X-Response-Red:Blue`, which is what the gateway client would receive. `SetResponseHeader` is aware of URI variables used to match a path or host. URI variables may be used in the value and will be expanded at runtime. The following example configures an `SetResponseHeader` `GatewayFilter` that uses a variable: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: setresponseheader_route uri: example.org predicates: - Host: {segment}.myhost.org filters: - SetResponseHeader=foo, bar-{segment}
==== === The `SetStatus` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `SetStatus` `GatewayFilter` factory takes a single parameter, `status`. It must be a valid Spring `HttpStatus`. It may be the integer value `404` or the string representation of the enumeration: `NOT_FOUND`. The following listing configures a `SetStatus` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: setstatusstring_route uri: example.org filters: - SetStatus=BAD_REQUEST - id: setstatusint_route uri: example.org filters: - SetStatus=401
==== In either case, the HTTP status of the response is set to 401. You can configure the `SetStatus` `GatewayFilter` to return the original HTTP status code from the proxied request in a header in the response. The header is added to the response if configured with the following property: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: set-status: original-status-header-name: original-http-status
==== === The `StripPrefix` `GatewayFilter` Factory The `StripPrefix` `GatewayFilter` factory takes one parameter, `parts`. The `parts` parameter indicates the number of parts in the path to strip from the request before sending it downstream. The following listing configures a `StripPrefix` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: nameRoot uri: nameservice predicates: - Path=/name/** filters: - StripPrefix=2
==== When a request is made through the gateway to `/name/blue/red`, the request made to `nameservice` looks like `https://nameservice/red`. === The Retry `GatewayFilter` Factory The `Retry` `GatewayFilter` factory supports the following parameters: * `retries`: The number of retries that should be attempted. * `statuses`: The HTTP status codes that should be retried, represented by using `org.springframework.http.HttpStatus`. * `methods`: The HTTP methods that should be retried, represented by using `org.springframework.http.HttpMethod`. * `series`: The series of status codes to be retried, represented by using `org.springframework.http.HttpStatus.Series`. * `exceptions`: A list of thrown exceptions that should be retried. * `backoff`: The configured exponential backoff for the retries. Retries are performed after a backoff interval of `firstBackoff * (factor ^ n)`, where `n` is the iteration. If `maxBackoff` is configured, the maximum backoff applied is limited to `maxBackoff`. If `basedOnPreviousValue` is true, the backoff is calculated byusing `prevBackoff * factor`. The following defaults are configured for `Retry` filter, if enabled: * `retries`: Three times * `series`: 5XX series * `methods`: GET method * `exceptions`: `IOException` and `TimeoutException` * `backoff`: disabled The following listing configures a Retry `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: retry_test uri: localhost:8080/flakey predicates: - Host=*.retry.com filters: - name: Retry args: retries: 3 statuses: BAD_GATEWAY methods: GET,POST backoff: firstBackoff: 10ms maxBackoff: 50ms factor: 2 basedOnPreviousValue: false
==== NOTE: When using the retry filter with a `forward:` prefixed URL, the target endpoint should be written carefully so that, in case of an error, it does not do anything that could result in a response being sent to the client and committed. For example, if the target endpoint is an annotated controller, the target controller method should not return `ResponseEntity` with an error status code. Instead, it should throw an `Exception` or signal an error (for example, through a `Mono.error(ex)` return value), which the retry filter can be configured to handle by retrying. WARNING: When using the retry filter with any HTTP method with a body, the body will be cached and the gateway will become memory constrained. The body is cached in a request attribute defined by `ServerWebExchangeUtils.CACHED_REQUEST_BODY_ATTR`. The type of the object is a `org.springframework.core.io.buffer.DataBuffer`. === The `RequestSize` `GatewayFilter` Factory When the request size is greater than the permissible limit, the `RequestSize` `GatewayFilter` factory can restrict a request from reaching the downstream service. The filter takes a `maxSize` parameter. The `maxSize is a `DataSize` type, so values can be defined as a number followed by an optional `DataUnit` suffix such as 'KB' or 'MB'. The default is 'B' for bytes. It is the permissible size limit of the request defined in bytes. The following listing configures a `RequestSize` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: request_size_route uri: localhost:8080/upload predicates: - Path=/upload filters: - name: RequestSize args: maxSize: 5000000
==== The `RequestSize` `GatewayFilter` factory sets the response status as `413 Payload Too Large` with an additional header `errorMessage` when the request is rejected due to size. The following example shows such an `errorMessage`: ==== [source]
errorMessage` : `Request size is larger than permissible limit. Request size is 6.0 MB where permissible limit is 5.0 MB
==== NOTE: The default request size is set to five MB if not provided as a filter argument in the route definition. === The `SetRequestHostHeader` `GatewayFilter` Factory There are certain situation when the host header may need to be overridden. In this situation, the `SetRequestHostHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory can replace the existing host header with a specified vaue. The filter takes a `host` parameter. The following listing configures a `SetRequestHostHeader` `GatewayFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: set_request_host_header_route uri: localhost:8080/headers predicates: - Path=/headers filters: - name: SetRequestHostHeader args: host: example.org
==== The `SetRequestHostHeader` `GatewayFilter` factory replaces the value of the host header with `example.org`. === Modify a Request Body `GatewayFilter` Factory You can use the `ModifyRequestBody` filter filter to modify the request body before it is sent downstream by the gateway. NOTE: This filter can be configured only by using the Java DSL. The following listing shows how to modify a request body `GatewayFilter`: ==== [source,java]
@Bean public RouteLocator routes(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) { return builder.routes() .route("rewrite_request_obj", r → r.host("*.rewriterequestobj.org") .filters(f → f.prefixPath("/httpbin") .modifyRequestBody(String.class, Hello.class, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, (exchange, s) → return Mono.just(new Hello(s.toUpperCase())))).uri(uri)) .build(); }
static class Hello { String message;
public Hello() { }
public Hello(String message) { this.message = message; }
public String getMessage() { return message; }
public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; } }
NOTE: if the request has no body, the `RewriteFilter` will be passed `null`. `Mono.empty()` should be returned to assign a missing body in the request. ==== === Modify a Response Body `GatewayFilter` Factory You can use the `ModifyResponseBody` filter to modify the response body before it is sent back to the client. NOTE: This filter can be configured only by using the Java DSL. The following listing shows how to modify a response body `GatewayFilter`: ==== [source,java]
@Bean public RouteLocator routes(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) { return builder.routes() .route("rewrite_response_upper", r → r.host("*.rewriteresponseupper.org") .filters(f → f.prefixPath("/httpbin") .modifyResponseBody(String.class, String.class, (exchange, s) → Mono.just(s.toUpperCase()))).uri(uri)) .build(); }
NOTE: if the response has no body, the `RewriteFilter` will be passed `null`. `Mono.empty()` should be returned to assign a missing body in the response. ==== === Token Relay `GatewayFilter` Factory A Token Relay is where an OAuth2 consumer acts as a Client and forwards the incoming token to outgoing resource requests. The consumer can be a pure Client (like an SSO application) or a Resource Server. Spring Cloud Gateway can forward OAuth2 access tokens downstream to the services it is proxying. To add this functionlity to gateway you need to add the `TokenRelayGatewayFilterFactory` like this: .App.java [source,java]
@Bean public RouteLocator customRouteLocator(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) { return builder.routes() .route("resource", r → r.path("/resource") .filters(f → f.tokenRelay()) .uri("http://localhost:9000")) .build(); }
or this .application.yaml [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: resource uri: localhost:9000 predicates: - Path=/resource filters: - TokenRelay=
and it will (in addition to logging the user in and grabbing a token) pass the authentication token downstream to the services (in this case `/resource`). To enable this for Spring Cloud Gateway add the following dependencies - `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client` How does it work? The {githubmaster}/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/gateway/security/TokenRelayGatewayFilterFactory.java[filter] extracts an access token from the currently authenticated user, and puts it in a request header for the downstream requests. For a full working sample see https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/sample-gateway-oauth2login[this project]. NOTE: A `TokenRelayGatewayFilterFactory` bean will only be created if the proper `spring.security.oauth2.client.*` properties are set which will trigger creation of a `ReactiveClientRegistrationRepository` bean. NOTE: The default implementation of `ReactiveOAuth2AuthorizedClientService` used by `TokenRelayGatewayFilterFactory` uses an in-memory data store. You will need to provide your own implementation `ReactiveOAuth2AuthorizedClientService` if you need a more robust solution. === The `CacheRequestBody` `GatewayFilter` Factory There are certain situation need to read body.Since the request body stream can only be read once, we need to cache the request body. You can use the `CacheRequestBody` filter to cache request body before it send to the downstream and get body from exchagne attribute. The following listing shows how to cache the request body `GatewayFilter`: ==== [source,java]
@Bean public RouteLocator routes(RouteLocatorBuilder builder) { return builder.routes() .route("cache_request_body_route", r → r.path("/downstream/**") .filters(f → f.prefixPath("/httpbin") .cacheRequestBody(String.class).uri(uri)) .build(); }
==== .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: cache_request_body_route uri: lb://downstream predicates: - Path=/downstream/** filters: - name: CacheRequestBody args: bodyClass: java.lang.String
==== `CacheRequestBody` will extract request body and conver it to body class (such as `java.lang.String`, defined in the preceding example). then places it in the `ServerWebExchange.getAttributes()` with a key defined in `ServerWebExchangeUtils.CACHED_REQUEST_BODY_ATTR`. NOTE: This filter only works with http request (including https). === Default Filters To add a filter and apply it to all routes, you can use `spring.cloud.gateway.default-filters`. This property takes a list of filters. The following listing defines a set of default filters: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: default-filters: - AddResponseHeader=X-Response-Default-Red, Default-Blue - PrefixPath=/httpbin
==== == Global Filters The `GlobalFilter` interface has the same signature as `GatewayFilter`. These are special filters that are conditionally applied to all routes. NOTE: This interface and its usage are subject to change in future milestone releases. [[gateway-combined-global-filter-and-gatewayfilter-ordering]] === Combined Global Filter and `GatewayFilter` Ordering When a request matches a route, the filtering web handler adds all instances of `GlobalFilter` and all route-specific instances of `GatewayFilter` to a filter chain. This combined filter chain is sorted by the `org.springframework.core.Ordered` interface, which you can set by implementing the `getOrder()` method. As Spring Cloud Gateway distinguishes between "`pre`" and "`post`" phases for filter logic execution (see <<gateway-how-it-works, How it Works>>), the filter with the highest precedence is the first in the "`pre`"-phase and the last in the "`post`"-phase. The following listing configures a filter chain: .ExampleConfiguration.java ==== [source,java]
@Bean public GlobalFilter customFilter() { return new CustomGlobalFilter(); }
public class CustomGlobalFilter implements GlobalFilter, Ordered {
@Override public Mono<Void> filter(ServerWebExchange exchange, GatewayFilterChain chain) { log.info("custom global filter"); return chain.filter(exchange); }
@Override public int getOrder() { return -1; } }
==== === Forward Routing Filter The `ForwardRoutingFilter` looks for a URI in the exchange attribute `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_REQUEST_URL_ATTR`. If the URL has a `forward` scheme (such as `forward:///localendpoint`), it uses the Spring `DispatcherHandler` to handle the request. The path part of the request URL is overridden with the path in the forward URL. The unmodified original URL is appended to the list in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_ORIGINAL_REQUEST_URL_ATTR` attribute. [[reactive-loadbalancer-client-filter]] === The `ReactiveLoadBalancerClientFilter` The `ReactiveLoadBalancerClientFilter` looks for a URI in the exchange attribute named `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_REQUEST_URL_ATTR`. If the URL has a `lb` scheme (such as `lb://myservice`), it uses the Spring Cloud `ReactorLoadBalancer` to resolve the name (`myservice` in this example) to an actual host and port and replaces the URI in the same attribute. The unmodified original URL is appended to the list in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_ORIGINAL_REQUEST_URL_ATTR` attribute. The filter also looks in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_SCHEME_PREFIX_ATTR` attribute to see if it equals `lb`. If so, the same rules apply. The following listing configures a `ReactiveLoadBalancerClientFilter`: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: myRoute uri: lb://service predicates: - Path=/service/**
==== NOTE: By default, when a service instance cannot be found by the `ReactorLoadBalancer`, a `503` is returned. You can configure the gateway to return a `404` by setting `spring.cloud.gateway.loadbalancer.use404=true`. NOTE: The `isSecure` value of the `ServiceInstance` returned from the `ReactiveLoadBalancerClientFilter` overrides the scheme specified in the request made to the Gateway. For example, if the request comes into the Gateway over `HTTPS` but the `ServiceInstance` indicates it is not secure, the downstream request is made over `HTTP`. The opposite situation can also apply. However, if `GATEWAY_SCHEME_PREFIX_ATTR` is specified for the route in the Gateway configuration, the prefix is stripped and the resulting scheme from the route URL overrides the `ServiceInstance` configuration. TIP: Gateway supports all the LoadBalancer features. You can read more about them in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#spring-cloud-loadbalancer[Spring Cloud Commons documentation]. === The Netty Routing Filter The Netty routing filter runs if the URL located in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_REQUEST_URL_ATTR` exchange attribute has a `http` or `https` scheme. It uses the Netty `HttpClient` to make the downstream proxy request. The response is put in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.CLIENT_RESPONSE_ATTR` exchange attribute for use in a later filter. (There is also an experimental `WebClientHttpRoutingFilter` that performs the same function but does not require Netty.) === The Netty Write Response Filter The `NettyWriteResponseFilter` runs if there is a Netty `HttpClientResponse` in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.CLIENT_RESPONSE_ATTR` exchange attribute. It runs after all other filters have completed and writes the proxy response back to the gateway client response. (There is also an experimental `WebClientWriteResponseFilter` that performs the same function but does not require Netty.) === The `RouteToRequestUrl` Filter If there is a `Route` object in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_ROUTE_ATTR` exchange attribute, the `RouteToRequestUrlFilter` runs. It creates a new URI, based off of the request URI but updated with the URI attribute of the `Route` object. The new URI is placed in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_REQUEST_URL_ATTR` exchange attribute`. If the URI has a scheme prefix, such as `lb:ws://serviceid`, the `lb` scheme is stripped from the URI and placed in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_SCHEME_PREFIX_ATTR` for use later in the filter chain. === The Websocket Routing Filter If the URL located in the `ServerWebExchangeUtils.GATEWAY_REQUEST_URL_ATTR` exchange attribute has a `ws` or `wss` scheme, the websocket routing filter runs. It uses the Spring WebSocket infrastructure to forward the websocket request downstream. You can load-balance websockets by prefixing the URI with `lb`, such as `lb:ws://serviceid`. NOTE: If you use https://github.com/sockjs[SockJS] as a fallback over normal HTTP, you should configure a normal HTTP route as well as the websocket Route. The following listing configures a websocket routing filter: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: # SockJS route - id: websocket_sockjs_route uri: localhost:3001 predicates: - Path=/websocket/info/ # Normal Websocket route - id: websocket_route uri: ws://localhost:3001 predicates: - Path=/websocket/
==== === The Gateway Metrics Filter To enable gateway metrics, add spring-boot-starter-actuator as a project dependency. Then, by default, the gateway metrics filter runs as long as the property `spring.cloud.gateway.metrics.enabled` is not set to `false`. This filter adds a timer metric named `spring.cloud.gateway.requests` with the following tags: * `routeId`: The route ID. * `routeUri`: The URI to which the API is routed. * `outcome`: The outcome, as classified by link:https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/http/HttpStatus.Series.html[HttpStatus.Series]. * `status`: The HTTP status of the request returned to the client. * `httpStatusCode`: The HTTP Status of the request returned to the client. * `httpMethod`: The HTTP method used for the request. These metrics are then available to be scraped from `/actuator/metrics/spring.cloud.gateway.requests` and can be easily integrated with Prometheus to create a link:images/gateway-grafana-dashboard.jpeg[Grafana] link:gateway-grafana-dashboard.json[dashboard]. NOTE: To enable the prometheus endpoint, add `micrometer-registry-prometheus` as a project dependency. === Marking An Exchange As Routed After the gateway has routed a `ServerWebExchange`, it marks that exchange as "`routed`" by adding `gatewayAlreadyRouted` to the exchange attributes. Once a request has been marked as routed, other routing filters will not route the request again, essentially skipping the filter. There are convenience methods that you can use to mark an exchange as routed or check if an exchange has already been routed. * `ServerWebExchangeUtils.isAlreadyRouted` takes a `ServerWebExchange` object and checks if it has been "`routed`". * `ServerWebExchangeUtils.setAlreadyRouted` takes a `ServerWebExchange` object and marks it as "`routed`". == HttpHeadersFilters HttpHeadersFilters are applied to requests before sending them downstream, such as in the `NettyRoutingFilter`. === Forwarded Headers Filter The `Forwarded` Headers Filter creates a `Forwarded` header to send to the downstream service. It adds the `Host` header, scheme and port of the current request to any existing `Forwarded` header. === RemoveHopByHop Headers Filter The `RemoveHopByHop` Headers Filter removes headers from forwarded requests. The default list of headers that is removed comes from the https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-14#section-7.1.3[IETF]. .The default removed headers are: * Connection * Keep-Alive * Proxy-Authenticate * Proxy-Authorization * TE * Trailer * Transfer-Encoding * Upgrade To change this, set the `spring.cloud.gateway.filter.remove-hop-by-hop.headers` property to the list of header names to remove. === XForwarded Headers Filter The `XForwarded` Headers Filter creates various a `X-Forwarded-*` headers to send to the downstream service. It users the `Host` header, scheme, port and path of the current request to create the various headers. Creating of individual headers can be controlled by the following boolean properties (defaults to true): - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.for-enabled` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.host-enabled` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.port-enabled` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.proto-enabled` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.prefix-enabled` Appending multiple headers can be controlled by the following boolean properties (defaults to true): - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.for-append` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.host-append` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.port-append` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.proto-append` - `spring.cloud.gateway.x-forwarded.prefix-append` == TLS and SSL The gateway can listen for requests on HTTPS by following the usual Spring server configuration. The following example shows how to do so: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
server: ssl: enabled: true key-alias: scg key-store-password: scg1234 key-store: classpath:scg-keystore.p12 key-store-type: PKCS12
==== You can route gateway routes to both HTTP and HTTPS backends. If you are routing to an HTTPS backend, you can configure the gateway to trust all downstream certificates with the following configuration: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: httpclient: ssl: useInsecureTrustManager: true
==== Using an insecure trust manager is not suitable for production. For a production deployment, you can configure the gateway with a set of known certificates that it can trust with the following configuration: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: httpclient: ssl: trustedX509Certificates: - cert1.pem - cert2.pem
==== If the Spring Cloud Gateway is not provisioned with trusted certificates, the default trust store is used (which you can override by setting the `javax.net.ssl.trustStore` system property). === TLS Handshake The gateway maintains a client pool that it uses to route to backends. When communicating over HTTPS, the client initiates a TLS handshake. A number of timeouts are associated with this handshake. You can configure these timeouts can be configured (defaults shown) as follows: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: httpclient: ssl: handshake-timeout-millis: 10000 close-notify-flush-timeout-millis: 3000 close-notify-read-timeout-millis: 0
==== == Configuration Configuration for Spring Cloud Gateway is driven by a collection of `RouteDefinitionLocator` instances. The following listing shows the definition of the `RouteDefinitionLocator` interface: .RouteDefinitionLocator.java ==== [source,java]
public interface RouteDefinitionLocator { Flux<RouteDefinition> getRouteDefinitions(); }
==== By default, a `PropertiesRouteDefinitionLocator` loads properties by using Spring Boot's `@ConfigurationProperties` mechanism. The earlier configuration examples all use a shortcut notation that uses positional arguments rather than named ones. The following two examples are equivalent: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: setstatus_route uri: example.org filters: - name: SetStatus args: status: 401 - id: setstatusshortcut_route uri: example.org filters: - SetStatus=401
==== For some usages of the gateway, properties are adequate, but some production use cases benefit from loading configuration from an external source, such as a database. Future milestone versions will have `RouteDefinitionLocator` implementations based off of Spring Data Repositories, such as Redis, MongoDB, and Cassandra. == Route Metadata Configuration You can configure additional parameters for each route by using metadata, as follows: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: routes: - id: route_with_metadata uri: example.org metadata: optionName: "OptionValue" compositeObject: name: "value" iAmNumber: 1
==== You could acquire all metadata properties from an exchange, as follows: ==== [source]
Route route = exchange.getAttribute(GATEWAY_ROUTE_ATTR); route.getMetadata(); route.getMetadata(someKey);
==== == Http timeouts configuration Http timeouts (response and connect) can be configured for all routes and overridden for each specific route. === Global timeouts To configure Global http timeouts: + `connect-timeout` must be specified in milliseconds. + `response-timeout` must be specified as a java.time.Duration .global http timeouts example [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: httpclient: connect-timeout: 1000 response-timeout: 5s
=== Per-route timeouts To configure per-route timeouts: + `connect-timeout` must be specified in milliseconds. + `response-timeout` must be specified in milliseconds. .per-route http timeouts configuration via configuration [source,yaml]
-
id: per_route_timeouts uri: example.org predicates:
-
name: Path args: pattern: /delay/{timeout} metadata: response-timeout: 200 connect-timeout: 200
.per-route timeouts configuration using Java DSL [source,java]
import static org.springframework.cloud.gateway.support.RouteMetadataUtils.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ATTR; import static org.springframework.cloud.gateway.support.RouteMetadataUtils.RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_ATTR;
@Bean public RouteLocator customRouteLocator(RouteLocatorBuilder routeBuilder){ return routeBuilder.routes() .route("test1", r -> { return r.host("*.somehost.org").and().path("/somepath") .filters(f -> f.addRequestHeader("header1", "header-value-1")) .uri("http://someuri") .metadata(RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_ATTR, 200) .metadata(CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ATTR, 200); }) .build(); }
=== Fluent Java Routes API To allow for simple configuration in Java, the `RouteLocatorBuilder` bean includes a fluent API. The following listing shows how it works: .GatewaySampleApplication.java ==== [source,java]
@Bean public RouteLocator customRouteLocator(RouteLocatorBuilder builder, ThrottleGatewayFilterFactory throttle) { return builder.routes() .route(r → r.host(".abc.org").and().path("/image/png") .filters(f → f.addResponseHeader("X-TestHeader", "foobar")) .uri("http://httpbin.org:80") ) .route(r → r.path("/image/webp") .filters(f → f.addResponseHeader("X-AnotherHeader", "baz")) .uri("http://httpbin.org:80") .metadata("key", "value") ) .route(r → r.order(-1) .host(".throttle.org").and().path("/get") .filters(f → f.filter(throttle.apply(1, 1, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS))) .uri("http://httpbin.org:80") .metadata("key", "value") ) .build(); }
==== This style also allows for more custom predicate assertions. The predicates defined by `RouteDefinitionLocator` beans are combined using logical `and`. By using the fluent Java API, you can use the `and()`, `or()`, and `negate()` operators on the `Predicate` class. === The `DiscoveryClient` Route Definition Locator You can configure the gateway to create routes based on services registered with a `DiscoveryClient` compatible service registry. To enable this, set `spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.enabled=true` and make sure a `DiscoveryClient` implementation (such as Netflix Eureka, Consul, or Zookeeper) is on the classpath and enabled. ==== Configuring Predicates and Filters For `DiscoveryClient` Routes By default, the gateway defines a single predicate and filter for routes created with a `DiscoveryClient`. The default predicate is a path predicate defined with the pattern `/serviceId/**`, where `serviceId` is the ID of the service from the `DiscoveryClient`. The default filter is a rewrite path filter with the regex `/serviceId/?(?<remaining>.*)` and the replacement `/${remaining}`. This strips the service ID from the path before the request is sent downstream. If you want to customize the predicates or filters used by the `DiscoveryClient` routes, set `spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[x]` and `spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[y]`. When doing so, you need to make sure to include the default predicate and filter shown earlier, if you want to retain that functionality. The following example shows what this looks like: .application.properties ==== [soure,properties]
spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[0].name: Path spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[0].args[pattern]: "'/'serviceId'/'" spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[1].name: Host spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.predicates[1].args[pattern]: "'.foo.com'" spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[0].name: CircuitBreaker spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[0].args[name]: serviceId spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[1].name: RewritePath spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[1].args[regexp]: "'/' + serviceId + '/?(?<remaining>.*)'" spring.cloud.gateway.discovery.locator.filters[1].args[replacement]: "'/${remaining}'"
==== == Reactor Netty Access Logs To enable Reactor Netty access logs, set `-Dreactor.netty.http.server.accessLogEnabled=true`. IMPORTANT: It must be a Java System Property, not a Spring Boot property. You can configure the logging system to have a separate access log file. The following example creates a Logback configuration: .logback.xml ==== [source,xml]
<appender name="accessLog" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> <file>access_log.log</file> <encoder> <pattern>%msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> <appender name="async" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.AsyncAppender"> <appender-ref ref="accessLog" /> </appender>
<logger name="reactor.netty.http.server.AccessLog" level="INFO" additivity="false"> <appender-ref ref="async"/> </logger>
==== == CORS Configuration You can configure the gateway to control CORS behavior. The "`global`" CORS configuration is a map of URL patterns to https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/cors/CorsConfiguration.html[Spring Framework `CorsConfiguration`]. The following example configures CORS: .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring: cloud: gateway: globalcors: cors-configurations: '[/**]': allowedOrigins: "https://docs.spring.io" allowedMethods: - GET
==== In the preceding example, CORS requests are allowed from requests that originate from `docs.spring.io` for all GET requested paths. To provide the same CORS configuration to requests that are not handled by some gateway route predicate, set the `spring.cloud.gateway.globalcors.add-to-simple-url-handler-mapping` property to `true`. This is useful when you try to support CORS preflight requests and your route predicate does not evalute to `true` because the HTTP method is `options`. == Actuator API The `/gateway` actuator endpoint lets you monitor and interact with a Spring Cloud Gateway application. To be remotely accessible, the endpoint has to be https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-endpoints.html#production-ready-endpoints-enabling-endpoints[enabled] and https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-endpoints.html#production-ready-endpoints-exposing-endpoints[exposed over HTTP or JMX] in the application properties. The following listing shows how to do so: .application.properties ==== [source,properties]
management.endpoint.gateway.enabled=true # default value management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=gateway
==== === Verbose Actuator Format A new, more verbose format has been added to Spring Cloud Gateway. It adds more detail to each route, letting you view the predicates and filters associated with each route along with any configuration that is available. The following example configures `/actuator/gateway/routes`: ==== [source,json]
[ { "predicate": "(Hosts: [**.addrequestheader.org] && Paths: [/headers], match trailing slash: true)", "route_id": "add_request_header_test", "filters": [ "[[AddResponseHeader X-Response-Default-Foo = 'Default-Bar'], order = 1]", "[[AddRequestHeader X-Request-Foo = 'Bar'], order = 1]", "[[PrefixPath prefix = '/httpbin'], order = 2]" ], "uri": "lb://testservice", "order": 0 } ]
==== This feature is enabled by default. To disable it, set the following property: .application.properties ==== [source,properties]
spring.cloud.gateway.actuator.verbose.enabled=false
==== This will default to `true` in a future release. === Retrieving Route Filters This section details how to retrieve route filters, including: * <<gateway-global-filters>> * <<gateway-route-filters>> [[gateway-global-filters]] ==== Global Filters To retrieve the <<global-filters,global filters>> applied to all routes, make a `GET` request to `/actuator/gateway/globalfilters`. The resulting response is similar to the following: ====
{ "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.ReactiveLoadBalancerClientFilter@77856cc5": 10100, "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.RouteToRequestUrlFilter@4f6fd101": 10000, "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.NettyWriteResponseFilter@32d22650": -1, "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.ForwardRoutingFilter@106459d9": 2147483647, "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.NettyRoutingFilter@1fbd5e0": 2147483647, "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.ForwardPathFilter@33a71d23": 0, "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.AdaptCachedBodyGlobalFilter@135064ea": 2147483637, "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.WebsocketRoutingFilter@23c05889": 2147483646 }
==== The response contains the details of the global filters that are in place. For each global filter, there is a string representation of the filter object (for example, `org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.ReactiveLoadBalancerClientFilter@77856cc5`) and the corresponding <<gateway-combined-global-filter-and-gatewayfilter-ordering,order>> in the filter chain.} [[gateway-route-filters]] ==== Route Filters To retrieve the <<gatewayfilter-factories,`GatewayFilter` factories>> applied to routes, make a `GET` request to `/actuator/gateway/routefilters`. The resulting response is similar to the following: ====
{ "[AddRequestHeaderGatewayFilterFactory@570ed9c configClass = AbstractNameValueGatewayFilterFactory.NameValueConfig]": null, "[SecureHeadersGatewayFilterFactory@fceab5d configClass = Object]": null, "[SaveSessionGatewayFilterFactory@4449b273 configClass = Object]": null }
==== The response contains the details of the `GatewayFilter` factories applied to any particular route. For each factory there is a string representation of the corresponding object (for example, `[SecureHeadersGatewayFilterFactory@fceab5d configClass = Object]`). Note that the `null` value is due to an incomplete implementation of the endpoint controller, because it tries to set the order of the object in the filter chain, which does not apply to a `GatewayFilter` factory object. === Refreshing the Route Cache To clear the routes cache, make a `POST` request to `/actuator/gateway/refresh`. The request returns a 200 without a response body. === Retrieving the Routes Defined in the Gateway To retrieve the routes defined in the gateway, make a `GET` request to `/actuator/gateway/routes`. The resulting response is similar to the following: ====
[{ "route_id": "first_route", "route_object": { "predicate": "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.handler.predicate.PathRoutePredicateFactoryLambda$432/1736826640@1e9d7e7d", "filters": [ "OrderedGatewayFilter{delegate=org.springframework.cloud.gateway.filter.factory.PreserveHostHeaderGatewayFilterFactoryLambda$436/674480275@6631ef72, order=0}" ] }, "order": 0 }, { "route_id": "second_route", "route_object": { "predicate": "org.springframework.cloud.gateway.handler.predicate.PathRoutePredicateFactory$$Lambda$432/1736826640@cd8d298", "filters": [] }, "order": 0 }]
==== The response contains the details of all the routes defined in the gateway. The following table describes the structure of each element (each is a route) of the response: [cols="3,2,4"] |=== | Path | Type | Description |`route_id` | String | The route ID. |`route_object.predicate` | Object | The route predicate. |`route_object.filters` | Array | The <<gatewayfilter-factories,`GatewayFilter` factories>> applied to the route. |`order` | Number | The route order. |=== [[gateway-retrieving-information-about-a-particular-route]] === Retrieving Information about a Particular Route To retrieve information about a single route, make a `GET` request to `/actuator/gateway/routes/{id}` (for example, `/actuator/gateway/routes/first_route`). The resulting response is similar to the following: ====
{ "id": "first_route", "predicates": [{ "name": "Path", "args": {"_genkey_0":"/first"} }], "filters": [], "uri": "https://www.uri-destination.org", "order": 0 }
==== The following table describes the structure of the response: [cols="3,2,4"] |=== | Path | Type | Description |`id` | String | The route ID. |`predicates` | Array | The collection of route predicates. Each item defines the name and the arguments of a given predicate. |`filters` | Array | The collection of filters applied to the route. |`uri` | String | The destination URI of the route. |`order` | Number | The route order. |=== === Creating and Deleting a Particular Route To create a route, make a `POST` request to `/gateway/routes/{id_route_to_create}` with a JSON body that specifies the fields of the route (see <<gateway-retrieving-information-about-a-particular-route>>). To delete a route, make a `DELETE` request to `/gateway/routes/{id_route_to_delete}`. === Recap: The List of All endpoints The folloiwng table below summarizes the Spring Cloud Gateway actuator endpoints (note that each endpoint has `/actuator/gateway` as the base-path): [cols="2,2,5"] |=== | ID | HTTP Method | Description |`globalfilters` |GET | Displays the list of global filters applied to the routes. |`routefilters` |GET | Displays the list of `GatewayFilter` factories applied to a particular route. |`refresh` |POST | Clears the routes cache. |`routes` |GET | Displays the list of routes defined in the gateway. |`routes/{id}` |GET | Displays information about a particular route. |`routes/{id}` |POST | Adds a new route to the gateway. |`routes/{id}` |DELETE | Removes an existing route from the gateway. |=== === Sharing Routes between multiple Gateway instances Spring Cloud Gateway offers two `RouteDefinitionRepository` implementations. The first one is the `InMemoryRouteDefinitionRepository` which only lives within the memory of one Gateway instance. This type of Repository is not suited to populate Routes across multiple Gateway instances. In order to share Routes across a cluster of Spring Cloud Gateway instances, `RedisRouteDefinitionRepository` can be used. To enable this kind of repository, the following property has to set to true: `spring.cloud.gateway.redis-route-definition-repository.enabled` Likewise to the RedisRateLimiter Filter Factory it requires the use of the spring-boot-starter-data-redis-reactive Spring Boot starter. [[troubleshooting]] == Troubleshooting This section covers common problems that may arise when you use Spring Cloud Gateway. === Log Levels The following loggers may contain valuable troubleshooting information at the `DEBUG` and `TRACE` levels: - `org.springframework.cloud.gateway` - `org.springframework.http.server.reactive` - `org.springframework.web.reactive` - `org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web` - `reactor.netty` - `redisratelimiter` === Wiretap The Reactor Netty `HttpClient` and `HttpServer` can have wiretap enabled. When combined with setting the `reactor.netty` log level to `DEBUG` or `TRACE`, it enables the logging of information, such as headers and bodies sent and received across the wire. To enable wiretap, set `spring.cloud.gateway.httpserver.wiretap=true` or `spring.cloud.gateway.httpclient.wiretap=true` for the `HttpServer` and `HttpClient`, respectively. == Developer Guide These are basic guides to writing some custom components of the gateway. === Writing Custom Route Predicate Factories In order to write a Route Predicate you will need to implement `RoutePredicateFactory` as a bean. There is an abstract class called `AbstractRoutePredicateFactory` which you can extend. .MyRoutePredicateFactory.java [source,java]
@Component public class MyRoutePredicateFactory extends AbstractRoutePredicateFactory<MyRoutePredicateFactory.Config> {
public MyRoutePredicateFactory() { super(Config.class); }
@Override public Predicate<ServerWebExchange> apply(Config config) { // grab configuration from Config object return exchange -> { //grab the request ServerHttpRequest request = exchange.getRequest(); //take information from the request to see if it //matches configuration. return matches(config, request); }; }
public static class Config { //Put the configuration properties for your filter here }
}
=== Writing Custom GatewayFilter Factories To write a `GatewayFilter`, you must implement `GatewayFilterFactory` as a bean. You can extend an abstract class called `AbstractGatewayFilterFactory`. The following examples show how to do so: .PreGatewayFilterFactory.java ==== [source,java]
@Component public class PreGatewayFilterFactory extends AbstractGatewayFilterFactory<PreGatewayFilterFactory.Config> {
public PreGatewayFilterFactory() { super(Config.class); }
@Override public GatewayFilter apply(Config config) { // grab configuration from Config object return (exchange, chain) -> { //If you want to build a "pre" filter you need to manipulate the //request before calling chain.filter ServerHttpRequest.Builder builder = exchange.getRequest().mutate(); //use builder to manipulate the request return chain.filter(exchange.mutate().request(builder.build()).build()); }; }
public static class Config { //Put the configuration properties for your filter here }
}
.PostGatewayFilterFactory.java [source,java]
@Component public class PostGatewayFilterFactory extends AbstractGatewayFilterFactory<PostGatewayFilterFactory.Config> {
public PostGatewayFilterFactory() { super(Config.class); }
@Override public GatewayFilter apply(Config config) { // grab configuration from Config object return (exchange, chain) -> { return chain.filter(exchange).then(Mono.fromRunnable(() -> { ServerHttpResponse response = exchange.getResponse(); //Manipulate the response in some way })); }; }
public static class Config { //Put the configuration properties for your filter here }
}
==== ==== Naming Custom Filters And References In Configuration Custom filters class names should end in `GatewayFilterFactory`. For example, to reference a filter named `Something` in configuration files, the filter must be in a class named `SomethingGatewayFilterFactory`. WARNING: It is possible to create a gateway filter named without the `GatewayFilterFactory` suffix, such as `class AnotherThing`. This filter could be referenced as `AnotherThing` in configuration files. This is **not** a supported naming convention and this syntax may be removed in future releases. Please update the filter name to be compliant. === Writing Custom Global Filters To write a custom global filter, you must implement `GlobalFilter` interface as a bean. This applies the filter to all requests. The following examples show how to set up global pre and post filters, respectively: ==== [source,java]
@Bean public GlobalFilter customGlobalFilter() { return (exchange, chain) → exchange.getPrincipal() .map(Principal::getName) .defaultIfEmpty("Default User") .map(userName → { //adds header to proxied request exchange.getRequest().mutate().header("CUSTOM-REQUEST-HEADER", userName).build(); return exchange; }) .flatMap(chain::filter); }
@Bean public GlobalFilter customGlobalPostFilter() { return (exchange, chain) → chain.filter(exchange) .then(Mono.just(exchange)) .map(serverWebExchange → { //adds header to response serverWebExchange.getResponse().getHeaders().set("CUSTOM-RESPONSE-HEADER", HttpStatus.OK.equals(serverWebExchange.getResponse().getStatusCode()) ? "It worked": "It did not work"); return serverWebExchange; }) .then(); }
==== == Building a Simple Gateway by Using Spring MVC or Webflux WARNING: The following describes an alternative style gateway. None of the prior documentation applies to what follows. Spring Cloud Gateway provides a utility object called `ProxyExchange`. You can use it inside a regular Spring web handler as a method parameter. It supports basic downstream HTTP exchanges through methods that mirror the HTTP verbs. With MVC, it also supports forwarding to a local handler through the `forward()` method. To use the `ProxyExchange`, include the right module in your classpath (either `spring-cloud-gateway-mvc` or `spring-cloud-gateway-webflux`). The following MVC example proxies a request to `/test` downstream to a remote server: ==== [source,java]
@RestController @SpringBootApplication public class GatewaySampleApplication {
@Value("${remote.home}") private URI home;
@GetMapping("/test") public ResponseEntity<?> proxy(ProxyExchange<byte[]> proxy) throws Exception { return proxy.uri(home.toString() + "/image/png").get(); }
}
==== The following example does the same thing with Webflux: ==== [source,java]
@RestController @SpringBootApplication public class GatewaySampleApplication {
@Value("${remote.home}") private URI home;
@GetMapping("/test") public Mono<ResponseEntity<?>> proxy(ProxyExchange<byte[]> proxy) throws Exception { return proxy.uri(home.toString() + "/image/png").get(); }
}
==== Convenience methods on the `ProxyExchange` enable the handler method to discover and enhance the URI path of the incoming request. For example, you might want to extract the trailing elements of a path to pass them downstream: ==== [source,java]
@GetMapping("/proxy/path/**") public ResponseEntity<?> proxyPath(ProxyExchange<byte[]> proxy) throws Exception { String path = proxy.path("/proxy/path/"); return proxy.uri(home.toString() + "/foos/" + path).get(); }
==== All the features of Spring MVC and Webflux are available to gateway handler methods. As a result, you can inject request headers and query parameters, for instance, and you can constrain the incoming requests with declarations in the mapping annotation. See the documentation for `@RequestMapping` in Spring MVC for more details of those features. You can add headers to the downstream response by using the `header()` methods on `ProxyExchange`. You can also manipulate response headers (and anything else you like in the response) by adding a mapper to the `get()` method (and other methods). The mapper is a `Function` that takes the incoming `ResponseEntity` and converts it to an outgoing one. First-class support is provided for "`sensitive`" headers (by default, `cookie` and `authorization`), which are not passed downstream, and for "`proxy`" (`x-forwarded-*`) headers. == Configuration properties To see the list of all Spring Cloud Gateway related configuration properties, see link:appendix.html[the appendix]. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-kubernetes :project-version: {spring-cloud-kubernetes-version} = Spring Cloud Kubernetes :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Kubernetes :all: {asterisk}{asterisk} This reference guide covers how to use Spring Cloud Kubernetes. == Why do you need Spring Cloud Kubernetes? Spring Cloud Kubernetes provides implementations of well known Spring Cloud interfaces allowing developers to build and run Spring Cloud applications on Kubernetes. While this project may be useful to you when building a cloud native application, it is also not a requirement in order to deploy a Spring Boot app on Kubernetes. If you are just getting started in your journey to running your Spring Boot app on Kubernetes you can accomplish a lot with nothing more than a basic Spring Boot app and Kubernetes itself. To learn more, you can get started by reading the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#cloud-deployment-kubernetes[Spring Boot reference documentation for deploying to Kubernetes ] and also working through the workshop material https://hackmd.io/@ryanjbaxter/spring-on-k8s-workshop[Spring and Kubernetes]. == Starters Starters are convenient dependency descriptors you can include in your application. Include a starter to get the dependencies and Spring Boot auto-configuration for a feature set. Starters that begin with `spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-fabric8` provide implementations using the https://github.com/fabric8io/kubernetes-client[Fabric8 Kubernetes Java Client]. Starters that begin with `spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-client` provide implementations using the https://github.com/kubernetes-client/java[Kubernetes Java Client].

| All Spring Cloud Kubernetes features. |=== == DiscoveryClient for Kubernetes This project provides an implementation of https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/blob/master/spring-cloud-commons/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/client/discovery/DiscoveryClient.java[Discovery Client] for https://kubernetes.io[Kubernetes]. This client lets you query Kubernetes endpoints (see https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/services/[services]) by name. A service is typically exposed by the Kubernetes API server as a collection of endpoints that represent `http` and `https` addresses and that a client can access from a Spring Boot application running as a pod. This is something that you get for free by adding the following dependency inside your project: ==== HTTP Based `DiscoveryClient` [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-discoveryclient</artifactId> </dependency>
==== NOTE: `spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-discoveryclient` is designed to be used with the <<spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver, Spring Cloud Kubernetes DiscoveryServer>>. ==== Fabric8 Kubernetes Client [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-fabric8</artifactId> </dependency>
==== ==== Kubernetes Java Client [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-client</artifactId> </dependency>
==== To enable loading of the `DiscoveryClient`, add `@EnableDiscoveryClient` to the according configuration or application class, as the following example shows: ==== [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication @EnableDiscoveryClient public class Application { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } }
==== Then you can inject the client in your code simply by autowiring it, as the following example shows: ==== [source,java]
@Autowired private DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;
==== You can choose to enable `DiscoveryClient` from all namespaces by setting the following property in `application.properties`: ==== [source]
spring.cloud.kubernetes.discovery.all-namespaces=true
==== To discover service endpoint addresses that are not marked as "ready" by the kubernetes api server, you can set the following property in `application.properties` (default: false): ==== [source]
spring.cloud.kubernetes.discovery.include-not-ready-addresses=true
NOTE: This might be useful when discovering services for monitoring purposes, and would enable inspecting the `/health` endpoint of not-ready service instances. ==== If your service exposes multiple ports, you will need to specify which port the `DiscoveryClient` should use. The `DiscoveryClient` will choose the port using the following logic. 1. If the service has a label `primary-port-name` it will use the port with the name specified in the label's value. 2. If no label is present, then the port name specified in `spring.cloud.kubernetes.discovery.primary-port-name` will be used. 3. If neither of the above are specified it will use the port named `https`. 4. If none of the above conditions are met it will use the port named `http`. 5. As a last resort it wil pick the first port in the list of ports. WARNING: The last option may result in non-deterministic behaviour. Please make sure to configure your service and/or application accordingly. By default all of the ports and their names will be added to the metadata of the `ServiceInstance`. If, for any reason, you need to disable the `DiscoveryClient`, you can set the following property in `application.properties`: ==== [source]
spring.cloud.kubernetes.discovery.enabled=false
==== Some Spring Cloud components use the `DiscoveryClient` in order to obtain information about the local service instance. For this to work, you need to align the Kubernetes service name with the `spring.application.name` property. NOTE: `spring.application.name` has no effect as far as the name registered for the application within Kubernetes Spring Cloud Kubernetes can also watch the Kubernetes service catalog for changes and update the `DiscoveryClient` implementation accordingly. In order to enable this functionality you need to add `@EnableScheduling` on a configuration class in your application. == Kubernetes native service discovery Kubernetes itself is capable of (server side) service discovery (see: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#discovering-services). Using native kubernetes service discovery ensures compatibility with additional tooling, such as Istio (https://istio.io), a service mesh that is capable of load balancing, circuit breaker, failover, and much more. The caller service then need only refer to names resolvable in a particular Kubernetes cluster. A simple implementation might use a spring `RestTemplate` that refers to a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as `https://{service-name}.{namespace}.svc.{cluster}.local:{service-port}`. Additionally, you can use Hystrix for: * Circuit breaker implementation on the caller side, by annotating the spring boot application class with `@EnableCircuitBreaker` * Fallback functionality, by annotating the respective method with `@HystrixCommand(fallbackMethod=` == Kubernetes PropertySource implementations The most common approach to configuring your Spring Boot application is to create an `application.properties` or `application.yaml` or an `application-profile.properties` or `application-profile.yaml` file that contains key-value pairs that provide customization values to your application or Spring Boot starters. You can override these properties by specifying system properties or environment variables. [[configmap-propertysource]] === Using a `ConfigMap` `PropertySource` Kubernetes provides a resource named https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/configmap/[`ConfigMap`] to externalize the parameters to pass to your application in the form of key-value pairs or embedded `application.properties` or `application.yaml` files. The link:https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-kubernetes/tree/master/spring-cloud-kubernetes-fabric8-config[Spring Cloud Kubernetes Config] project makes Kubernetes `ConfigMap` instances available during application bootstrapping and triggers hot reloading of beans or Spring context when changes are detected on observed `ConfigMap` instances. The default behavior is to create a `Fabric8ConfigMapPropertySource` based on a Kubernetes `ConfigMap` that has a `metadata.name` value of either the name of your Spring application (as defined by its `spring.application.name` property) or a custom name defined within the `bootstrap.properties` file under the following key: `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.name`. However, more advanced configuration is possible where you can use multiple `ConfigMap` instances. The `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.sources` list makes this possible. For example, you could define the following `ConfigMap` instances: ==== [source,yaml]
spring: application: name: cloud-k8s-app cloud: kubernetes: config: name: default-name namespace: default-namespace sources: # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a ConfigMap named c1 in namespace default-namespace - name: c1 # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a ConfigMap named default-name in whatever namespace n2 - namespace: n2 # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a ConfigMap named c3 in namespace n3 - namespace: n3 name: c3
==== In the preceding example, if `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.namespace` had not been set, the `ConfigMap` named `c1` would be looked up in the namespace that the application runs. See <<namespace-resolution,Namespace resolution>> to get a better understanding of how the namespace of the application is resolved. Any matching `ConfigMap` that is found is processed as follows: * Apply individual configuration properties. * Apply as `yaml` the content of any property named `application.yaml`. * Apply as a properties file the content of any property named `application.properties`. The single exception to the aforementioned flow is when the `ConfigMap` contains a *single* key that indicates the file is a YAML or properties file. In that case, the name of the key does NOT have to be `application.yaml` or `application.properties` (it can be anything) and the value of the property is treated correctly. This features facilitates the use case where the `ConfigMap` was created by using something like the following: ==== [source]
kubectl create configmap game-config --from-file=/path/to/app-config.yaml
==== Assume that we have a Spring Boot application named `demo` that uses the following properties to read its thread pool configuration. * `pool.size.core` * `pool.size.maximum` This can be externalized to config map in `yaml` format as follows: ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: demo data: pool.size.core: 1 pool.size.max: 16
==== Individual properties work fine for most cases. However, sometimes, embedded `yaml` is more convenient. In this case, we use a single property named `application.yaml` to embed our `yaml`, as follows: ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: demo data: application.yaml: |- pool: size: core: 1 max:16
==== The following example also works: ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: demo data: custom-name.yaml: |- pool: size: core: 1 max:16
==== You can also configure Spring Boot applications differently depending on active profiles that are merged together when the `ConfigMap` is read. You can provide different property values for different profiles by using an `application.properties` or `application.yaml` property, specifying profile-specific values, each in their own document (indicated by the `---` sequence), as follows: ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: demo data: application.yml: |- greeting: message: Say Hello to the World farewell: message: Say Goodbye --- spring: profiles: development greeting: message: Say Hello to the Developers farewell: message: Say Goodbye to the Developers --- spring: profiles: production greeting: message: Say Hello to the Ops
==== In the preceding case, the configuration loaded into your Spring Application with the `development` profile is as follows: ==== [source,yaml]
greeting: message: Say Hello to the Developers farewell: message: Say Goodbye to the Developers
==== However, if the `production` profile is active, the configuration becomes: ==== [source,yaml]
greeting: message: Say Hello to the Ops farewell: message: Say Goodbye
==== If both profiles are active, the property that appears last within the `ConfigMap` overwrites any preceding values. Another option is to create a different config map per profile and spring boot will automatically fetch it based on active profiles ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: demo data: application.yml: |- greeting: message: Say Hello to the World farewell: message: Say Goodbye
==== ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: demo-development data: application.yml: |- spring: profiles: development greeting: message: Say Hello to the Developers farewell: message: Say Goodbye to the Developers
==== ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: demo-production data: application.yml: |- spring: profiles: production greeting: message: Say Hello to the Ops farewell: message: Say Goodbye
==== To tell Spring Boot which `profile` should be enabled at bootstrap, you can pass `SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE` environment variable. To do so, you can launch your Spring Boot application with an environment variable that you can define it in the PodSpec at the container specification. Deployment resource file, as follows: ==== [source,yaml]
apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: deployment-name labels: app: deployment-name spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: app: deployment-name template: metadata: labels: app: deployment-name spec: containers: - name: container-name image: your-image env: - name: SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE value: "development"
==== You could run into a situation where there are multiple configs maps that have the same property names. For example: ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: config-map-one data: application.yml: |- greeting: message: Say Hello from one
==== and ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: config-map-two data: application.yml: |- greeting: message: Say Hello from two
==== Depending on the order in which you place these in `bootstrap.yaml|properties`, you might end up with an un-expected result (the last config map wins). For example: ==== [source,yaml]
spring: application: name: cloud-k8s-app cloud: kubernetes: config: namespace: default-namespace sources: - name: config-map-two - name: config-map-one
==== will result in property `greetings.message` being `Say Hello from one`. There is a way to change this default configuration by specifying `useNameAsPrefix`. For example: ==== [source,yaml]
spring: application: name: with-prefix cloud: kubernetes: config: useNameAsPrefix: true namespace: default-namespace sources: - name: config-map-one useNameAsPrefix: false - name: config-map-two
==== Such a configuration will result in two properties being generated: - `greetings.message` equal to `Say Hello from one`. - `config-map-two.greetings.message` equal to `Say Hello from two` Notice that `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.useNameAsPrefix` has a _lower_ priority than `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.sources.useNameAsPrefix`. This allows you to set a "default" strategy for all sources, at the same time allowing to override only a few. If using the config map name is not an option, you can specify a different strategy, called : `explicitPrefix`. Since this is an _explicit_ prefix that you select, it can only be supplied to the `sources` level. At the same time it has a higher priority than `useNameASPrefix`. Let's suppose we have a third config map with these entries: ==== [source,yaml]
kind: ConfigMap apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: config-map-three data: application.yml: |- greeting: message: Say Hello from three
==== A configuration like the one below: ==== [source,yaml]
spring: application: name: with-prefix cloud: kubernetes: config: useNameAsPrefix: true namespace: default-namespace sources: - name: config-map-one useNameAsPrefix: false - name: config-map-two explicitPrefix: two - name: config-map-three
==== will result in three properties being generated: - `greetings.message` equal to `Say Hello from one`. - `two.greetings.message` equal to `Say Hello from two`. - `config-map-three.greetings.message` equal to `Say Hello from three`. NOTE: You should check the security configuration section. To access config maps from inside a pod you need to have the correct Kubernetes service accounts, roles and role bindings. Another option for using `ConfigMap` instances is to mount them into the Pod by running the Spring Cloud Kubernetes application and having Spring Cloud Kubernetes read them from the file system. This behavior is controlled by the `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.paths` property. You can use it in addition to or instead of the mechanism described earlier. You can specify multiple (exact) file paths in `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.paths` by using the `,` delimiter. NOTE: You have to provide the full exact path to each property file, because directories are not being recursively parsed. NOTE: If you use `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.paths` or `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.path` the automatic reload functionality will not work. You will need to make a `POST` request to the `/actuator/refresh` endpoint or restart/redeploy the application. .Properties: [options="header,footer"] |=== | Name | Type | Default | Description | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.enabled` | `Boolean` | `true` | Enable ConfigMaps `PropertySource` | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.name` | `String` | `${spring.application.name}` | Sets the name of `ConfigMap` to look up | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.namespace` | `String` | Client namespace | Sets the Kubernetes namespace where to lookup | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.paths` | `List` | `null` | Sets the paths where `ConfigMap` instances are mounted | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.enableApi` | `Boolean` | `true` | Enable or disable consuming `ConfigMap` instances through APIs |=== === Secrets PropertySource Kubernetes has the notion of https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/[Secrets] for storing sensitive data such as passwords, OAuth tokens, and so on. This project provides integration with `Secrets` to make secrets accessible by Spring Boot applications. You can explicitly enable or disable This feature by setting the `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.enabled` property. When enabled, the `Fabric8SecretsPropertySource` looks up Kubernetes for `Secrets` from the following sources: . Reading recursively from secrets mounts . Named after the application (as defined by `spring.application.name`) . Matching some labels *Note:* By default, consuming Secrets through the API (points 2 and 3 above) *is not enabled* for security reasons. The permission 'list' on secrets allows clients to inspect secrets values in the specified namespace. Further, we recommend that containers share secrets through mounted volumes. If you enable consuming Secrets through the API, we recommend that you limit access to Secrets by using an authorization policy, such as RBAC. For more information about risks and best practices when consuming Secrets through the API refer to https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/#best-practices[this doc]. If the secrets are found, their data is made available to the application. Assume that we have a spring boot application named `demo` that uses properties to read its database configuration. We can create a Kubernetes secret by using the following command: ==== [source]
kubectl create secret generic db-secret --from-literal=username=user --from-literal=password=p455w0rd
==== The preceding command would create the following secret (which you can see by using `kubectl get secrets db-secret -o yaml`): ==== [source,yaml]
apiVersion: v1 data: password: cDQ1NXcwcmQ= username: dXNlcg== kind: Secret metadata: creationTimestamp: 2017-07-04T09:15:57Z name: db-secret namespace: default resourceVersion: "357496" selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets/db-secret uid: 63c89263-6099-11e7-b3da-76d6186905a8 type: Opaque
==== Note that the data contains Base64-encoded versions of the literal provided by the `create` command. Your application can then use this secret -- for example, by exporting the secret's value as environment variables: ==== [source,yaml]
apiVersion: v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: ${project.artifactId} spec: template: spec: containers: - env: - name: DB_USERNAME valueFrom: secretKeyRef: name: db-secret key: username - name: DB_PASSWORD valueFrom: secretKeyRef: name: db-secret key: password
==== You can select the Secrets to consume in a number of ways: . By listing the directories where secrets are mapped: + ==== [source,bash]
-Dspring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.paths=/etc/secrets/db-secret,etc/secrets/postgresql
==== + If you have all the secrets mapped to a common root, you can set them like: + ==== [source,bash]
-Dspring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.paths=/etc/secrets
==== . By setting a named secret: + ==== [source,bash]
-Dspring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.name=db-secret
==== . By defining a list of labels: + ==== [source,bash]
-Dspring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.labels.broker=activemq -Dspring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.labels.db=postgresql
==== As the case with `ConfigMap`, more advanced configuration is also possible where you can use multiple `Secret` instances. The `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.sources` list makes this possible. For example, you could define the following `Secret` instances: ==== [source,yaml]
spring: application: name: cloud-k8s-app cloud: kubernetes: secrets: name: default-name namespace: default-namespace sources: # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a Secret named s1 in namespace default-namespace - name: s1 # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a Secret named default-name in namespace n2 - namespace: n2 # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a Secret named s3 in namespace n3 - namespace: n3 name: s3
==== In the preceding example, if `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.namespace` had not been set, the `Secret` named `s1` would be looked up in the namespace that the application runs. See <<namespace-resolution,namespace-resolution>> to get a better understanding of how the namespace of the application is resolved. .Properties: [options="header,footer"] |=== | Name | Type | Default | Description | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.enabled` | `Boolean` | `true` | Enable Secrets `PropertySource` | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.name` | `String` | `${spring.application.name}` | Sets the name of the secret to look up | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.namespace` | `String` | Client namespace | Sets the Kubernetes namespace where to look up | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.labels` | `Map` | `null` | Sets the labels used to lookup secrets | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.paths` | `List` | `null` | Sets the paths where secrets are mounted (example 1) | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.enableApi` | `Boolean` | `false` | Enables or disables consuming secrets through APIs (examples 2 and 3) |=== Notes: * The `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.labels` property behaves as defined by https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-Configuration-Binding#map-based-binding[Map-based binding]. * The `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.paths` property behaves as defined by https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-Configuration-Binding#collection-based-binding[Collection-based binding]. * Access to secrets through the API may be restricted for security reasons. The preferred way is to mount secrets to the Pod. You can find an example of an application that uses secrets (though it has not been updated to use the new `spring-cloud-kubernetes` project) at https://github.com/fabric8-quickstarts/spring-boot-camel-config[spring-boot-camel-config] [[namespace-resolution]] === Namespace resolution Finding an application namespace happens on a best-effort basis. There are some steps that we iterate in order to find it. The easiest and most common one, is to specify it in the proper configuration, for example: ==== [source,yaml]
spring: application: name: app cloud: kubernetes: secrets: name: secret namespace: default sources: # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a Secret named 'a' in namespace 'default' - name: a # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a Secret named 'secret' in namespace 'b' - namespace: b # Spring Cloud Kubernetes looks up a Secret named 'd' in namespace 'c' - namespace: c name: d
==== Remember that the same can be done for config maps. If such a namespace is not specified, it will be read (in this order): 1. from property `spring.cloud.kubernetes.client.namespace` 2. from a String residing in a file denoted by `spring.cloud.kubernetes.client.serviceAccountNamespacePath` property 3. from a String residing in `/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/namespace` file (kubernetes default namespace path) 4. from a designated client method call (for example fabric8's : `KubernetesClient::getNamespace`), if the client provides such a method. Failure to find a namespace from the above steps will result in an Exception being raised. === `PropertySource` Reload WARNING: This functionality has been deprecated in the 2020.0 release. Please see the <<spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher>> controller for an alternative way to achieve the same functionality. Some applications may need to detect changes on external property sources and update their internal status to reflect the new configuration. The reload feature of Spring Cloud Kubernetes is able to trigger an application reload when a related `ConfigMap` or `Secret` changes. By default, this feature is disabled. You can enable it by using the `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.enabled=true` configuration property (for example, in the `application.properties` file). The following levels of reload are supported (by setting the `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.strategy` property): * `refresh` (default): Only configuration beans annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties` or `@RefreshScope` are reloaded. This reload level leverages the refresh feature of Spring Cloud Context. * `restart_context`: the whole Spring `ApplicationContext` is gracefully restarted. Beans are recreated with the new configuration. In order for the restart context functionality to work properly you must enable and expose the restart actuator endpoint [source,yaml] ====
management: endpoint: restart: enabled: true endpoints: web: exposure: include: restart
==== * `shutdown`: the Spring `ApplicationContext` is shut down to activate a restart of the container. When you use this level, make sure that the lifecycle of all non-daemon threads is bound to the `ApplicationContext` and that a replication controller or replica set is configured to restart the pod. Assuming that the reload feature is enabled with default settings (`refresh` mode), the following bean is refreshed when the config map changes: ==== [java, source]
@Configuration @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "bean") public class MyConfig {
private String message = "a message that can be changed live";
// getter and setters
}
==== To see that changes effectively happen, you can create another bean that prints the message periodically, as follows ==== [source,java]
@Component public class MyBean {
@Autowired private MyConfig config;
@Scheduled(fixedDelay = 5000) public void hello() { System.out.println("The message is: " + config.getMessage()); } }
==== You can change the message printed by the application by using a `ConfigMap`, as follows: ==== [source,yaml]
apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: reload-example data: application.properties: |- bean.message=Hello World!
==== Any change to the property named `bean.message` in the `ConfigMap` associated with the pod is reflected in the output. More generally speaking, changes associated to properties prefixed with the value defined by the `prefix` field of the `@ConfigurationProperties` annotation are detected and reflected in the application. <<configmap-propertysource,Associating a `ConfigMap` with a pod>> is explained earlier in this chapter. The full example is available in https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-kubernetes/tree/main/spring-cloud-kubernetes-examples/kubernetes-reload-example[`spring-cloud-kubernetes-reload-example`]. The reload feature supports two operating modes: * Event (default): Watches for changes in config maps or secrets by using the Kubernetes API (web socket). Any event produces a re-check on the configuration and, in case of changes, a reload. The `view` role on the service account is required in order to listen for config map changes. A higher level role (such as `edit`) is required for secrets (by default, secrets are not monitored). * Polling: Periodically re-creates the configuration from config maps and secrets to see if it has changed. You can configure the polling period by using the `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.period` property and defaults to 15 seconds. It requires the same role as the monitored property source. This means, for example, that using polling on file-mounted secret sources does not require particular privileges. .Properties: [options="header,footer"] |=== | Name | Type | Default | Description | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.enabled` | `Boolean` | `false` | Enables monitoring of property sources and configuration reload | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.monitoring-config-maps` | `Boolean` | `true` | Allow monitoring changes in config maps | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.monitoring-secrets` | `Boolean` | `false` | Allow monitoring changes in secrets | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.strategy` | `Enum` | `refresh` | The strategy to use when firing a reload (`refresh`, `restart_context`, or `shutdown`) | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.mode` | `Enum` | `event` | Specifies how to listen for changes in property sources (`event` or `polling`) | `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload.period` | `Duration`| `15s` | The period for verifying changes when using the `polling` strategy |=== Notes: * You should not use properties under `spring.cloud.kubernetes.reload` in config maps or secrets. Changing such properties at runtime may lead to unexpected results. * Deleting a property or the whole config map does not restore the original state of the beans when you use the `refresh` level. == Kubernetes Ecosystem Awareness All of the features described earlier in this guide work equally well, regardless of whether your application is running inside Kubernetes. This is really helpful for development and troubleshooting. From a development point of view, this lets you start your Spring Boot application and debug one of the modules that is part of this project. You need not deploy it in Kubernetes, as the code of the project relies on the https://github.com/fabric8io/kubernetes-client[Fabric8 Kubernetes Java client], which is a fluent DSL that can communicate by using `http` protocol to the REST API of the Kubernetes Server. To disable the integration with Kubernetes you can set `spring.cloud.kubernetes.enabled` to `false`. Please be aware that when `spring-cloud-kubernetes-config` is on the classpath, `spring.cloud.kubernetes.enabled` should be set in `bootstrap.{properties|yml}` (or the profile specific one), otherwise it should be in `application.{properties|yml}` (or the profile specific one). Because of the way we set up a specific `EnvironmentPostProcessor` in `spring-cloud-kubernetes-config`, you also need to disable that processor via a system property (or an environment variable), for example you could start your application via `-DSPRING_CLOUD_KUBERNETES_ENABLED=false` (any form of relaxed binding will work too). Also note that these properties: `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.enabled` and `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.enabled` only take effect when set in `bootstrap.{properties|yml}` === Kubernetes Profile Autoconfiguration When the application runs as a pod inside Kubernetes, a Spring profile named `kubernetes` automatically gets activated. This lets you customize the configuration, to define beans that are applied when the Spring Boot application is deployed within the Kubernetes platform (for example, different development and production configuration). === Istio Awareness When you include the `spring-cloud-kubernetes-fabric8-istio` module in the application classpath, a new profile is added to the application, provided the application is running inside a Kubernetes Cluster with https://istio.io[Istio] installed. You can then use spring `@Profile("istio")` annotations in your Beans and `@Configuration` classes. The Istio awareness module uses `me.snowdrop:istio-client` to interact with Istio APIs, letting us discover traffic rules, circuit breakers, and so on, making it easy for our Spring Boot applications to consume this data to dynamically configure themselves according to the environment. == Pod Health Indicator Spring Boot uses https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/master/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/actuate/health/HealthEndpoint.java[`HealthIndicator`] to expose info about the health of an application. That makes it really useful for exposing health-related information to the user and makes it a good fit for use as https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-probes/[readiness probes]. The Kubernetes health indicator (which is part of the core module) exposes the following info: * Pod name, IP address, namespace, service account, node name, and its IP address * A flag that indicates whether the Spring Boot application is internal or external to Kubernetes You can disable this `HealthContributor` by setting `management.health.kubernetes.enabled` to `false` in `application.[properties | yaml]`. == Info Contributor Spring Cloud Kubernetes includes an `InfoContributor` which adds Pod information to Spring Boot's `/info` Acturator endpoint. You can disable this `InfoContributor` by setting `management.info.kubernetes.enabled` to `false` in `application.[properties | yaml]`. == Leader Election The Spring Cloud Kubernetes leader election mechanism implements the leader election API of Spring Integration using a Kubernetes ConfigMap. Multiple application instances compete for leadership, but leadership will only be granted to one. When granted leadership, a leader application receives an `OnGrantedEvent` application event with leadership `Context`. Applications periodically attempt to gain leadership, with leadership granted to the first caller. A leader will remain a leader until either it is removed from the cluster, or it yields its leadership. When leadership removal occurs, the previous leader receives `OnRevokedEvent` application event. After removal, any instances in the cluster may become the new leader, including the old leader. To include it in your project, add the following dependency. ==== Fabric8 Leader Implementation [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-kubernetes-fabric8-leader</artifactId> </dependency>
==== To specify the name of the configmap used for leader election use the following property. ==== [source,properties]
spring.cloud.kubernetes.leader.config-map-name=leader
==== == LoadBalancer for Kubernetes This project includes Spring Cloud Load Balancer for load balancing based on Kubernetes Endpoints and provides implementation of load balancer based on Kubernetes Service. To include it to your project add the following dependency. ==== Fabric8 Implementation [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-fabric8-loadbalancer</artifactId> </dependency>
==== ==== Kubernetes Java Client Implementation [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-client-loadbalancer</artifactId> </dependency>
==== To enable load balancing based on Kubernetes Service name use the following property. Then load balancer would try to call application using address, for example `service-a.default.svc.cluster.local` ==== [source]
spring.cloud.kubernetes.loadbalancer.mode=SERVICE
==== To enabled load balancing across all namespaces use the following property. Property from `spring-cloud-kubernetes-discovery` module is respected. ==== [source]
spring.cloud.kubernetes.discovery.all-namespaces=true
==== If a service needs to be accessed over HTTPS you need to add a label or annotation to your service definition with the name `secured` and the value `true` and the load balancer will then use HTTPS to make requests to the service. == Security Configurations Inside Kubernetes === Namespace Most of the components provided in this project need to know the namespace. For Kubernetes (1.3+), the namespace is made available to the pod as part of the service account secret and is automatically detected by the client. For earlier versions, it needs to be specified as an environment variable to the pod. A quick way to do this is as follows: ==== [source]
env: - name: "KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE" valueFrom: fieldRef: fieldPath: "metadata.namespace"
==== === Service Account For distributions of Kubernetes that support more fine-grained role-based access within the cluster, you need to make sure a pod that runs with `spring-cloud-kubernetes` has access to the Kubernetes API. For any service accounts you assign to a deployment or pod, you need to make sure they have the correct roles. Depending on the requirements, you'll need `get`, `list` and `watch` permission on the following resources: .Kubernetes Resource Permissions |=== |Dependency | Resources |spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-fabric8 |pods, services, endpoints |spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-fabric8-config |configmaps, secrets |spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-client |pods, services, endpoints |spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-client-config |configmaps, secrets |=== For development purposes, you can add `cluster-reader` permissions to your `default` service account. On a production system you'll likely want to provide more granular permissions. The following Role and RoleBinding are an example for namespaced permissions for the `default` account: ==== [source,yaml]
kind: Role apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 metadata: namespace: YOUR-NAME-SPACE name: namespace-reader rules: - apiGroups: [""] resources: ["configmaps", "pods", "services", "endpoints", "secrets"] verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
kind: RoleBinding apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 metadata: name: namespace-reader-binding namespace: YOUR-NAME-SPACE subjects: - kind: ServiceAccount name: default apiGroup: "" roleRef: kind: Role name: namespace-reader apiGroup: ""
==== == Service Registry Implementation In Kubernetes service registration is controlled by the platform, the application itself does not control registration as it may do in other platforms. For this reason using `spring.cloud.service-registry.auto-registration.enabled` or setting `@EnableDiscoveryClient(autoRegister=false)` will have no effect in Spring Cloud Kubernetes. [#spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher] ## Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher Kubernetes provides the ability to https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-pod-configmap/#add-configmap-data-to-a-volume[mount a ConfigMap or Secret as a volume] in the container of your application. When the contents of the ConfigMap or Secret changes, the https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-pod-configmap/#mounted-configmaps-are-updated-automatically[mounted volume will be updated with those changes]. However, Spring Boot will not automatically update those changes unless you restart the application. Spring Cloud provides the ability refresh the application context without restarting the application by either hitting the actuator endpoint `/refresh` or via publishing a `RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent` using Spring Cloud Bus. To achieve this configuration refresh of a Spring Cloud app running on Kubernetes, you can deploy the Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher controller into your Kubernetes cluster. The application is published as a container and is available on https://hub.docker.com/r/springcloud/spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher[Docker Hub]. Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher can send refresh notifications to applications in two ways. 1. Over HTTP in which case the application being notified must of the `/refresh` actuator endpoint exposed and accessible from within the cluster 2. Using Spring Cloud Bus, in which case you will need a message broker deployed to your custer for the application to use. ### Deployment YAML Below is a sample deployment YAML you can use to deploy the Kubernetes Configuration Watcher to Kubernetes. ==== [source,yaml]
apiVersion: v1 kind: List items: - apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: labels: app: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher name: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher spec: ports: - name: http port: 8888 targetPort: 8888 selector: app: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher type: ClusterIP - apiVersion: v1 kind: ServiceAccount metadata: labels: app: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher name: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher - apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: RoleBinding metadata: labels: app: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher name: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher:view roleRef: kind: Role apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io name: namespace-reader subjects: - kind: ServiceAccount name: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher - apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: Role metadata: namespace: default name: namespace-reader rules: - apiGroups: ["", "extensions", "apps"] resources: ["configmaps", "pods", "services", "endpoints", "secrets"] verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"] - apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher-deployment spec: selector: matchLabels: app: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher template: metadata: labels: app: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher spec: serviceAccount: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher containers: - name: spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher image: springcloud/spring-cloud-kubernetes-configuration-watcher:2.0.1-SNAPSHOT imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent readinessProbe: httpGet: port: 8888 path: /actuator/health/readiness livenessProbe: httpGet: port: 8888 path: /actuator/health/liveness ports: - containerPort: 8888
==== The Service Account and associated Role Binding is important for Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration to work properly. The controller needs access to read data about ConfigMaps, Pods, Services, Endpoints and Secrets in the Kubernetes cluster. ### Monitoring ConfigMaps and Secrets Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher will react to changes in ConfigMaps with a label of `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config` with the value `true` or any Secret with a label of `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secret` with the value `true`. If the ConfigMap or Secret does not have either of those labels or the values of those labels is not `true` then any changes will be ignored. The labels Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher looks for on ConfigMaps and Secrets can be changed by setting `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configuration.watcher.configLabel` and `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configuration.watcher.secretLabel` respectively. If a change is made to a ConfigMap or Secret with valid labels then Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher will take the name of the ConfigMap or Secret and send a notification to the application with that name. ### HTTP Implementation The HTTP implementation is what is used by default. When this implementation is used Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher and a change to a ConfigMap or Secret occurs then the HTTP implementation will use the Spring Cloud Kubernetes Discovery Client to fetch all instances of the application which match the name of the ConfigMap or Secret and send an HTTP POST request to the application's actuator `/refresh` endpoint. By default it will send the post request to `/actuator/refresh` using the port registered in the discovery client. #### Non-Default Management Port and Actuator Path If the application is using a non-default actuator path and/or using a different port for the management endpoints, the Kubernetes service for the application can add an annotation called `boot.spring.io/actuator` and set its value to the path and port used by the application. For example ==== [source,yaml]
apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: labels: app: config-map-demo name: config-map-demo annotations: boot.spring.io/actuator: :9090/myactuator/home spec: ports: - name: http port: 8080 targetPort: 8080 selector: app: config-map-demo
==== Another way you can choose to configure the actuator path and/or management port is by setting `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configuration.watcher.actuatorPath` and `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configuration.watcher.actuatorPort`. ### Messaging Implementation The messaging implementation can be enabled by setting profile to either `bus-amqp` (RabbitMQ) or `bus-kafka` (Kafka) when the Spring Cloud Kubernetes Configuration Watcher application is deployed to Kubernetes. ### Configuring RabbitMQ When the `bus-amqp` profile is enabled you will need to configure Spring RabbitMQ to point it to the location of the RabbitMQ instance you would like to use as well as any credentials necessary to authenticate. This can be done by setting the standard Spring RabbitMQ properties, for example ==== [source,yaml]
spring: rabbitmq: username: user password: password host: rabbitmq
==== ### Configuring Kafka When the `bus-kafka` profile is enabled you will need to configure Spring Kafka to point it to the location of the Kafka Broker instance you would like to use. This can be done by setting the standard Spring Kafka properties, for example ==== [source,yaml]
spring: kafka: producer: bootstrap-servers: localhost:9092
==== [#spring-cloud-kubernetes-configserver] ## Spring Cloud Kubernetes Config Server The Spring Cloud Kubernetes Config Server, is based on https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-config[Spring Cloud Config Server] and adds an https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/docs/current/reference/html/#_environment_repository[environment repository] for Kubernetes https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/[Config Maps] and https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/[Secrets]. This is component is completely optional. However, it allows you to continue to leverage configuration you may have stored in existing environment repositories (Git, SVN, Vault, etc) with applications that you are running on Kubernetes. A default image is located on Docker Hub which will allow you to easily get a Config Server deployed on Kubernetes without building the code and image yourself. However, if you need to customize the config server behavior you can easily build your own image from the source code on GitHub and use that. ### Configuration #### Enabling The Kubernetes Environment Repository To enable the Kubernetes environment repository the `kubernetes` profile must be included in the list of active profiles. You may activate other profiles as well to use other environment repository implementations. #### Config Map and Secret PropertySources By default, only Config Map data will be fetched. To enable Secrets as well you will need to set `spring.cloud.kubernetes.secrets.enableApi=true`. You can disable the Config Map `PropertySource` by setting `spring.cloud.kubernetes.config.enableApi=false`. #### Fetching Config Map and Secret Data From Additional Namespaces By default, the Kubernetes environment repository will only fetch Config Map and Secrets from the namespace in which it is deployed. If you want to include data from other namespaces you can set `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configserver.config-map-namespaces` and/or `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configserver.secrets-namespaces` to a comma separated list of namespace values. NOTE: If you set `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configserver.config-map-namespaces` and/or `spring.cloud.kubernetes.configserver.secrets-namespaces` you will need to include the namespace in which the Config Server is deployed in order to continue to fetch Config Map and Secret data from that namespace. #### Kubernetes Access Controls The Kubernetes Config Server uses the Kubernetes API server to fetch Config Map and Secret data. In order for it to do that it needs ability to `get` and `list` Config Map and Secrets (depending on what you enable/disable). ### Deployment Yaml Below is a sample deployment, service and permissions configuration you can use to deploy a basic Config Server to Kubernetes. ==== [source,yaml]

==== [#spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver] ## Spring Cloud Kubernetes Discovery Server The Spring Cloud Kubernetes Discovery Server provides HTTP endpoints apps can use to gather information about services available within a Kubernetes cluster. The Spring Cloud Kubernetes Discovery Server can be used by apps using the `spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-discoveryclient` to provide data to the `DiscoveryClient` implementation provided by that starter. ### Permissions The Spring Cloud Discovery server uses the Kubernetes API server to get data about Service and Endpoint resrouces so it needs list, watch, and get permissions to use those endpoints. See the below sample Kubernetes deployment YAML for an examlpe of how to configure the Service Account on Kubernetes. ### Endpoints There are three endpoints exposed by the server. #### `/apps` A `GET` request sent to `/apps` will return a JSON array of available services. Each item contains the name of the Kubernetes service and service instance information. Below is a sample response. ==== [source,json]
[ { "name":"spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver", "serviceInstances":[ { "instanceId":"836a2f25-daee-4af2-a1be-aab9ce2b938f", "serviceId":"spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver", "host":"10.244.1.6", "port":8761, "uri":"http://10.244.1.6:8761", "secure":false, "metadata":{ "app":"spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver", "kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration":"{\"apiVersion\":\"v1\",\"kind\":\"Service\",\"metadata\":{\"annotations\":{},\"labels\":{\"app\":\"spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver\"},\"name\":\"spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver\",\"namespace\":\"default\"},\"spec\":{\"ports\":[{\"name\":\"http\",\"port\":80,\"targetPort\":8761}],\"selector\":{\"app\":\"spring-cloud-kubernetes-discoveryserver\"},\"type\":\"ClusterIP\"}}\n", "http":"8761" }, "namespace":"default", "scheme":"http" } ] }, { "name":"kubernetes", "serviceInstances":[ { "instanceId":"1234", "serviceId":"kubernetes", "host":"172.18.0.3", "port":6443, "uri":"http://172.18.0.3:6443", "secure":false, "metadata":{ "provider":"kubernetes", "component":"apiserver", "https":"6443" }, "namespace":"default", "scheme":"http" } ] } ]
==== #### `/app/{name}` A `GET` request to `/app/{name}` can be used to get instance data for all instances of a given service. Below is a sample response when a `GET` request is made to `/app/kubernetes`. ==== [source,json]
[ { "instanceId":"1234", "serviceId":"kubernetes", "host":"172.18.0.3", "port":6443, "uri":"http://172.18.0.3:6443", "secure":false, "metadata":{ "provider":"kubernetes", "component":"apiserver", "https":"6443" }, "namespace":"default", "scheme":"http" } ]
==== #### `/app/{name}/{instanceid}` A `GET` request made to `/app/{name}/{instanceid}` will return the instance data for a specific instance of a given service. Below is a sample response when a `GET` request is made to `/app/kubernetes/1234`. ==== [source,json]
{ "instanceId":"1234", "serviceId":"kubernetes", "host":"172.18.0.3", "port":6443, "uri":"http://172.18.0.3:6443", "secure":false, "metadata":{ "provider":"kubernetes", "component":"apiserver", "https":"6443" }, "namespace":"default", "scheme":"http" }

==== == Examples Spring Cloud Kubernetes tries to make it transparent for your applications to consume Kubernetes Native Services by following the Spring Cloud interfaces. In your applications, you need to add the `spring-cloud-kubernetes-discovery` dependency to your classpath and remove any other dependency that contains a `DiscoveryClient` implementation (that is, a Eureka discovery client). The same applies for `PropertySourceLocator`, where you need to add to the classpath the `spring-cloud-kubernetes-config` and remove any other dependency that contains a `PropertySourceLocator` implementation (that is, a configuration server client). The following projects highlight the usage of these dependencies and demonstrate how you can use these libraries from any Spring Boot application: * https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-kubernetes/tree/master/spring-cloud-kubernetes-examples[Spring Cloud Kubernetes Examples]: the ones located inside this repository. * Spring Cloud Kubernetes Full Example: Minions and Boss ** https://github.com/salaboy/spring-cloud-k8s-minion[Minion] ** https://github.com/salaboy/spring-cloud-k8s-boss[Boss] * Spring Cloud Kubernetes Full Example: https://github.com/salaboy/s1p_docs[SpringOne Platform Tickets Service] * https://github.com/salaboy/s1p_gateway[Spring Cloud Gateway with Spring Cloud Kubernetes Discovery and Config] * https://github.com/salaboy/showcase-admin-tool[Spring Boot Admin with Spring Cloud Kubernetes Discovery and Config] == Other Resources This section lists other resources, such as presentations (slides) and videos about Spring Cloud Kubernetes. * https://salaboy.com/2018/09/27/the-s1p-experience/[S1P Spring Cloud on PKS] * https://salaboy.com/2018/07/18/ljc-july-18-spring-cloud-docker-k8s/[Spring Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes -> London Java Community July 2018] Please feel free to submit other resources through pull requests to https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-kubernetes[this repository]. == Configuration properties To see the list of all Kubernetes related configuration properties please check link:appendix.html[the Appendix page]. == Building :jdkversion: 1.8 === Basic Compile and Test To build the source you will need to install JDK {jdkversion}. Spring Cloud uses Maven for most build-related activities, and you should be able to get off the ground quite quickly by cloning the project you are interested in and typing
$ ./mvnw install
NOTE: You can also install Maven (>=3.3.3) yourself and run the `mvn` command in place of `./mvnw` in the examples below. If you do that you also might need to add `-P spring` if your local Maven settings do not contain repository declarations for spring pre-release artifacts. NOTE: Be aware that you might need to increase the amount of memory available to Maven by setting a `MAVEN_OPTS` environment variable with a value like `-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m`. We try to cover this in the `.mvn` configuration, so if you find you have to do it to make a build succeed, please raise a ticket to get the settings added to source control. The projects that require middleware (i.e. Redis) for testing generally require that a local instance of [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started) is installed and running. === Documentation The spring-cloud-build module has a "docs" profile, and if you switch that on it will try to build asciidoc sources from `src/main/asciidoc`. As part of that process it will look for a `README.adoc` and process it by loading all the includes, but not parsing or rendering it, just copying it to `${main.basedir}` (defaults to `${basedir}`, i.e. the root of the project). If there are any changes in the README it will then show up after a Maven build as a modified file in the correct place. Just commit it and push the change. === Working with the code If you don't have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use https://www.springsource.com/developer/sts[Spring Tools Suite] or https://eclipse.org[Eclipse] when working with the code. We use the https://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipse] eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs and tools should also work without issue as long as they use Maven 3.3.3 or better. ==== Activate the Spring Maven profile Spring Cloud projects require the 'spring' Maven profile to be activated to resolve the spring milestone and snapshot repositories. Use your preferred IDE to set this profile to be active, or you may experience build errors. ==== Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse We recommend the https://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipse] eclipse plugin when working with eclipse. If you don't already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse marketplace". NOTE: Older versions of m2e do not support Maven 3.3, so once the projects are imported into Eclipse you will also need to tell m2eclipse to use the right profile for the projects. If you see many different errors related to the POMs in the projects, check that you have an up to date installation. If you can't upgrade m2e, add the "spring" profile to your `settings.xml`. Alternatively you can copy the repository settings from the "spring" profile of the parent pom into your `settings.xml`. ==== Importing into eclipse without m2eclipse If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project metadata using the following command: [indent=0]
$ ./mvnw eclipse:eclipse
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting `import existing projects` from the `file` menu. == Contributing :spring-cloud-build-branch: master Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license, and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but follow the guidelines below. === Sign the Contributor License Agreement Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[Contributor License Agreement]. Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests. === Code of Conduct This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/code-of-conduct.adoc[code of conduct]. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io. === Code Conventions and Housekeeping None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be added after the original pull request but before a merge. * Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. If you use Eclipse you can import formatter settings using the `eclipse-code-formatter.xml` file from the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-dependencies-parent/eclipse-code-formatter.xml[Spring Cloud Build] project. If using IntelliJ, you can use the https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6546[Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin] to import the same file. * Make sure all new `.java` files to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an `@author` tag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for. * Add the ASF license header comment to all new `.java` files (copy from existing files in the project) * Add yourself as an `@author` to the .java files that you modify substantially (more than cosmetic changes). * Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements. * A few unit tests would help a lot as well -- someone has to do it. * If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or other target branch in the main project). * When writing a commit message please follow https://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html[these conventions], if you are fixing an existing issue please add `Fixes gh-XXXX` at the end of the commit message (where XXXX is the issue number). === Checkstyle Spring Cloud Build comes with a set of checkstyle rules. You can find them in the `spring-cloud-build-tools` module. The most notable files under the module are: .spring-cloud-build-tools/
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml <3> └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt <2> └── checkstyle.xml <1>

Example: .projectRoot/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppresions.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE suppressions PUBLIC "-//Puppy Crawl//DTD Suppressions 1.1//EN" "https://www.puppycrawl.com/dtds/suppressions_1_1.dtd"> <suppressions> <suppress files=".*ConfigServerApplication\.java" checks="HideUtilityClassConstructor"/> <suppress files=".*ConfigClientWatch\.java" checks="LineLengthCheck"/> </suppressions>
It's advisable to copy the `${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.editorconfig` and `${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.springformat` to your project. That way, some default formatting rules will be applied. You can do so by running this script: ```bash $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/.editorconfig -o .editorconfig $ touch .springformat ``` === IDE setup ==== Intellij IDEA In order to setup Intellij you should import our coding conventions, inspection profiles and set up the checkstyle plugin. The following files can be found in the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/tree/master/spring-cloud-build-tools[Spring Cloud Build] project. .spring-cloud-build-tools/

There click on the icon next to the `Scheme` section. There, click on the `Import Scheme` value and pick the `Intellij IDEA code style XML` option. Import the `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml` file. .Inspection profiles image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-inspections.png[Code style] Go to `File` -> `Settings` -> `Editor` -> `Inspections`.

There, click on the `Import Profile` and import the `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml` file. .Checkstyle To have Intellij work with Checkstyle, you have to install the `Checkstyle` plugin. It's advisable to also install the `Assertions2Assertj` to automatically convert the JUnit assertions image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-checkstyle.png[Checkstyle] Go to `File` -> `Settings` -> `Other settings` -> `Checkstyle`. There click on the `+` icon in the `Configuration file` section. There, you'll have to define where the checkstyle rules should be picked from. In the image above, we've picked the rules from the cloned Spring Cloud Build repository. However, you can point to the Spring Cloud Build's GitHub repository (e.g. for the `checkstyle.xml` : `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle.xml`). We need to provide the following variables: - `checkstyle.header.file` - please point it to the Spring Cloud Build's, `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt` file either in your cloned repo or via the `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt` URL. - `checkstyle.suppressions.file` - default suppressions. Please point it to the Spring Cloud Build's, `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml` file either in your cloned repo or via the `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml` URL. - `checkstyle.additional.suppressions.file` - this variable corresponds to suppressions in your local project. E.g. you're working on `spring-cloud-contract`. Then point to the `project-root/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml` folder. Example for `spring-cloud-contract` would be: `/home/username/spring-cloud-contract/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml`. IMPORTANT: Remember to set the `Scan Scope` to `All sources` since we apply checkstyle rules for production and test sources. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-netflix :project-version: {spring-cloud-netflix-version} :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Netflix :github-tag: main :github-repo: spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix :github-raw: https://raw.github.com/{github-repo}/{github-tag} :github-code: https://github.com/{github-repo}/tree/{github-tag} :all: {asterisk}{asterisk} :nofooter: :branch: main = Spring Cloud Netflix *{spring-cloud-version}* :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Netflix This project provides Netflix OSS integrations for Spring Boot apps through autoconfiguration and binding to the Spring Environment and other Spring programming model idioms. With a few simple annotations you can quickly enable and configure the common patterns inside your application and build large distributed systems with battle-tested Netflix components. The patterns provided include Service Discovery (Eureka). == Service Discovery: Eureka Clients Service Discovery is one of the key tenets of a microservice-based architecture. Trying to hand-configure each client or some form of convention can be difficult to do and can be brittle. Eureka is the Netflix Service Discovery Server and Client. The server can be configured and deployed to be highly available, with each server replicating state about the registered services to the others. [[netflix-eureka-client-starter]] === How to Include Eureka Client To include the Eureka Client in your project, use the starter with a group ID of `org.springframework.cloud` and an artifact ID of `spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client`. See the https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/[Spring Cloud Project page] for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train. === Registering with Eureka When a client registers with Eureka, it provides meta-data about itself -- such as host, port, health indicator URL, home page, and other details. Eureka receives heartbeat messages from each instance belonging to a service. If the heartbeat fails over a configurable timetable, the instance is normally removed from the registry. // TODO "normally"? Is there some configuration detail that causes a different behavior? The following example shows a minimal Eureka client application: [source,java,indent=0]
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello world"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class).web(true).run(args); }
}
Note that the preceding example shows a normal https://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/[Spring Boot] application. By having `spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client` on the classpath, your application automatically registers with the Eureka Server. Configuration is required to locate the Eureka server, as shown in the following example: .application.yml
eureka: client: serviceUrl: defaultZone: localhost:8761/eureka/
In the preceding example, `defaultZone` is a magic string fallback value that provides the service URL for any client that does not express a preference (in other words, it is a useful default). WARNING: The `defaultZone` property is case sensitive and requires camel case because the `serviceUrl` property is a `Map<String, String>`. Therefore, the `defaultZone` property does not follow the normal Spring Boot snake-case convention of `default-zone`. The default application name (that is, the service ID), virtual host, and non-secure port (taken from the `Environment`) are `${spring.application.name}`, `${spring.application.name}` and `${server.port}`, respectively. Having `spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client` on the classpath makes the app into both a Eureka "`instance`" (that is, it registers itself) and a "`client`" (it can query the registry to locate other services). The instance behaviour is driven by `eureka.instance.*` configuration keys, but the defaults are fine if you ensure that your application has a value for `spring.application.name` (this is the default for the Eureka service ID or VIP). See {github-code}/spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/EurekaInstanceConfigBean.java[EurekaInstanceConfigBean] and {github-code}/spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/EurekaClientConfigBean.java[EurekaClientConfigBean] for more details on the configurable options. To disable the Eureka Discovery Client, you can set `eureka.client.enabled` to `false`. Eureka Discovery Client will also be disabled when `spring.cloud.discovery.enabled` is set to `false`. === Authenticating with the Eureka Server HTTP basic authentication is automatically added to your eureka client if one of the `eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone` URLs has credentials embedded in it (curl style, as follows: `https://user:password@localhost:8761/eureka`). For more complex needs, you can create a `@Bean` of type `DiscoveryClientOptionalArgs` and inject `ClientFilter` instances into it, all of which is applied to the calls from the client to the server. When Eureka server requires client side certificate for authentication, the client side certificate and trust store can be configured via properties, as shown in following example: .application.yml [source,yaml]
eureka: client: tls: enabled: true key-store: <path-of-key-store> key-store-type: PKCS12 key-store-password: <key-store-password> key-password: <key-password> trust-store: <path-of-trust-store> trust-store-type: PKCS12 trust-store-password: <trust-store-password>
The `eureka.client.tls.enabled` needs to be true to enable Eureka client side TLS. When `eureka.client.tls.trust-store` is omitted, a JVM default trust store is used. The default value for `eureka.client.tls.key-store-type` and `eureka.client.tls.trust-store-type` is PKCS12. When password properties are omitted, empty password is assumed. NOTE: Because of a limitation in Eureka, it is not possible to support per-server basic auth credentials, so only the first set that are found is used. If you want to customize the RestTemplate used by the Eureka HTTP Client you may want to create a bean of `EurekaClientHttpRequestFactorySupplier` and provide your own logic for generating a `ClientHttpRequestFactory` instance. === Status Page and Health Indicator The status page and health indicators for a Eureka instance default to `/info` and `/health` respectively, which are the default locations of useful endpoints in a Spring Boot Actuator application. You need to change these, even for an Actuator application if you use a non-default context path or servlet path (such as `server.servletPath=/custom`). The following example shows the default values for the two settings: .application.yml
eureka: instance: statusPageUrlPath: ${server.servletPath}/info healthCheckUrlPath: ${server.servletPath}/health
These links show up in the metadata that is consumed by clients and are used in some scenarios to decide whether to send requests to your application, so it is helpful if they are accurate. NOTE: In Dalston it was also required to set the status and health check URLs when changing that management context path. This requirement was removed beginning in Edgware. === Registering a Secure Application If your app wants to be contacted over HTTPS, you can set two flags in the `EurekaInstanceConfigBean`: * `eureka.instance.[nonSecurePortEnabled]=[false]` * `eureka.instance.[securePortEnabled]=[true]` Doing so makes Eureka publish instance information that shows an explicit preference for secure communication. The Spring Cloud `DiscoveryClient` always returns a URI starting with `https` for a service configured this way. Similarly, when a service is configured this way, the Eureka (native) instance information has a secure health check URL. Because of the way Eureka works internally, it still publishes a non-secure URL for the status and home pages unless you also override those explicitly. You can use placeholders to configure the eureka instance URLs, as shown in the following example: .application.yml
eureka: instance: statusPageUrl: ${eureka.hostname}/info healthCheckUrl: ${eureka.hostname}/health homePageUrl: ${eureka.hostname}/
(Note that `${eureka.hostname}` is a native placeholder only available in later versions of Eureka. You could achieve the same thing with Spring placeholders as well -- for example, by using `${eureka.instance.hostName}`.) NOTE: If your application runs behind a proxy, and the SSL termination is in the proxy (for example, if you run in Cloud Foundry or other platforms as a service), then you need to ensure that the proxy "`forwarded`" headers are intercepted and handled by the application. If the Tomcat container embedded in a Spring Boot application has explicit configuration for the 'X-Forwarded-\*` headers, this happens automatically. The links rendered by your app to itself being wrong (the wrong host, port, or protocol) is a sign that you got this configuration wrong. === Eureka's Health Checks By default, Eureka uses the client heartbeat to determine if a client is up. Unless specified otherwise, the Discovery Client does not propagate the current health check status of the application, per the Spring Boot Actuator. Consequently, after successful registration, Eureka always announces that the application is in 'UP' state. This behavior can be altered by enabling Eureka health checks, which results in propagating application status to Eureka. As a consequence, every other application does not send traffic to applications in states other then 'UP'. The following example shows how to enable health checks for the client: .application.yml
eureka: client: healthcheck: enabled: true
WARNING: `eureka.client.healthcheck.enabled=true` should only be set in `application.yml`. Setting the value in `bootstrap.yml` causes undesirable side effects, such as registering in Eureka with an `UNKNOWN` status. If you require more control over the health checks, consider implementing your own `com.netflix.appinfo.HealthCheckHandler`. === Eureka Metadata for Instances and Clients It is worth spending a bit of time understanding how the Eureka metadata works, so you can use it in a way that makes sense in your platform. There is standard metadata for information such as hostname, IP address, port numbers, the status page, and health check. These are published in the service registry and used by clients to contact the services in a straightforward way. Additional metadata can be added to the instance registration in the `eureka.instance.metadataMap`, and this metadata is accessible in the remote clients. In general, additional metadata does not change the behavior of the client, unless the client is made aware of the meaning of the metadata. There are a couple of special cases, described later in this document, where Spring Cloud already assigns meaning to the metadata map. // TODO Add links from here to the relevant places in the document ==== Using Eureka on Cloud Foundry Cloud Foundry has a global router so that all instances of the same app have the same hostname (other PaaS solutions with a similar architecture have the same arrangement). This is not necessarily a barrier to using Eureka. However, if you use the router (recommended or even mandatory, depending on the way your platform was set up), you need to explicitly set the hostname and port numbers (secure or non-secure) so that they use the router. You might also want to use instance metadata so that you can distinguish between the instances on the client (for example, in a custom load balancer). By default, the `eureka.instance.instanceId` is `vcap.application.instance_id`, as shown in the following example: .application.yml
eureka: instance: hostname: ${vcap.application.uris[0]} nonSecurePort: 80
Depending on the way the security rules are set up in your Cloud Foundry instance, you might be able to register and use the IP address of the host VM for direct service-to-service calls. This feature is not yet available on Pivotal Web Services (https://run.pivotal.io[PWS]). ==== Using Eureka on AWS If the application is planned to be deployed to an AWS cloud, the Eureka instance must be configured to be AWS-aware. You can do so by customizing the {github-code}/spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-client/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/netflix/eureka/EurekaInstanceConfigBean.java[EurekaInstanceConfigBean] as follows: [source,java,indent=0]
@Bean @Profile("!default") public EurekaInstanceConfigBean eurekaInstanceConfig(InetUtils inetUtils) { EurekaInstanceConfigBean bean = new EurekaInstanceConfigBean(inetUtils); AmazonInfo info = AmazonInfo.Builder.newBuilder().autoBuild("eureka"); bean.setDataCenterInfo(info); return bean; }
==== Changing the Eureka Instance ID A vanilla Netflix Eureka instance is registered with an ID that is equal to its host name (that is, there is only one service per host). Spring Cloud Eureka provides a sensible default, which is defined as follows: `${spring.cloud.client.hostname}:${spring.application.name}:${spring.application.instance_id:${server.port}}` An example is `myhost:myappname:8080`. By using Spring Cloud, you can override this value by providing a unique identifier in `eureka.instance.instanceId`, as shown in the following example: .application.yml
eureka: instance: instanceId: ${spring.application.name}:${vcap.application.instance_id:${spring.application.instance_id:${random.value}}}
With the metadata shown in the preceding example and multiple service instances deployed on localhost, the random value is inserted there to make the instance unique. In Cloud Foundry, the `vcap.application.instance_id` is populated automatically in a Spring Boot application, so the random value is not needed. === Using the EurekaClient Once you have an application that is a discovery client, you can use it to discover service instances from the <<spring-cloud-eureka-server, Eureka Server>>. One way to do so is to use the native `com.netflix.discovery.EurekaClient` (as opposed to the Spring Cloud `DiscoveryClient`), as shown in the following example:
@Autowired private EurekaClient discoveryClient;
public String serviceUrl() { InstanceInfo instance = discoveryClient.getNextServerFromEureka("STORES", false); return instance.getHomePageUrl(); }
[TIP] ==== Do not use the `EurekaClient` in a `@PostConstruct` method or in a `@Scheduled` method (or anywhere where the `ApplicationContext` might not be started yet). It is initialized in a `SmartLifecycle` (with `phase=0`), so the earliest you can rely on it being available is in another `SmartLifecycle` with a higher phase. ==== ==== EurekaClient with Jersey By default, EurekaClient uses Spring's `RestTemplate` for HTTP communication. If you wish to use Jersey instead, you need to add the Jersey dependencies to your classpath. The following example shows the dependencies you need to add:
<dependency> <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-apache-client4</artifactId> </dependency>
=== Alternatives to the Native Netflix EurekaClient You need not use the raw Netflix `EurekaClient`. Also, it is usually more convenient to use it behind a wrapper of some sort. Spring Cloud has support for <<spring-cloud-feign, Feign>> (a REST client builder) and <<spring-cloud-ribbon, Spring `RestTemplate`>> through the logical Eureka service identifiers (VIPs) instead of physical URLs. You can also use the `org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.DiscoveryClient`, which provides a simple API (not specific to Netflix) for discovery clients, as shown in the following example:
@Autowired private DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;
public String serviceUrl() { List<ServiceInstance> list = discoveryClient.getInstances("STORES"); if (list != null && list.size() > 0 ) { return list.get(0).getUri(); } return null; }
=== Why Is It so Slow to Register a Service? Being an instance also involves a periodic heartbeat to the registry (through the client's `serviceUrl`) with a default duration of 30 seconds. A service is not available for discovery by clients until the instance, the server, and the client all have the same metadata in their local cache (so it could take 3 heartbeats). You can change the period by setting `eureka.instance.leaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds`. Setting it to a value of less than 30 speeds up the process of getting clients connected to other services. In production, it is probably better to stick with the default, because of internal computations in the server that make assumptions about the lease renewal period. === Zones If you have deployed Eureka clients to multiple zones, you may prefer that those clients use services within the same zone before trying services in another zone. To set that up, you need to configure your Eureka clients correctly. First, you need to make sure you have Eureka servers deployed to each zone and that they are peers of each other. See the section on <<spring-cloud-eureka-server-zones-and-regions,zones and regions>> for more information. Next, you need to tell Eureka which zone your service is in. You can do so by using the `metadataMap` property. For example, if `service 1` is deployed to both `zone 1` and `zone 2`, you need to set the following Eureka properties in `service 1`: *Service 1 in Zone 1* ``` eureka.instance.metadataMap.zone = zone1 eureka.client.preferSameZoneEureka = true ``` *Service 1 in Zone 2* ``` eureka.instance.metadataMap.zone = zone2 eureka.client.preferSameZoneEureka = true ``` === Refreshing Eureka Clients By default, the `EurekaClient` bean is refreshable, meaning the Eureka client properties can be changed and refreshed. When a refresh occurs clients will be unregistered from the Eureka server and there might be a brief moment of time where all instance of a given service are not available. One way to eliminate this from happening is to disable the ability to refresh Eureka clients. To do this set `eureka.client.refresh.enable=false`. === Using Eureka with Spring Cloud LoadBalancer We offer support for the Spring Cloud LoadBalancer `ZonePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier`. The `zone` value from the Eureka instance metadata (`eureka.instance.metadataMap.zone`) is used for setting the value of `spring-clod-loadbalancer-zone` property that is used to filter service instances by zone. If that is missing and if the `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.eureka.approximateZoneFromHostname` flag is set to `true`, it can use the domain name from the server hostname as a proxy for the zone. If there is no other source of zone data, then a guess is made, based on the client configuration (as opposed to the instance configuration). We take `eureka.client.availabilityZones`, which is a map from region name to a list of zones, and pull out the first zone for the instance's own region (that is, the `eureka.client.region`, which defaults to "us-east-1", for compatibility with native Netflix). [[spring-cloud-eureka-server]] == Service Discovery: Eureka Server This section describes how to set up a Eureka server. [[netflix-eureka-server-starter]] === How to Include Eureka Server To include Eureka Server in your project, use the starter with a group ID of `org.springframework.cloud` and an artifact ID of `spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server`. See the https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/[Spring Cloud Project page] for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train. NOTE: If your project already uses Thymeleaf as its template engine, the Freemarker templates of the Eureka server may not be loaded correctly. In this case it is necessary to configure the template loader manually: .application.yml
spring: freemarker: template-loader-path: classpath:/templates/ prefer-file-system-access: false
[[spring-cloud-running-eureka-server]] === How to Run a Eureka Server The following example shows a minimal Eureka server: [source,java,indent=0]
@SpringBootApplication @EnableEurekaServer public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) { new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class).web(true).run(args); }
}
The server has a home page with a UI and HTTP API endpoints for the normal Eureka functionality under `/eureka/*`. The following links have some Eureka background reading: https://github.com/cfregly/fluxcapacitor/wiki/NetflixOSS-FAQ#eureka-service-discovery-load-balancer[flux capacitor] and https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/eureka_netflix/g3p2r7gHnN0[google group discussion]. [TIP] ==== Due to Gradle's dependency resolution rules and the lack of a parent bom feature, depending on `spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server` can cause failures on application startup. To remedy this issue, add the Spring Boot Gradle plugin and import the Spring cloud starter parent bom as follows: .build.gradle [source,java,indent=0]
buildscript { dependencies { classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:{spring-boot-docs-version}") } }
apply plugin: "spring-boot"
dependencyManagement { imports { mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:2021.0.0-M3" } }
==== [[spring-cloud-eureka-server-zones-and-regions]] === High Availability, Zones and Regions The Eureka server does not have a back end store, but the service instances in the registry all have to send heartbeats to keep their registrations up to date (so this can be done in memory). Clients also have an in-memory cache of Eureka registrations (so they do not have to go to the registry for every request to a service). By default, every Eureka server is also a Eureka client and requires (at least one) service URL to locate a peer. If you do not provide it, the service runs and works, but it fills your logs with a lot of noise about not being able to register with the peer. [[spring-cloud-eureka-server-standalone-mode]] === Standalone Mode The combination of the two caches (client and server) and the heartbeats make a standalone Eureka server fairly resilient to failure, as long as there is some sort of monitor or elastic runtime (such as Cloud Foundry) keeping it alive. In standalone mode, you might prefer to switch off the client side behavior so that it does not keep trying and failing to reach its peers. The following example shows how to switch off the client-side behavior: .application.yml (Standalone Eureka Server)
server: port: 8761
eureka: instance: hostname: localhost client: registerWithEureka: false fetchRegistry: false serviceUrl: defaultZone: ${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/eureka/
Notice that the `serviceUrl` is pointing to the same host as the local instance. [[spring-cloud-eureka-server-peer-awareness]] === Peer Awareness Eureka can be made even more resilient and available by running multiple instances and asking them to register with each other. In fact, this is the default behavior, so all you need to do to make it work is add a valid `serviceUrl` to a peer, as shown in the following example: .application.yml (Two Peer Aware Eureka Servers)
spring: profiles: peer1 eureka: instance: hostname: peer1 client: serviceUrl: defaultZone: peer2/eureka/
spring: profiles: peer2 eureka: instance: hostname: peer2 client: serviceUrl: defaultZone: peer1/eureka/
In the preceding example, we have a YAML file that can be used to run the same server on two hosts (`peer1` and `peer2`) by running it in different Spring profiles. You could use this configuration to test the peer awareness on a single host (there is not much value in doing that in production) by manipulating `/etc/hosts` to resolve the host names. In fact, the `eureka.instance.hostname` is not needed if you are running on a machine that knows its own hostname (by default, it is looked up by using `java.net.InetAddress`). You can add multiple peers to a system, and, as long as they are all connected to each other by at least one edge, they synchronize the registrations amongst themselves. If the peers are physically separated (inside a data center or between multiple data centers), then the system can, in principle, survive "`split-brain`" type failures. You can add multiple peers to a system, and as long as they are all directly connected to each other, they will synchronize the registrations amongst themselves. .application.yml (Three Peer Aware Eureka Servers)
eureka: client: serviceUrl: defaultZone: peer1/eureka/,http://peer2/eureka/,http://peer3/eureka/
spring: profiles: peer1 eureka: instance: hostname: peer1
spring: profiles: peer2 eureka: instance: hostname: peer2
spring: profiles: peer3 eureka: instance: hostname: peer3
[[spring-cloud-eureka-server-prefer-ip-address]] === When to Prefer IP Address In some cases, it is preferable for Eureka to advertise the IP addresses of services rather than the hostname. Set `eureka.instance.preferIpAddress` to `true` and, when the application registers with eureka, it uses its IP address rather than its hostname. [TIP] ==== If the hostname cannot be determined by Java, then the IP address is sent to Eureka. Only explict way of setting the hostname is by setting `eureka.instance.hostname` property. You can set your hostname at the run-time by using an environment variable -- for example, `eureka.instance.hostname=${HOST_NAME}`. ==== === Securing The Eureka Server You can secure your Eureka server simply by adding Spring Security to your server's classpath via `spring-boot-starter-security`. By default when Spring Security is on the classpath it will require that a valid CSRF token be sent with every request to the app. Eureka clients will not generally possess a valid cross site request forgery (CSRF) token you will need to disable this requirement for the `/eureka/**` endpoints. For example: [source,java,indent=0]
@EnableWebSecurity class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http.csrf().ignoringAntMatchers("/eureka/**"); super.configure(http); } }
For more information on CSRF see the https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#csrf[Spring Security documentation]. A demo Eureka Server can be found in the Spring Cloud Samples https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/eureka/tree/Eureka-With-Security[repo]. === JDK 11 Support The JAXB modules which the Eureka server depends upon were removed in JDK 11. If you intend to use JDK 11 when running a Eureka server you must include these dependencies in your POM or Gradle file. [source,xml,indent=0]

== Configuration properties To see the list of all Spring Cloud Netflix related configuration properties please check link:appendix.html[the Appendix page]. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-openfeign :project-version: {spring-cloud-openfeign-version} = Spring Cloud OpenFeign :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud OpenFeign :all: {asterisk}{asterisk} :core_path: {project-root}/spring-cloud-openfeign-core *{spring-cloud-version}* This project provides OpenFeign integrations for Spring Boot apps through autoconfiguration and binding to the Spring Environment and other Spring programming model idioms. [[spring-cloud-feign]] == Declarative REST Client: Feign https://github.com/OpenFeign/feign[Feign] is a declarative web service client. It makes writing web service clients easier. To use Feign create an interface and annotate it. It has pluggable annotation support including Feign annotations and JAX-RS annotations. Feign also supports pluggable encoders and decoders. Spring Cloud adds support for Spring MVC annotations and for using the same `HttpMessageConverters` used by default in Spring Web. Spring Cloud integrates Eureka, Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker, as well as Spring Cloud LoadBalancer to provide a load-balanced http client when using Feign. [[netflix-feign-starter]] === How to Include Feign To include Feign in your project use the starter with group `org.springframework.cloud` and artifact id `spring-cloud-starter-openfeign`. See the https://projects.spring.io/spring-cloud/[Spring Cloud Project page] for details on setting up your build system with the current Spring Cloud Release Train. Example spring boot app [source,java,indent=0]
@SpringBootApplication @EnableFeignClients public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); }
}
.StoreClient.java [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient("stores") public interface StoreClient { @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/stores") List<Store> getStores();
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/stores") Page<Store> getStores(Pageable pageable);
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/stores/{storeId}", consumes = "application/json") Store update(@PathVariable("storeId") Long storeId, Store store);
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.DELETE, value = "/stores/{storeId:\\d+}") void delete(@PathVariable Long storeId); }
In the `@FeignClient` annotation the String value ("stores" above) is an arbitrary client name, which is used to create a https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/blob/main/spring-cloud-loadbalancer/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/loadbalancer/blocking/client/BlockingLoadBalancerClient.java[Spring Cloud LoadBalancer client]. You can also specify a URL using the `url` attribute (absolute value or just a hostname). The name of the bean in the application context is the fully qualified name of the interface. To specify your own alias value you can use the `qualifiers` value of the `@FeignClient` annotation. The load-balancer client above will want to discover the physical addresses for the "stores" service. If your application is a Eureka client then it will resolve the service in the Eureka service registry. If you don't want to use Eureka, you can configure a list of servers in your external configuration using https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#simplediscoveryclient[`SimpleDiscoveryClient`]. Spring Cloud OpenFeign supports all the features available for the blocking mode of Spring Cloud LoadBalancer. You can read more about them in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#spring-cloud-loadbalancer[project documentation]. TIP: To use `@EnableFeignClients` annotation on `@Configuration`-annotated-classes, make sure to specify where the clients are located, for example: `@EnableFeignClients(basePackages = "com.example.clients")` or list them explicitly: `@EnableFeignClients(clients = InventoryServiceFeignClient.class)` [[spring-cloud-feign-overriding-defaults]] === Overriding Feign Defaults A central concept in Spring Cloud's Feign support is that of the named client. Each feign client is part of an ensemble of components that work together to contact a remote server on demand, and the ensemble has a name that you give it as an application developer using the `@FeignClient` annotation. Spring Cloud creates a new ensemble as an `ApplicationContext` on demand for each named client using `FeignClientsConfiguration`. This contains (amongst other things) an `feign.Decoder`, a `feign.Encoder`, and a `feign.Contract`. It is possible to override the name of that ensemble by using the `contextId` attribute of the `@FeignClient` annotation. Spring Cloud lets you take full control of the feign client by declaring additional configuration (on top of the `FeignClientsConfiguration`) using `@FeignClient`. Example: [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(name = "stores", configuration = FooConfiguration.class) public interface StoreClient { //.. }
In this case the client is composed from the components already in `FeignClientsConfiguration` together with any in `FooConfiguration` (where the latter will override the former). NOTE: `FooConfiguration` does not need to be annotated with `@Configuration`. However, if it is, then take care to exclude it from any `@ComponentScan` that would otherwise include this configuration as it will become the default source for `feign.Decoder`, `feign.Encoder`, `feign.Contract`, etc., when specified. This can be avoided by putting it in a separate, non-overlapping package from any `@ComponentScan` or `@SpringBootApplication`, or it can be explicitly excluded in `@ComponentScan`. NOTE: Using `contextId` attribute of the `@FeignClient` annotation in addition to changing the name of the `ApplicationContext` ensemble, it will override the alias of the client name and it will be used as part of the name of the configuration bean created for that client. WARNING: Previously, using the `url` attribute, did not require the `name` attribute. Using `name` is now required. Placeholders are supported in the `name` and `url` attributes. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(name = "${feign.name}", url = "${feign.url}") public interface StoreClient { //.. }
Spring Cloud OpenFeign provides the following beans by default for feign (`BeanType` beanName: `ClassName`): * `Decoder` feignDecoder: `ResponseEntityDecoder` (which wraps a `SpringDecoder`) * `Encoder` feignEncoder: `SpringEncoder` * `Logger` feignLogger: `Slf4jLogger` * `MicrometerCapability` micrometerCapability: If `feign-micrometer` is on the classpath and `MeterRegistry` is available * `Contract` feignContract: `SpringMvcContract` * `Feign.Builder` feignBuilder: `FeignCircuitBreaker.Builder` * `Client` feignClient: If Spring Cloud LoadBalancer is on the classpath, `FeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient` is used. If none of them is on the classpath, the default feign client is used. NOTE: `spring-cloud-starter-openfeign` supports `spring-cloud-starter-loadbalancer`. However, as is an optional dependency, you need to make sure it been added to your project if you want to use it. The OkHttpClient and ApacheHttpClient and ApacheHC5 feign clients can be used by setting `feign.okhttp.enabled` or `feign.httpclient.enabled` or `feign.httpclient.hc5.enabled` to `true`, respectively, and having them on the classpath. You can customize the HTTP client used by providing a bean of either `org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient` when using Apache or `okhttp3.OkHttpClient` when using OK HTTP or `org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.classic.CloseableHttpClient` when using Apache HC5. Spring Cloud OpenFeign _does not_ provide the following beans by default for feign, but still looks up beans of these types from the application context to create the feign client: * `Logger.Level` * `Retryer` * `ErrorDecoder` * `Request.Options` * `Collection<RequestInterceptor>` * `SetterFactory` * `QueryMapEncoder` * `Capability` (`MicrometerCapability` is provided by default) A bean of `Retryer.NEVER_RETRY` with the type `Retryer` is created by default, which will disable retrying. Notice this retrying behavior is different from the Feign default one, where it will automatically retry IOExceptions, treating them as transient network related exceptions, and any RetryableException thrown from an ErrorDecoder. Creating a bean of one of those type and placing it in a `@FeignClient` configuration (such as `FooConfiguration` above) allows you to override each one of the beans described. Example: [source,java,indent=0]
@Configuration public class FooConfiguration { @Bean public Contract feignContract() { return new feign.Contract.Default(); }
@Bean public BasicAuthRequestInterceptor basicAuthRequestInterceptor() { return new BasicAuthRequestInterceptor("user", "password"); } }
This replaces the `SpringMvcContract` with `feign.Contract.Default` and adds a `RequestInterceptor` to the collection of `RequestInterceptor`. `@FeignClient` also can be configured using configuration properties. application.yml [source,yaml]
feign: client: config: feignName: connectTimeout: 5000 readTimeout: 5000 loggerLevel: full errorDecoder: com.example.SimpleErrorDecoder retryer: com.example.SimpleRetryer defaultQueryParameters: query: queryValue defaultRequestHeaders: header: headerValue requestInterceptors: - com.example.FooRequestInterceptor - com.example.BarRequestInterceptor decode404: false encoder: com.example.SimpleEncoder decoder: com.example.SimpleDecoder contract: com.example.SimpleContract capabilities: - com.example.FooCapability - com.example.BarCapability metrics.enabled: false
Default configurations can be specified in the `@EnableFeignClients` attribute `defaultConfiguration` in a similar manner as described above. The difference is that this configuration will apply to _all_ feign clients. If you prefer using configuration properties to configured all `@FeignClient`, you can create configuration properties with `default` feign name. You can use `feign.client.config.feignName.defaultQueryParameters` and `feign.client.config.feignName.defaultRequestHeaders` to specify query parameters and headers that will be sent with every request of the client named `feignName`. application.yml [source,yaml]
feign: client: config: default: connectTimeout: 5000 readTimeout: 5000 loggerLevel: basic
If we create both `@Configuration` bean and configuration properties, configuration properties will win. It will override `@Configuration` values. But if you want to change the priority to `@Configuration`, you can change `feign.client.default-to-properties` to `false`. If we want to create multiple feign clients with the same name or url so that they would point to the same server but each with a different custom configuration then we have to use `contextId` attribute of the `@FeignClient` in order to avoid name collision of these configuration beans. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(contextId = "fooClient", name = "stores", configuration = FooConfiguration.class) public interface FooClient { //.. }
[source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(contextId = "barClient", name = "stores", configuration = BarConfiguration.class) public interface BarClient { //.. }
It is also possible to configure FeignClient not to inherit beans from the parent context. You can do this by overriding the `inheritParentConfiguration()` in a `FeignClientConfigurer` bean to return `false`: [source,java,indent=0]
@Configuration public class CustomConfiguration{
@Bean public FeignClientConfigurer feignClientConfigurer() { return new FeignClientConfigurer() {
@Override public boolean inheritParentConfiguration() { return false; } };
} }
TIP: By default, Feign clients do not encode slash `/` characters. You can change this behaviour, by setting the value of `feign.client.decodeSlash` to `false`. ==== `SpringEncoder` configuration In the `SpringEncoder` that we provide, we set `null` charset for binary content types and `UTF-8` for all the other ones. You can modify this behaviour to derive the charset from the `Content-Type` header charset instead by setting the value of `feign.encoder.charset-from-content-type` to `true`. [[timeout-handling]] === Timeout Handling We can configure timeouts on both the default and the named client. OpenFeign works with two timeout parameters: - `connectTimeout` prevents blocking the caller due to the long server processing time. - `readTimeout` is applied from the time of connection establishment and is triggered when returning the response takes too long. NOTE: In case the server is not running or available a packet results in _connection refused_. The communication ends either with an error message or in a fallback. This can happen _before_ the `connectTimeout` if it is set very low. The time taken to perform a lookup and to receive such a packet causes a significant part of this delay. It is subject to change based on the remote host that involves a DNS lookup. === Creating Feign Clients Manually In some cases it might be necessary to customize your Feign Clients in a way that is not possible using the methods above. In this case you can create Clients using the https://github.com/OpenFeign/feign/#basics[Feign Builder API]. Below is an example which creates two Feign Clients with the same interface but configures each one with a separate request interceptor. [source,java,indent=0]
@Import(FeignClientsConfiguration.class) class FooController {
private FooClient fooClient;
private FooClient adminClient;
@Autowired public FooController(Client client, Encoder encoder, Decoder decoder, Contract contract, MicrometerCapability micrometerCapability) { this.fooClient = Feign.builder().client(client) .encoder(encoder) .decoder(decoder) .contract(contract) .addCapability(micrometerCapability) .requestInterceptor(new BasicAuthRequestInterceptor("user", "user")) .target(FooClient.class, "https://PROD-SVC");
this.adminClient = Feign.builder().client(client) .encoder(encoder) .decoder(decoder) .contract(contract) .addCapability(micrometerCapability) .requestInterceptor(new BasicAuthRequestInterceptor("admin", "admin")) .target(FooClient.class, "https://PROD-SVC"); } }
NOTE: In the above example `FeignClientsConfiguration.class` is the default configuration provided by Spring Cloud OpenFeign. NOTE: `PROD-SVC` is the name of the service the Clients will be making requests to. NOTE: The Feign `Contract` object defines what annotations and values are valid on interfaces. The autowired `Contract` bean provides supports for SpringMVC annotations, instead of the default Feign native annotations. You can also use the `Builder`to configure FeignClient not to inherit beans from the parent context. You can do this by overriding calling `inheritParentContext(false)` on the `Builder`. [[spring-cloud-feign-circuitbreaker]] === Feign Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker Support If Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker is on the classpath and `feign.circuitbreaker.enabled=true`, Feign will wrap all methods with a circuit breaker. To disable Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker support on a per-client basis create a vanilla `Feign.Builder` with the "prototype" scope, e.g.: [source,java,indent=0]
@Configuration public class FooConfiguration { @Bean @Scope("prototype") public Feign.Builder feignBuilder() { return Feign.builder(); } }
The circuit breaker name follows this pattern `<feignClientClassName>#<calledMethod>(<parameterTypes>)`. When calling a `@FeignClient` with `FooClient` interface and the called interface method that has no parameters is `bar` then the circuit breaker name will be `FooClient#bar()`. NOTE: As of 2020.0.2, the circuit breaker name pattern has changed from `<feignClientName>_<calledMethod>`. Using `CircuitBreakerNameResolver` introduced in 2020.0.4, circuit breaker names can retain the old pattern. Providing a bean of `CircuitBreakerNameResolver`, you can change the circuit breaker name pattern. [source,java,indent=0]
@Configuration public class FooConfiguration { @Bean public CircuitBreakerNameResolver circuitBreakerNameResolver() { return (String feignClientName, Target<?> target, Method method) → feignClientName + "_" + method.getName(); } }
To enable Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker group set the `feign.circuitbreaker.group.enabled` property to `true` (by default `false`). [[spring-cloud-feign-circuitbreaker-fallback]] === Feign Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker Fallbacks Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker supports the notion of a fallback: a default code path that is executed when the circuit is open or there is an error. To enable fallbacks for a given `@FeignClient` set the `fallback` attribute to the class name that implements the fallback. You also need to declare your implementation as a Spring bean. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(name = "test", url = "http://localhost:${server.port}/", fallback = Fallback.class) protected interface TestClient {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/hello") Hello getHello();
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/hellonotfound") String getException();
}
@Component static class Fallback implements TestClient {
@Override public Hello getHello() { throw new NoFallbackAvailableException("Boom!", new RuntimeException()); }
@Override public String getException() { return "Fixed response"; }
}
If one needs access to the cause that made the fallback trigger, one can use the `fallbackFactory` attribute inside `@FeignClient`. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(name = "testClientWithFactory", url = "http://localhost:${server.port}/", fallbackFactory = TestFallbackFactory.class) protected interface TestClientWithFactory {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/hello") Hello getHello();
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/hellonotfound") String getException();
}
@Component static class TestFallbackFactory implements FallbackFactory<FallbackWithFactory> {
@Override public FallbackWithFactory create(Throwable cause) { return new FallbackWithFactory(); }
}
static class FallbackWithFactory implements TestClientWithFactory {
@Override public Hello getHello() { throw new NoFallbackAvailableException("Boom!", new RuntimeException()); }
@Override public String getException() { return "Fixed response"; }
}
=== Feign and `@Primary` When using Feign with Spring Cloud CircuitBreaker fallbacks, there are multiple beans in the `ApplicationContext` of the same type. This will cause `@Autowired` to not work because there isn't exactly one bean, or one marked as primary. To work around this, Spring Cloud OpenFeign marks all Feign instances as `@Primary`, so Spring Framework will know which bean to inject. In some cases, this may not be desirable. To turn off this behavior set the `primary` attribute of `@FeignClient` to false. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(name = "hello", primary = false) public interface HelloClient { // methods here }
[[spring-cloud-feign-inheritance]] === Feign Inheritance Support Feign supports boilerplate apis via single-inheritance interfaces. This allows grouping common operations into convenient base interfaces. .UserService.java [source,java,indent=0]
public interface UserService {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value ="/users/{id}") User getUser(@PathVariable("id") long id); }
.UserResource.java [source,java,indent=0]
@RestController public class UserResource implements UserService {
}
.UserClient.java [source,java,indent=0]
package project.user;
@FeignClient("users") public interface UserClient extends UserService {
}
NOTE: It is generally not advisable to share an interface between a server and a client. It introduces tight coupling, and is also not supported by all the maintained Spring MVC versions (method parameter mapping is not inherited in some versions). === Feign request/response compression You may consider enabling the request or response GZIP compression for your Feign requests. You can do this by enabling one of the properties: [source,java]
feign.compression.request.enabled=true feign.compression.response.enabled=true
Feign request compression gives you settings similar to what you may set for your web server: [source,java]
feign.compression.request.enabled=true feign.compression.request.mime-types=text/xml,application/xml,application/json feign.compression.request.min-request-size=2048
These properties allow you to be selective about the compressed media types and minimum request threshold length. === Feign logging A logger is created for each Feign client created. By default the name of the logger is the full class name of the interface used to create the Feign client. Feign logging only responds to the `DEBUG` level. .application.yml [source,yaml]
logging.level.project.user.UserClient: DEBUG
The `Logger.Level` object that you may configure per client, tells Feign how much to log. Choices are: * `NONE`, No logging (*DEFAULT*). * `BASIC`, Log only the request method and URL and the response status code and execution time. * `HEADERS`, Log the basic information along with request and response headers. * `FULL`, Log the headers, body, and metadata for both requests and responses. For example, the following would set the `Logger.Level` to `FULL`: [source,java,indent=0]
@Configuration public class FooConfiguration { @Bean Logger.Level feignLoggerLevel() { return Logger.Level.FULL; } }
=== Feign Capability support The Feign capabilities expose core Feign components so that these components can be modified. For example, the capabilities can take the `Client`, _decorate_ it, and give the decorated instance back to Feign. The support for metrics libraries is a good real-life example for this. See <<feign-metrics>>. Creating one or more `Capability` beans and placing them in a `@FeignClient` configuration lets you register them and modify the behavior of the involved client. [source,java,indent=0]
@Configuration public class FooConfiguration { @Bean Capability customCapability() { return new CustomCapability(); } }
=== Feign metrics If all of the following conditions are true, a `MicrometerCapability` bean is created and registered so that your Feign client publishes metrics to Micrometer: * `feign-micrometer` is on the classpath * A `MeterRegistry` bean is available * feign metrics properties are set to `true` (by default) - `feign.metrics.enabled=true` (for all clients) - `feign.client.config.feignName.metrics.enabled=true` (for a single client) NOTE: If your application already uses Micrometer, enabling metrics is as simple as putting `feign-micrometer` onto your classpath. You can also disable the feature by either: * excluding `feign-micrometer` from your classpath * setting one of the feign metrics properties to `false` - `feign.metrics.enabled=false` - `feign.client.config.feignName.metrics.enabled=false` NOTE: `feign.metrics.enabled=false` disables metrics support for *all* Feign clients regardless of the value of the client-level flags: `feign.client.config.feignName.metrics.enabled`. If you want to enable or disable merics per client, don't set `feign.metrics.enabled` and use `feign.client.config.feignName.metrics.enabled`. You can also customize the `MicrometerCapability` by registering your own bean: [source,java,indent=0]
@Configuration public class FooConfiguration { @Bean public MicrometerCapability micrometerCapability(MeterRegistry meterRegistry) { return new MicrometerCapability(meterRegistry); } }
=== Feign @QueryMap support The OpenFeign `@QueryMap` annotation provides support for POJOs to be used as GET parameter maps. Unfortunately, the default OpenFeign QueryMap annotation is incompatible with Spring because it lacks a `value` property. Spring Cloud OpenFeign provides an equivalent `@SpringQueryMap` annotation, which is used to annotate a POJO or Map parameter as a query parameter map. For example, the `Params` class defines parameters `param1` and `param2`: [source,java,indent=0]
public class Params { private String param1; private String param2;
// [Getters and setters omitted for brevity] }
The following feign client uses the `Params` class by using the `@SpringQueryMap` annotation: [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient("demo") public interface DemoTemplate {
@GetMapping(path = "/demo") String demoEndpoint(@SpringQueryMap Params params); }
If you need more control over the generated query parameter map, you can implement a custom `QueryMapEncoder` bean. === HATEOAS support Spring provides some APIs to create REST representations that follow the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS[HATEOAS] principle, https://spring.io/projects/spring-hateoas[Spring Hateoas] and https://spring.io/projects/spring-data-rest[Spring Data REST]. If your project use the `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-hateoas` starter or the `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-rest` starter, Feign HATEOAS support is enabled by default. When HATEOAS support is enabled, Feign clients are allowed to serialize and deserialize HATEOAS representation models: https://docs.spring.io/spring-hateoas/docs/1.0.0.M1/apidocs/org/springframework/hateoas/EntityModel.html[EntityModel], https://docs.spring.io/spring-hateoas/docs/1.0.0.M1/apidocs/org/springframework/hateoas/CollectionModel.html[CollectionModel] and https://docs.spring.io/spring-hateoas/docs/1.0.0.M1/apidocs/org/springframework/hateoas/PagedModel.html[PagedModel]. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient("demo") public interface DemoTemplate {
@GetMapping(path = "/stores") CollectionModel<Store> getStores(); }
=== Spring @MatrixVariable Support Spring Cloud OpenFeign provides support for the Spring `@MatrixVariable` annotation. If a map is passed as the method argument, the `@MatrixVariable` path segment is created by joining key-value pairs from the map with a `=`. If a different object is passed, either the `name` provided in the `@MatrixVariable` annotation (if defined) or the annotated variable name is joined with the provided method argument using `=`. IMPORTANT:: Even though, on the server side, Spring does not require the users to name the path segment placeholder same as the matrix variable name, since it would be too ambiguous on the client side, Spring Cloud OpenFeign requires that you add a path segment placeholder with a name matching either the `name` provided in the `@MatrixVariable` annotation (if defined) or the annotated variable name. For example: [source,java,indent=0]
@GetMapping("/objects/links/{matrixVars}") Map<String, List<String>> getObjects(@MatrixVariable Map<String, List<String>> matrixVars);
Note that both variable name and the path segment placeholder are called `matrixVars`. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient("demo") public interface DemoTemplate {
@GetMapping(path = "/stores") CollectionModel<Store> getStores(); }
=== Feign `CollectionFormat` support We support `feign.CollectionFormat` by providing the `@CollectionFormat` annotation.You can annotate a Feign client method with it by passing the desired `feign.CollectionFormat` as annotation value. In the following example, the `CSV` format is used instead of the default `EXPLODED` to process the method. [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient(name = "demo") protected interface PageableFeignClient {
@CollectionFormat(feign.CollectionFormat.CSV) @GetMapping(path = "/page") ResponseEntity performRequest(Pageable page);
}
TIP: Set the `CSV` format while sending `Pageable` as a query parameter in order for it to be encoded correctly. === Reactive Support As the https://github.com/OpenFeign/feign[OpenFeign project] does not currently support reactive clients, such as https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/reactive/function/client/WebClient.html[Spring WebClient], neither does Spring Cloud OpenFeign.We will add support for it here as soon as it becomes available in the core project. Until that is done, we recommend using https://github.com/Playtika/feign-reactive[feign-reactive] for Spring WebClient support. ==== Early Initialization Errors Depending on how you are using your Feign clients you may see initialization errors when starting your application. To work around this problem you can use an `ObjectProvider` when autowiring your client. [source,java,indent=0]
@Autowired ObjectProvider<TestFeginClient> testFeginClient;
=== Spring Data Support You may consider enabling Jackson Modules for the support `org.springframework.data.domain.Page` and `org.springframework.data.domain.Sort` decoding. [source,java]
feign.autoconfiguration.jackson.enabled=true
=== Spring `@RefreshScope` Support If Feign client refresh is enabled, each feign client is created with `feign.Request.Options` as a refresh-scoped bean. This means properties such as `connectTimeout` and `readTimeout` can be refreshed against any Feign client instance through `POST /actuator/refresh`. By default, refresh behavior in Feign clients is disabled. Use the following property to enable refresh behavior: [source,java]
feign.client.refresh-enabled=true
TIP: DO NOT annotate the `@FeignClient` interface with the `@RefreshScope` annotation. == Configuration properties To see the list of all Spring Cloud OpenFeign related configuration properties please check link:appendix.html[the Appendix page]. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-sleuth :project-version: {spring-cloud-sleuth-version} [[spring-cloud-sleuth-reference-documentation]] = Spring Cloud Sleuth Reference Documentation Adrian Cole, Spencer Gibb, Marcin Grzejszczak, Dave Syer, Jay Bryant :docinfo: shared :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Sleuth // project-specific attributes :core_path: {project-root} :docs_path: {project-root}/docs :autoconfig_path: {project-root}/spring-cloud-sleuth-autoconfigure :api_path: {project-root}/spring-cloud-sleuth-api :brave_path: {project-root}/spring-cloud-sleuth-brave :tests_path: {core_path}/tests :common_tests_path: {tests_path}/common :brave_tests_path: {tests_path}/brave The reference documentation consists of the following sections: [horizontal] <<legal.adoc#legal,Legal>> :: Legal information. <<documentation-overview.adoc#sleuth-documentation-about,Documentation Overview>> :: About the Documentation, Getting Help, First Steps, and more. <<getting-started.adoc#getting-started,Getting Started>> :: Introducing {project-full-name}, Developing Your First {project-full-name}-based Application <<using.adoc#using,Using {project-full-name}>> :: {project-full-name} usage examples and workflows. <<project-features.adoc#features,{project-full-name} Features>> :: Span creation, context propagation, and more. <<howto.adoc#howto,"`How-to`" Guides>> :: Add sampling, propagate remote tags, and more. <<integrations.adoc#sleuth-integration,{project-full-name} Integrations>> :: Instrumentation configuration, context propagation, and more. <<appendix.adoc#appendix,Appendices>> :: Span definitions and configuration properties. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-stream :project-version: {spring-cloud-stream-version} :toc: left :toclevels: 8 :nofooter: :sectlinks: true *{project-version}* [[spring-cloud-stream-reference]] :doctype: book // ====================================================================================== == Preface === A Brief History of Spring's Data Integration Journey Spring's journey on Data Integration started with https://projects.spring.io/spring-integration/[Spring Integration]. With its programming model, it provided a consistent developer experience to build applications that can embrace http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/[Enterprise Integration Patterns] to connect with external systems such as, databases, message brokers, and among others. Fast forward to the cloud-era, where microservices have become prominent in the enterprise setting. https://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/[Spring Boot] transformed the way how developers built Applications. With Spring's programming model and the runtime responsibilities handled by Spring Boot, it became seamless to develop stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based microservices. To extend this to Data Integration workloads, Spring Integration and Spring Boot were put together into a new project. Spring Cloud Stream was born. [%hardbreaks] With Spring Cloud Stream, developers can: - Build, test and deploy data-centric applications in isolation. - Apply modern microservices architecture patterns, including composition through messaging. - Decouple application responsibilities with event-centric thinking. An event can represent something that has happened in time, to which the downstream consumer applications can react without knowing where it originated or the producer's identity. - Port the business logic onto message brokers (such as RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, Amazon Kinesis). - Rely on the framework's automatic content-type support for common use-cases. Extending to different data conversion types is possible. - and many more. . . === Quick Start You can try Spring Cloud Stream in less than 5 min even before you jump into any details by following this three-step guide. We show you how to create a Spring Cloud Stream application that receives messages coming from the messaging middleware of your choice (more on this later) and logs received messages to the console. We call it `LoggingConsumer`. While not very practical, it provides a good introduction to some of the main concepts and abstractions, making it easier to digest the rest of this user guide. The three steps are as follows: . <<spring-cloud-stream-preface-creating-sample-application>> . <<spring-cloud-stream-preface-importing-project>> . <<spring-cloud-stream-preface-adding-message-handler>> [[spring-cloud-stream-preface-creating-sample-application]] ==== Creating a Sample Application by Using Spring Initializr To get started, visit the https://start.spring.io[Spring Initializr]. From there, you can generate our `LoggingConsumer` application. To do so: . In the *Dependencies* section, start typing `stream`. When the "`Cloud Stream`" option should appears, select it. . Start typing either 'kafka' or 'rabbit'. . Select "`Kafka`" or "`RabbitMQ`". + Basically, you choose the messaging middleware to which your application binds. We recommend using the one you have already installed or feel more comfortable with installing and running. Also, as you can see from the Initilaizer screen, there are a few other options you can choose. For example, you can choose Gradle as your build tool instead of Maven (the default). . In the *Artifact* field, type 'logging-consumer'. + The value of the *Artifact* field becomes the application name. If you chose RabbitMQ for the middleware, your Spring Initializr should now be as follows: [%hardbreaks] [%hardbreaks] [%hardbreaks] image::/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/spring-initializr.png[align="center"] [%hardbreaks] [%hardbreaks] . Click the *Generate Project* button. + Doing so downloads the zipped version of the generated project to your hard drive. . Unzip the file into the folder you want to use as your project directory. TIP: We encourage you to explore the many possibilities available in the Spring Initializr. It lets you create many different kinds of Spring applications. [[spring-cloud-stream-preface-importing-project]] ==== Importing the Project into Your IDE Now you can import the project into your IDE. Keep in mind that, depending on the IDE, you may need to follow a specific import procedure. For example, depending on how the project was generated (Maven or Gradle), you may need to follow specific import procedure (for example, in Eclipse or STS, you need to use File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Project). Once imported, the project must have no errors of any kind. Also, `src/main/java` should contain `com.example.loggingconsumer.LoggingConsumerApplication`. Technically, at this point, you can run the application's main class. It is already a valid Spring Boot application. However, it does not do anything, so we want to add some code. [[spring-cloud-stream-preface-adding-message-handler]] ==== Adding a Message Handler, Building, and Running Modify the `com.example.loggingconsumer.LoggingConsumerApplication` class to look as follows: [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class LoggingConsumerApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(LoggingConsumerApplication.class, args); }
@Bean public Consumer<Person> log() { return person -> { System.out.println("Received: " + person); }; }
public static class Person { private String name; public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String toString() { return this.name; } } }
As you can see from the preceding listing: * We are using functional programming model (see <<Spring Cloud Function support>>) to define a single message handler as `Consumer`. * We are relying on framework conventions to bind such handler to the input destination binding exposed by the binder. Doing so also lets you see one of the core features of the framework: It tries to automatically convert incoming message payloads to type `Person`. You now have a fully functional Spring Cloud Stream application that does listens for messages. From here, for simplicity, we assume you selected RabbitMQ in <<spring-cloud-stream-preface-creating-sample-application,step one>>. Assuming you have RabbitMQ installed and running, you can start the application by running its `main` method in your IDE. You should see following output: [source]
--- [ main] c.s.b.r.p.RabbitExchangeQueueProvisioner : declaring queue for inbound: input.anonymous.CbMIwdkJSBO1ZoPDOtHtCg, bound to: input --- [ main] o.s.a.r.c.CachingConnectionFactory : Attempting to connect to: [localhost:5672] --- [ main] o.s.a.r.c.CachingConnectionFactory : Created new connection: rabbitConnectionFactory#2a3a299:0/SimpleConnection@66c83fc8. . . . . . --- [ main] o.s.i.a.i.AmqpInboundChannelAdapter : started inbound.input.anonymous.CbMIwdkJSBO1ZoPDOtHtCg . . . --- [ main] c.e.l.LoggingConsumerApplication : Started LoggingConsumerApplication in 2.531 seconds (JVM running for 2.897)
Go to the RabbitMQ management console or any other RabbitMQ client and send a message to `input.anonymous.CbMIwdkJSBO1ZoPDOtHtCg`. The `anonymous.CbMIwdkJSBO1ZoPDOtHtCg` part represents the group name and is generated, so it is bound to be different in your environment. For something more predictable, you can use an explicit group name by setting `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.group=hello` (or whatever name you like). The contents of the message should be a JSON representation of the `Person` class, as follows: {"name":"Sam Spade"} Then, in your console, you should see: `Received: Sam Spade` You can also build and package your application into a boot jar (by using `./mvnw clean install`) and run the built JAR by using the `java -jar` command. Now you have a working (albeit very basic) Spring Cloud Stream application. == What's New in 3.x? [[spring-cloud-stream-preface-new-features]] === New Features and Enhancements - *Routing Function* - see <<Event Routing>> for more details. - *StreamBridge* - for dynamic destinations. See <<Sending arbitrary data to an output (e.g. Foreign event-driven sources)>> for more details. - *Multiple bindings with functions* (multiple message handlers) - see <<Multiple functions in a single application>> for more details. - *Functions with multiple inputs/outputs* (single function that can subscribe or target multiple destinations) - see <<Functions with multiple input and output arguments>> for more details. - *Native support for reactive programming* - since v3.0.0 we no longer distribute spring-cloud-stream-reactive modules and instead relying on native reactive support provided by spring cloud function. For backward compatibility you can still bring `spring-cloud-stream-reactive` from previous versions. [[spring-cloud-stream-preface-notable-deprecations]] === Notable Deprecations - Annotation-based programming model. Basically the @EnableBInding, @StreamListener and all related annotations are now deprecated in favor of the functional programming model. See <<Spring Cloud Function support>> for more details. - _Reactive module_ (`spring-cloud-stream-reactive`) is discontinued and no longer distributed in favor of native support via spring-cloud-function. For backward compatibility you can still bring `spring-cloud-stream-reactive` from previous versions. - _Test support binder_ `spring-cloud-stream-test-support` with MessageCollector in favor of a new test binder. See <<Testing>> for more details. - _@StreamMessageConverter_ - deprecated as it is no longer required. - The `original-content-type` header references have been removed after it's been deprecated in v2.0. - The `BinderAwareChannelResolver` is deprecated in favor if providing `spring.cloud.stream.sendto.destination` property. This is primarily for function-based programming model. For StreamListener it would still be required and thus will stay until we deprecate and eventually discontinue StreamListener and annotation-based programming model. [partintro] -- This section goes into more detail about how you can work with Spring Cloud Stream. It covers topics such as creating and running stream applications. -- [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-introducing]] == Introducing Spring Cloud Stream Spring Cloud Stream is a framework for building message-driven microservice applications. Spring Cloud Stream builds upon Spring Boot to create standalone, production-grade Spring applications and uses Spring Integration to provide connectivity to message brokers. It provides opinionated configuration of middleware from several vendors, introducing the concepts of persistent publish-subscribe semantics, consumer groups, and partitions. By adding `spring-cloud-stream` dependencies to the classpath of your application, you get immediate connectivity to a message broker exposed by the provided `spring-cloud-stream` binder (more on that later), and you can implement your functional requirement, which is run (based on the incoming message) by a `java.util.function.Function`. The following listing shows a quick example: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(SampleApplication.class, args); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); } }
The following listing shows the corresponding test: [source,java]
@SpringBootTest(classes = SampleApplication.class) @Import({TestChannelBinderConfiguration.class}) class BootTestStreamApplicationTests {
@Autowired private InputDestination input;
@Autowired private OutputDestination output;
@Test void contextLoads() { input.send(new GenericMessage<byte[]>("hello".getBytes())); assertThat(output.receive().getPayload()).isEqualTo("HELLO".getBytes()); } }
== Main Concepts Spring Cloud Stream provides a number of abstractions and primitives that simplify the writing of message-driven microservice applications. This section gives an overview of the following: * <<spring-cloud-stream-overview-application-model,Spring Cloud Stream's application model>> * <<spring-cloud-stream-overview-binder-abstraction>> * <<spring-cloud-stream-overview-persistent-publish-subscribe-support,Persistent publish-subscribe support>> * <<consumer-groups,Consumer group support>> * <<partitioning,Partitioning support>> * <<spring-cloud-stream-overview-binder-api,A pluggable Binder SPI>> [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-application-model]] === Application Model A Spring Cloud Stream application consists of a middleware-neutral core. The application communicates with the outside world by establishing _bindings_ between destinations exposed by the external brokers and input/output arguments in your code. Broker specific details necessary to establish bindings are handled by middleware-specific _Binder_ implementations. .Spring Cloud Stream Application image::{github-raw}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/SCSt-with-binder.png[width=800,scaledwidth="75%",align="center"] ==== Fat JAR Spring Cloud Stream applications can be run in stand-alone mode from your IDE for testing. To run a Spring Cloud Stream application in production, you can create an executable (or "`fat`") JAR by using the standard Spring Boot tooling provided for Maven or Gradle. See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-build.html#howto-create-an-executable-jar-with-maven[Spring Boot Reference Guide] for more details. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-binder-abstraction]] === The Binder Abstraction Spring Cloud Stream provides Binder implementations for https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka[Kafka] and https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream-binder-rabbit[Rabbit MQ]. The framework also includes a test binder for integration testing of your applications as spring-cloud-stream application. See <<Testing>> section for more details. Binder abstraction is also one of the extension points of the framework, which means you can implement your own binder on top of Spring Cloud Stream. In the https://medium.com/@domenicosibilio/how-to-create-a-spring-cloud-stream-binder-from-scratch-ab8b29ee931b[How to create a Spring Cloud Stream Binder from scratch] post a community member documents in details, with an example, a set of steps necessary to implement a custom binder. The steps are also highlighted in the `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-custom-binder-impl>>` section. Spring Cloud Stream uses Spring Boot for configuration, and the Binder abstraction makes it possible for a Spring Cloud Stream application to be flexible in how it connects to middleware. For example, deployers can dynamically choose, at runtime, the mapping between the external destinations (such as the Kafka topics or RabbitMQ exchanges) and inputs and outputs of the message handler (such as input parameter of the function and its return argument). Such configuration can be provided through external configuration properties and in any form supported by Spring Boot (including application arguments, environment variables, and `application.yml` or `application.properties` files). In the sink example from the <<spring-cloud-stream-overview-introducing>> section, setting the `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination` application property to `raw-sensor-data` causes it to read from the `raw-sensor-data` Kafka topic or from a queue bound to the `raw-sensor-data` RabbitMQ exchange. Spring Cloud Stream automatically detects and uses a binder found on the classpath. You can use different types of middleware with the same code. To do so, include a different binder at build time. For more complex use cases, you can also package multiple binders with your application and have it choose the binder( and even whether to use different binders for different bindings) at runtime. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-persistent-publish-subscribe-support]] === Persistent Publish-Subscribe Support Communication between applications follows a publish-subscribe model, where data is broadcast through shared topics. This can be seen in the following figure, which shows a typical deployment for a set of interacting Spring Cloud Stream applications. .Spring Cloud Stream Publish-Subscribe image::{github-raw}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/SCSt-sensors.png[width=800,scaledwidth="75%",align="center"] Data reported by sensors to an HTTP endpoint is sent to a common destination named `raw-sensor-data`. From the destination, it is independently processed by a microservice application that computes time-windowed averages and by another microservice application that ingests the raw data into HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System). In order to process the data, both applications declare the topic as their input at runtime. The publish-subscribe communication model reduces the complexity of both the producer and the consumer and lets new applications be added to the topology without disruption of the existing flow. For example, downstream from the average-calculating application, you can add an application that calculates the highest temperature values for display and monitoring. You can then add another application that interprets the same flow of averages for fault detection. Doing all communication through shared topics rather than point-to-point queues reduces coupling between microservices. While the concept of publish-subscribe messaging is not new, Spring Cloud Stream takes the extra step of making it an opinionated choice for its application model. By using native middleware support, Spring Cloud Stream also simplifies use of the publish-subscribe model across different platforms. [[consumer-groups]] === Consumer Groups While the publish-subscribe model makes it easy to connect applications through shared topics, the ability to scale up by creating multiple instances of a given application is equally important. When doing so, different instances of an application are placed in a competing consumer relationship, where only one of the instances is expected to handle a given message. Spring Cloud Stream models this behavior through the concept of a consumer group. (Spring Cloud Stream consumer groups are similar to and inspired by Kafka consumer groups.) Each consumer binding can use the `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<bindingName>.group` property to specify a group name. For the consumers shown in the following figure, this property would be set as `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<bindingName>.group=hdfsWrite` or `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<bindingName>.group=average`. .Spring Cloud Stream Consumer Groups image::{github-raw}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/SCSt-groups.png[width=800,scaledwidth="75%",align="center"] All groups that subscribe to a given destination receive a copy of published data, but only one member of each group receives a given message from that destination. By default, when a group is not specified, Spring Cloud Stream assigns the application to an anonymous and independent single-member consumer group that is in a publish-subscribe relationship with all other consumer groups. [[consumer-types]] === Consumer Types Two types of consumer are supported: * Message-driven (sometimes referred to as Asynchronous) * Polled (sometimes referred to as Synchronous) Prior to version 2.0, only asynchronous consumers were supported. A message is delivered as soon as it is available and a thread is available to process it. When you wish to control the rate at which messages are processed, you might want to use a synchronous consumer. // TODO This needs more description. A sentence parallel to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph would help. [[durability]] ==== Durability Consistent with the opinionated application model of Spring Cloud Stream, consumer group subscriptions are durable. That is, a binder implementation ensures that group subscriptions are persistent and that, once at least one subscription for a group has been created, the group receives messages, even if they are sent while all applications in the group are stopped. [NOTE] ==== Anonymous subscriptions are non-durable by nature. For some binder implementations (such as RabbitMQ), it is possible to have non-durable group subscriptions. ==== In general, it is preferable to always specify a consumer group when binding an application to a given destination. When scaling up a Spring Cloud Stream application, you must specify a consumer group for each of its input bindings. Doing so prevents the application's instances from receiving duplicate messages (unless that behavior is desired, which is unusual). [[partitioning]] === Partitioning Support Spring Cloud Stream provides support for partitioning data between multiple instances of a given application. In a partitioned scenario, the physical communication medium (such as the broker topic) is viewed as being structured into multiple partitions. One or more producer application instances send data to multiple consumer application instances and ensure that data identified by common characteristics are processed by the same consumer instance. Spring Cloud Stream provides a common abstraction for implementing partitioned processing use cases in a uniform fashion. Partitioning can thus be used whether the broker itself is naturally partitioned (for example, Kafka) or not (for example, RabbitMQ). .Spring Cloud Stream Partitioning image::{github-raw}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/SCSt-partitioning.png[width=800,scaledwidth="75%",align="center"] Partitioning is a critical concept in stateful processing, where it is critical (for either performance or consistency reasons) to ensure that all related data is processed together. For example, in the time-windowed average calculation example, it is important that all measurements from any given sensor are processed by the same application instance. NOTE: To set up a partitioned processing scenario, you must configure both the data-producing and the data-consuming ends. == Programming Model To understand the programming model, you should be familiar with the following core concepts: * *Destination Binders:* Components responsible to provide integration with the external messaging systems. * *Bindings:* Bridge between the external messaging systems and application provided _Producers_ and _Consumers_ of messages (created by the Destination Binders). * *Message:* The canonical data structure used by producers and consumers to communicate with Destination Binders (and thus other applications via external messaging systems). image::{github-raw}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/SCSt-overview.png[width=800,scaledwidth="75%",align="center"] === Destination Binders Destination Binders are extension components of Spring Cloud Stream responsible for providing the necessary configuration and implementation to facilitate integration with external messaging systems. This integration is responsible for connectivity, delegation, and routing of messages to and from producers and consumers, data type conversion, invocation of the user code, and more. Binders handle a lot of the boiler plate responsibilities that would otherwise fall on your shoulders. However, to accomplish that, the binder still needs some help in the form of minimalistic yet required set of instructions from the user, which typically come in the form of some type of _binding_ configuration. While it is out of scope of this section to discuss all of the available binder and binding configuration options (the rest of the manual covers them extensively), _Binding_ as a concept, does require special attention. The next section discusses it in detail. === Bindings As stated earlier, _Bindings_ provide a bridge between the external messaging system (e.g., queue, topic etc.) and application-provided _Producers_ and _Consumers_. The following example shows a fully configured and functioning Spring Cloud Stream application that receives the payload of the message as a `String` type (see <<Content Type Negotiation>> section), logs it to the console and sends it down stream after converting it to upper case. [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(SampleApplication.class, args); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> { System.out.println("Received: " + value); return value.toUpperCase(); }; } }
The above example looks no different then any vanilla spring-boot application. It defines a single bean of type `Function` and that it is. So, how does it became spring-cloud-stream application? It becomes spring-cloud-stream application simply based on the presence of spring-cloud-stream and binder dependencies and auto-configuration classes on the classpath effectively setting the context for your boot application as spring-cloud-stream application. And in this context beans of type `Supplier`, `Function` or `Consumer` are treated as defacto message handlers triggering binding of to destinations exposed by the provided binder following certain naming conventions and rules to avoid extra configuration. ==== Binding and Binding names Binding is an abstraction that represents a bridge between sources and targets exposed by the binder and user code, This abstraction has a name and while we try to do our best to limit configuration required to run spring-cloud-stream applications, being aware of such name(s) is necessary for cases where additional per-binding configuration is required. Throughout this manual you will see examples of configuration properties such as `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=myQueue`. The `input` segment in this property name is what we refer to as _binding name_ and it could derive via several mechanisms. The following sub-sections will describe the naming conventions and configuration elements used by spring-cloud-stream to control binding names. ===== Functional binding names Unlike the explicit naming required by annotation-based support (legacy) used in the previous versions of spring-cloud-stream, the functional programming model defaults to a simple convention when it comes to binding names, thus greatly simplifying application configuration. Let's look at the first example: [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleApplication {
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); } }
In the preceding example we have an application with a single function which acts as message handler. As a `Function` it has an input and output. The naming convention used to name input and output bindings is as follows: * input - `<functionName> + -in- + <index>` * output - `<functionName> + -out- + <index>` The `in` and `out` corresponds to the type of binding (such as _input_ or _output_). The `index` is the index of the input or output binding. It is always 0 for typical single input/output function, so it's only relevant for <<Functions with multiple input and output arguments>>. So if for example you would want to map the input of this function to a remote destination (e.g., topic, queue etc) called "my-topic" you would do so with the following property:
--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.destination=my-topic
Note how `uppercase-in-0` is used as a segment in property name. The same goes for `uppercase-out-0`. ***Descriptive Binding Names*** Some times to improve readability you may want to give your binding a more descriptive name (such as 'account', 'orders` etc). Another way of looking at it is you can map an _implicit binding name_ to an _explicit binding name_. And you can do it with `spring.cloud.stream.function.bindings.<binding-name>` property. This property also provides a migration path for existing applications that rely on custom interface-based bindings that require explicit names. For example,
--spring.cloud.stream.function.bindings.uppercase-in-0=input
In the preceding example you mapped and effectively renamed `uppercase-in-0` binding name to `input`. Now all configuration properties can refer to `input` binding name instead (e.g., `--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=my-topic`). NOTE: While descriptive binding names may enhance the readability aspect of the configuration, they also create another level of misdirection by mapping an implicit binding name to an explicit binding name. And since all subsequent configuration properties will use the explicit binding name you must always refer to this 'bindings' property to correlate which function it actually corresponds to. We believe that for most cases (with the exception of <<Functional Composition>>) it may be an overkill, so, it is our recommendation to avoid using it altogether, especially since not using it provides a clear path between binder destination and binding name, such as `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.destination=sample-topic`, where you are clearly correlating the input of `uppercase` function to `sample-topic` destination. For more on properties and other configuration options please see <<Configuration Options>> section. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-producing-consuming-messages]] === Producing and Consuming Messages You can write a Spring Cloud Stream application by simply writing functions and exposing them as `@Bean`s. You can also use Spring Integration annotations based configuration or Spring Cloud Stream annotation based configuration, although starting with spring-cloud-stream 3.x we recommend using functional implementations. [[spring_cloud_function]] ==== Spring Cloud Function support ===== Overview Since Spring Cloud Stream v2.1, another alternative for defining _stream handlers_ and _sources_ is to use build-in support for https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-function/[Spring Cloud Function] where they can be expressed as beans of type `java.util.function.[Supplier/Function/Consumer]`. To specify which functional bean to bind to the external destination(s) exposed by the bindings, you must provide `spring.cloud.function.definition` property. NOTE: In the event you only have single bean of type `java.util.function.[Supplier/Function/Consumer]`, you can skip the `spring.cloud.function.definition` property, since such functional bean will be auto-discovered. However, it is considered best practice to use such property to avoid any confusion. Some time this auto-discovery can get in the way, since single bean of type `java.util.function.[Supplier/Function/Consumer]` could be there for purposes other then handling messages, yet being single it is auto-discovered and auto-bound. For these rare scenarios you can disable auto-discovery by providing `spring.cloud.stream.function.autodetect` property with value set to `false`. Here is the example of the application exposing message handler as `java.util.function.Function` effectively supporting _pass-thru_ semantics by acting as consumer and producer of data. [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class MyFunctionBootApp {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(MyFunctionBootApp.class); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> toUpperCase() { return s -> s.toUpperCase(); } }
In the preceding example, we define a bean of type `java.util.function.Function` called _toUpperCase_ to be acting as message handler whose 'input' and 'output' must be bound to the external destinations exposed by the provided destination binder. By default the 'input' and 'output' binding names will be `toUpperCase-in-0` and `toUpperCase-out-0`. Please see <<Functional binding names>> section for details on naming convention used to establish binding names. Below are the examples of simple functional applications to support other semantics: Here is the example of a _source_ semantics exposed as `java.util.function.Supplier` [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SourceFromSupplier {
@Bean public Supplier<Date> date() { return () -> new Date(12345L); } }
Here is the example of a _sink semantics_ exposed as `java.util.function.Consumer` [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SinkFromConsumer {
@Bean public Consumer<String> sink() { return System.out::println; } }
===== Suppliers (Sources) `Function` and `Consumer` are pretty straightforward when it comes to how their invocation is triggered. They are triggered based on data (events) sent to the destination they are bound to. In other words, they are classic event-driven components. However, `Supplier` is in its own category when it comes to triggering. Since it is, by definition, the source (the origin) of the data, it does not subscribe to any in-bound destination and, therefore, has to be triggered by some other mechanism(s). There is also a question of `Supplier` implementation, which could be _imperative_ or _reactive_ and which directly relates to the triggering of such suppliers. Consider the following sample: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SupplierConfiguration {
@Bean public Supplier<String> stringSupplier() { return () -> "Hello from Supplier"; } }
The preceding `Supplier` bean produces a string whenever its `get()` method is invoked. However, who invokes this method and how often? The framework provides a default polling mechanism (answering the question of "Who?") that will trigger the invocation of the supplier and by default it will do so every second (answering the question of "How often?"). In other words, the above configuration produces a single message every second and each message is sent to an `output` destination that is exposed by the binder. To learn how to customize the polling mechanism, see <<Polling Configuration Properties>> section. Consider a different example: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SupplierConfiguration {
@Bean public Supplier<Flux<String>> stringSupplier() { return () -> Flux.fromStream(Stream.generate(new Supplier<String>() { @Override public String get() { try { Thread.sleep(1000); return "Hello from Supplier"; } catch (Exception e) { // ignore } } })).subscribeOn(Schedulers.elastic()).share(); } }
The preceding `Supplier` bean adopts the reactive programming style. Typically, and unlike the imperative supplier, it should be triggered only once, given that the invocation of its `get()` method produces (supplies) the continuous stream of messages and not an individual message. The framework recognizes the difference in the programming style and guarantees that such a supplier is triggered only once. However, imagine the use case where you want to poll some data source and return a finite stream of data representing the result set. The reactive programming style is a perfect mechanism for such a Supplier. However, given the finite nature of the produced stream, such Supplier still needs to be invoked periodically. Consider the following sample, which emulates such use case by producing a finite stream of data: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SupplierConfiguration {
@PollableBean public Supplier<Flux<String>> stringSupplier() { return () -> Flux.just("hello", "bye"); } }
The bean itself is annotated with `PollableBean` annotation (sub-set of `@Bean`), thus signaling to the framework that although the implementation of such a supplier is reactive, it still needs to be polled. NOTE: There is a `splittable` attribute defined in `PollableBean` which signals to the post processors of this annotation that the result produced by the annotated component has to be split and is set to `true` by default. It means that the framework will split the returning sending out each item as an individual message. If this is not he desired behavior you can set it to `false` at which point such supplier will simply return the produced Flux without splitting it. ====== Supplier & threading NOTE: As you have learned by now, unlike `Function` and `Consumer`, which are triggered by an event (they have input data), `Supplier` does not have any input and thus triggered by a different mechanism - _poller_, which may have an unpredictable threading mechanism. And while the details of the threading mechanism most of the time are not relevant to the downstream execution of the function it may present an issue in certain cases especially with integrated frameworks that may have certain expectations to thread affinity. For example, https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud-sleuth[Spring Cloud Sleuth] which relies on tracing data stored in thread local. For those cases we have another mechanism via `StreamBridge`, where user has more control over threading mechanism. You can get more details in <<Sending arbitrary data to an output (e.g. Foreign event-driven sources)>> section. ===== Consumer (Reactive) Reactive `Consumer` is a little bit special because it has a void return type, leaving framework with no reference to subscribe to. Most likely you will not need to write `Consumer<Flux<?>>`, and instead write it as a `Function<Flux<?>, Mono<Void>>` invoking `then` operator as the last operator on your stream. For example: [source,java]
public Function<Flux<?>, Mono<Void>>consumer() { return flux → flux.map(..).filter(..).then(); }
But if you do need to write an explicit `Consumer<Flux<?>>`, remember to subscribe to the incoming Flux. ====== Polling Configuration Properties The following properties are exposed (although deprecated since version 3.2) by Spring Cloud Stream and are prefixed with the `spring.cloud.stream.poller`: fixedDelay:: Fixed delay for default poller in milliseconds. + Default: 1000L. maxMessagesPerPoll:: Maximum messages for each polling event of the default poller. + Default: 1L. cron:: Cron expression value for the Cron Trigger. + Default: none. initialDelay:: Initial delay for periodic triggers. + Default: 0. timeUnit:: The TimeUnit to apply to delay values. + Default: MILLISECONDS. For example `--spring.cloud.stream.poller.fixed-delay=2000` sets the poller interval to poll every two seconds. IMPORTANT: These poller properties are deprecated starting version 3.2 in favor of similar configuration properties from Spring Boot auto-configuration for Spring Integration. See `org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.integration.IntegrationProperties.Poller` for more information. ===== Sending arbitrary data to an output (e.g. Foreign event-driven sources) There are cases where the actual source of data may be coming from the external (foreign) system that is not a binder. For example, the source of the data may be a classic REST endpoint. How do we bridge such source with the functional mechanism used by spring-cloud-stream? Spring Cloud Stream provides two mechanisms, so let's look at them in more details Here, for both samples we'll use a standard MVC endpoint method called `delegateToSupplier` bound to the root web context, delegating incoming requests to stream via StreamBridge mechanism. [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class WebSourceApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(WebSourceApplication.class, "--spring.cloud.stream.source=toStream"); }
@Autowired private StreamBridge streamBridge;
@RequestMapping @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED) public void delegateToSupplier(@RequestBody String body) { System.out.println("Sending " + body); streamBridge.send("toStream-out-0", body); } }
Here we autowire a `StreamBridge` bean which allows us to send data to an output binding effectively bridging non-stream application with spring-cloud-stream. Note that preceding example does not have any source functions defined (e.g., Supplier bean) leaving the framework with no trigger to create source bindings, which would be typical for cases where configuration contains function beans. So to trigger the creation of source binding we use `spring.cloud.stream.source` property where you can declare the name of your sources. The provided name will be used as a trigger to create a source binding. So in the preceding example the name of the output binding will be `toStream-out-0` which is consistent with the binding naming convention used by functions (see <<Binding and Binding names>>). You can use `;` to signify multiple sources (e.g., `--spring.cloud.stream.source=foo;bar`) Also, note that `streamBridge.send(..)` method takes an `Object` for data. This means you can send POJO or `Message` to it and it will go through the same routine when sending output as if it was from any Function or Supplier providing the same level of consistency as with functions. This means the output type conversion, partitioning etc are honored as if it was from the output produced by functions. ====== StreamBridge and Dynamic Destinations `StreamBridge` can also be used for cases when output destination(s) are not known ahead of time similar to the use cases described in <<Routing FROM Consumer>> section. Let's look at the example [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class WebSourceApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(WebSourceApplication.class, args); }
@Autowired private StreamBridge streamBridge;
@RequestMapping @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED) public void delegateToSupplier(@RequestBody String body) { System.out.println("Sending " + body); streamBridge.send("myDestination", body); } }
As you can see the preceding example is very similar to the previous one with the exception of explicit binding instruction provided via `spring.cloud.stream.source` property (which is not provided). Here we're sending data to `myDestination` name which does not exist as a binding. Therefore such name will be treated as dynamic destination as described in <<Routing FROM Consumer>> section. In the preceding example, we are using `ApplicationRunner` as a _foreign source_ to feed the stream. A more practical example, where the foreign source is REST endpoint. [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class WebSourceApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(WebSourceApplication.class); }
@Autowired private StreamBridge streamBridge;
@RequestMapping @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED) public void delegateToSupplier(@RequestBody String body) { streamBridge.send("myBinidng", body); } }
As you can see inside of `delegateToSupplier` method we're using StreamBridge to send data to `myBinidng` binding. And here you're also benefiting from the dynamic features of StreamBridge where if `myBinidng` doesn't exist it will be created automatically, otherwise existing binding will be used.
curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -X POST -d "hello from the other side" localhost:8080/
By showing two example we want to emphasize the approach will work with any type of foreign sources. ====== Output Content Type with StreamBridge You can also provide specific content type if necessary with the following method signature `public boolean send(String bindingName, Object data, MimeType outputContentType)`. Or if you send data as a `Message`, its content type will be honored. ====== Using specific binder type with StreamBridge Spring Cloud Stream supports multiple binder scenarios. For example you may be receiving data from Kafka and sending it to RabbitMQ. For more information on multiple binders scenarios, please see <<Binders>> section and specifically <<Multiple Binders on the Classpath>> In the event you are planning to use StreamBridge and have more then one binder configured in your application you must also tell StreamBridge which binder to use. And for that there are two more variations of `send` method: [source, java]
public boolean send(String bindingName, @Nullable String binderType, Object data)
public boolean send(String bindingName, @Nullable String binderType, Object data, MimeType outputContentType)
As you can see there is one additional argument that you can provide - `binderType`, telling BindingService which binder to use when creating dynamic binding. NOTE: For cases where `spring.cloud.stream.source` property is used or the binding was already created under different binder, the `binderType` argument will have no effect. ====== Using channel interceptors with StreamBridge Since `StreamBridge` uses a `MessageChannel` to establish the output binding, you can activate channel interceptors when sending data through `StreamBridge`. It is up to the application to decide which channel interceptors to apply on `StreamBridge`. Spring Cloud Stream does not inject all the channel interceptors detected into `StreamBridge` unless they are annoatated with `@GlobalChannelInterceptor(patterns = "*")`. Let us assume that you have the following two different `StreamBridge` bindings in the application. `streamBridge.send("foo-out-0", message);` and `streamBridge.send("bar-out-0", message);` Now, if you want a channel interceptor applied on both the `StreamBridge` bindings, then you can declare the following `GlobalChannelInterceptor` bean. ``` @Bean @GlobalChannelInterceptor(patterns = "*") public ChannelInterceptor customInterceptor() { return new ChannelInterceptor() { @Override public Message<?> preSend(Message<?> message, MessageChannel channel) { ... } }; } ``` However, if you don't like the global approach above and want to have a dedicated interceptor for each binding, then you can do the following. ``` @Bean @GlobalChannelInterceptor(patterns = "foo-*") public ChannelInterceptor fooInterceptor() { return new ChannelInterceptor() { @Override public Message<?> preSend(Message<?> message, MessageChannel channel) { ... } }; } ``` and ``` @Bean @GlobalChannelInterceptor(patterns = "bar-*") public ChannelInterceptor barInterceptor() { return new ChannelInterceptor() { @Override public Message<?> preSend(Message<?> message, MessageChannel channel) { ... } }; } ``` You have the flexibility to make the patterns more strict or customized to your business needs. With this approach, the application gets the ability to decide which interceptors to inject in `StreamBridge` rather than applying all the available interceptors. ===== Reactive Functions support Since _Spring Cloud Function_ is build on top of https://projectreactor.io/[Project Reactor] there isn't much you need to do to benefit from reactive programming model while implementing `Supplier`, `Function` or `Consumer`. For example: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SinkFromConsumer {
@Bean public Function<Flux<String>, Flux<String>> reactiveUpperCase() { return flux -> flux.map(val -> val.toUpperCase()); } }
===== Functional Composition Using functional programming model you can also benefit from functional composition where you can dynamically compose complex handlers from a set of simple functions. As an example let's add the following function bean to the application defined above [source,java]
@Bean public Function<String, String> wrapInQuotes() { return s → "\"" + s + "\""; }
and modify the `spring.cloud.function.definition` property to reflect your intention to compose a new function from both ‘toUpperCase’ and ‘wrapInQuotes’. To do so Spring Cloud Function relies on `|` (pipe) symbol. So, to finish our example our property will now look like this: [source,java]
--spring.cloud.function.definition=toUpperCase|wrapInQuotes
NOTE: One of the great benefits of functional composition support provided by _Spring Cloud Function_ is the fact that you can compose _reactive_ and _imperative_ functions. The result of a composition is a single function which, as you may guess, could have a very long and rather cryptic name (e.g., `foo|bar|baz|xyz. . .`) presenting a great deal of inconvenience when it comes to other configuration properties. This is where _descriptive binding names_ feature described in <<Functional binding names>> section can help. For example, if we want to give our `toUpperCase|wrapInQuotes` a more descriptive name we can do so with the following property `spring.cloud.stream.function.bindings.toUpperCase|wrapInQuotes-in-0=quotedUpperCaseInput` allowing other configuration properties to refer to that binding name (e.g., `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.quotedUpperCaseInput.destination=myDestination`). ====== Functional Composition and Cross-cutting Concerns Function composition effectively allows you to address complexity by breaking it down to a set of simple and individually manageable/testable components that could still be represented as one at runtime. But that is not the only benefit. You can also use composition to address certain cross-cutting non-functional concerns, such as content enrichment. For example, assume you have an incoming message that may be lacking certain headers, or some headers are not in the exact state your business function would expect. You can now implement a separate function that addresses those concerns and then compose it with the main business function. Let’s look at the example [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class DemoStreamApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(DemoStreamApplication.class, "--spring.cloud.function.definition=enrich|echo", "--spring.cloud.stream.function.bindings.enrich|echo-in-0=input", "--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=myDestination", "--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.group=myGroup");
}
@Bean public Function<Message<String>, Message<String>> enrich() { return message -> { Assert.isTrue(!message.getHeaders().containsKey("foo"), "Should NOT contain 'foo' header"); return MessageBuilder.fromMessage(message).setHeader("foo", "bar").build(); }; }
@Bean public Function<Message<String>, Message<String>> echo() { return message -> { Assert.isTrue(message.getHeaders().containsKey("foo"), "Should contain 'foo' header"); System.out.println("Incoming message " + message); return message; }; } }
While trivial, this example demonstrates how one function enriches the incoming Message with the additional header(s) (non-functional concern), so the other function - `echo` - can benefit form it. The `echo` function stays clean and focused on business logic only. You can also see the usage of `spring.cloud.stream.function.bindings` property to simplify composed binding name. ===== Functions with multiple input and output arguments Starting with version 3.0 spring-cloud-stream provides support for functions that have multiple inputs and/or multiple outputs (return values). What does this actually mean and what type of use cases it is targeting? * _Big Data: Imagine the source of data you're dealing with is highly un-organized and contains various types of data elements (e.g., orders, transactions etc) and you effectively need to sort it out._ * _Data aggregation: Another use case may require you to merge data elements from 2+ incoming _streams_. The above describes just a few use cases where you may need to use a single function to accept and/or produce multiple _streams_ of data. And that is the type of use cases we are targeting here. Also, note a slightly different emphasis on the concept of _streams_ here. The assumption is that such functions are only valuable if they are given access to the actual streams of data (not the individual elements). So for that we are relying on abstractions provided by https://projectreactor.io/[Project Reactor] (i.e., `Flux` and `Mono`) which is already available on the classpath as part of the dependencies brought in by spring-cloud-functions. Another important aspect is representation of multiple input and outputs. While java provides variety of different abstractions to represent _multiple of something_ those abstractions are _a) unbounded_, _b) lack arity_ and _c) lack type information_ which are all important in this context. As an example, let's look at `Collection` or an array which only allows us to describe _multiple_ of a single type or up-cast everything to an `Object`, affecting the transparent type conversion feature of spring-cloud-stream and so on. So to accommodate all these requirements the initial support is relying on the signature which utilizes another abstraction provided by _Project Reactor_ - Tuples. However, we are working on allowing a more flexible signatures. IMPORTANT: Please refer to <<Binding and Binding names>> section to understand the naming convention used to establish _binding names_ used by such application. Let's look at the few samples: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleApplication {
@Bean public Function<Tuple2<Flux<String>, Flux<Integer>>, Flux<String>> gather() { return tuple -> { Flux<String> stringStream = tuple.getT1(); Flux<String> intStream = tuple.getT2().map(i -> String.valueOf(i)); return Flux.merge(stringStream, intStream); }; } }
The above example demonstrates function which takes two inputs (first of type `String` and second of type `Integer`) and produces a single output of type `String`. So, for the above example the two input bindings will be `gather-in-0` and `gather-in-1` and for consistency the output binding also follows the same convention and is named `gather-out-0`. Knowing that will allow you to set binding specific properties. For example, the following will override content-type for `gather-in-0` binding:
--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.gather-in-0.content-type=text/plain
[source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleApplication {
@Bean public static Function<Flux<Integer>, Tuple2<Flux<String>, Flux<String>>> scatter() { return flux -> { Flux<Integer> connectedFlux = flux.publish().autoConnect(2); UnicastProcessor even = UnicastProcessor.create(); UnicastProcessor odd = UnicastProcessor.create(); Flux<Integer> evenFlux = connectedFlux.filter(number -> number % 2 == 0).doOnNext(number -> even.onNext("EVEN: " + number)); Flux<Integer> oddFlux = connectedFlux.filter(number -> number % 2 != 0).doOnNext(number -> odd.onNext("ODD: " + number));
return Tuples.of(Flux.from(even).doOnSubscribe(x -> evenFlux.subscribe()), Flux.from(odd).doOnSubscribe(x -> oddFlux.subscribe())); }; } }
The above example is somewhat of a the opposite from the previous sample and demonstrates function which takes single input of type `Integer` and produces two outputs (both of type `String`). So, for the above example the input binding is `scatter-in-0` and the output bindings are `scatter-out-0` and `scatter-out-1`. And you test it with the following code: [source,java]
@Test public void testSingleInputMultiOutput() { try (ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder( TestChannelBinderConfiguration.getCompleteConfiguration( SampleApplication.class)) .run("--spring.cloud.function.definition=scatter")) {
InputDestination inputDestination = context.getBean(InputDestination.class); OutputDestination outputDestination = context.getBean(OutputDestination.class);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { inputDestination.send(MessageBuilder.withPayload(String.valueOf(i).getBytes()).build()); }
int counter = 0; for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { Message<byte[]> even = outputDestination.receive(0, 0); assertThat(even.getPayload()).isEqualTo(("EVEN: " + String.valueOf(counter++)).getBytes()); Message<byte[]> odd = outputDestination.receive(0, 1); assertThat(odd.getPayload()).isEqualTo(("ODD: " + String.valueOf(counter++)).getBytes()); } } }
===== Multiple functions in a single application There may also be a need for grouping several message handlers in a single application. You would do so by defining several functions. [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleApplication {
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> reverse() { return value -> new StringBuilder(value).reverse().toString(); } }
In the above example we have configuration which defines two functions `uppercase` and `reverse`. So first, as mentioned before, we need to notice that there is a a conflict (more then one function) and therefore we need to resolve it by providing `spring.cloud.function.definition` property pointing to the actual function we want to bind. Except here we will use `;` delimiter to point to both functions (see test case below). IMPORTANT: As with functions with multiple inputs/outputs, please refer to <<Binding and Binding names>> section to understand the naming convention used to establish _binding names_ used by such application. And you test it with the following code: [source,java]
@Test public void testMultipleFunctions() { try (ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder( TestChannelBinderConfiguration.getCompleteConfiguration( ReactiveFunctionConfiguration.class)) .run("--spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase;reverse")) {
InputDestination inputDestination = context.getBean(InputDestination.class); OutputDestination outputDestination = context.getBean(OutputDestination.class);
Message<byte[]> inputMessage = MessageBuilder.withPayload("Hello".getBytes()).build(); inputDestination.send(inputMessage, "uppercase-in-0"); inputDestination.send(inputMessage, "reverse-in-0");
Message<byte[]> outputMessage = outputDestination.receive(0, "uppercase-out-0"); assertThat(outputMessage.getPayload()).isEqualTo("HELLO".getBytes());
outputMessage = outputDestination.receive(0, "reverse-out-1"); assertThat(outputMessage.getPayload()).isEqualTo("olleH".getBytes()); } }
===== Batch Consumers When using a `MessageChannelBinder` that supports batch listeners, and the feature is enabled for the consumer binding, you can set `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<binding-name>.consumer.batch-mode` to `true` to enable the entire batch of messages to be passed to the function in a `List`. [source, java]
@Bean public Function<List<Person>, Person> findFirstPerson() { return persons → persons.get(0); }
===== Batch Producers You can also use the concept of batching on the producer side by returning a collection of Messages which effectively provides an inverse effect where each message in the collection will be sent individually by the binder. Consider the following function: [source, java]
@Bean public Function<String, List<Message<String>>> batch() { return p → { List<Message<String>> list = new ArrayList<>(); list.add(MessageBuilder.withPayload(p + ":1").build()); list.add(MessageBuilder.withPayload(p + ":2").build()); list.add(MessageBuilder.withPayload(p + ":3").build()); list.add(MessageBuilder.withPayload(p + ":4").build()); return list; }; }
Each message in the returned list will be sent individually resulting in four messages sent to output destination. ===== Spring Integration flow as functions When you implement a function, you may have complex requirements that fit the category of https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com[Enterprise Integration Patterns] (EIP). These are best handled by using a framework such as https://spring.io/projects/spring-integration[Spring Integration] (SI), which is a reference implementation of EIP. Thankfully SI already provides support for exposing integration flows as functions via https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/current/reference/html/#java-dsl-gateway[Integration flow as gateway] Consider the following sample: [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class FunctionSampleSpringIntegrationApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(FunctionSampleSpringIntegrationApplication.class, args); }
@Bean public IntegrationFlow uppercaseFlow() { return IntegrationFlows.from(MessageFunction.class, "uppercase") .<String, String>transform(String::toUpperCase) .logAndReply(LoggingHandler.Level.WARN); }
public interface MessageFunction extends Function<Message<String>, Message<String>> {
} }
For those who are familiar with SI you can see we define a bean of type `IntegrationFlow` where we declare an integration flow that we want to expose as a `Function<String, String>` (using SI DSL) called `uppercase`. The `MessageFunction` interface lets us explicitly declare the type of the inputs and outputs for proper type conversion. See <<Content Type Negotiation>> section for more on type conversion. To receive raw input you can use `from(Function.class, ...)`. The resulting function is bound to the input and output destinations exposed by the target binder. IMPORTANT: Please refer to <<Binding and Binding names>> section to understand the naming convention used to establish _binding names_ used by such application. For more details on interoperability of Spring Integration and Spring Cloud Stream specifically around functional programming model you may find https://spring.io/blog/2019/10/25/spring-cloud-stream-and-spring-integration[this post] very interesting, as it dives a bit deeper into various patterns you can apply by merging the best of Spring Integration and Spring Cloud Stream/Functions. [[spring-cloud-streams-overview-using-polled-consumers]] ==== Using Polled Consumers ===== Overview When using polled consumers, you poll the `PollableMessageSource` on demand. To define binding for polled consumer you need to provide `spring.cloud.stream.pollable-source` property. Consider the following example of a polled consumer binding: [source,text]
--spring.cloud.stream.pollable-source=myDestination
The pollable-source name `myDestination` in the preceding example will result in `myDestination-in-0` binding name to stay consistent with functional programming model. Given the polled consumer in the preceding example, you might use it as follows: [source,java]
@Bean public ApplicationRunner poller(PollableMessageSource destIn, MessageChannel destOut) { return args → { while (someCondition()) { try { if (!destIn.poll(m → { String newPayload = String) m.getPayload(.toUpperCase(); destOut.send(new GenericMessage<>(newPayload)); })) { Thread.sleep(1000); } } catch (Exception e) { // handle failure } } }; }
A less manual and more Spring-like alternative would be to configure a scheduled task bean. For example, [source,java]
@Scheduled(fixedDelay = 5_000) public void poll() { System.out.println("Polling…"); this.source.poll(m → { System.out.println(m.getPayload());
}, new ParameterizedTypeReference<Foo>() { }); }
The `PollableMessageSource.poll()` method takes a `MessageHandler` argument (often a lambda expression, as shown here). It returns `true` if the message was received and successfully processed. As with message-driven consumers, if the `MessageHandler` throws an exception, messages are published to error channels, as discussed in `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-error-handling>>`. Normally, the `poll()` method acknowledges the message when the `MessageHandler` exits. If the method exits abnormally, the message is rejected (not re-queued), but see <<polled-errors>>. You can override that behavior by taking responsibility for the acknowledgment, as shown in the following example: [source,java]
@Bean public ApplicationRunner poller(PollableMessageSource dest1In, MessageChannel dest2Out) { return args → { while (someCondition()) { if (!dest1In.poll(m → { StaticMessageHeaderAccessor.getAcknowledgmentCallback(m).noAutoAck(); // e.g. hand off to another thread which can perform the ack // or acknowledge(Status.REQUEUE)
})) { Thread.sleep(1000); } } }; }
IMPORTANT: You must `ack` (or `nack`) the message at some point, to avoid resource leaks. IMPORTANT: Some messaging systems (such as Apache Kafka) maintain a simple offset in a log. If a delivery fails and is re-queued with `StaticMessageHeaderAccessor.getAcknowledgmentCallback(m).acknowledge(Status.REQUEUE);`, any later successfully ack'd messages are redelivered. There is also an overloaded `poll` method, for which the definition is as follows: [source,java]
poll(MessageHandler handler, ParameterizedTypeReference<?> type)
The `type` is a conversion hint that allows the incoming message payload to be converted, as shown in the following example: [source,java]
boolean result = pollableSource.poll(received → { Map<String, Foo> payload = (Map<String, Foo>) received.getPayload(); …
}, new ParameterizedTypeReference<Map<String, Foo>>() {});
[[polled-errors]] ===== Handling Errors By default, an error channel is configured for the pollable source; if the callback throws an exception, an `ErrorMessage` is sent to the error channel (`<destination>.<group>.errors`); this error channel is also bridged to the global Spring Integration `errorChannel`. You can subscribe to either error channel with a `@ServiceActivator` to handle errors; without a subscription, the error will simply be logged and the message will be acknowledged as successful. If the error channel service activator throws an exception, the message will be rejected (by default) and won't be redelivered. If the service activator throws a `RequeueCurrentMessageException`, the message will be requeued at the broker and will be again retrieved on a subsequent poll. If the listener throws a `RequeueCurrentMessageException` directly, the message will be requeued, as discussed above, and will not be sent to the error channels. === Event Routing Event Routing, in the context of Spring Cloud Stream, is the ability to either _a) route events to a particular event subscriber_ or _b) route events produced by an event subscriber to a particular destination_. Here we'll refer to it as route ‘TO’ and route ‘FROM’. ==== Routing TO Consumer Routing can be achieved by relying on `RoutingFunction` available in Spring Cloud Function 3.0. All you need to do is enable it via `--spring.cloud.stream.function.routing.enabled=true` application property or provide `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` property. Once enabled `RoutingFunction` will be bound to input destination receiving all the messages and route them to other functions based on the provided instruction. IMPORTANT: For the purposes of binding the name of the routing destination is `functionRouter-in-0` (see RoutingFunction.FUNCTION_NAME and binding naming convention <<Functional binding names>>). Instruction could be provided with individual messages as well as application properties. Here are couple of samples: ===== Using message headers [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SampleApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(SampleApplication.class, "--spring.cloud.stream.function.routing.enabled=true"); }
@Bean public Consumer<String> even() { return value -> { System.out.println("EVEN: " + value); }; }
@Bean public Consumer<String> odd() { return value -> { System.out.println("ODD: " + value); }; } }
By sending a message to the `functionRouter-in-0` destination exposed by the binder (i.e., rabbit, kafka), such message will be routed to the appropriate (‘even’ or ‘odd’) Consumer. By default `RoutingFunction` will look for a `spring.cloud.function.definition` or `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` (for more dynamic scenarios with SpEL) header and if it is found, its value will be treated as the routing instruction. For example, setting `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` header to value `T(java.lang.System).currentTimeMillis() % 2 == 0 ? 'even' : 'odd'` will end up semi-randomly routing request to either `odd` or `even` functions. Also, for SpEL, the _root object_ of the evaluation context is `Message` so you can do evaluation on individual headers (or message) as well `....routing-expression=headers['type']` ===== Using application properties The `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression` and/or `spring.cloud.function.definition` can be passed as application properties (e.g., `spring.cloud.function.routing-expression=headers['type']`. [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class RoutingStreamApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(RoutingStreamApplication.class, "--spring.cloud.function.routing-expression=" + "T(java.lang.System).nanoTime() % 2 == 0 ? 'even' : 'odd'"); } @Bean public Consumer<Integer> even() { return value -> System.out.println("EVEN: " + value); }
@Bean public Consumer<Integer> odd() { return value -> System.out.println("ODD: " + value); } }
IMPORTANT: Passing instructions via application properties is especially important for reactive functions given that a reactive function is only invoked once to pass the Publisher, so access to the individual items is limited. ===== Routing Function and output binding `RoutingFunction` is a `Function` and as such treated no differently than any other function. Well. . . almost. When `RoutingFunction` routes to another `Function`, its output is sent to the output binding of the `RoutingFunction` which is `functionRouter-in-0` as expected. But what if `RoutingFunction` routes to a `Consumer`? In other words the result of invocation of the `RoutingFunction` may not produce anything to be sent to the output binding, thus making it necessary to even have one. So, we do treat `RoutingFunction` a little bit differently when we create bindings. And even though it is transparent to you as a user (there is really nothing for you to do), being aware of some of the mechanics would help you understand its inner workings. So, the rule is; We never create output binding for the `RoutingFunction`, only input. So when you routing to `Consumer`, the `RoutingFunction` effectively becomes as a `Consumer` by not having any output bindings. However, if `RoutingFunction` happen to route to another `Function` which produces the output, the output binding for the `RoutingFunction` will be create dynamically at which point `RoutingFunction` will act as a regular `Function` with regards to bindings (having both input and output bindings). ==== Routing FROM Consumer Aside from static destinations, Spring Cloud Stream lets applications send messages to dynamically bound destinations. This is useful, for example, when the target destination needs to be determined at runtime. Applications can do so in one of two ways. ===== BinderAwareChannelResolver The `BinderAwareChannelResolver` is a special bean registered automatically by the framework. You can autowire this bean into your application and use it to resolve output destination at runtime The 'spring.cloud.stream.dynamicDestinations' property can be used for restricting the dynamic destination names to a known set (that is, intentionally allowed values). If this property is not set, any destination can be bound dynamically. The following example demonstrates one of the common scenarios where REST controller uses a path variable to determine target destination: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class SourceWithDynamicDestination {
@Autowired private BinderAwareChannelResolver resolver;
@RequestMapping(value="/{target}") @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED) public void send(@RequestBody String body, @PathVariable("target") String target){ resolver.resolveDestination(target).send(new GenericMessage<String>(body)); } }
Now consider what happens when we start the application on the default port (8080) and make the following requests with CURL:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "customer-1" localhost:8080/customers
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "order-1" localhost:8080/orders
The destinations, 'customers' and 'orders', are created in the broker (in the exchange for Rabbit or in the topic for Kafka) with names of 'customers' and 'orders', and the data is published to the appropriate destinations. ===== spring.cloud.stream.sendto.destination You can also delegate to the framework to dynamically resolve the output destination by specifying `spring.cloud.stream.sendto.destination` header set to the name of the destination to be resolved. Consider the following example: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class SourceWithDynamicDestination {
@Bean public Function<String, Message<String>> destinationAsPayload() { return value -> { return MessageBuilder.withPayload(value) .setHeader("spring.cloud.stream.sendto.destination", value).build();}; } }
Albeit trivial you can clearly see in this example, our output is a Message with `spring.cloud.stream.sendto.destination` header set to the value of he input argument. The framework will consult this header and will attempt to create or discover a destination with that name and send output to it. If destination names are known in advance, you can configure the producer properties as with any other destination. Alternatively, if you register a `NewDestinationBindingCallback<>` bean, it is invoked just before the binding is created. The callback takes the generic type of the extended producer properties used by the binder. It has one method: [source, java]
void configure(String destinationName, MessageChannel channel, ProducerProperties producerProperties, T extendedProducerProperties);
The following example shows how to use the RabbitMQ binder: [source, java]
@Bean public NewDestinationBindingCallback<RabbitProducerProperties> dynamicConfigurer() { return (name, channel, props, extended) → { props.setRequiredGroups("bindThisQueue"); extended.setQueueNameGroupOnly(true); extended.setAutoBindDlq(true); extended.setDeadLetterQueueName("myDLQ"); }; }
NOTE: If you need to support dynamic destinations with multiple binder types, use `Object` for the generic type and cast the `extended` argument as needed. Also, please see <<Using StreamBridge>> section to see how yet another option (StreamBridge) can be utilized for similar cases. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-error-handling]] === Error Handling In this section we'll explain the general idea behind error handling mechanisms provided by the framework. We'll be using Rabbit binder as an example, since individual binders define different set of properties for certain supported mechanisms specific to underlying broker capabilities (such as Kafka binder). Errors happen, and Spring Cloud Stream provides several flexible mechanisms to deal with them. Note, the techniques are dependent on binder implementation and the capability of the underlying messaging middleware as well as programming model (more on this later). Whenever Message handler (function) throws an exception, it is propagated back to the binder, and the binder subsequently propagates the error back to the messaging system. The framework then will make several attempts at re-trying the same message (3 by default) using `RetryTemplate` provided by the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-retry[Spring Retry] library. After that, depending on the capabilities of the messaging system such system may _drop_ the message, _re-queue_ the message for re-processing or _send the failed message to DLQ_. Both Rabbit and Kafka support these concepts. However, other binders may not, so refer to your individual binder’s documentation for details on supported error-handling options. Keep in mind however, the _reactive function_ does NOT qualify as a Message handler, since it does not handle individual messages and instead provides a way to connect stream (i.e., Flux) provided by the framework with the one provided by the user. In other way of looking at it is - Message handler (i.e., imperative function) is invoked for each Message, while the reactive function is invoked only once during the initialization to connect two stream definitions at which point framework effectively hands off any and all control to the reactive API. Why is this important? That is because anything you read later in this section with regard to Retry Template, dropping failed messages, retrying, DLQ and configuration properties that assist with all of it ***only*** applies to Message handlers (i.e., imperative functions). Reactive API provides a very rich library of its own operators and mechanisms to assist you with error handling specific to variety of reactive uses cases which are far more complex then simple Message handler cases, So use them, such as `public final Flux<T> retryWhen(Retry retrySpec);` that you can find in `reactor.core.publisher.Flux`. [source,java]
@Bean public Function<Flux<String>, Flux<String>> uppercase() { return flux → flux .retryWhen(Retry.backoff(3, Duration.ofMillis(1000))) .map(v → v.toUpperCase()); }
==== Drop Failed Messages By default, if no additional system-level configuration is provided, the messaging system drops the failed message. While acceptable in some cases, for most cases, it is not, and we need some recovery mechanism to avoid message loss. ==== DLQ - Dead Letter Queue Perhaps the most common mechanism, DLQ allows failed messages to be sent to a special destination: the _Dead Letter Queue_. When configured, failed messages are sent to this destination for subsequent re-processing or auditing and reconciliation. Consider the following example: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public class SimpleStreamApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { SpringApplication.run(SimpleStreamApplication.class, "--spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase", "--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.destination=uppercase", "--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.group=myGroup", "--spring.cloud.stream.rabbit.bindings.uppercase-in-0.consumer.auto-bind-dlq=true" ); }
@Bean public Function<Person, Person> uppercase() { return personIn -> { throw new RuntimeException("intentional"); }); }; } }
As a reminder, in this example `uppercase-in-0` segment of the property corresponds to the name of the input destination binding. The `consumer` segment indicates that it is a consumer property. NOTE: When using DLQ, at least the `group` property must be provided for proper naming of the DLQ destination. However `group` is often used together with `destination` property, as in our example. Aside from some standard properties we also set the `auto-bind-dlq` to instruct the binder to create and configure DLQ destination for `uppercase-in-0` binding which corresponds to `uppercase` destination (see corresponding property), which results in an additional Rabbit queue named `uppercase.myGroup.dlq` (see Kafka documentation for Kafka specific DLQ properties). Once configured, all failed messages are routed to this destination preserving the original message for further actions. And you can see that the error message contains more information relevant to the original error, as follows: [source,text]
-
. . . x-exception-stacktrace: org.springframework.messaging.MessageHandlingException: nested exception is org.springframework.messaging.MessagingException: has an error, failedMessage=GenericMessage [payload=byte[15], headers={amqp_receivedDeliveryMode=NON_PERSISTENT, amqp_receivedRoutingKey=input.hello, amqp_deliveryTag=1, deliveryAttempt=3, amqp_consumerQueue=input.hello, amqp_redelivered=false, id=a15231e6-3f80-677b-5ad7-d4b1e61e486e, amqp_consumerTag=amq.ctag-skBFapilvtZhDsn0k3ZmQg, contentType=application/json, timestamp=1522327846136}] at org.spring…integ…han…MethodInvokingMessageProcessor.processMessage(MethodInvokingMessageProcessor.java:107) at. . . . . Payload: blah
You can also facilitate immediate dispatch to DLQ (without re-tries) by setting `max-attempts` to '1'. For example, [source,text]
--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.consumer.max-attempts=1
==== Retry Template In this section we cover configuration properties relevant to configuration of retry capabilities. The `RetryTemplate` is part of the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-retry[Spring Retry] library. While it is out of scope of this document to cover all of the capabilities of the `RetryTemplate`, we will mention the following consumer properties that are specifically related to the `RetryTemplate`: maxAttempts:: The number of attempts to process the message. + Default: 3. backOffInitialInterval:: The backoff initial interval on retry. + Default 1000 milliseconds. backOffMaxInterval:: The maximum backoff interval. + Default 10000 milliseconds. backOffMultiplier:: The backoff multiplier. + Default 2.0. defaultRetryable:: Whether exceptions thrown by the listener that are not listed in the `retryableExceptions` are retryable. + Default: `true`. retryableExceptions:: A map of Throwable class names in the key and a boolean in the value. Specify those exceptions (and subclasses) that will or won't be retried. Also see `defaultRetriable`. Example: `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.consumer.retryable-exceptions.java.lang.IllegalStateException=false`. + Default: empty. While the preceding settings are sufficient for the majority of the customization requirements, they may not satisfy certain complex requirements, at which point you may want to provide your own instance of the `RetryTemplate`. To do so configure it as a bean in your application configuration. The application provided instance will override the one provided by the framework. Also, to avoid conflicts you must qualify the instance of the `RetryTemplate` you want to be used by the binder as `@StreamRetryTemplate`. For example, [source,java]
@StreamRetryTemplate public RetryTemplate myRetryTemplate() { return new RetryTemplate(); }
As you can see from the above example you don't need to annotate it with `@Bean` since `@StreamRetryTemplate` is a qualified `@Bean`. If you need to be more precise with your `RetryTemplate`, you can specify the bean by name in your `ConsumerProperties` to associate the specific retry bean per binding. [source]
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<foo>.consumer.retry-template-name=<your-retry-template-bean-name>
[[spring-cloud-stream-overview-binders]] == Binders Spring Cloud Stream provides a Binder abstraction for use in connecting to physical destinations at the external middleware. This section provides information about the main concepts behind the Binder SPI, its main components, and implementation-specific details. === Producers and Consumers The following image shows the general relationship of producers and consumers: .Producers and Consumers image::{github-raw}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/producers-consumers.png[width=800,scaledwidth="75%",align="center"] A producer is any component that sends messages to a binding destination. The binding destination can be bound to an external message broker with a `Binder` implementation for that broker. When invoking the `bindProducer()` method, the first parameter is the name of the destination within the broker, the second parameter is the instance if local destination to which the producer sends messages, and the third parameter contains properties (such as a partition key expression) to be used within the adapter that is created for that binding destination. A consumer is any component that receives messages from the binding destination. As with a producer, the consumer can be bound to an external message broker. When invoking the `bindConsumer()` method, the first parameter is the destination name, and a second parameter provides the name of a logical group of consumers. Each group that is represented by consumer bindings for a given destination receives a copy of each message that a producer sends to that destination (that is, it follows normal publish-subscribe semantics). If there are multiple consumer instances bound with the same group name, then messages are load-balanced across those consumer instances so that each message sent by a producer is consumed by only a single consumer instance within each group (that is, it follows normal queueing semantics). [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-binder-api]] === Binder SPI The Binder SPI consists of a number of interfaces, out-of-the box utility classes, and discovery strategies that provide a pluggable mechanism for connecting to external middleware. The key point of the SPI is the `Binder` interface, which is a strategy for connecting inputs and outputs to external middleware. The following listing shows the definition of the `Binder` interface: [source,java]
public interface Binder<T, C extends ConsumerProperties, P extends ProducerProperties> { Binding<T> bindConsumer(String bindingName, String group, T inboundBindTarget, C consumerProperties);
Binding<T> bindProducer(String bindingName, T outboundBindTarget, P producerProperties); }
The interface is parameterized, offering a number of extension points: * Input and output bind targets. * Extended consumer and producer properties, allowing specific Binder implementations to add supplemental properties that can be supported in a type-safe manner. A typical binder implementation consists of the following: * A class that implements the `Binder` interface; * A Spring `@Configuration` class that creates a bean of type `Binder` along with the middleware connection infrastructure. * A `META-INF/spring.binders` file found on the classpath containing one or more binder definitions, as shown in the following example: + [source]
kafka:\ org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.kafka.config.KafkaBinderConfiguration
NOTE: As it was mentioned earlier Binder abstraction is also one of the extension points of the framework. So if you can't find a suitable binder in the preceding list you can implement your own binder on top of Spring Cloud Stream. In the https://medium.com/@domenicosibilio/how-to-create-a-spring-cloud-stream-binder-from-scratch-ab8b29ee931b[How to create a Spring Cloud Stream Binder from scratch] post a community member documents in details, with an example, a set of steps necessary to implement a custom binder. The steps are also highlighted in the `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-custom-binder-impl>>` section. === Binder Detection Spring Cloud Stream relies on implementations of the Binder SPI to perform the task of connecting (binding) user code to message brokers. Each Binder implementation typically connects to one type of messaging system. ==== Classpath Detection By default, Spring Cloud Stream relies on Spring Boot's auto-configuration to configure the binding process. If a single Binder implementation is found on the classpath, Spring Cloud Stream automatically uses it. For example, a Spring Cloud Stream project that aims to bind only to RabbitMQ can add the following dependency: [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-stream-binder-rabbit</artifactId> </dependency>
For the specific Maven coordinates of other binder dependencies, see the documentation of that binder implementation. [[multiple-binders]] === Multiple Binders on the Classpath When multiple binders are present on the classpath, the application must indicate which binder is to be used for each destination binding. Each binder configuration contains a `META-INF/spring.binders` file, which is a simple properties file, as shown in the following example: [source]
rabbit:\ org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.rabbit.config.RabbitServiceAutoConfiguration
Similar files exist for the other provided binder implementations (such as Kafka), and custom binder implementations are expected to provide them as well. The key represents an identifying name for the binder implementation, whereas the value is a comma-separated list of configuration classes that each contain one and only one bean definition of type `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.Binder`. Binder selection can either be performed globally, using the `spring.cloud.stream.defaultBinder` property (for example, `spring.cloud.stream.defaultBinder=rabbit`) or individually, by configuring the binder on each binding. For instance, a processor application (that has bindings named `input` and `output` for read and write respectively) that reads from Kafka and writes to RabbitMQ can specify the following configuration: [source]
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.binder=kafka spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.binder=rabbit
[[multiple-systems]] === Connecting to Multiple Systems By default, binders share the application's Spring Boot auto-configuration, so that one instance of each binder found on the classpath is created. If your application should connect to more than one broker of the same type, you can specify multiple binder configurations, each with different environment settings. NOTE: Turning on explicit binder configuration disables the default binder configuration process altogether. If you do so, all binders in use must be included in the configuration. Frameworks that intend to use Spring Cloud Stream transparently may create binder configurations that can be referenced by name, but they do not affect the default binder configuration. In order to do so, a binder configuration may have its `defaultCandidate` flag set to false (for example, `spring.cloud.stream.binders.<configurationName>.defaultCandidate=false`). This denotes a configuration that exists independently of the default binder configuration process. The following example shows a typical configuration for a processor application that connects to two RabbitMQ broker instances: [source,yml]
spring: cloud: stream: bindings: input: destination: thing1 binder: rabbit1 output: destination: thing2 binder: rabbit2 binders: rabbit1: type: rabbit environment: spring: rabbitmq: host: <host1> rabbit2: type: rabbit environment: spring: rabbitmq: host: <host2>
NOTE: The `environment` property of the particular binder can also be used for any Spring Boot property, including this `spring.main.sources` which can be useful for adding additional configurations for the particular binders, e.g. overriding auto-configured beans. For example; [source, yaml]
environment: spring: main: sources: com.acme.config.MyCustomBinderConfiguration
To activate a specific profile for the particular binder environment, you should use a `spring.profiles.active` property: [source, yaml]
environment: spring: profiles: active: myBinderProfile
[[binder-customizer]] === Customizing binders in multi binder applications When an application has multiple binders in it and wants to customize the binders, then that can be achieved by providing a `BinderCustomizer` implementation. In the case of applications with a single binder, this special customizer is not necessary since the binder context can access the customization beans directly. However, this is not the case in a multi-binder scenario, since various binders live in different application contexts. By providing an implementation of `BinderCustomizer` interface, the binders, although reside in different application contexts, will receive the customization. Spring Cloud Stream ensures that the customizations take place before the applications start using the binders. The user must check for the binder type and then apply the necessary customizations. Here is an example of providing a `BinderCustomizer` bean. [source, java]
@Bean public BinderCustomizer binderCustomizer() { return (binder, binderName) → { if (binder instanceof KafkaMessageChannelBinder) { ((KafkaMessageChannelBinder) binder).setRebalanceListener(…); } else if (binder instanceof KStreamBinder) { … } else if (binder instanceof RabbitMessageChannelBinder) { … } }; }
Note that, when there are more than one instance of the same type of the binder, the binder name can be used to filter customization. [[binding_visualization_control]] === Binding visualization and control Spring Cloud Stream supports visualization and control of the Bindings through Actuator endpoints as well as programmatic way. ==== Programmatic way Since version 3.1 we expose `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binding.BindingsLifecycleController` which is registered as bean and once injected could be used to control the lifecycle of individual bindings For example, looks at the fragment from one of the test cases. As you can see we retrieve `BindingsLifecycleController` from spring application context and execute individual methods to control the lifecycle of `echo-in-0` binding.. [source,java]
BindingsLifecycleController bindingsController = context.getBean(BindingsLifecycleController.class); Binding binding = bindingsController.queryState("echo-in-0"); assertThat(binding.isRunning()).isTrue(); bindingsController.changeState("echo-in-0", State.STOPPED); assertThat(binding.isRunning()).isFalse();
==== Actuator Since actuator and web are optional, you must first add one of the web dependencies as well as add the actuator dependency manually. The following example shows how to add the dependency for the Web framework: [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency>
The following example shows how to add the dependency for the WebFlux framework: [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId> </dependency>
You can add the Actuator dependency as follows: [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId> </dependency>
NOTE: To run Spring Cloud Stream 2.0 apps in Cloud Foundry, you must add `spring-boot-starter-web` and `spring-boot-starter-actuator` to the classpath. Otherwise, the application will not start due to health check failures. You must also enable the `bindings` actuator endpoints by setting the following property: `--management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=bindings`. Once those prerequisites are satisfied. you should see the following in the logs when application start: : Mapped "{[/actuator/bindings/{name}],methods=[POST]. . . : Mapped "{[/actuator/bindings],methods=[GET]. . . : Mapped "{[/actuator/bindings/{name}],methods=[GET]. . . To visualize the current bindings, access the following URL: `http://<host>:<port>/actuator/bindings` Alternative, to see a single binding, access one of the URLs similar to the following: `http://<host>:<port>/actuator/bindings/<bindingName>` You can also stop, start, pause, and resume individual bindings by posting to the same URL while providing a `state` argument as JSON, as shown in the following examples: curl -d '{"state":"STOPPED"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://<host>:<port>/actuator/bindings/myBindingName curl -d '{"state":"STARTED"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://<host>:<port>/actuator/bindings/myBindingName curl -d '{"state":"PAUSED"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://<host>:<port>/actuator/bindings/myBindingName curl -d '{"state":"RESUMED"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://<host>:<port>/actuator/bindings/myBindingName NOTE: `PAUSED` and `RESUMED` work only when the corresponding binder and its underlying technology supports it. Otherwise, you see the warning message in the logs. Currently, only Kafka binder supports the `PAUSED` and `RESUMED` states. === Binder Configuration Properties The following properties are available when customizing binder configurations. These properties exposed via `org.springframework.cloud.stream.config.BinderProperties` They must be prefixed with `spring.cloud.stream.binders.<configurationName>`. type:: The binder type. It typically references one of the binders found on the classpath -- in particular, a key in a `META-INF/spring.binders` file. + By default, it has the same value as the configuration name. inheritEnvironment:: Whether the configuration inherits the environment of the application itself. + Default: `true`. environment:: Root for a set of properties that can be used to customize the environment of the binder. When this property is set, the context in which the binder is being created is not a child of the application context. This setting allows for complete separation between the binder components and the application components. + Default: `empty`. defaultCandidate:: Whether the binder configuration is a candidate for being considered a default binder or can be used only when explicitly referenced. This setting allows adding binder configurations without interfering with the default processing. + Default: `true`. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-custom-binder-impl]] === Implementing Custom Binders In order to implement a custom `Binder`, all you need is to: - Add the required dependencies - Provide a ProvisioningProvider implementation - Provide a MessageProducer implementation - Provide a MessageHandler implementation - Provide a Binder implementation - Create a Binder Configuration - Define your binder in META-INF/spring.binders ***Add the required dependencies*** Add the `spring-cloud-stream` dependency to your project _(eg. for Maven)_: [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-stream</artifactId> <version>${spring.cloud.stream.version}</version> </dependency>
***Provide a ProvisioningProvider implementation*** The `ProvisioningProvider` is responsible for the provisioning of consumer and producer destinations, and is required to convert the logical destinations included in the application.yml or application.properties file in physical destination references. Below an example of ProvisioningProvider implementation that simply trims the destinations provided via input/output bindings configuration: [source,java]
public class FileMessageBinderProvisioner implements ProvisioningProvider<ConsumerProperties, ProducerProperties> {
@Override public ProducerDestination provisionProducerDestination( final String name, final ProducerProperties properties) {
return new FileMessageDestination(name); }
@Override public ConsumerDestination provisionConsumerDestination( final String name, final String group, final ConsumerProperties properties) {
return new FileMessageDestination(name); }
private class FileMessageDestination implements ProducerDestination, ConsumerDestination {
private final String destination;
private FileMessageDestination(final String destination) { this.destination = destination; }
@Override public String getName() { return destination.trim(); }
@Override public String getNameForPartition(int partition) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Partitioning is not implemented for file messaging."); }
}
}
***Provide a MessageProducer implementation*** The `MessageProducer` is responsible for consuming events and handling them as messages to the client application that is configured to consume such events. Here is an example of MessageProducer implementation that extends the `MessageProducerSupport` abstraction in order to poll on a file that matches the trimmed destination name and is located in the project path, while also archiving read messages and discarding consequent identical messages: [source,java]
public class FileMessageProducer extends MessageProducerSupport {
public static final String ARCHIVE = "archive.txt"; private final ConsumerDestination destination; private String previousPayload;
public FileMessageProducer(ConsumerDestination destination) { this.destination = destination; }
@Override public void doStart() { receive(); }
private void receive() { ScheduledExecutorService executorService = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
executorService.scheduleWithFixedDelay(() -> { String payload = getPayload();
if(payload != null) { Message<String> receivedMessage = MessageBuilder.withPayload(payload).build(); archiveMessage(payload); sendMessage(receivedMessage); }
}, 0, 50, MILLISECONDS); }
private String getPayload() { try { List<String> allLines = Files.readAllLines(Paths.get(destination.getName())); String currentPayload = allLines.get(allLines.size() - 1);
if(!currentPayload.equals(previousPayload)) { previousPayload = currentPayload; return currentPayload; } } catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); }
return null; }
private void archiveMessage(String payload) { try { Files.write(Paths.get(ARCHIVE), (payload + "\n").getBytes(), CREATE, APPEND); } catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } }
}
NOTE: When implementing a custom binder, this step is not strictly mandatory as you could always resort to using an already existing MessageProducer implementation! ***Provide a MessageHandler implementation*** The `MessageHandler` provides the logic required to produce an event. Here is an example of MessageHandler implementation: [source,java]
public class FileMessageHandler implements MessageHandler{
@Override public void handleMessage(Message<?> message) throws MessagingException { //write message to file }
}
NOTE: When implementing a custom binder, this step is not strictly mandatory as you could always resort to using an already existing MessageHandler implementation! ***Provide a Binder implementation*** You are now able to provide your own implementation of the `Binder` abstraction. This can be easily done by: - extending the `AbstractMessageChannelBinder` class - specifying your ProvisioningProvider as a generic argument of the AbstractMessageChannelBinder - overriding the `createProducerMessageHandler` and `createConsumerEndpoint` methods _eg.:_ [source,java]
public class FileMessageBinder extends AbstractMessageChannelBinder<ConsumerProperties, ProducerProperties, FileMessageBinderProvisioner> {
public FileMessageBinder( String[] headersToEmbed, FileMessageBinderProvisioner provisioningProvider) {
super(headersToEmbed, provisioningProvider); }
@Override protected MessageHandler createProducerMessageHandler( final ProducerDestination destination, final ProducerProperties producerProperties, final MessageChannel errorChannel) throws Exception {
return message -> { String fileName = destination.getName(); String payload = new String((byte[])message.getPayload()) + "\n";
try { Files.write(Paths.get(fileName), payload.getBytes(), CREATE, APPEND); } catch (IOException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } }; }
@Override protected MessageProducer createConsumerEndpoint( final ConsumerDestination destination, final String group, final ConsumerProperties properties) throws Exception {
return new FileMessageProducer(destination); }
}
***Create a Binder Configuration*** It is strictly required that you create a Spring Configuration to initialize the bean for your binder implementation _(and all other beans that you might need)_: [source,java]
@Configuration public class FileMessageBinderConfiguration {
@Bean @ConditionalOnMissingBean public FileMessageBinderProvisioner fileMessageBinderProvisioner() { return new FileMessageBinderProvisioner(); }
@Bean @ConditionalOnMissingBean public FileMessageBinder fileMessageBinder(FileMessageBinderProvisioner fileMessageBinderProvisioner) { return new FileMessageBinder(null, fileMessageBinderProvisioner); }
}
***Define your binder in META-INF/spring.binders*** Finally, you must define your binder in a `META-INF/spring.binders` file on the classpath, specifying both the name of the binder and the full qualified name of your Binder Configuration class: [source]
myFileBinder:\ com.example.springcloudstreamcustombinder.config.FileMessageBinderConfiguration
== Configuration Options Spring Cloud Stream supports general configuration options as well as configuration for bindings and binders. Some binders let additional binding properties support middleware-specific features. Configuration options can be provided to Spring Cloud Stream applications through any mechanism supported by Spring Boot. This includes application arguments, environment variables, and YAML or .properties files. === Binding Service Properties These properties are exposed via `org.springframework.cloud.stream.config.BindingServiceProperties` spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount:: The number of deployed instances of an application. Must be set for partitioning on the producer side. Must be set on the consumer side when using RabbitMQ and with Kafka if `autoRebalanceEnabled=false`. + Default: `1`. spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex:: The instance index of the application: A number from `0` to `instanceCount - 1`. Used for partitioning with RabbitMQ and with Kafka if `autoRebalanceEnabled=false`. Automatically set in Cloud Foundry to match the application's instance index. spring.cloud.stream.dynamicDestinations:: A list of destinations that can be bound dynamically (for example, in a dynamic routing scenario). If set, only listed destinations can be bound. + Default: empty (letting any destination be bound). spring.cloud.stream.defaultBinder:: The default binder to use, if multiple binders are configured. See <<multiple-binders,Multiple Binders on the Classpath>>. + Default: empty. spring.cloud.stream.overrideCloudConnectors:: This property is only applicable when the `cloud` profile is active and Spring Cloud Connectors are provided with the application. If the property is `false` (the default), the binder detects a suitable bound service (for example, a RabbitMQ service bound in Cloud Foundry for the RabbitMQ binder) and uses it for creating connections (usually through Spring Cloud Connectors). When set to `true`, this property instructs binders to completely ignore the bound services and rely on Spring Boot properties (for example, relying on the `spring.rabbitmq.*` properties provided in the environment for the RabbitMQ binder). The typical usage of this property is to be nested in a customized environment <<multiple-systems, when connecting to multiple systems>>. + Default: `false`. spring.cloud.stream.bindingRetryInterval:: The interval (in seconds) between retrying binding creation when, for example, the binder does not support late binding and the broker (for example, Apache Kafka) is down. Set it to zero to treat such conditions as fatal, preventing the application from starting. + Default: `30` [[binding-properties]] === Binding Properties Binding properties are supplied by using the format of `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<bindingName>.<property>=<value>`. The `<bindingName>` represents the name of the binding being configured. For example, for the following function [source,java]
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return v → v.toUpperCase(); }
there are two bindings named `uppercase-in-0` for input and `uppercase-out-0` for output. See <<Binding and Binding names>> for more details. To avoid repetition, Spring Cloud Stream supports setting values for all bindings, in the format of `spring.cloud.stream.default.<property>=<value>` and `spring.cloud.stream.default.<producer|consumer>.<property>=<value>` for common binding properties. When it comes to avoiding repetitions for extended binding properties, this format should be used - `spring.cloud.stream.<binder-type>.default.<producer|consumer>.<property>=<value>`. ==== Common Binding Properties These properties are exposed via `org.springframework.cloud.stream.config.BindingProperties` The following binding properties are available for both input and output bindings and must be prefixed with `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<bindingName>.` (for example, `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.destination=ticktock`). Default values can be set by using the `spring.cloud.stream.default` prefix (for example`spring.cloud.stream.default.contentType=application/json`). destination:: The target destination of a binding on the bound middleware (for example, the RabbitMQ exchange or Kafka topic). If binding represents a consumer binding (input), it could be bound to multiple destinations, and the destination names can be specified as comma-separated `String` values. If not, the actual binding name is used instead. The default value of this property cannot be overridden. group:: The consumer group of the binding. Applies only to inbound bindings. See <<consumer-groups,Consumer Groups>>. + Default: `null` (indicating an anonymous consumer). contentType:: The content type of this binding. See `<<content-type-management>>`. + Default: `application/json`. binder:: The binder used by this binding. See `<<multiple-binders>>` for details. + Default: `null` (the default binder is used, if it exists). ==== Consumer Properties These properties are exposed via `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.ConsumerProperties` The following binding properties are available for input bindings only and must be prefixed with `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<bindingName>.consumer.` (for example, `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.consumer.concurrency=3`). Default values can be set by using the `spring.cloud.stream.default.consumer` prefix (for example, `spring.cloud.stream.default.consumer.headerMode=none`). autoStartup:: Signals if this consumer needs to be started automatically + Default: `true`. concurrency:: The concurrency of the inbound consumer. + Default: `1`. partitioned:: Whether the consumer receives data from a partitioned producer. + Default: `false`. headerMode:: When set to `none`, disables header parsing on input. Effective only for messaging middleware that does not support message headers natively and requires header embedding. This option is useful when consuming data from non-Spring Cloud Stream applications when native headers are not supported. When set to `headers`, it uses the middleware's native header mechanism. When set to `embeddedHeaders`, it embeds headers into the message payload. + Default: depends on the binder implementation. maxAttempts:: If processing fails, the number of attempts to process the message (including the first). Set to `1` to disable retry. + Default: `3`. backOffInitialInterval:: The backoff initial interval on retry. + Default: `1000`. backOffMaxInterval:: The maximum backoff interval. + Default: `10000`. backOffMultiplier:: The backoff multiplier. + Default: `2.0`. defaultRetryable:: Whether exceptions thrown by the listener that are not listed in the `retryableExceptions` are retryable. + Default: `true`. instanceCount:: When set to a value greater than equal to zero, it allows customizing the instance count of this consumer (if different from `spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount`). When set to a negative value, it defaults to `spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount`. See `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-instance-index-instance-count>>` for more information. + Default: `-1`. instanceIndex:: When set to a value greater than equal to zero, it allows customizing the instance index of this consumer (if different from `spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex`). When set to a negative value, it defaults to `spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex`. Ignored if `instanceIndexList` is provided. See `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-instance-index-instance-count>>` for more information. + Default: `-1`. instanceIndexList:: Used with binders that do not support native partitioning (such as RabbitMQ); allows an application instance to consume from more than one partition. + Default: empty. retryableExceptions:: A map of Throwable class names in the key and a boolean in the value. Specify those exceptions (and subclasses) that will or won't be retried. Also see `defaultRetriable`. Example: `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.consumer.retryable-exceptions.java.lang.IllegalStateException=false`. + Default: empty. useNativeDecoding:: When set to `true`, the inbound message is deserialized directly by the client library, which must be configured correspondingly (for example, setting an appropriate Kafka producer value deserializer). When this configuration is being used, the inbound message unmarshalling is not based on the `contentType` of the binding. When native decoding is used, it is the responsibility of the producer to use an appropriate encoder (for example, the Kafka producer value serializer) to serialize the outbound message. Also, when native encoding and decoding is used, the `headerMode=embeddedHeaders` property is ignored and headers are not embedded in the message. See the producer property `useNativeEncoding`. + Default: `false`. multiplex:: When set to true, the underlying binder will natively multiplex destinations on the same input binding. + Default: `false`. ==== Advanced Consumer Configuration For advanced configuration of the underlying message listener container for message-driven consumers, add a single `ListenerContainerCustomizer` bean to the application context. It will be invoked after the above properties have been applied and can be used to set additional properties. Similarly, for polled consumers, add a `MessageSourceCustomizer` bean. The following is an example for the RabbitMQ binder: ==== [source, java]
@Bean public ListenerContainerCustomizer<AbstractMessageListenerContainer> containerCustomizer() { return (container, dest, group) → container.setAdviceChain(advice1, advice2); }
@Bean public MessageSourceCustomizer<AmqpMessageSource> sourceCustomizer() { return (source, dest, group) → source.setPropertiesConverter(customPropertiesConverter); }
==== ==== Producer Properties These properties are exposed via `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.ProducerProperties` The following binding properties are available for output bindings only and must be prefixed with `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<bindingName>.producer.` (for example, `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.func-out-0.producer.partitionKeyExpression=payload.id`). Default values can be set by using the prefix `spring.cloud.stream.default.producer` (for example, `spring.cloud.stream.default.producer.partitionKeyExpression=payload.id`). autoStartup:: Signals if this consumer needs to be started automatically + Default: `true`. partitionKeyExpression:: A SpEL expression that determines how to partition outbound data. If set, outbound data on this binding is partitioned. `partitionCount` must be set to a value greater than 1 to be effective. See `<<partitioning>>`. + Default: null. partitionKeyExtractorName:: The name of the bean that implements `PartitionKeyExtractorStrategy`. Used to extract a key used to compute the partition id (see 'partitionSelector*'). Mutually exclusive with 'partitionKeyExpression'. + Default: null. partitionSelectorName:: The name of the bean that implements `PartitionSelectorStrategy`. Used to determine partition id based on partition key (see 'partitionKeyExtractor*'). Mutually exclusive with 'partitionSelectorExpression'. + Default: null. partitionSelectorExpression:: A SpEL expression for customizing partition selection. If neither is set, the partition is selected as the `hashCode(key) % partitionCount`, where `key` is computed through either `partitionKeyExpression`. + Default: `null`. partitionCount:: The number of target partitions for the data, if partitioning is enabled. Must be set to a value greater than 1 if the producer is partitioned. On Kafka, it is interpreted as a hint. The larger of this and the partition count of the target topic is used instead. + Default: `1`. requiredGroups:: A comma-separated list of groups to which the producer must ensure message delivery even if they start after it has been created (for example, by pre-creating durable queues in RabbitMQ). headerMode:: When set to `none`, it disables header embedding on output. It is effective only for messaging middleware that does not support message headers natively and requires header embedding. This option is useful when producing data for non-Spring Cloud Stream applications when native headers are not supported. When set to `headers`, it uses the middleware's native header mechanism. When set to `embeddedHeaders`, it embeds headers into the message payload. + Default: Depends on the binder implementation. useNativeEncoding:: When set to `true`, the outbound message is serialized directly by the client library, which must be configured correspondingly (for example, setting an appropriate Kafka producer value serializer). When this configuration is being used, the outbound message marshalling is not based on the `contentType` of the binding. When native encoding is used, it is the responsibility of the consumer to use an appropriate decoder (for example, the Kafka consumer value de-serializer) to deserialize the inbound message. Also, when native encoding and decoding is used, the `headerMode=embeddedHeaders` property is ignored and headers are not embedded in the message. See the consumer property `useNativeDecoding`. + Default: `false`. errorChannelEnabled:: When set to true, if the binder supports asynchroous send results, send failures are sent to an error channel for the destination. See Error Handling for more information. + Default: false. ==== Advanced Producer Configuration In some cases Producer Properties are not enough to properly configure a producing MessageHandler in the binder, or may be you prefer a programmatic approach while configuring such producing MessageHandler. Regardless of the reason, spring-cloud-stream provides `ProducerMessageHandlerCustomizer` to accomplish it. ==== [source, java]
@FunctionalInterface public interface ProducerMessageHandlerCustomizer<H extends MessageHandler> {
/** * Configure a {@link MessageHandler} that is being created by the binder for the * provided destination name. * @param handler the {@link MessageHandler} from the binder. * @param destinationName the bound destination name. */ void configure(H handler, String destinationName);
}
As you can see it gives you access to an actual instance of producing` MessageHandler` which you can configure as you wish. All you need to do is provide implementation of this strategy and configure it as a `@Bean`. ==== [[content-type-management]] == Content Type Negotiation Data transformation is one of the core features of any message-driven microservice architecture. Given that, in Spring Cloud Stream, such data is represented as a Spring `Message`, a message may have to be transformed to a desired shape or size before reaching its destination. This is required for two reasons: . To convert the contents of the incoming message to match the signature of the application-provided handler. . To convert the contents of the outgoing message to the wire format. The wire format is typically `byte[]` (that is true for the Kafka and Rabbit binders), but it is governed by the binder implementation. In Spring Cloud Stream, message transformation is accomplished with an `org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter`. NOTE: As a supplement to the details to follow, you may also want to read the following https://spring.io/blog/2018/02/26/spring-cloud-stream-2-0-content-type-negotiation-and-transformation[blog post]. === Mechanics To better understand the mechanics and the necessity behind content-type negotiation, we take a look at a very simple use case by using the following message handler as an example: [source, java]
public Function<Person, Person> personFunction {..}
NOTE: For simplicity, we assume that this is the only handler function in the application (we assume there is no internal pipeline). The handler shown in the preceding example expects a `Person` object as an argument and produces a `String` type as an output. In order for the framework to succeed in passing the incoming `Message` as an argument to this handler, it has to somehow transform the payload of the `Message` type from the wire format to a `Person` type. In other words, the framework must locate and apply the appropriate `MessageConverter`. To accomplish that, the framework needs some instructions from the user. One of these instructions is already provided by the signature of the handler method itself (`Person` type). Consequently, in theory, that should be (and, in some cases, is) enough. However, for the majority of use cases, in order to select the appropriate `MessageConverter`, the framework needs an additional piece of information. That missing piece is `contentType`. Spring Cloud Stream provides three mechanisms to define `contentType` (in order of precedence): . *HEADER*: The `contentType` can be communicated through the Message itself. By providing a `contentType` header, you declare the content type to use to locate and apply the appropriate `MessageConverter`. . *BINDING*: The `contentType` can be set per destination binding by setting the `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.content-type` property. + NOTE: The `input` segment in the property name corresponds to the actual name of the destination (which is “input” in our case). This approach lets you declare, on a per-binding basis, the content type to use to locate and apply the appropriate `MessageConverter`. . *DEFAULT*: If `contentType` is not present in the `Message` header or the binding, the default `application/json` content type is used to locate and apply the appropriate `MessageConverter`. As mentioned earlier, the preceding list also demonstrates the order of precedence in case of a tie. For example, a header-provided content type takes precedence over any other content type. The same applies for a content type set on a per-binding basis, which essentially lets you override the default content type. However, it also provides a sensible default (which was determined from community feedback). Another reason for making `application/json` the default stems from the interoperability requirements driven by distributed microservices architectures, where producer and consumer not only run in different JVMs but can also run on different non-JVM platforms. When the non-void handler method returns, if the return value is already a `Message`, that `Message` becomes the payload. However, when the return value is not a `Message`, the new `Message` is constructed with the return value as the payload while inheriting headers from the input `Message` minus the headers defined or filtered by `SpringIntegrationProperties.messageHandlerNotPropagatedHeaders`. By default, there is only one header set there: `contentType`. This means that the new `Message` does not have `contentType` header set, thus ensuring that the `contentType` can evolve. You can always opt out of returning a `Message` from the handler method where you can inject any header you wish. If there is an internal pipeline, the `Message` is sent to the next handler by going through the same process of conversion. However, if there is no internal pipeline or you have reached the end of it, the `Message` is sent back to the output destination. ==== Content Type versus Argument Type As mentioned earlier, for the framework to select the appropriate `MessageConverter`, it requires argument type and, optionally, content type information. The logic for selecting the appropriate `MessageConverter` resides with the argument resolvers (`HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers`), which trigger right before the invocation of the user-defined handler method (which is when the actual argument type is known to the framework). If the argument type does not match the type of the current payload, the framework delegates to the stack of the pre-configured `MessageConverters` to see if any one of them can convert the payload. As you can see, the `Object fromMessage(Message<?> message, Class<?> targetClass);` operation of the MessageConverter takes `targetClass` as one of its arguments. The framework also ensures that the provided `Message` always contains a `contentType` header. When no contentType header was already present, it injects either the per-binding `contentType` header or the default `contentType` header. The combination of `contentType` argument type is the mechanism by which framework determines if message can be converted to a target type. If no appropriate `MessageConverter` is found, an exception is thrown, which you can handle by adding a custom `MessageConverter` (see `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-user-defined-message-converters>>`). But what if the payload type matches the target type declared by the handler method? In this case, there is nothing to convert, and the payload is passed unmodified. While this sounds pretty straightforward and logical, keep in mind handler methods that take a `Message<?>` or `Object` as an argument. By declaring the target type to be `Object` (which is an `instanceof` everything in Java), you essentially forfeit the conversion process. NOTE: Do not expect `Message` to be converted into some other type based only on the `contentType`. Remember that the `contentType` is complementary to the target type. If you wish, you can provide a hint, which `MessageConverter` may or may not take into consideration. ==== Message Converters `MessageConverters` define two methods: [source, java]
Object fromMessage(Message<?> message, Class<?> targetClass);
Message<?> toMessage(Object payload, @Nullable MessageHeaders headers);
It is important to understand the contract of these methods and their usage, specifically in the context of Spring Cloud Stream. The `fromMessage` method converts an incoming `Message` to an argument type. The payload of the `Message` could be any type, and it is up to the actual implementation of the `MessageConverter` to support multiple types. For example, some JSON converter may support the payload type as `byte[]`, `String`, and others. This is important when the application contains an internal pipeline (that is, input -> handler1 -> handler2 ->. . . -> output) and the output of the upstream handler results in a `Message` which may not be in the initial wire format. However, the `toMessage` method has a more strict contract and must always convert `Message` to the wire format: `byte[]`. So, for all intents and purposes (and especially when implementing your own converter) you regard the two methods as having the following signatures: [source, java]
Object fromMessage(Message<?> message, Class<?> targetClass);
Message<byte[]> toMessage(Object payload, @Nullable MessageHeaders headers);
=== Provided MessageConverters As mentioned earlier, the framework already provides a stack of `MessageConverters` to handle most common use cases. The following list describes the provided `MessageConverters`, in order of precedence (the first `MessageConverter` that works is used): . `ApplicationJsonMessageMarshallingConverter`: Variation of the `org.springframework.messaging.converter.MappingJackson2MessageConverter`. Supports conversion of the payload of the `Message` to/from POJO for cases when `contentType` is `application/json` (DEFAULT). . `ByteArrayMessageConverter`: Supports conversion of the payload of the `Message` from `byte[]` to `byte[]` for cases when `contentType` is `application/octet-stream`. It is essentially a pass through and exists primarily for backward compatibility. . `ObjectStringMessageConverter`: Supports conversion of any type to a `String` when `contentType` is `text/plain`. It invokes Object’s `toString()` method or, if the payload is `byte[]`, a new `String(byte[])`. . `JsonUnmarshallingConverter`: Similar to the `ApplicationJsonMessageMarshallingConverter`. It supports conversion of any type when `contentType` is `application/x-java-object`. It expects the actual type information to be embedded in the `contentType` as an attribute (for example, `application/x-java-object;type=foo.bar.Cat`). When no appropriate converter is found, the framework throws an exception. When that happens, you should check your code and configuration and ensure you did not miss anything (that is, ensure that you provided a `contentType` by using a binding or a header). However, most likely, you found some uncommon case (such as a custom `contentType` perhaps) and the current stack of provided `MessageConverters` does not know how to convert. If that is the case, you can add custom `MessageConverter`. See <<spring-cloud-stream-overview-user-defined-message-converters>>. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-user-defined-message-converters]] === User-defined Message Converters Spring Cloud Stream exposes a mechanism to define and register additional `MessageConverters`. To use it, implement `org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter`, configure it as a `@Bean`. It is then appended to the existing stack of `MessageConverter`s. NOTE: It is important to understand that custom `MessageConverter` implementations are added to the head of the existing stack. Consequently, custom `MessageConverter` implementations take precedence over the existing ones, which lets you override as well as add to the existing converters. The following example shows how to create a message converter bean to support a new content type called `application/bar`: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication public static class SinkApplication {
...
@Bean public MessageConverter customMessageConverter() { return new MyCustomMessageConverter(); } }
public class MyCustomMessageConverter extends AbstractMessageConverter {
public MyCustomMessageConverter() { super(new MimeType("application", "bar")); }
@Override protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz) { return (Bar.class.equals(clazz)); }
@Override protected Object convertFromInternal(Message<?> message, Class<?> targetClass, Object conversionHint) { Object payload = message.getPayload(); return (payload instanceof Bar ? payload : new Bar((byte[]) payload)); } }
Spring Cloud Stream also provides support for Avro-based converters and schema evolution. See `<<schema-evolution>>` for details. [ == Inter-Application Communication Spring Cloud Stream enables communication between applications. Inter-application communication is a complex issue spanning several concerns, as described in the following topics: * `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-connecting-multiple-application-instances>>` * `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-instance-index-instance-count>>` * `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-partitioning>>` [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-connecting-multiple-application-instances]] === Connecting Multiple Application Instances While Spring Cloud Stream makes it easy for individual Spring Boot applications to connect to messaging systems, the typical scenario for Spring Cloud Stream is the creation of multi-application pipelines, where microservice applications send data to each other. You can achieve this scenario by correlating the input and output destinations of "`adjacent`" applications. Suppose a design calls for the Time Source application to send data to the Log Sink application. You could use a common destination named `ticktock` for bindings within both applications. Time Source (that has the binding named `output`) would set the following property:
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.destination=ticktock
Log Sink (that has the binding named `input`) would set the following property:
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=ticktock
[[spring-cloud-stream-overview-instance-index-instance-count]] === Instance Index and Instance Count When scaling up Spring Cloud Stream applications, each instance can receive information about how many other instances of the same application exist and what its own instance index is. Spring Cloud Stream does this through the `spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount` and `spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex` properties. For example, if there are three instances of a HDFS sink application, all three instances have `spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount` set to `3`, and the individual applications have `spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex` set to `0`, `1`, and `2`, respectively. When Spring Cloud Stream applications are deployed through Spring Cloud Data Flow, these properties are configured automatically; when Spring Cloud Stream applications are launched independently, these properties must be set correctly. By default, `spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount` is `1`, and `spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex` is `0`. In a scaled-up scenario, correct configuration of these two properties is important for addressing partitioning behavior (see below) in general, and the two properties are always required by certain binders (for example, the Kafka binder) in order to ensure that data are split correctly across multiple consumer instances. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-partitioning]] === Partitioning Partitioning in Spring Cloud Stream consists of two tasks: * `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-configuring-output-bindings-partitioning>>` * `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-configuring-input-bindings-partitioning>>` [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-configuring-output-bindings-partitioning]] ==== Configuring Output Bindings for Partitioning You can configure an output binding to send partitioned data by setting one and only one of its `partitionKeyExpression` or `partitionKeyExtractorName` properties, as well as its `partitionCount` property. For example, the following is a valid and typical configuration:
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.func-out-0.producer.partitionKeyExpression=payload.id spring.cloud.stream.bindings.func-out-0.producer.partitionCount=5
Based on that example configuration, data is sent to the target partition by using the following logic. A partition key's value is calculated for each message sent to a partitioned output binding based on the `partitionKeyExpression`. The `partitionKeyExpression` is a SpEL expression that is evaluated against the outbound message for extracting the partitioning key. If a SpEL expression is not sufficient for your needs, you can instead calculate the partition key value by providing an implementation of `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.PartitionKeyExtractorStrategy` and configuring it as a bean (by using the `@Bean` annotation). If you have more then one bean of type `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.PartitionKeyExtractorStrategy` available in the Application Context, you can further filter it by specifying its name with the `partitionKeyExtractorName` property, as shown in the following example: [source]
--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.func-out-0.producer.partitionKeyExtractorName=customPartitionKeyExtractor --spring.cloud.stream.bindings.func-out-0.producer.partitionCount=5 . . . @Bean public CustomPartitionKeyExtractorClass customPartitionKeyExtractor() { return new CustomPartitionKeyExtractorClass(); }
NOTE: In previous versions of Spring Cloud Stream, you could specify the implementation of `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.PartitionKeyExtractorStrategy` by setting the `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.producer.partitionKeyExtractorClass` property. Since version 3.0, this property is removed. Once the message key is calculated, the partition selection process determines the target partition as a value between `0` and `partitionCount - 1`. The default calculation, applicable in most scenarios, is based on the following formula: `key.hashCode() % partitionCount`. This can be customized on the binding, either by setting a SpEL expression to be evaluated against the 'key' (through the `partitionSelectorExpression` property) or by configuring an implementation of `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.PartitionSelectorStrategy` as a bean (by using the @Bean annotation). Similar to the `PartitionKeyExtractorStrategy`, you can further filter it by using the `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.producer.partitionSelectorName` property when more than one bean of this type is available in the Application Context, as shown in the following example: [source]
--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.func-out-0.producer.partitionSelectorName=customPartitionSelector . . . @Bean public CustomPartitionSelectorClass customPartitionSelector() { return new CustomPartitionSelectorClass(); }
NOTE: In previous versions of Spring Cloud Stream you could specify the implementation of `org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.PartitionSelectorStrategy` by setting the `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.producer.partitionSelectorClass` property. Since version 3.0, this property is removed. [[spring-cloud-stream-overview-configuring-input-bindings-partitioning]] ==== Configuring Input Bindings for Partitioning An input binding (with the binding name `uppercase-in-0`) is configured to receive partitioned data by setting its `partitioned` property, as well as the `instanceIndex` and `instanceCount` properties on the application itself, as shown in the following example:
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.consumer.partitioned=true spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex=3 spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount=5
The `instanceCount` value represents the total number of application instances between which the data should be partitioned. The `instanceIndex` must be a unique value across the multiple instances, with a value between `0` and `instanceCount - 1`. The instance index helps each application instance to identify the unique partition(s) from which it receives data. It is required by binders using technology that does not support partitioning natively. For example, with RabbitMQ, there is a queue for each partition, with the queue name containing the instance index. With Kafka, if `autoRebalanceEnabled` is `true` (default), Kafka takes care of distributing partitions across instances, and these properties are not required. If `autoRebalanceEnabled` is set to false, the `instanceCount` and `instanceIndex` are used by the binder to determine which partition(s) the instance subscribes to (you must have at least as many partitions as there are instances). The binder allocates the partitions instead of Kafka. This might be useful if you want messages for a particular partition to always go to the same instance. When a binder configuration requires them, it is important to set both values correctly in order to ensure that all of the data is consumed and that the application instances receive mutually exclusive datasets. While a scenario in which using multiple instances for partitioned data processing may be complex to set up in a standalone case, Spring Cloud Dataflow can simplify the process significantly by populating both the input and output values correctly and by letting you rely on the runtime infrastructure to provide information about the instance index and instance count. == Testing Spring Cloud Stream provides support for testing your microservice applications without connecting to a messaging system. [[spring_integration_test_binder]] === Spring Integration Test Binder The old test binder defined in `spring-cloud-stream-test-support` module was specifically designed to facilitate _unit testing_ of the actual messaging components and thus bypasses some of the core functionality of the binder API. While such light-weight approach is sufficient for a lot of cases, it usually requires additional _integration testing_ with real binders (e.g., Rabbit, Kafka etc). So we are effectively deprecating it. To begin bridging the gap between _unit_ and _integration_ testing we've developed a new test binder which uses https://spring.io/projects/spring-integration[Spring Integration] framework as an in-JVM Message Broker essentially giving you the best of both worlds - a real binder without the networking. ==== Test Binder configuration To enable Spring Integration Test Binder all you need is: - Add required dependencies - Remove the dependency for `spring-cloud-stream-test-support` ***Add required dependencies*** Below is the example of the required Maven POM entries. [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-stream</artifactId> <version>${spring.cloud.stream.version}</version> <type>test-jar</type> <scope>test</scope> <classifier>test-binder</classifier> </dependency>
Or for build.gradle.kts [source,kotlin]
testImplementation("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream") { artifact { name = "spring-cloud-stream" extension = "jar" type ="test-jar" classifier = "test-binder" } }
==== Test Binder usage Now you can test your microservice as a simple unit test [source,java]
@SpringBootTest @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) public class SampleStreamTests {
@Autowired private InputDestination input;
@Autowired private OutputDestination output;
@Test public void testEmptyConfiguration() { this.input.send(new GenericMessage<byte[]>("hello".getBytes())); assertThat(output.receive().getPayload()).isEqualTo("HELLO".getBytes()); }
@SpringBootApplication @Import(TestChannelBinderConfiguration.class) public static class SampleConfiguration { @Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return v -> v.toUpperCase(); } } }
And if you need more control or want to test several configurations in the same test suite you can also do the following: [source,java]
@EnableAutoConfiguration public static class MyTestConfiguration { @Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return v → v.toUpperCase(); } }
-
. .
@Test public void sampleTest() { try (ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder( TestChannelBinderConfiguration.getCompleteConfiguration( MyTestConfiguration.class)) .run("--spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase")) { InputDestination source = context.getBean(InputDestination.class); OutputDestination target = context.getBean(OutputDestination.class); source.send(new GenericMessage<byte[]>("hello".getBytes())); assertThat(target.receive().getPayload()).isEqualTo("HELLO".getBytes()); } }
For cases where you have multiple bindings and/or multiple inputs and outputs, or simply want to be explicit about names of the destination you are sending to or receiving from, the `send()` and `receive()` methods of `InputDestination` and `OutputDestination` are overridden to allow you to provide the name of the input and output destination. Consider the following sample: [source,java]
@EnableAutoConfiguration public static class SampleFunctionConfiguration {
@Bean public Function<String, String> uppercase() { return value -> value.toUpperCase(); }
@Bean public Function<String, String> reverse() { return value -> new StringBuilder(value).reverse().toString(); } }
and the actual test [source,java]
@Test public void testMultipleFunctions() { try (ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder( TestChannelBinderConfiguration.getCompleteConfiguration( SampleFunctionConfiguration.class)) .run("--spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase;reverse")) {
InputDestination inputDestination = context.getBean(InputDestination.class); OutputDestination outputDestination = context.getBean(OutputDestination.class);
Message<byte[]> inputMessage = MessageBuilder.withPayload("Hello".getBytes()).build(); inputDestination.send(inputMessage, "uppercase-in-0"); inputDestination.send(inputMessage, "reverse-in-0");
Message<byte[]> outputMessage = outputDestination.receive(0, "uppercase-out-0"); assertThat(outputMessage.getPayload()).isEqualTo("HELLO".getBytes());
outputMessage = outputDestination.receive(0, "reverse-out-0"); assertThat(outputMessage.getPayload()).isEqualTo("olleH".getBytes()); } }
For cases where you have additional mapping properties such as `destination` you should use those names. For example, consider a different version of the preceding test where we explicitly map inputs and outputs of the `uppercase` function to `myInput` and `myOutput` binding names: [source,java]
@Test public void testMultipleFunctions() { try (ConfigurableApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder( TestChannelBinderConfiguration.getCompleteConfiguration( SampleFunctionConfiguration.class)) .run( "--spring.cloud.function.definition=uppercase;reverse", "--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-in-0.destination=myInput", "--spring.cloud.stream.bindings.uppercase-out-0.destination=myOutput" )) {
InputDestination inputDestination = context.getBean(InputDestination.class); OutputDestination outputDestination = context.getBean(OutputDestination.class);
Message<byte[]> inputMessage = MessageBuilder.withPayload("Hello".getBytes()).build(); inputDestination.send(inputMessage, "myInput"); inputDestination.send(inputMessage, "reverse-in-0");
Message<byte[]> outputMessage = outputDestination.receive(0, "myOutput"); assertThat(outputMessage.getPayload()).isEqualTo("HELLO".getBytes());
outputMessage = outputDestination.receive(0, "reverse-out-0"); assertThat(outputMessage.getPayload()).isEqualTo("olleH".getBytes()); } }
==== Test Binder and PollableMessageSource Spring Integration Test Binder also allows you to write tests when working with `PollableMessageSource` (see <<Using Polled Consumers>> for more details). The important thing that needs to be understood though is that polling is not event-driven, and that `PollableMessageSource` is a strategy which exposes operation to produce (poll for) a Message (singular). How often you poll or how many threads you use or where you're polling from (message queue or file system) is entirely up to you; In other words it is your responsibility to configure Poller or Threads or the actual source of Message. Luckily Spring has plenty of abstractions to configure exactly that. Let's look at the example: [source, java]
@Test public void samplePollingTest() { ApplicationContext context = new SpringApplicationBuilder(SamplePolledConfiguration.class) .web(WebApplicationType.NONE) .run("--spring.jmx.enabled=false", "--spring.cloud.stream.pollable-source=myDestination"); OutputDestination destination = context.getBean(OutputDestination.class); System.out.println("Message 1: " + new String(destination.receive().getPayload())); System.out.println("Message 2: " + new String(destination.receive().getPayload())); System.out.println("Message 3: " + new String(destination.receive().getPayload())); }
@Import(TestChannelBinderConfiguration.class) @EnableAutoConfiguration public static class SamplePolledConfiguration { @Bean public ApplicationRunner poller(PollableMessageSource polledMessageSource, StreamBridge output, TaskExecutor taskScheduler) { return args → { taskScheduler.execute) → { for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { try { if (!polledMessageSource.poll(m → { String newPayload = ((String) m.getPayload(.toUpperCase(); output.send("myOutput", newPayload); })) { Thread.sleep(2000); } } catch (Exception e) { // handle failure } } }); }; } }
The above (very rudimentary) example will produce 3 messages in 2 second intervals sending them to the output destination of `Source` which this binder sends to `OutputDestination` where we retrieve them (for any assertions). Currently, it prints the following: [source, text]
Message 1: POLLED DATA Message 2: POLLED DATA Message 3: POLLED DATA
As you can see the data is the same. That is because this binder defines a default implementation of the actual `MessageSource` - the source from which the Messages are polled using `poll()` operation. While sufficient for most testing scenarios, there are cases where you may want to define your own `MessageSource`. To do so simply configure a bean of type `MessageSource` in your test configuration providing your own implementation of Message sourcing. Here is the example: [source, java]
@Bean public MessageSource<?> source() { return () → new GenericMessage<>("My Own Data " + UUID.randomUUID()); }

NOTE: DO NOT name this bean `messageSource` as it is going to be in conflict with the bean of the same name (different type) provided by Spring Boot for unrelated reasons. == Health Indicator Spring Cloud Stream provides a health indicator for binders. It is registered under the name `binders` and can be enabled or disabled by setting the `management.health.binders.enabled` property. To enable health check you first need to enable both "web" and "actuator" by including its dependencies (see <<binding_visualization_control>>) If `management.health.binders.enabled` is not set explicitly by the application, then `management.health.defaults.enabled` is matched as `true` and the binder health indicators are enabled. If you want to disable health indicator completely, then you have to set `management.health.binders.enabled` to `false`. You can use Spring Boot actuator health endpoint to access the health indicator - `/actuator/health`. By default, you will only receive the top level application status when you hit the above endpoint. In order to receive the full details from the binder specific health indicators, you need to include the property `management.endpoint.health.show-details` with the value `ALWAYS` in your application. Health indicators are binder-specific and certain binder implementations may not necessarily provide a health indicator. If you want to completely disable all health indicators available out of the box and instead provide your own health indicators, you can do so by setting property `management.health.binders.enabled` to `false` and then provide your own `HealthIndicator` beans in your application. In this case, the health indicator infrastructure from Spring Boot will still pick up these custom beans. Even if you are not disabling the binder health indicators, you can still enhance the health checks by providing your own `HealthIndicator` beans in addition to the out of the box health checks. When you have multiple binders in the same application, health indicators are enabled by default unless the application turns them off by setting `management.health.binders.enabled` to `false`. In this case, if the user wants to disable health check for a subset of the binders, then that should be done by setting `management.health.binders.enabled` to `false` in the multi binder configurations's environment. See <<multiple-systems,Connecting to Multiple Systems>> for details on how environment specific properties can be provided. If there are multiple binders present in the classpath but not all of them are used in the application, this may cause some issues in the context of health indicators. There may be implementation specific details as to how the health checks are performed. For example, a Kafka binder may decide the status as `DOWN` if there are no destinations registered by the binder. Lets take a concrete situation. Imagine you have both Kafka and Kafka Streams binders present in the classpath, but only use the Kafka Streams binder in the application code, i.e. only provide bindings using the Kafka Streams binder. Since Kafka binder is not used and it has specific checks to see if any destinations are registered, the binder health check will fail. The top level application health check status will be reported as `DOWN`. In this situation, you can simply remove the dependency for kafka binder from your application since you are not using it. == Samples For Spring Cloud Stream samples, see the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream-samples[spring-cloud-stream-samples] repository on GitHub. === Deploying Stream Applications on CloudFoundry On CloudFoundry, services are usually exposed through a special environment variable called https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/environment-variable.html#VCAP-SERVICES[VCAP_SERVICES]. When configuring your binder connections, you can use the values from an environment variable as explained on the http://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-dataflow-server-cloudfoundry/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#getting-started-ups[dataflow Cloud Foundry Server] docs. == Binder Implementations The following is the list of available binder implementations * https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-stream-binder-rabbit/[RabbitMQ] * https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka/[Apache Kafka] * https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream-binder-aws-kinesis[Amazon Kinesis] * https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-gcp/tree/master/spring-cloud-gcp-pubsub-stream-binder[Google PubSub _(partner maintained)_] * https://github.com/SolaceProducts/spring-cloud-stream-binder-solace[Solace PubSub+ _(partner maintained)_] * https://github.com/Microsoft/spring-cloud-azure/tree/master/spring-cloud-azure-stream-binder/spring-cloud-azure-eventhubs-stream-binder[Azure Event Hubs _(partner maintained)_] * https://github.com/alibaba/spring-cloud-alibaba/wiki/RocketMQ-en[Apache RocketMQ _(partner maintained)_] As it was mentioned earlier Binder abstraction is also one of the extension points of the framework. So if you can't find a suitable binder in the preceding list you can implement your own binder on top of Spring Cloud Stream. In the https://medium.com/@domenicosibilio/how-to-create-a-spring-cloud-stream-binder-from-scratch-ab8b29ee931b[How to create a Spring Cloud Stream Binder from scratch] post a community member documents in details, with an example, a set of steps necessary to implement a custom binder. The steps are also highlighted in the `<<spring-cloud-stream-overview-custom-binder-impl>>` section. :project-root: {basedir}/spring-cloud-task :project-version: {spring-cloud-task-version} = Spring Cloud Task Reference Guide Michael Minella, Glenn Renfro, Jay Bryant :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Task // project-specific attributes :spring-cloud-task-repo: snapshot :github-tag: master :spring-cloud-task-docs-version: current :spring-cloud-task-docs: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-task/docs/{spring-cloud-task-docs-version}/reference :spring-cloud-task-docs-current: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-task/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/html/ :github-repo: spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task :github-raw: https://raw.github.com/{github-repo}/{github-tag} :github-code: https://github.com/{github-repo}/tree/{github-tag} :github-wiki: https://github.com/{github-repo}/wiki :github-master-code: https://github.com/{github-repo}/tree/master :sc-ext: java :sc-spring-boot: {github-code}/spring-boot/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot :dc-ext: html :dc-root: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-task/docs/{spring-cloud-dataflow-docs-version}/api :dc-spring-boot: {dc-root}/org/springframework/boot :dependency-management-plugin: https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin :dependency-management-plugin-documentation: {dependency-management-plugin}/blob/master/README.md :spring-boot-maven-plugin-site: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/{spring-boot-docs-version}/maven-plugin :spring-reference: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{spring-docs-version}/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle :spring-security-reference: https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/{spring-security-docs-version}/reference/htmlsingle :spring-javadoc: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/{spring-docs-version}/javadoc-api/org/springframework :spring-amqp-javadoc: https://docs.spring.io/spring-amqp/docs/current/api/org/springframework/amqp :spring-data-javadoc: https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/jpa :spring-data-commons-javadoc: https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/commons/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data :spring-data-mongo-javadoc: https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/mongodb/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/mongodb :spring-data-rest-javadoc: https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/rest :gradle-userguide: https://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide :propdeps-plugin: https://github.com/spring-projects/gradle-plugins/tree/master/propdeps-plugin :ant-manual: https://ant.apache.org/manual :attributes: allow-uri-read // ====================================================================================== (C) 2009-2020 VMware, Inc.

[[task-documentation-getting-help]] == Getting help Having trouble with Spring Cloud Task? We would like to help! * Ask a question. We monitor https://stackoverflow.com[stackoverflow.com] for questions tagged with https://stackoverflow.com/tags/spring-cloud-task[`spring-cloud-task`]. * Report bugs with Spring Cloud Task at https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/issues. NOTE: All of Spring Cloud Task is open source, including the documentation. If you find a problem with the docs or if you just want to improve them, please {github-code}[get involved]. [[task-documentation-first-steps]] == First Steps If you are just getting started with Spring Cloud Task or with 'Spring' in general, we suggesting reading the <<getting-started.adoc#getting-started>> chapter. To get started from scratch, read the following sections: * <<getting-started.adoc#getting-started-introducing-spring-cloud-task, Introducing Spring Cloud Task>> * <<getting-started.adoc#getting-started-system-requirements, System Requirements>> + To follow the tutorial, read <<getting-started.adoc#getting-started-developing-first-task, Developing Your First Spring Cloud Task Application>> + To run your example, read <<getting-started.adoc#getting-started-running-the-example, Running the Example>> [[getting-started]] = Getting started [[partintro]] -- If you are just getting started with Spring Cloud Task, you should read this section. Here, we answer the basic "`what?`", "`how?`", and "`why?`" questions. We start with a gentle introduction to Spring Cloud Task. We then build a Spring Cloud Task application, discussing some core principles as we go. -- [[getting-started-introducing-spring-cloud-task]] == Introducing Spring Cloud Task Spring Cloud Task makes it easy to create short-lived microservices. It provides capabilities that let short lived JVM processes be executed on demand in a production environment. [[getting-started-system-requirements]] == System Requirements You need to have Java installed (Java 8 or better). To build, you need to have Maven installed as well. === Database Requirements Spring Cloud Task uses a relational database to store the results of an executed task. While you can begin developing a task without a database (the status of the task is logged as part of the task repository's updates), for production environments, you want to use a supported database. Spring Cloud Task currently supports the following databases: * DB2 * H2 * HSQLDB * MySql * Oracle * Postgres * SqlServer [[getting-started-developing-first-task]] == Developing Your First Spring Cloud Task Application A good place to start is with a simple "`Hello, World!`" application, so we create the Spring Cloud Task equivalent to highlight the features of the framework. Most IDEs have good support for Apache Maven, so we use it as the build tool for this project. NOTE: The spring.io web site contains many https://spring.io/guides[“`Getting Started`” guides] that use Spring Boot. If you need to solve a specific problem, check there first. You can shortcut the following steps by going to the https://start.spring.io/[Spring Initializr] and creating a new project. Doing so automatically generates a new project structure so that you can start coding right away. We recommend experimenting with the Spring Initializr to become familiar with it. [[getting-started-creating-project]] === Creating the Spring Task Project using Spring Initializr Now we can create and test an application that prints `Hello, World!` to the console. To do so: . Visit the link:https://start.spring.io/[Spring Initialzr] site. .. Create a new Maven project with a *Group* name of `io.spring.demo` and an *Artifact* name of `helloworld`. .. In the Dependencies text box, type `task` and then select the `Cloud Task` dependency. .. In the Dependencies text box, type `jdbc` and then select the `JDBC` dependency. .. In the Dependencies text box, type `h2` and then select the `H2`. (or your favorite database) .. Click the *Generate Project* button . Unzip the helloworld.zip file and import the project into your favorite IDE. [[getting-started-writing-the-code]] === Writing the Code To finish our application, we need to update the generated `HelloworldApplication` with the following contents so that it launches a Task. [source,java]
package io.spring.demo.helloworld;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
@SpringBootApplication @EnableTask public class HelloworldApplication {
@Bean public CommandLineRunner commandLineRunner() { return new HelloWorldCommandLineRunner(); }
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(HelloworldApplication.class, args); }
public static class HelloWorldCommandLineRunner implements CommandLineRunner {
@Override public void run(String... strings) throws Exception { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } } }
While it may seem small, quite a bit is going on. For more about Spring Boot specifics, see the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/[Spring Boot reference documentation]. Now we can open the `application.properties` file in `src/main/resources`. We need to configure two properties in `application.properties`: * `application.name`: To set the application name (which is translated to the task name) * `logging.level`: To set the logging for Spring Cloud Task to `DEBUG` in order to get a view of what is going on. The following example shows how to do both: [source]
logging.level.org.springframework.cloud.task=DEBUG spring.application.name=helloWorld
[[getting-started-at-task]] ==== Task Auto Configuration When including Spring Cloud Task Starter dependency, Task auto configures all beans to bootstrap it's functionality. Part of this configuration registers the `TaskRepository` and the infrastructure for its use. In our demo, the `TaskRepository` uses an embedded H2 database to record the results of a task. This H2 embedded database is not a practical solution for a production environment, since the H2 DB goes away once the task ends. However, for a quick getting-started experience, we can use this in our example as well as echoing to the logs what is being updated in that repository. In the <<features-configuration>> section (later in this documentation), we cover how to customize the configuration of the pieces provided by Spring Cloud Task. When our sample application runs, Spring Boot launches our `HelloWorldCommandLineRunner` and outputs our "`Hello, World!`" message to standard out. The `TaskLifecycleListener` records the start of the task and the end of the task in the repository. [[getting-started-main-method]] ==== The main method The main method serves as the entry point to any java application. Our main method delegates to Spring Boot's https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-spring-application.html[SpringApplication] class. [[getting-started-clr]] ==== The CommandLineRunner Spring includes many ways to bootstrap an application's logic. Spring Boot provides a convenient method of doing so in an organized manner through its `*Runner` interfaces (`CommandLineRunner` or `ApplicationRunner`). A well behaved task can bootstrap any logic by using one of these two runners. The lifecycle of a task is considered from before the `*Runner#run` methods are executed to once they are all complete. Spring Boot lets an application use multiple `*Runner` implementations, as does Spring Cloud Task. NOTE: Any processing bootstrapped from mechanisms other than a `CommandLineRunner` or `ApplicationRunner` (by using `InitializingBean#afterPropertiesSet` for example) is not recorded by Spring Cloud Task. [[getting-started-running-the-example]] === Running the Example At this point, our application should work. Since this application is Spring Boot-based, we can run it from the command line by using `$ mvn spring-boot:run` from the root of our application, as shown (with its output) in the following example: [source]
$ mvn clean spring-boot:run ……. . . . ……. . . . (Maven log output here) ……. . . .

The preceding output has three lines that of interest to us here: * `SimpleTaskRepository` logged the creation of the entry in the `TaskRepository`. * The execution of our `CommandLineRunner`, demonstrated by the "`Hello, World!`" output. * `SimpleTaskRepository` logs the completion of the task in the `TaskRepository`. NOTE: A simple task application can be found in the samples module of the Spring Cloud Task Project https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples/timestamp[here]. [[features]] = Features [[partintro]] -- This section goes into more detail about Spring Cloud Task, including how to use it, how to configure it, and the appropriate extension points. -- [[features-lifecycle]] == The lifecycle of a Spring Cloud Task In most cases, the modern cloud environment is designed around the execution of processes that are not expected to end. If they do end, they are typically restarted. While most platforms do have some way to run a process that is not restarted when it ends, the results of that run are typically not maintained in a consumable way. Spring Cloud Task offers the ability to execute short-lived processes in an environment and record the results. Doing so allows for a microservices architecture around short-lived processes as well as longer running services through the integration of tasks by messages. While this functionality is useful in a cloud environment, the same issues can arise in a traditional deployment model as well. When running Spring Boot applications with a scheduler such as cron, it can be useful to be able to monitor the results of the application after its completion. Spring Cloud Task takes the approach that a Spring Boot application can have a start and an end and still be successful. Batch applications are one example of how processes that are expected to end (and that are often short-lived) can be helpful. Spring Cloud Task records the lifecycle events of a given task. Most long-running processes, typified by most web applications, do not save their lifecycle events. The tasks at the heart of Spring Cloud Task do. The lifecycle consists of a single task execution. This is a physical execution of a Spring Boot application configured to be a task (that is, it has the Sprint Cloud Task dependencies). At the beginning of a task, before any `CommandLineRunner` or `ApplicationRunner` implementations have been run, an entry in the `TaskRepository` that records the start event is created. This event is triggered through `SmartLifecycle#start` being triggered by the Spring Framework. This indicates to the system that all beans are ready for use and comes before running any of the `CommandLineRunner` or `ApplicationRunner` implementations provided by Spring Boot. NOTE: The recording of a task only occurs upon the successful bootstrapping of an `ApplicationContext`. If the context fails to bootstrap at all, the task's run is not recorded. Upon completion of all of the `*Runner#run` calls from Spring Boot or the failure of an `ApplicationContext` (indicated by an `ApplicationFailedEvent`), the task execution is updated in the repository with the results. NOTE: If the application requires the `ApplicationContext` to be closed at the completion of a task (all `*Runner#run` methods have been called and the task repository has been updated), set the property `spring.cloud.task.closecontextEnabled` to true. [[features-task-execution-details]] === The TaskExecution The information stored in the `TaskRepository` is modeled in the `TaskExecution` class and consists of the following information: |=== |Field |Description |`executionid` |The unique ID for the task's run. |`exitCode` |The exit code generated from an `ExitCodeExceptionMapper` implementation. If there is no exit code generated but an `ApplicationFailedEvent` is thrown, 1 is set. Otherwise, it is assumed to be 0. |`taskName` |The name for the task, as determined by the configured `TaskNameResolver`. |`startTime` |The time the task was started, as indicated by the `SmartLifecycle#start` call. |`endTime` |The time the task was completed, as indicated by the `ApplicationReadyEvent`. |`exitMessage` |Any information available at the time of exit. This can programmatically be set by a `TaskExecutionListener`. |`errorMessage` |If an exception is the cause of the end of the task (as indicated by an `ApplicationFailedEvent`), the stack trace for that exception is stored here. |`arguments` |A `List` of the string command line arguments as they were passed into the executable boot application. |=== [[features-lifecycle-exit-codes]] === Mapping Exit Codes When a task completes, it tries to return an exit code to the OS. If we take a look at our <<getting-started-developing-first-task,original example>>, we can see that we are not controlling that aspect of our application. So, if an exception is thrown, the JVM returns a code that may or may not be of any use to you in debugging. Consequently, Spring Boot provides an interface, `ExitCodeExceptionMapper`, that lets you map uncaught exceptions to exit codes. Doing so lets you indicate, at the level of exit codes, what went wrong. Also, by mapping exit codes in this manner, Spring Cloud Task records the returned exit code. If the task terminates with a SIG-INT or a SIG-TERM, the exit code is zero unless otherwise specified within the code. NOTE: While the task is running, the exit code is stored as a null in the repository. Once the task completes, the appropriate exit code is stored based on the guidelines described earlier in this section. [[features-configuration]] == Configuration Spring Cloud Task provides a ready-to-use configuration, as defined in the `DefaultTaskConfigurer` and `SimpleTaskConfiguration` classes. This section walks through the defaults and how to customize Spring Cloud Task for your needs. [[features-data-source]] === DataSource Spring Cloud Task uses a datasource for storing the results of task executions. By default, we provide an in-memory instance of H2 to provide a simple method of bootstrapping development. However, in a production environment, you probably want to configure your own `DataSource`. If your application uses only a single `DataSource` and that serves as both your business schema and the task repository, all you need to do is provide any `DataSource` (the easiest way to do so is through Spring Boot's configuration conventions). This `DataSource` is automatically used by Spring Cloud Task for the repository. If your application uses more than one `DataSource`, you need to configure the task repository with the appropriate `DataSource`. This customization can be done through an implementation of `TaskConfigurer`. [[features-table-prefix]] === Table Prefix One modifiable property of `TaskRepository` is the table prefix for the task tables. By default, they are all prefaced with `TASK_`. `TASK_EXECUTION` and `TASK_EXECUTION_PARAMS` are two examples. However, there are potential reasons to modify this prefix. If the schema name needs to be prepended to the table names or if more than one set of task tables is needed within the same schema, you must change the table prefix. You can do so by setting the `spring.cloud.task.tablePrefix` to the prefix you need, as follows: `spring.cloud.task.tablePrefix=yourPrefix` By using the `spring.cloud.task.tablePrefix`, a user assumes the responsibility to create the task tables that meet both the criteria for the task table schema but with modifications that are required for a user's business needs. You can utilize the Spring Cloud Task Schema DDL as a guide when creating your own Task DDL as seen https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-core/src/main/resources/org/springframework/cloud/task[here]. [[features-table-initialization]] === Enable/Disable table initialization In cases where you are creating the task tables and do not wish for Spring Cloud Task to create them at task startup, set the `spring.cloud.task.initialize-enabled` property to `false`, as follows: `spring.cloud.task.initialize-enabled=false` It defaults to `true`. NOTE: The property `spring.cloud.task.initialize.enable` has been deprecated. [[features-generated_task_id]] === Externally Generated Task ID In some cases, you may want to allow for the time difference between when a task is requested and when the infrastructure actually launches it. Spring Cloud Task lets you create a `TaskExecution` when the task is requested. Then pass the execution ID of the generated `TaskExecution` to the task so that it can update the `TaskExecution` through the task's lifecycle. A `TaskExecution` can be created by calling the `createTaskExecution` method on an implementation of the `TaskRepository` that references the datastore that holds the `TaskExecution` objects. In order to configure your Task to use a generated `TaskExecutionId`, add the following property: `spring.cloud.task.executionid=yourtaskId` [[features-external_task_id]] === External Task Id Spring Cloud Task lets you store an external task ID for each `TaskExecution`. An example of this would be a task ID provided by Cloud Foundry when a task is launched on the platform. In order to configure your Task to use a generated `TaskExecutionId`, add the following property: `spring.cloud.task.external-execution-id=<externalTaskId>` [[features-parent_task_id]] === Parent Task Id Spring Cloud Task lets you store a parent task ID for each `TaskExecution`. An example of this would be a task that executes another task or tasks and you want to record which task launched each of the child tasks. In order to configure your Task to set a parent `TaskExecutionId` add the following property on the child task: `spring.cloud.task.parent-execution-id=<parentExecutionTaskId>` [[features-task-configurer]] === TaskConfigurer The `TaskConfigurer` is a strategy interface that lets you customize the way components of Spring Cloud Task are configured. By default, we provide the `DefaultTaskConfigurer` that provides logical defaults: `Map`-based in-memory components (useful for development if no `DataSource` is provided) and JDBC based components (useful if there is a `DataSource` available). The `TaskConfigurer` lets you configure three main components: |=== |Component |Description |Default (provided by `DefaultTaskConfigurer`) |`TaskRepository` |The implementation of the `TaskRepository` to be used. |`SimpleTaskRepository` |`TaskExplorer` |The implementation of the `TaskExplorer` (a component for read-only access to the task repository) to be used. |`SimpleTaskExplorer` |`PlatformTransactionManager` |A transaction manager to be used when running updates for tasks. |`DataSourceTransactionManager` if a `DataSource` is used. `ResourcelessTransactionManager` if it is not. |=== You can customize any of the components described in the preceding table by creating a custom implementation of the `TaskConfigurer` interface. Typically, extending the `DefaultTaskConfigurer` (which is provided if a `TaskConfigurer` is not found) and overriding the required getter is sufficient. However, implementing your own from scratch may be required. NOTE: Users should not directly use getter methods from a `TaskConfigurer` directly unless they are using it to supply implementations to be exposed as Spring Beans. [[features-task-name]] === Task Name In most cases, the name of the task is the application name as configured in Spring Boot. However, there are some cases where you may want to map the run of a task to a different name. Spring Cloud Data Flow is an example of this (because you probably want the task to be run with the name of the task definition). Because of this, we offer the ability to customize how the task is named, through the `TaskNameResolver` interface. By default, Spring Cloud Task provides the `SimpleTaskNameResolver`, which uses the following options (in order of precedence): . A Spring Boot property (configured in any of the ways Spring Boot allows) called `spring.cloud.task.name`. . The application name as resolved using Spring Boot's rules (obtained through `ApplicationContext#getId`). [[features-task-execution-listener]] === Task Execution Listener `TaskExecutionListener` lets you register listeners for specific events that occur during the task lifecycle. To do so, create a class that implements the `TaskExecutionListener` interface. The class that implements the `TaskExecutionListener` interface is notified of the following events: * `onTaskStartup`: Prior to storing the `TaskExecution` into the `TaskRepository`. * `onTaskEnd`: Prior to updating the `TaskExecution` entry in the `TaskRepository` and marking the final state of the task. * `onTaskFailed`: Prior to the `onTaskEnd` method being invoked when an unhandled exception is thrown by the task. Spring Cloud Task also lets you add `TaskExecution` Listeners to methods within a bean by using the following method annotations: * `@BeforeTask`: Prior to the storing the `TaskExecution` into the `TaskRepository` * `@AfterTask`: Prior to the updating of the `TaskExecution` entry in the `TaskRepository` marking the final state of the task. * `@FailedTask`: Prior to the `@AfterTask` method being invoked when an unhandled exception is thrown by the task. The following example shows the three annotations in use: [source,java]
public class MyBean {
@BeforeTask public void methodA(TaskExecution taskExecution) { }
@AfterTask public void methodB(TaskExecution taskExecution) { }
@FailedTask public void methodC(TaskExecution taskExecution, Throwable throwable) { } }
NOTE: Inserting an `ApplicationListener` earlier in the chain than `TaskLifecycleListener` exists may cause unexpected effects. [[features-task-execution-listener-Exceptions]] ==== Exceptions Thrown by Task Execution Listener If an exception is thrown by a `TaskExecutionListener` event handler, all listener processing for that event handler stops. For example, if three `onTaskStartup` listeners have started and the first `onTaskStartup` event handler throws an exception, the other two `onTaskStartup` methods are not called. However, the other event handlers (`onTaskEnd` and `onTaskFailed`) for the `TaskExecutionListeners` are called. The exit code returned when a exception is thrown by a `TaskExecutionListener` event handler is the exit code that was reported by the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/api/org/springframework/boot/ExitCodeEvent.html[ExitCodeEvent]. If no `ExitCodeEvent` is emitted, the Exception thrown is evaluated to see if it is of type https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-application-exit[ExitCodeGenerator]. If so, it returns the exit code from the `ExitCodeGenerator`. Otherwise, `1` is returned. In the case that an exception is thrown in an `onTaskStartup` method, the exit code for the application will be `1`. If an exception is thrown in either a `onTaskEnd` or `onTaskFailed` method, the exit code for the application will be the one established using the rules enumerated above. NOTE: In the case of an exception being thrown in a `onTaskStartup`, `onTaskEnd`, or `onTaskFailed` you can not override the exit code for the application using `ExitCodeExceptionMapper`. [[features-task-execution-listener-exit-messages]] ==== Exit Messages You can set the exit message for a task programmatically by using a `TaskExecutionListener`. This is done by setting the `TaskExecution's` `exitMessage`, which then gets passed into the `TaskExecutionListener`. The following example shows a method that is annotated with the `@AfterTask` `ExecutionListener` : [source,java] @AfterTask public void afterMe(TaskExecution taskExecution) { taskExecution.setExitMessage("AFTER EXIT MESSAGE"); } An `ExitMessage` can be set at any of the listener events (`onTaskStartup`, `onTaskFailed`, and `onTaskEnd`). The order of precedence for the three listeners follows: . `onTaskEnd` . `onTaskFailed` . `onTaskStartup` For example, if you set an `exitMessage` for the `onTaskStartup` and `onTaskFailed` listeners and the task ends without failing, the `exitMessage` from the `onTaskStartup` is stored in the repository. Otherwise, if a failure occurs, the `exitMessage` from the `onTaskFailed` is stored. Also if you set the `exitMessage` with an `onTaskEnd` listener, the `exitMessage` from the `onTaskEnd` supersedes the exit messages from both the `onTaskStartup` and `onTaskFailed`. [[features-single-instance-enabled]] === Restricting Spring Cloud Task Instances Spring Cloud Task lets you establish that only one task with a given task name can be run at a time. To do so, you need to establish the <<features-task-name, task name>> and set `spring.cloud.task.single-instance-enabled=true` for each task execution. While the first task execution is running, any other time you try to run a task with the same <<features-task-name, task name>> and`spring.cloud.task.single-instance-enabled=true`, the task fails with the following error message: `Task with name "application" is already running.` The default value for `spring.cloud.task.single-instance-enabled` is `false`. The following example shows how to set `spring.cloud.task.single-instance-enabled` to `true`: `spring.cloud.task.single-instance-enabled=true or false` To use this feature, you must add the following Spring Integration dependencies to your application: [source,xml] <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId> <artifactId>spring-integration-core</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId> <artifactId>spring-integration-jdbc</artifactId> </dependency> NOTE: The exit code for the application will be 1 if the task fails because this feature is enabled and another task is running with the same task name. === Disabling Spring Cloud Task Auto Configuration In cases where Spring Cloud Task should not be auto configured for an implementation, you can disable Task's auto configuration. This can be done either by adding the following annotation to your Task application: ``` @EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={SimpleTaskAutoConfiguration.class}) ``` You may also disable Task auto configuration by setting the `spring.cloud.task.autoconfiguration.enabled` property to `false`. [[closing-the-context]] === Closing the Context If the application requires the `ApplicationContext` to be closed at the completion of a task (all `*Runner#run` methods have been called and the task repository has been updated), set the property `spring.cloud.task.closecontextEnabled` to `true`. Another case to close the context is when the Task Execution completes however the application does not terminate. In these cases the context is held open because a thread has been allocated (for example: if you are using a TaskExecutor). In these cases set the `spring.cloud.task.closecontextEnabled` property to `true` when launching your task. This will close the application's context once the task is complete. Thus allowing the application to terminate. [[batch]] = Batch [[partintro]] -- This section goes into more detail about Spring Cloud Task's integration with Spring Batch. Tracking the association between a job execution and the task in which it was executed as well as remote partitioning through Spring Cloud Deployer are covered in this section. -- [[batch-association]] == Associating a Job Execution to the Task in which It Was Executed Spring Boot provides facilities for the execution of batch jobs within an über-jar. Spring Boot's support of this functionality lets a developer execute multiple batch jobs within that execution. Spring Cloud Task provides the ability to associate the execution of a job (a job execution) with a task's execution so that one can be traced back to the other. Spring Cloud Task achieves this functionality by using the `TaskBatchExecutionListener`. By default, this listener is auto configured in any context that has both a Spring Batch Job configured (by having a bean of type `Job` defined in the context) and the `spring-cloud-task-batch` jar on the classpath. The listener is injected into all jobs that meet those conditions. [[batch-association-override]] === Overriding the TaskBatchExecutionListener To prevent the listener from being injected into any batch jobs within the current context, you can disable the autoconfiguration by using standard Spring Boot mechanisms. To only have the listener injected into particular jobs within the context, override the `batchTaskExecutionListenerBeanPostProcessor` and provide a list of job bean IDs, as shown in the following example: [source,java]
public TaskBatchExecutionListenerBeanPostProcessor batchTaskExecutionListenerBeanPostProcessor() { TaskBatchExecutionListenerBeanPostProcessor postProcessor = new TaskBatchExecutionListenerBeanPostProcessor();
postProcessor.setJobNames(Arrays.asList(new String[] {"job1", "job2"}));
return postProcessor; }
NOTE: You can find a sample batch application in the samples module of the Spring Cloud Task Project, https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples/batch-job[here]. [[batch-partitioning]] == Remote Partitioning Spring Cloud Deployer provides facilities for launching Spring Boot-based applications on most cloud infrastructures. The `DeployerPartitionHandler` and `DeployerStepExecutionHandler` delegate the launching of worker step executions to Spring Cloud Deployer. To configure the `DeployerStepExecutionHandler`, you must provide a `Resource` representing the Spring Boot über-jar to be executed, a `TaskLauncher`, and a `JobExplorer`. You can configure any environment properties as well as the max number of workers to be executing at once, the interval to poll for the results (defaults to 10 seconds), and a timeout (defaults to -1 or no timeout). The following example shows how configuring this `PartitionHandler` might look: [source,java]
@Bean public PartitionHandler partitionHandler(TaskLauncher taskLauncher, JobExplorer jobExplorer) throws Exception {
MavenProperties mavenProperties = new MavenProperties(); mavenProperties.setRemoteRepositories(new HashMap<>(Collections.singletonMap("springRepo", new MavenProperties.RemoteRepository(repository))));
Resource resource = MavenResource.parse(String.format("%s:%s:%s", "io.spring.cloud", "partitioned-batch-job", "1.1.0.RELEASE"), mavenProperties);
DeployerPartitionHandler partitionHandler = new DeployerPartitionHandler(taskLauncher, jobExplorer, resource, "workerStep");
List<String> commandLineArgs = new ArrayList<>(3); commandLineArgs.add("--spring.profiles.active=worker"); commandLineArgs.add("--spring.cloud.task.initialize.enable=false"); commandLineArgs.add("--spring.batch.initializer.enabled=false");
partitionHandler.setCommandLineArgsProvider( new PassThroughCommandLineArgsProvider(commandLineArgs)); partitionHandler.setEnvironmentVariablesProvider(new NoOpEnvironmentVariablesProvider()); partitionHandler.setMaxWorkers(2); partitionHandler.setApplicationName("PartitionedBatchJobTask");
return partitionHandler; }
NOTE: When passing environment variables to partitions, each partition may be on a different machine with different environment settings. Consequently, you should pass only those environment variables that are required. Notice in the example above that we have set the maximum number of workers to 2. Setting the maximum of workers establishes the maximum number of partitions that should be running at one time. The `Resource` to be executed is expected to be a Spring Boot über-jar with a `DeployerStepExecutionHandler` configured as a `CommandLineRunner` in the current context. The repository enumerated in the preceding example should be the remote repository in which the über-jar is located. Both the manager and worker are expected to have visibility into the same data store being used as the job repository and task repository. Once the underlying infrastructure has bootstrapped the Spring Boot jar and Spring Boot has launched the `DeployerStepExecutionHandler`, the step handler executes the requested `Step`. The following example shows how to configure the `DeployerStepExecutionHandler`: [source,java]
@Bean public DeployerStepExecutionHandler stepExecutionHandler(JobExplorer jobExplorer) { DeployerStepExecutionHandler handler = new DeployerStepExecutionHandler(this.context, jobExplorer, this.jobRepository);
return handler; }
NOTE: You can find a sample remote partition application in the samples module of the Spring Cloud Task project, https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples/partitioned-batch-job[here]. === Notes on Developing a Batch-partitioned application for the Kubernetes Platform * When deploying partitioned apps on the Kubernetes platform, you must use the following dependency for the Spring Cloud Kubernetes Deployer: + [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-deployer-kubernetes</artifactId> </dependency>
* The application name for the task application and its partitions need to follow the following regex pattern: `[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])`. Otherwise, an exception is thrown. === Notes on Developing a Batch-partitioned Application for the Cloud Foundry Platform * When deploying partitioned apps on the Cloud Foundry platform, you must use the following dependencies for the Spring Cloud Foundry Deployer: + [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-deployer-cloudfoundry</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>io.projectreactor</groupId> <artifactId>reactor-core</artifactId> <version>3.1.5.RELEASE</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>io.projectreactor.ipc</groupId> <artifactId>reactor-netty</artifactId> <version>0.7.5.RELEASE</version> </dependency>
* When configuring the partition handler, Cloud Foundry Deployment environment variables need to be established so that the partition handler can start the partitions. The following list shows the required environment variables: - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_url` - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_org` - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_space` - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_domain` - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_username` - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_password` - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_services` - `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_taskTimeout` An example set of deployment environment variables for a partitioned task that uses a `mysql` database service might resemble the following: [source,bash]
spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_url=https://api.local.pcfdev.io spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_org=pcfdev-org spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_space=pcfdev-space spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_domain=local.pcfdev.io spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_username=admin spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_password=admin spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_services=mysql spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_taskTimeout=300
NOTE: When using PCF-Dev, the following environment variable is also required: `spring_cloud_deployer_cloudfoundry_skipSslValidation=true` [[batch-informational-messages]] == Batch Informational Messages Spring Cloud Task provides the ability for batch jobs to emit informational messages. The "`<<stream.adoc#stream-integration-batch-events>>`" section covers this feature in detail. [[batch-failures-and-tasks]] == Batch Job Exit Codes As discussed <<features.adoc#features-lifecycle-exit-codes,earlier>>, Spring Cloud Task applications support the ability to record the exit code of a task execution. However, in cases where you run a Spring Batch Job within a task, regardless of how the Batch Job Execution completes, the result of the task is always zero when using the default Batch/Boot behavior. Keep in mind that a task is a boot application and that the exit code returned from the task is the same as a boot application. To override this behavior and allow the task to return an exit code other than zero when a batch job returns an https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/4.0.x/reference/html/step.html#batchStatusVsExitStatus[BatchStatus] of `FAILED`, set `spring.cloud.task.batch.fail-on-job-failure` to `true`. Then the exit code can be 1 (the default) or be based on the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-spring-application.html#boot-features-application-exit[specified `ExitCodeGenerator`]) This functionality uses a new `CommandLineRunner` that replaces the one provided by Spring Boot. By default, it is configured with the same order. However, if you want to customize the order in which the `CommandLineRunner` is run, you can set its order by setting the `spring.cloud.task.batch.commandLineRunnerOrder` property. To have your task return the exit code based on the result of the batch job execution, you need to write your own `CommandLineRunner`. //TODO Great place for a example showing how a custom CommandLineRunner [[batch-job-starter]] = Single Step Batch Job Starter [[partintro]] -- This section goes into how to develop a Spring Batch `Job` with a single `Step` by using the starter included in Spring Cloud Task. This starter lets you use configuration to define an `ItemReader`, an `ItemWriter`, or a full single-step Spring Batch `Job`. For more about Spring Batch and its capabilities, see the https://spring.io/projects/spring-batch[Spring Batch documentation]. -- To obtain the starter for Maven, add the following to your build: ==== [source,xml]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-single-step-batch-job</artifactId> <version>2.3.0</version> </dependency>
==== To obtain the starter for Gradle, add the following to your build: ==== [source,groovy]
compile "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-single-step-batch-job:2.3.0"
==== [[job-definition]] == Defining a Job You can use the starter to define as little as an `ItemReader` or an `ItemWriter` or as much as a full `Job`. In this section, we define which properties are required to be defined to configure a `Job`. [[job-definition-properties]] === Properties To begin, the starter provides a set of properties that let you configure the basics of a Job with one Step: .Job Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.jobName` | `String` | `null` | The name of the job. | `spring.batch.job.stepName` | `String` | `null` | The name of the step. | `spring.batch.job.chunkSize` | `Integer` | `null` | The number of items to be processed per transaction. |=== With the above properties configured, you have a job with a single, chunk-based step. This chunk-based step reads, processes, and writes `Map<String, Object>` instances as the items. However, the step does not yet do anything. You need to configure an `ItemReader`, an optional `ItemProcessor`, and an `ItemWriter` to give it something to do. To configure one of these, you can either use properties and configure one of the options that has provided autoconfiguration or you can configure your own with the standard Spring configuration mechanisms. NOTE: If you configure your own, the input and output types must match the others in the step. The `ItemReader` implementations and `ItemWriter` implementations in this starter all use a `Map<String, Object>` as the input and the output item. [[item-readers]] == Autoconfiguration for ItemReader Implementations This starter provides autoconfiguration for four different `ItemReader` implementations: `AmqpItemReader`, `FlatFileItemReader`, `JdbcCursorItemReader`, and `KafkaItemReader`. In this section, we outline how to configure each of these by using the provided autoconfiguration. [[amqpitemreader]] === AmqpItemReader You can read from a queue or topic with AMQP by using the `AmqpItemReader`. The autoconfiguration for this `ItemReader` implementation is dependent upon two sets of configuration. The first is the configuration of an `AmqpTemplate`. You can either configure this yourself or use the autoconfiguration provided by Spring Boot. See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.4.x/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-amqp[Spring Boot AMQP documentation]. Once you have configured the `AmqpTemplate`, you can enable the batch capabilities to support it by setting the following properties: .`AmqpItemReader` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.amqpitemreader.enabled` | `boolean` | `false` | If `true`, the autoconfiguration will execute. | `spring.batch.job.amqpitemreader.jsonConverterEnabled` | `boolean` | `true` | Indicates if the `Jackson2JsonMessageConverter` should be registered to parse messages. |=== For more information, see the https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.3.x/api/org/springframework/batch/item/amqp/AmqpItemReader.html[`AmqpItemReader` documentation]. [[flatfileitemreader]] === FlatFileItemReader `FlatFileItemReader` lets you read from flat files (such as CSVs and other file formats). To read from a file, you can provide some components yourself through normal Spring configuration (`LineTokenizer`, `RecordSeparatorPolicy`, `FieldSetMapper`, `LineMapper`, or `SkippedLinesCallback`). You can also use the following properties to configure the reader: .`FlatFileItemReader` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.saveState` | `boolean` | `true` | Determines if the state should be saved for restarts. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.name` | `String` | `null` | Name used to provide unique keys in the `ExecutionContext`. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.maxItemcount` | `int` | `Integer.MAX_VALUE` | Maximum number of items to be read from the file. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.currentItemCount` | `int` | 0 | Number of items that have already been read. Used on restarts. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.comments` | `List<String>` | empty List | A list of Strings that indicate commented lines (lines to be ignored) in the file. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.resource` | `Resource` | `null` | The resource to be read. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.strict` | `boolean` | `true` | If set to `true`, the reader throws an exception if the resource is not found. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.encoding` | `String` | `FlatFileItemReader.DEFAULT_CHARSET` | Encoding to be used when reading the file. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.linesToSkip` | `int` | 0 | Indicates the number of lines to skip at the start of a file. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.delimited` | `boolean` | `false` | Indicates whether the file is a delimited file (CSV and other formats). Only one of this property or `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.fixedLength` can be `true` at the same time. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.delimiter` | `String` | `DelimitedLineTokenizer.DELIMITER_COMMA` | If reading a delimited file, indicates the delimiter to parse on. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.quoteCharacter` | `char` | `DelimitedLineTokenizer.DEFAULT_QUOTE_CHARACTER` | Used to determine the character used to quote values. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.includedFields` | `List<Integer>` | empty list | A list of indices to determine which fields in a record to include in the item. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.fixedLength` | `boolean` | `false` | Indicates if a file's records are parsed by column numbers. Only one of this property or `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.delimited` can be `true` at the same time. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.ranges` | `List<Range>` | empty list | List of column ranges by which to parse a fixed width record. See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.3.x/api/org/springframework/batch/item/file/transform/Range.html[Range documentation]. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.names` | `String []` | `null` | List of names for each field parsed from a record. These names are the keys in the `Map<String, Object>` in the items returned from this `ItemReader`. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemreader.parsingStrict` | `boolean` | `true` | If set to `true`, the mapping fails if the fields cannot be mapped. |=== See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.3.x/api/org/springframework/batch/item/file/FlatFileItemReader.html[`FlatFileItemReader` documentation]. [[jdbcCursorItemReader]] === JdbcCursorItemReader The `JdbcCursorItemReader` runs a query against a relational database and iterates over the resulting cursor (`ResultSet`) to provide the resulting items. This autoconfiguration lets you provide a `PreparedStatementSetter`, a `RowMapper`, or both. You can also use the following properties to configure a `JdbcCursorItemReader`: .`JdbcCursorItemReader` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.saveState` | `boolean` | `true` | Determines whether the state should be saved for restarts. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.name` | `String` | `null` | Name used to provide unique keys in the `ExecutionContext`. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.maxItemcount` | `int` | `Integer.MAX_VALUE` | Maximum number of items to be read from the file. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.currentItemCount` | `int` | 0 | Number of items that have already been read. Used on restarts. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.fetchSize` | `int` | | A hint to the driver to indicate how many records to retrieve per call to the database system. For best performance, you usually want to set it to match the chunk size. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.maxRows` | `int` | | Maximum number of items to read from the database. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.queryTimeout` | `int` | | Number of milliseconds for the query to timeout. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.ignoreWarnings` | `boolean` | `true` | Determines whether the reader should ignore SQL warnings when processing. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.verifyCursorPosition` | `boolean` | `true` | Indicates whether the cursor's position should be verified after each read to verify that the `RowMapper` did not advance the cursor. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.driverSupportsAbsolute` | `boolean` | `false` | Indicates whether the driver supports absolute positioning of a cursor. | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.useSharedExtendedConnection` | `boolean` | `false` | Indicates whether the connection is shared with other processing (and is therefore part of a transaction). | `spring.batch.job.jdbccursoritemreader.sql` | `String` | `null` | SQL query from which to read. |=== See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.3.x/api/org/springframework/batch/item/database/JdbcCursorItemReader.html[`JdbcCursorItemReader` documentation]. [[kafkaItemReader]] === KafkaItemReader Ingesting a partition of data from a Kafka topic is useful and exactly what the `KafkaItemReader` can do. To configure a `KafkaItemReader`, two pieces of configuration are required. First, configuring Kafka with Spring Boot's Kafka autoconfiguration is required (see the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.4.x/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-kafka[Spring Boot Kafka documentation]). Once you have configured the Kafka properties from Spring Boot, you can configure the `KafkaItemReader` itself by setting the following properties: .`KafkaItemReader` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.kafkaitemreader.name` | `String` | `null` | Name used to provide unique keys in the `ExecutionContext`. | `spring.batch.job.kafkaitemreader.topic` | `String` | `null` | Name of the topic from which to read. | `spring.batch.job.kafkaitemreader.partitions` | `List<Integer>` | empty list | List of partition indices from which to read. | `spring.batch.job.kafkaitemreader.pollTimeOutInSeconds` | `long` | 30 | Timeout for the `poll()` operations. | `spring.batch.job.kafkaitemreader.saveState` | `boolean` | `true` | Determines whether the state should be saved for restarts. |=== See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.3.x/api/org/springframework/batch/item/kafka/KafkaItemReader.html[`KafkaItemReader` documentation]. [[item-processors]] == ItemProcessor Configuration The single-step batch job autoconfiguration accepts an `ItemProcessor` if one is available within the `ApplicationContext`. If one is found of the correct type (`ItemProcessor<Map<String, Object>, Map<String, Object>>`), it is autowired into the step. [[item-writers]] == Autoconfiguration for ItemWriter implementations This starter provides autoconfiguration for `ItemWriter` implementations that match the supported `ItemReader` implementations: `AmqpItemWriter`, `FlatFileItemWriter`, `JdbcItemWriter`, and `KafkaItemWriter`. This section covers how to use autoconfiguration to configure a supported `ItemWriter`. [[amqpitemwriter]] === AmqpItemWriter To write to a RabbitMQ queue, you need two sets of configuration. First, you need an `AmqpTemplate`. The easiest way to get this is by using Spring Boot's RabbitMQ autoconfiguration. See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.4.x/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-amqp[Spring Boot RabbitMQ documentation]. Once you have configured the `AmqpTemplate`, you can configure the `AmqpItemWriter` by setting the following properties: .`AmqpItemWriter` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.amqpitemwriter.enabled` | `boolean` | `false` | If `true`, the autoconfiguration runs. | `spring.batch.job.amqpitemwriter.jsonConverterEnabled` | `boolean` | `true` | Indicates whether `Jackson2JsonMessageConverter` should be registered to convert messages. |=== [[flatfileitemwriter]] === FlatFileItemWriter To write a file as the output of the step, you can configure `FlatFileItemWriter`. Autoconfiguration accepts components that have been explicitly configured (such as `LineAggregator`, `FieldExtractor`, `FlatFileHeaderCallback`, or a `FlatFileFooterCallback`) and components that have been configured by setting the following properties specified: .`FlatFileItemWriter` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemwriter.resource` | `Resource` | `null` | The resource to be read. | `spring.batch.job.flatfileitemwriter.delimited` | `boolean` | `false` | Indicates whether the output file is a delimited file.

[[jdbcitemwriter]] === JdbcBatchItemWriter To write the output of a step to a relational database, this starter provides the ability to autoconfigure a `JdbcBatchItemWriter`. The autoconfiguration lets you provide your own `ItemPreparedStatementSetter` or `ItemSqlParameterSourceProvider` and configuration options by setting the following properties: .`JdbcBatchItemWriter` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.jdbcbatchitemwriter.name` | `String` | `null` | Name used to provide unique keys in the `ExecutionContext`. | `spring.batch.job.jdbcbatchitemwriter.sql` | `String` | `null` | The SQL used to insert each item. | `spring.batch.job.jdbcbatchitemwriter.assertUpdates` | `boolean` | `true` | Whether to verify that every insert results in the update of at least one record. |=== See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.3.x/api/org/springframework/batch/item/database/JdbcBatchItemWriter.html[`JdbcBatchItemWriter` documentation]. [[kafkaitemwriter]] === KafkaItemWriter To write step output to a Kafka topic, you need `KafkaItemWriter`. This starter provides autoconfiguration for a `KafkaItemWriter` by using facilities from two places. The first is Spring Boot's Kafka autoconfiguration. (See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.4.x/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-kafka[Spring Boot Kafka documentation].) Second, this starter lets you configure two properties on the writer. .`KafkaItemWriter` Properties |=== | Property | Type | Default Value | Description | `spring.batch.job.kafkaitemwriter.topic` | `String` | `null` | The Kafka topic to which to write. | `spring.batch.job.kafkaitemwriter.delete` | `boolean` | `false` | Whether the items being passed to the writer are all to be sent as delete events to the topic. |=== For more about the configuration options for the `KafkaItemWriter`, see the https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/docs/4.3.x/api/org/springframework/batch/item/kafka/KafkaItemWriter.html[`KafkaItemWiter` documentation]. [[stream-integration]] = Spring Cloud Stream Integration [[partintro]] -- A task by itself can be useful, but integration of a task into a larger ecosystem lets it be useful for more complex processing and orchestration. This section covers the integration options for Spring Cloud Task with Spring Cloud Stream. -- [[stream-integration-launching-sink]] == Launching a Task from a Spring Cloud Stream You can launch tasks from a stream. To do so, create a sink that listens for a message that contains a `TaskLaunchRequest` as its payload. The `TaskLaunchRequest` contains: * `uri`: To the task artifact that is to be executed. * `applicationName`: The name that is associated with the task. If no applicationName is set, the `TaskLaunchRequest` generates a task name comprised of the following: `Task-<UUID>`. * `commandLineArguments`: A list containing the command line arguments for the task. * `environmentProperties`: A map containing the environment variables to be used by the task. * `deploymentProperties`: A map containing the properties that are used by the deployer to deploy the task. NOTE: If the payload is of a different type, the sink throws an exception. For example, a stream can be created that has a processor that takes in data from an HTTP source and creates a `GenericMessage` that contains the `TaskLaunchRequest` and sends the message to its output channel. The task sink would then receive the message from its input channnel and then launch the task. To create a taskSink, you need only create a Spring Boot application that includes the `EnableTaskLauncher` annotation, as shown in the following example: [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication @EnableTaskLauncher public class TaskSinkApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(TaskSinkApplication.class, args); } }
The https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples[samples module] of the Spring Cloud Task project contains a sample Sink and Processor. To install these samples into your local maven repository, run a maven build from the `spring-cloud-task-samples` directory with the `skipInstall` property set to `false`, as shown in the following example: `mvn clean install` NOTE: The `maven.remoteRepositories.springRepo.url` property must be set to the location of the remote repository in which the über-jar is located. If not set, there is no remote repository, so it relies upon the local repository only. [[stream-integration-launching-sink-dataflow]] === Spring Cloud Data Flow To create a stream in Spring Cloud Data Flow, you must first register the Task Sink Application we created. In the following example, we are registering the Processor and Sink sample applications by using the Spring Cloud Data Flow shell: [source,bash]
app register --name taskSink --type sink --uri maven://io.spring.cloud:tasksink:<version> app register --name taskProcessor --type processor --uri maven:io.spring.cloud:taskprocessor:<version>
The following example shows how to create a stream from the Spring Cloud Data Flow shell: [source,bash] stream create foo --definition "http --server.port=9000|taskProcessor|taskSink" --deploy [[stream-integration-events]] == Spring Cloud Task Events Spring Cloud Task provides the ability to emit events through a Spring Cloud Stream channel when the task is run through a Spring Cloud Stream channel. A task listener is used to publish the `TaskExecution` on a message channel named `task-events`. This feature is autowired into any task that has `spring-cloud-stream`, `spring-cloud-stream-<binder>`, and a defined task on its classpath. NOTE: To disable the event emitting listener, set the `spring.cloud.task.events.enabled` property to `false`. With the appropriate classpath defined, the following task emits the `TaskExecution` as an event on the `task-events` channel (at both the start and the end of the task): [source, java]
@SpringBootApplication public class TaskEventsApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(TaskEventsApplication.class, args); }
@Configuration public static class TaskConfiguration {
@Bean public CommandLineRunner commandLineRunner() { return new CommandLineRunner() { @Override public void run(String... args) throws Exception { System.out.println("The CommandLineRunner was executed"); } }; } } }
NOTE: A binder implementation is also required to be on the classpath. NOTE: A sample task event application can be found in the samples module of the Spring Cloud Task Project, https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples/task-events[here]. [[stream-integration-disable-task-events]] === Disabling Specific Task Events To disable task events, you can set the `spring.cloud.task.events.enabled` property to `false`. [[stream-integration-batch-events]] == Spring Batch Events When executing a Spring Batch job through a task, Spring Cloud Task can be configured to emit informational messages based on the Spring Batch listeners available in Spring Batch. Specifically, the following Spring Batch listeners are autoconfigured into each batch job and emit messages on the associated Spring Cloud Stream channels when run through Spring Cloud Task: * `JobExecutionListener` listens for `job-execution-events` * `StepExecutionListener` listens for `step-execution-events` * `ChunkListener` listens for `chunk-events` * `ItemReadListener` listens for `item-read-events` * `ItemProcessListener` listens for `item-process-events` * `ItemWriteListener` listens for `item-write-events` * `SkipListener` listens for `skip-events` These listeners are autoconfigured into any `AbstractJob` when the appropriate beans (a `Job` and a `TaskLifecycleListener`) exist in the context. Configuration to listen to these events is handled the same way binding to any other Spring Cloud Stream channel is done. Our task (the one running the batch job) serves as a `Source`, with the listening applications serving as either a `Processor` or a `Sink`. An example could be to have an application listening to the `job-execution-events` channel for the start and stop of a job. To configure the listening application, you would configure the input to be `job-execution-events` as follows: `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=job-execution-events` NOTE: A binder implementation is also required to be on the classpath. NOTE: A sample batch event application can be found in the samples module of the Spring Cloud Task Project, https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/tree/master/spring-cloud-task-samples/batch-events[here]. === Sending Batch Events to Different Channels One of the options that Spring Cloud Task offers for batch events is the ability to alter the channel to which a specific listener can emit its messages. To do so, use the following configuration: `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.<the channel>.destination=<new destination>`. For example, if `StepExecutionListener` needs to emit its messages to another channel called `my-step-execution-events` instead of the default `step-execution-events`, you can add the following configuration: `spring.cloud.stream.bindings.step-execution-events.destination=my-step-execution-events` === Disabling Batch Events To disable the listener functionality for all batch events, use the following configuration: `spring.cloud.task.batch.events.enabled=false` To disable a specific batch event, use the following configuration: `spring.cloud.task.batch.events.<batch event listener>.enabled=false`: The following listing shows individual listeners that you can disable: [source,bash]
spring.cloud.task.batch.events.job-execution.enabled=false spring.cloud.task.batch.events.step-execution.enabled=false spring.cloud.task.batch.events.chunk.enabled=false spring.cloud.task.batch.events.item-read.enabled=false spring.cloud.task.batch.events.item-process.enabled=false spring.cloud.task.batch.events.item-write.enabled=false spring.cloud.task.batch.events.skip.enabled=false
=== Emit Order for Batch Events By default, batch events have `Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE`. To change this value (for example, to 5 ), use the following configuration: [source,bash]
spring.cloud.task.batch.events.job-execution-order=5 spring.cloud.task.batch.events.step-execution-order=5 spring.cloud.task.batch.events.chunk-order=5 spring.cloud.task.batch.events.item-read-order=5 spring.cloud.task.batch.events.item-process-order=5 spring.cloud.task.batch.events.item-write-order=5 spring.cloud.task.batch.events.skip-order=5

However, when launching multiple tasks simultaneously while using SQL Server, this can cause a deadlock to occur on the `TASK_SEQ` table. The resolution is to drop the `TASK_EXECUTION_SEQ` table and create a sequence using the same name. For example: ``` DROP TABLE TASK_SEQ; CREATE SEQUENCE [DBO].[TASK_SEQ] AS BIGINT START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1; ``` NOTE: Set the `START WITH` to a higher value than your current execution id. [[appendix-building-the-documentation]] == Building This Documentation This project uses Maven to generate this documentation. To generate it for yourself, run the following command: `$ ./mvnw clean package -P full`. [[appendix-cloud-foundry]] == Running a Task App on Cloud Foundry The simplest way to launch a Spring Cloud Task application as a task on Cloud Foundry is to use Spring Cloud Data Flow. Via Spring Cloud Data Flow you can register your task application, create a definition for it and then launch it. You then can track the task execution(s) via a RESTful API, the Spring Cloud Data Flow Shell, or the UI. To learn out to get started installing Data Flow follow the instructions in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-dataflow/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#getting-started[Getting Started] section of the reference documentation.

[[new-in-3.0.0]] === New in Spring Cloud Vault 3.0 * Migration of `PropertySource` initialization from Spring Cloud's Bootstrap Context to Spring Boot's <<vault.configdata,ConfigData API>>. * Support for the <<vault.config.backends.couchbase>> backend. * Configuration of keystore/truststore types through `spring.cloud.vault.ssl.key-store-type=…`/`spring.cloud.vault.ssl.trust-store-type=…` including PEM support. * Support for `ReactiveDiscoveryClient` by configuring a `ReactiveVaultEndpointProvider`. == Quick Start :docs: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-vault/reference/html/ *Prerequisites* To get started with Vault and this guide you need a *NIX-like operating systems that provides: * `wget`, `openssl` and `unzip` * at least Java 8 and a properly configured `JAVA_HOME` environment variable NOTE: This guide explains Vault setup from a Spring Cloud Vault perspective for integration testing. You can find a getting started guide directly on the Vault project site: https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault *Install Vault* [source,bash]
$ wget releases.hashicorp.com/vault/${vault_version}/vault_${vault_version}_${platform}.zip $ unzip vault_${vault_version}_${platform}.zip
NOTE: These steps can be achieved by downloading and running https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-vault/blob/master/src/test/bash/install_vault.sh[`install_vault.sh`]. *Create SSL certificates for Vault* Next, you'r required to generate a set of certificates: * Root CA * Vault Certificate (decrypted key `work/ca/private/localhost.decrypted.key.pem` and certificate `work/ca/certs/localhost.cert.pem`) Make sure to import the Root Certificate into a Java-compliant truststore. The easiest way to achieve this is by using OpenSSL. NOTE: https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-vault/blob/master/src/test/bash/[`create_certificates.sh`] creates certificates in `work/ca` and a JKS truststore `work/keystore.jks`. If you want to run Spring Cloud Vault using this quickstart guide you need to configure the truststore the `spring.cloud.vault.ssl.trust-store` property to `file:work/keystore.jks`. [[quickstart.vault.start]] *Start Vault server* Next create a config file along the lines of: [source]
backend "inmem" { }
listener "tcp" { address = "0.0.0.0:8200" tls_cert_file = "work/ca/certs/localhost.cert.pem" tls_key_file = "work/ca/private/localhost.decrypted.key.pem" }
disable_mlock = true
NOTE: You can find an example config file at https://github.com/spring-clod/spring-cloud-vault/blob/master/src/test/bash/vault.conf[`vault.conf`]. [source,bash]
$ vault server -config=vault.conf
Vault is started listening on `0.0.0.0:8200` using the `inmem` storage and `https`. Vault is sealed and not initialized when starting up. NOTE: If you want to run tests, leave Vault uninitialized. The tests will initialize Vault and create a root token `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000`. If you want to use Vault for your application or give it a try then you need to initialize it first. [source,bash]
$ export VAULT_ADDR="https://localhost:8200" $ export VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY=true # Don’t do this for production $ vault init
You should see something like: [source,bash]
Key 1: 7149c6a2e16b8833f6eb1e76df03e47f6113a3288b3093faf5033d44f0e70fe701 Key 2: 901c534c7988c18c20435a85213c683bdcf0efcd82e38e2893779f152978c18c02 Key 3: 03ff3948575b1165a20c20ee7c3e6edf04f4cdbe0e82dbff5be49c63f98bc03a03 Key 4: 216ae5cc3ddaf93ceb8e1d15bb9fc3176653f5b738f5f3d1ee00cd7dccbe926e04 Key 5: b2898fc8130929d569c1677ee69dc5f3be57d7c4b494a6062693ce0b1c4d93d805 Initial Root Token: 19aefa97-cccc-bbbb-aaaa-225940e63d76
Vault initialized with 5 keys and a key threshold of 3. Please securely distribute the above keys. When the Vault is re-sealed, restarted, or stopped, you must provide at least 3 of these keys to unseal it again.
Vault does not store the master key. Without at least 3 keys, your Vault will remain permanently sealed.
Vault will initialize and return a set of unsealing keys and the root token. Pick 3 keys and unseal Vault. Store the Vault token in the `VAULT_TOKEN` environment variable. [source,bash]
$ vault unseal (Key 1) $ vault unseal (Key 2) $ vault unseal (Key 3) $ export VAULT_TOKEN=(Root token) # Required to run Spring Cloud Vault tests after manual initialization $ vault token-create -id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" -policy="root"
Spring Cloud Vault accesses different resources. By default, the secret backend is enabled which accesses secret config settings via JSON endpoints. The HTTP service has resources in the form:
/secret/{application}/{profile} /secret/{application} /secret/{defaultContext}/{profile} /secret/{defaultContext}
where the "application" is injected as the `spring.application.name` in the `SpringApplication` (i.e. what is normally "application" in a regular Spring Boot app), "profile" is an active profile (or comma-separated list of properties). Properties retrieved from Vault will be used "as-is" without further prefixing of the property names. == Client Side Usage To use these features in an application, just build it as a Spring Boot application that depends on `spring-cloud-vault-config` (e.g. see the test cases). Example Maven configuration: .pom.xml ==== [source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
<parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.4.0.RELEASE</version> <relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -→ </parent>

<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
<!-- repositories also needed for snapshots and milestones -→
==== Then you can create a standard Spring Boot application, like this simple HTTP server: ==== [source,java]
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello World!"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } }
==== When it runs it will pick up the external configuration from the default local Vault server on port `8200` if it is running. To modify the startup behavior you can change the location of the Vault server using `application.properties`, for example .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: host: localhost port: 8200 scheme: https uri: localhost:8200 connection-timeout: 5000 read-timeout: 15000 config: spring.config.import: vault://
==== * `host` sets the hostname of the Vault host. The host name will be used for SSL certificate validation * `port` sets the Vault port * `scheme` setting the scheme to `http` will use plain HTTP. Supported schemes are `http` and `https`. * `uri` configure the Vault endpoint with an URI. Takes precedence over host/port/scheme configuration * `connection-timeout` sets the connection timeout in milliseconds * `read-timeout` sets the read timeout in milliseconds * `spring.config.import` mounts Vault as `PropertySource` using all enabled secret backends (key-value enabled by default) Enabling further integrations requires additional dependencies and configuration. Depending on how you have set up Vault you might need additional configuration like {docs}#vault.config.ssl[SSL] and {docs}#vault.config.authentication[authentication]. If the application imports the `spring-boot-starter-actuator` project, the status of the vault server will be available via the `/health` endpoint. The vault health indicator can be enabled or disabled through the property `management.health.vault.enabled` (default to `true`). NOTE: With Spring Cloud Vault 3.0 and Spring Boot 2.4, the bootstrap context initialization (`bootstrap.yml`, `bootstrap.properties`) of property sources was deprecated. Instead, Spring Cloud Vault favors Spring Boot's Config Data API which allows importing configuration from Vault. With Spring Boot Config Data approach, you need to set the `spring.config.import` property in order to bind to Vault. You can read more about it in the <<vault.configdata.locations, Config Data Locations section>>. You can enable the bootstrap context either by setting the configuration property `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true` or by including the dependency `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap`. === Authentication Vault requires an https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/concepts/auth.html[authentication mechanism] to https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/concepts/tokens.html[authorize client requests]. Spring Cloud Vault supports multiple {docs}#vault.config.authentication[authentication mechanisms] to authenticate applications with Vault. For a quickstart, use the root token printed by the <<quickstart.vault.start,Vault initialization>>. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: token: 19aefa97-cccc-bbbb-aaaa-225940e63d76 spring.config.import: vault://
==== WARNING: Consider carefully your security requirements. Static token authentication is fine if you want quickly get started with Vault, but a static token is not protected any further. Any disclosure to unintended parties allows Vault use with the associated token roles. [[vault.configdata]] == ConfigData API Spring Boot provides since version 2.4 a ConfigData API that allows the declaration of configuration sources and importing these as property sources. Spring Cloud Vault uses as of version 3.0 the ConfigData API to mount Vault's secret backends as property sources. In previous versions, the Bootstrap context was used. The ConfigData API is much more flexible as it allows specifying which configuration systems to import and in which order. NOTE: You can enable the deprecated bootstrap context either by setting the configuration property `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true` or by including the dependency `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap`. [[vault.configdata.locations]] === ConfigData Locations You can mount Vault configuration through one or more `PropertySource` that are materialized from Vault. Spring Cloud Vault supports two config locations: * `vault://` (default location) * `vault:///<context-path>` (contextual location) Using the default location mounts property sources for all enabled <<vault.config.backends>>. Without further configuration, Spring Cloud Vault mounts the key-value backend at `/secret/${spring.application.name}`. Each activated profile adds another context path following the form `/secret/${spring.application.name}/${profile}`. Adding further modules to the classpath, such as `spring-cloud-config-databases`, provides additional secret backend configuration options which get mounted as property sources if enabled. If you want to control which context paths are mounted from Vault as `PropertySource`, you can either use a contextual location (`vault:///my/context/path`) or configure a <<vault.config.backends.configurer,`VaultConfigurer`>>. Contextual locations are specified and mounted individually. Spring Cloud Vault mounts each location as a unique `PropertySource`. You can mix the default locations with contextual locations (or other config systems) to control the order of property sources. This approach is useful in particular if you want to disable the default key-value path computation and mount each key-value backend yourself instead. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring.config.import: vault://first/context/path, vault://other/path, vault://
==== Property names within a Spring `Environment` must be unique to avoid shadowing. If you use the same secret names in different context paths and you want to expose these as individual properties you can distinguish them by adding a `prefix` query parameter to the location. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring.config.import: vault://my/path?prefix=foo., vault://my/other/path?prefix=bar. secret: ${foo.secret} other.secret: ${bar.secret}
NOTE: Prefixes are added as-is to all property names returned by Vault. If you want key names to be separated with a dot between the prefix and key name, make sure to add a trailing dot to the prefix. ==== [[vault.configdata.location.optional]] === Conditionally enable/disable Vault Configuration In some cases, it can be required to launch an application without Vault. You can express whether a Vault config location should be optional or mandatory (default) through the location string: * `optional:vault://` (default location) * `optional:vault:///<context-path>` (contextual location) Optional locations are skipped during application startup if Vault support was disabled through `spring.cloud.vault.enabled=false`. NOTE: Vault context paths that cannot be found (HTTP Status 404) are skipped regardless of whether the config location is marked optional. <<vault.config.fail-fast>> allows failing on start if a Vault context path cannot be found because of HTTP Status 404. [[vault.configdata.customization]] === Infrastructure Customization Spring Cloud Vault requires infrastructure classes to interact with Vault. When not using the ConfigData API (meaning that you haven't specified `spring.config.import=vault://` or a contextual Vault path), Spring Cloud Vault defines its beans through `VaultAutoConfiguration` and `VaultReactiveAutoConfiguration`. Spring Boot bootstraps the application before a Spring Context is available. Therefore `VaultConfigDataLoader` registers beans itself to propagate these later on into the application context. You can customize the infrastructure used by Spring Cloud Vault by registering custom instances using the `Bootstrapper` API: ==== [source,java]
InstanceSupplier<RestTemplateBuilder> builderSupplier = ctx → RestTemplateBuilder .builder() .requestFactory(ctx.get(ClientFactoryWrapper.class).getClientHttpRequestFactory()) .defaultHeader("X-Vault-Namespace", "my-namespace");
SpringApplication application = new SpringApplication(MyApplication.class); application.addBootstrapper(registry → registry.register(RestTemplateBuilder.class, builderSupplier));
==== See also <<vault.config.backends.configurer>> and the source of `VaultConfigDataLoader` for customization hooks. [[vault.config.authentication]] == Authentication methods Different organizations have different requirements for security and authentication. Vault reflects that need by shipping multiple authentication methods. Spring Cloud Vault supports token and AppId authentication. [[vault.config.authentication.token]] === Token authentication Tokens are the core method for authentication within Vault. Token authentication requires a static token to be provided using the configuration. As a fallback, the token may also be retrieved from `~/.vault-token` which is the default location used by the Vault CLI to cache tokens. NOTE: Token authentication is the default authentication method. If a token is disclosed an unintended party gains access to Vault and can access secrets for the intended client. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: TOKEN token: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
==== * `authentication` setting this value to `TOKEN` selects the Token authentication method * `token` sets the static token to use. If missing or empty, then an attempt will be made to retrieve a token from ~/.vault-token. See also: * https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/concepts/tokens.html[Vault Documentation: Tokens] * https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/commands/login[Vault Documentation: CLI login] * https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/commands/token-helper[Vault Documentation: CLI default to ~/.vault-token] [[vault.config.authentication.vault-agent]] === Vault Agent authentication Vault ships a sidecar utility with Vault Agent since version 0.11.0. Vault Agent implements the functionality of Spring Vault's `SessionManager` with its Auto-Auth feature. Applications can reuse cached session credentials by relying on Vault Agent running on `localhost`. Spring Vault can send requests without the `X-Vault-Token` header. Disable Spring Vault's authentication infrastructure to disable client authentication and session management. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: NONE
==== * `authentication` setting this value to `NONE` disables `ClientAuthentication` and `SessionManager`. See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/agent/index.html[Vault Documentation: Agent] [[vault.config.authentication.appid]] === AppId authentication Vault supports https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/app-id.html[AppId] authentication that consists of two hard to guess tokens. The AppId defaults to `spring.application.name` that is statically configured. The second token is the UserId which is a part determined by the application, usually related to the runtime environment. IP address, Mac address or a Docker container name are good examples. Spring Cloud Vault Config supports IP address, Mac address and static UserId's (e.g. supplied via System properties). The IP and Mac address are represented as Hex-encoded SHA256 hash. IP address-based UserId's use the local host's IP address. .application.yml using SHA256 IP-Address UserId's ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: APPID app-id: user-id: IP_ADDRESS
==== * `authentication` setting this value to `APPID` selects the AppId authentication method * `app-id-path` sets the path of the AppId mount to use * `user-id` sets the UserId method. Possible values are `IP_ADDRESS`, `MAC_ADDRESS` or a class name implementing a custom `AppIdUserIdMechanism` The corresponding command to generate the IP address UserId from a command line is:
$ echo -n 192.168.99.1 | sha256sum
NOTE: Including the line break of `echo` leads to a different hash value so make sure to include the `-n` flag. Mac address-based UserId's obtain their network device from the localhost-bound device. The configuration also allows specifying a `network-interface` hint to pick the right device. The value of `network-interface` is optional and can be either an interface name or interface index (0-based). .application.yml using SHA256 Mac-Address UserId's ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: APPID app-id: user-id: MAC_ADDRESS network-interface: eth0
==== * `network-interface` sets network interface to obtain the physical address The corresponding command to generate the IP address UserId from a command line is:
$ echo -n 0AFEDE1234AC | sha256sum
NOTE: The Mac address is specified uppercase and without colons. Including the line break of `echo` leads to a different hash value so make sure to include the `-n` flag. ==== Custom UserId The UserId generation is an open mechanism. You can set `spring.cloud.vault.app-id.user-id` to any string and the configured value will be used as static UserId. A more advanced approach lets you set `spring.cloud.vault.app-id.user-id` to a classname. This class must be on your classpath and must implement the `org.springframework.cloud.vault.AppIdUserIdMechanism` interface and the `createUserId` method. Spring Cloud Vault will obtain the UserId by calling `createUserId` each time it authenticates using AppId to obtain a token. .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: APPID app-id: user-id: com.examlple.MyUserIdMechanism
==== .MyUserIdMechanism.java ==== [source,yaml]
public class MyUserIdMechanism implements AppIdUserIdMechanism {
@Override public String createUserId() { String userId = ... return userId; } }
==== See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/app-id.html[Vault Documentation: Using the App ID auth backend] === AppRole authentication https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/app-id.html[AppRole] is intended for machine authentication, like the deprecated (since Vault 0.6.1) <<vault.config.authentication.appid>>. AppRole authentication consists of two hard to guess (secret) tokens: RoleId and SecretId. Spring Vault supports various AppRole scenarios (push/pull mode and wrapped). RoleId and optionally SecretId must be provided by configuration, Spring Vault will not look up these or create a custom SecretId. .application.yml with AppRole authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: APPROLE app-role: role-id: bde2076b-cccb-3cf0-d57e-bca7b1e83a52
==== The following scenarios are supported along the required configuration details: .Configuration |=== | *Method* | *RoleId* | *SecretId*| *RoleName* | *Token* | Provided RoleId/SecretId | Provided | Provided | | | Provided RoleId without SecretId | Provided | | | | Provided RoleId, Pull SecretId | Provided | Provided | Provided | Provided | Pull RoleId, provided SecretId | | Provided | Provided | Provided | Full Pull Mode | | | Provided | Provided | Wrapped | | | | Provided | Wrapped RoleId, provided SecretId | Provided | | | Provided | Provided RoleId, wrapped SecretId | | Provided | | Provided |=== .Pull/Push/Wrapped Matrix |=== | *RoleId* | *SecretId* | *Supported* | Provided | Provided | ✅ | Provided | Pull | ✅ | Provided | Wrapped | ✅ | Provided | Absent | ✅ | Pull | Provided | ✅ | Pull | Pull | ✅ | Pull | Wrapped | ❌ | Pull | Absent | ❌ | Wrapped | Provided | ✅ | Wrapped | Pull | ❌ | Wrapped | Wrapped | ✅ | Wrapped | Absent | ❌ |=== NOTE: You can use still all combinations of push/pull/wrapped modes by providing a configured `AppRoleAuthentication` bean within the context. Spring Cloud Vault cannot derive all possible AppRole combinations from the configuration properties. IMPORTANT: AppRole authentication is limited to simple pull mode using reactive infrastructure. Full pull mode is not yet supported. Using Spring Cloud Vault with the Spring WebFlux stack enables Vault's reactive auto-configuration which can be disabled by setting `spring.cloud.vault.reactive.enabled=false`. .application.yml with all AppRole authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: APPROLE app-role: role-id: bde2076b-cccb-3cf0-d57e-bca7b1e83a52 secret-id: 1696536f-1976-73b1-b241-0b4213908d39 role: my-role app-role-path: approle
==== * `role-id` sets the RoleId. * `secret-id` sets the SecretId. SecretId can be omitted if AppRole is configured without requiring SecretId (See `bind_secret_id`). * `role`: sets the AppRole name for pull mode. * `app-role-path` sets the path of the approle authentication mount to use. See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/approle.html[Vault Documentation: Using the AppRole auth backend] [[vault.config.authentication.awsec2]] === AWS-EC2 authentication The https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/aws-ec2.html[aws-ec2] auth backend provides a secure introduction mechanism for AWS EC2 instances, allowing automated retrieval of a Vault token. Unlike most Vault authentication backends, this backend does not require first-deploying, or provisioning security-sensitive credentials (tokens, username/password, client certificates, etc.). Instead, it treats AWS as a Trusted Third Party and uses the cryptographically signed dynamic metadata information that uniquely represents each EC2 instance. .application.yml using AWS-EC2 Authentication ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: AWS_EC2
==== AWS-EC2 authentication enables nonce by default to follow the Trust On First Use (TOFU) principle. Any unintended party that gains access to the PKCS#7 identity metadata can authenticate against Vault. During the first login, Spring Cloud Vault generates a nonce that is stored in the auth backend aside the instance Id. Re-authentication requires the same nonce to be sent. Any other party does not have the nonce and can raise an alert in Vault for further investigation. The nonce is kept in memory and is lost during application restart. You can configure a static nonce with `spring.cloud.vault.aws-ec2.nonce`. AWS-EC2 authentication roles are optional and default to the AMI. You can configure the authentication role by setting the `spring.cloud.vault.aws-ec2.role` property. .application.yml with configured role ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: AWS_EC2 aws-ec2: role: application-server
==== .application.yml with all AWS EC2 authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: AWS_EC2 aws-ec2: role: application-server aws-ec2-path: aws-ec2 identity-document: …; nonce: my-static-nonce
==== * `authentication` setting this value to `AWS_EC2` selects the AWS EC2 authentication method * `role` sets the name of the role against which the login is being attempted. * `aws-ec2-path` sets the path of the AWS EC2 mount to use * `identity-document` sets URL of the PKCS#7 AWS EC2 identity document * `nonce` used for AWS-EC2 authentication. An empty nonce defaults to nonce generation See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/aws.html[Vault Documentation: Using the aws auth backend] [[vault.config.authentication.awsiam]] === AWS-IAM authentication The https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/aws-ec2.html[aws] backend provides a secure authentication mechanism for AWS IAM roles, allowing the automatic authentication with vault based on the current IAM role of the running application. Unlike most Vault authentication backends, this backend does not require first-deploying, or provisioning security-sensitive credentials (tokens, username/password, client certificates, etc.). Instead, it treats AWS as a Trusted Third Party and uses the 4 pieces of information signed by the caller with their IAM credentials to verify that the caller is indeed using that IAM role. The current IAM role the application is running in is automatically calculated. If you are running your application on AWS ECS then the application will use the IAM role assigned to the ECS task of the running container. If you are running your application naked on top of an EC2 instance then the IAM role used will be the one assigned to the EC2 instance. When using the AWS-IAM authentication you must create a role in Vault and assign it to your IAM role. An empty `role` defaults to the friendly name the current IAM role. .application.yml with required AWS-IAM Authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: AWS_IAM
==== .application.yml with all AWS-IAM Authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: authentication: AWS_IAM aws-iam: role: my-dev-role aws-path: aws server-name: some.server.name endpoint-uri: sts.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
==== * `role` sets the name of the role against which the login is being attempted. This should be bound to your IAM role. If one is not supplied then the friendly name of the current IAM user will be used as the vault role. * `aws-path` sets the path of the AWS mount to use * `server-name` sets the value to use for the `X-Vault-AWS-IAM-Server-ID` header preventing certain types of replay attacks. * `endpoint-uri` sets the value to use for the AWS STS API used for the `iam_request_url` parameter. AWS-IAM requires the AWS Java SDK dependency (`com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-core`) as the authentication implementation uses AWS SDK types for credentials and request signing. See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/aws.html[Vault Documentation: Using the aws auth backend] [[vault.config.authentication.azuremsi]] === Azure MSI authentication The https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/azure.html[azure] auth backend provides a secure introduction mechanism for Azure VM instances, allowing automated retrieval of a Vault token. Unlike most Vault authentication backends, this backend does not require first-deploying, or provisioning security-sensitive credentials (tokens, username/password, client certificates, etc.). Instead, it treats Azure as a Trusted Third Party and uses the managed service identity and instance metadata information that can be bound to a VM instance. .application.yml with required Azure Authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]

==== * `role` sets the name of the role against which the login is being attempted. * `azure-path` sets the path of the Azure mount to use * `metadata-service` sets the URI at which to access the instance metadata service * `identity-token-service` sets the URI at which to access the identity token service Azure MSI authentication obtains environmental details about the virtual machine (subscription Id, resource group, VM name) from the instance metadata service. The Vault server has Resource Id defaults to `https://vault.hashicorp.com`. To change this, set `spring.cloud.vault.azure-msi.identity-token-service` accordingly.

To enable `cert` authentication you need to: 1. Use SSL, see <<vault.config.ssl>> 2. Configure a Java `Keystore` that contains the client certificate and the private key 3. Set the `spring.cloud.vault.authentication` to `CERT` .application.yml ==== [source,yaml]

Cubbyhole authentication uses tokens as primary login method. An ephemeral token is used to obtain a second, login VaultToken from Vault's Cubbyhole secret backend. The login token is usually longer-lived and used to interact with Vault. The login token will be retrieved from a wrapped response stored at `/cubbyhole/response`. *Creating a wrapped token* NOTE: Response Wrapping for token creation requires Vault 0.6.0 or higher. .Creating and storing tokens ==== [source,shell]

GCP GCE (Google Compute Engine) authentication creates a signature in the form of a JSON Web Token (JWT) for a service account. A JWT for a Compute Engine instance is obtained from the GCE metadata service using https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/verifying-instance-identity[Instance identification]. This API creates a JSON Web Token that can be used to confirm the instance identity. Unlike most Vault authentication backends, this backend does not require first-deploying, or provisioning security-sensitive credentials (tokens, username/password, client certificates, etc.). Instead, it treats GCP as a Trusted Third Party and uses the cryptographically signed dynamic metadata information that uniquely represents each GCP service account. .application.yml with required GCP-GCE Authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]

GCP IAM authentication creates a signature in the form of a JSON Web Token (JWT) for a service account. A JWT for a service account is obtained by calling GCP IAM's https://cloud.google.com/iam/reference/rest/v1/projects.serviceAccounts/signJwt[`projects.serviceAccounts.signJwt`] API. The caller authenticates against GCP IAM and proves thereby its identity. This Vault backend treats GCP as a Trusted Third Party. IAM credentials can be obtained from either the runtime environment , specifically the https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production[`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`] environment variable, the Google Compute metadata service, or supplied externally as e.g. JSON or base64 encoded. JSON is the preferred form as it carries the project id and service account identifier required for calling ``projects.serviceAccounts.signJwt``. .application.yml with required GCP-IAM Authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]

==== * `role` sets the name of the role against which the login is being attempted. * `credentials.location` path to the credentials resource that contains Google credentials in JSON format. * `credentials.encoded-key` the base64 encoded contents of an OAuth2 account private key in the JSON format. * `gcp-path` sets the path of the GCP mount to use * `jwt-validity` configures the JWT token validity. Defaults to 15 minutes. * `project-id` allows overriding the project Id to a specific value. Defaults to the project Id from the obtained credential. * `service-account` allows overriding the service account Id to a specific value. Defaults to the service account from the obtained credential. GCP IAM authentication requires the Google Cloud Java SDK dependency (`com.google.apis:google-api-services-iam` and `com.google.auth:google-auth-library-oauth2-http`) as the authentication implementation uses Google APIs for credentials and JWT signing. NOTE: Google credentials require an OAuth 2 token maintaining the token lifecycle. All API is synchronous therefore, `GcpIamAuthentication` does not support `AuthenticationSteps` which is required for reactive usage.

Unlike most Vault authentication backends, this backend does not require first-deploying, or provisioning security-sensitive credentials (tokens, username/password, client certificates, etc.) as identity provisioning is handled by PCF itself. Instead, it treats PCF as a Trusted Third Party and uses the managed instance identity. .application.yml with required PCF Authentication properties ==== [source,yaml]

The key-value backend allows storage of arbitrary values as key-value store. A single context can store one or many key-value tuples. Contexts can be organized hierarchically. Spring Cloud Vault determines itself whether a secret is using versioning and maps the path to its appropriate URL. Spring Cloud Vault allows using the Application name, and a default context name (`application`) in combination with active profiles.
/secret/{application}/{profile} /secret/{application} /secret/{default-context}/{profile} /secret/{default-context}
The application name is determined by the properties: * `spring.cloud.vault.kv.application-name` * `spring.cloud.vault.application-name` * `spring.application.name` The profiles are determined by the properties: * `spring.cloud.vault.kv.profiles` * `spring.profiles.active` Secrets can be obtained from other contexts within the key-value backend by adding their paths to the application name, separated by commas. For example, given the application name `usefulapp,mysql1,projectx/aws`, each of these folders will be used: * `/secret/usefulapp` * `/secret/mysql1` * `/secret/projectx/aws` Spring Cloud Vault adds all active profiles to the list of possible context paths. No active profiles will skip accessing contexts with a profile name. Properties are exposed like they are stored (i.e. without additional prefixes). NOTE: Spring Cloud Vault adds the `data/` context between the mount path and the actual context path depending on whether the mount uses the versioned key-value backend. ==== [source,yaml]

See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/secrets/aws/index.html[Vault Documentation: Setting up AWS with Vault] [[vault.config.backends.database-backends]] == Database backends Vault supports several database secret backends to generate database credentials dynamically based on configured roles. This means services that need to access a database no longer need to configure credentials: they can request them from Vault, and use Vault's leasing mechanism to more easily roll keys. Spring Cloud Vault integrates with these backends: * <<vault.config.backends.database>> * <<vault.config.backends.cassandra>> * <<vault.config.backends.couchbase>> * <<vault.config.backends.elasticsearch>> * <<vault.config.backends.mongodb>> * <<vault.config.backends.mysql>> * <<vault.config.backends.postgresql>> Using a database secret backend requires to enable the backend in the configuration and the `spring-cloud-vault-config-databases` dependency. Vault ships since 0.7.1 with a dedicated `database` secret backend that allows database integration via plugins. You can use that specific backend by using the generic database backend. Make sure to specify the appropriate backend path, e.g. `spring.cloud.vault.mysql.role.backend=database`. .pom.xml ==== [source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-vault-config-databases</artifactId> <version>3.1.0-M3</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
==== NOTE: Enabling multiple JDBC-compliant databases will generate credentials and store them by default in the same property keys hence property names for JDBC secrets need to be configured separately. [[vault.config.backends.database]] === Database Spring Cloud Vault can obtain credentials for any database listed at https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/databases/index.html. The integration can be enabled by setting `spring.cloud.vault.database.enabled=true` (default `false`) and providing the role name with `spring.cloud.vault.database.role=…`. While the database backend is a generic one, `spring.cloud.vault.database` specifically targets JDBC databases. Username and password are available from `spring.datasource.username` and `spring.datasource.password` properties so using Spring Boot will pick up the generated credentials for your `DataSource` without further configuration. You can configure the property names by setting `spring.cloud.vault.database.username-property` and `spring.cloud.vault.database.password-property`. ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: database: enabled: true role: readonly backend: database username-property: spring.datasource.username password-property: spring.datasource.password

Discovered backends provide `VaultSecretBackendDescriptor` beans to describe the configuration state to use secret backend as `PropertySource`. A `SecretBackendMetadataFactory` is required to create a `SecretBackendMetadata` object which contains path, name and property transformation configuration. `SecretBackendMetadata` is used to back a particular `PropertySource`. You can register a `VaultConfigurer` for customization. Default key-value and discovered backend registration is disabled if you provide a `VaultConfigurer`. You can however enable default registration with `SecretBackendConfigurer.registerDefaultKeyValueSecretBackends()` and `SecretBackendConfigurer.registerDefaultDiscoveredSecretBackends()`. ==== [source,java]
public class CustomizationBean implements VaultConfigurer {
@Override public void addSecretBackends(SecretBackendConfigurer configurer) {
configurer.add("secret/my-application");
configurer.registerDefaultKeyValueSecretBackends(false); configurer.registerDefaultDiscoveredSecretBackends(true); } }
[source,java]
SpringApplication application = new SpringApplication(MyApplication.class); application.addBootstrapper(VaultBootstrapper.fromConfigurer(new CustomizationBean()));
==== [[vault.config.backends.custom]] == Custom Secret Backend Implementations Spring Cloud Vault ships with secret backend support for the most common backend integrations. You can integrate with any kind of backend by providing an implementation that describes how to obtain data from the backend you want to use and how to surface data provided by that backend by providing a `PropertyTransformer`. Adding a custom implementation for a backend requires implementation of two interfaces: * `org.springframework.cloud.vault.config.VaultSecretBackendDescriptor` * `org.springframework.cloud.vault.config.SecretBackendMetadataFactory` `VaultSecretBackendDescriptor` is typically an object that holds configuration data, such as `VaultDatabaseProperties`. Spring Cloud Vault requires that your type is annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties` to materialize the class from the configuration. `SecretBackendMetadataFactory` accepts `VaultSecretBackendDescriptor` to create the actual `SecretBackendMetadata` object which holds the context path within your Vault server, any path variables required to resolve parametrized context paths and `PropertyTransformer`. Both, `VaultSecretBackendDescriptor` and `SecretBackendMetadataFactory` types must be registered in `spring.factories` which is an extension mechanism provided by Spring, similar to Java's ServiceLoader. == Service Registry Configuration You can use a `DiscoveryClient` (such as from Spring Cloud Consul) to locate a Vault server by setting spring.cloud.vault.discovery.enabled=true (default `false`). The net result of that is that your apps need a application.yml (or an environment variable) with the appropriate discovery configuration. The benefit is that the Vault can change its co-ordinates, as long as the discovery service is a fixed point. The default service id is `vault` but you can change that on the client with `spring.cloud.vault.discovery.serviceId`. The discovery client implementations all support some kind of metadata map (e.g. for Eureka we have eureka.instance.metadataMap). Some additional properties of the service may need to be configured in its service registration metadata so that clients can connect correctly. Service registries that do not provide details about transport layer security need to provide a `scheme` metadata entry to be set either to `https` or `http`. If no scheme is configured and the service is not exposed as secure service, then configuration defaults to `spring.cloud.vault.scheme` which is `https` when it's not set. ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault.discovery: enabled: true service-id: my-vault-service
==== [[vault.config.fail-fast]] == Vault Client Fail Fast In some cases, it may be desirable to fail startup of a service if it cannot connect to the Vault Server. If this is the desired behavior, set the bootstrap configuration property `spring.cloud.vault.fail-fast=true` and the client will halt with an Exception. ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: fail-fast: true
==== [[vault.config.namespaces]] == Vault Enterprise Namespace Support Vault Enterprise allows using namespaces to isolate multiple Vaults on a single Vault server. Configuring a namespace by setting `spring.cloud.vault.namespace=…` enables the namespace header `X-Vault-Namespace` on every outgoing HTTP request when using the Vault `RestTemplate` or `WebClient`. Please note that this feature is not supported by Vault Community edition and has no effect on Vault operations. ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: namespace: my-namespace
==== See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/enterprise/namespaces/index.html[Vault Enterprise: Namespaces] [[vault.config.ssl]] == Vault Client SSL configuration SSL can be configured declaratively by setting various properties. You can set either `javax.net.ssl.trustStore` to configure JVM-wide SSL settings or `spring.cloud.vault.ssl.trust-store` to set SSL settings only for Spring Cloud Vault Config. ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: ssl: trust-store: classpath:keystore.jks trust-store-password: changeit trust-store-type: JKS enabled-protocols: TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3 enabled-cipher-suites: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
==== * `trust-store` sets the resource for the trust-store. SSL-secured Vault communication will validate the Vault SSL certificate with the specified trust-store. * `trust-store-password` sets the trust-store password * `trust-store-type` sets the trust-store type. Supported values are all supported `KeyStore` types including `PEM`. * `enabled-protocols` sets the list of enabled SSL/TLS protocols (since 3.0.2). * `enabled-cipher-suites` sets the list of enabled SSL/TLS cipher suites (since 3.0.2). Please note that configuring `spring.cloud.vault.ssl.*` can be only applied when either Apache Http Components or the OkHttp client is on your class-path. [[vault-lease-renewal]] == Lease lifecycle management (renewal and revocation) With every secret, Vault creates a lease: metadata containing information such as a time duration, renewability, and more. Vault promises that the data will be valid for the given duration, or Time To Live (TTL). Once the lease is expired, Vault can revoke the data, and the consumer of the secret can no longer be certain that it is valid. Spring Cloud Vault maintains a lease lifecycle beyond the creation of login tokens and secrets. That said, login tokens and secrets associated with a lease are scheduled for renewal just before the lease expires until terminal expiry. Application shutdown revokes obtained login tokens and renewable leases. Secret service and database backends (such as MongoDB or MySQL) usually generate a renewable lease so generated credentials will be disabled on application shutdown. NOTE: Static tokens are not renewed or revoked. Lease renewal and revocation is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting `spring.cloud.vault.config.lifecycle.enabled` to `false`. This is not recommended as leases can expire and Spring Cloud Vault cannot longer access Vault or services using generated credentials and valid credentials remain active after application shutdown. ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: config.lifecycle: enabled: true min-renewal: 10s expiry-threshold: 1m lease-endpoints: Legacy
==== * `enabled` controls whether leases associated with secrets are considered to be renewed and expired secrets are rotated. Enabled by default. * `min-renewal` sets the duration that is at least required before renewing a lease. This setting prevents renewals from happening too often. * `expiry-threshold` sets the expiry threshold. A lease is renewed the configured period of time before it expires. * `lease-endpoints` sets the endpoints for renew and revoke. Legacy for vault versions before 0.8 and SysLeases for later. See also: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/concepts/lease.html[Vault Documentation: Lease, Renew, and Revoke] [[vault-session-lifecycle]] == Session token lifecycle management (renewal, re-login and revocation) A Vault session token (also referred to as `LoginToken`) is quite similar to a lease as it has a TTL, max TTL, and may expire. Once a login token expires, it cannot be used anymore to interact with Vault. Therefore, Spring Vault ships with a `SessionManager` API for imperative and reactive use. Spring Cloud Vault maintains the session token lifecycle by default. Session tokens are obtained lazily so the actual login is deferred until the first session-bound use of Vault. Once Spring Cloud Vault obtains a session token, it retains it until expiry. The next time a session-bound activity is used, Spring Cloud Vault re-logins into Vault and obtains a new session token. On application shut down, Spring Cloud Vault revokes the token if it was still active to terminate the session. Session lifecycle is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting `spring.cloud.vault.session.lifecycle.enabled` to `false`. Disabling is not recommended as session tokens can expire and Spring Cloud Vault cannot longer access Vault. ==== [source,yaml]
spring.cloud.vault: session.lifecycle: enabled: true refresh-before-expiry: 10s expiry-threshold: 20s
==== * `enabled` controls whether session lifecycle management is enabled to renew session tokens. Enabled by default. * `refresh-before-expiry` controls the point in time when the session token gets renewed. The refresh time is calculated by subtracting `refresh-before-expiry` from the token expiry time. Defaults to `5 seconds`. * `expiry-threshold` sets the expiry threshold. The threshold represents a minimum TTL duration to consider a session token as valid. Tokens with a shorter TTL are considered expired and are not used anymore. Should be greater than `refresh-before-expiry` to prevent token expiry. Defaults to `7 seconds`.

The provided patterns include Service Discovery and Configuration. The project also provides client-side load-balancing via integration with Spring Cloud LoadBalancer. :doctype: book :idprefix: :idseparator: - :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :tabsize: 4 :numbered: :sectanchors: :sectnums: :icons: font :hide-uri-scheme: :docinfo: shared,private :sc-ext: java :project-full-name: Spring Cloud Zookeeper == Quick Start This quick start walks through using Spring Cloud Zookeeper for Service Discovery and Distributed Configuration. First, run Zookeeper on your machine. Then you can access it and use it as a Service Registry and Configuration source with Spring Cloud Zookeeper. === Discovery Client Usage To use these features in an application, you can build it as a Spring Boot application that depends on `spring-cloud-zookeeper-core` and `spring-cloud-zookeeper-discovery`. The most convenient way to add the dependency is with a Spring Boot starter: `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-discovery`. We recommend using dependency management and `spring-boot-starter-parent`. The following example shows a typical Maven configuration: [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml
<project> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.6.0-M3</version> <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -→ </parent>
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-discovery</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId> <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
The following example shows a typical Gradle setup: [source,groovy,indent=0] .build.gradle
plugins { id 'org.springframework.boot' version $2.6.0-M3 id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version ${spring-dependency-management-version} id 'java' }
repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies { implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-discovery' testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test' } dependencyManagement { imports { mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}" } }
WARNING: Depending on the version you are using, you might need to adjust Apache Zookeeper version used in your project. You can read more about it in the <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-install,Install Zookeeper section>>. Now you can create a standard Spring Boot application, such as the following HTTP server:
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@GetMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello World!"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); }
}
When this HTTP server runs, it connects to Zookeeper, which runs on the default local port (2181). To modify the startup behavior, you can change the location of Zookeeper by using `application.properties`, as shown in the following example:
spring: cloud: zookeeper: connect-string: localhost:2181
You can now use `DiscoveryClient`, `@LoadBalanced RestTemplate`, or `@LoadBalanced WebClient.Builder` to retrieve services and instances data from Zookeeper, as shown in the following example: [source,java,indent=0]
@Autowired private DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;
public String serviceUrl() { List<ServiceInstance> list = discoveryClient.getInstances("STORES"); if (list != null && list.size() > 0 ) { return list.get(0).getUri().toString(); } return null; }
=== Distributed Configuration Usage To use these features in an application, you can build it as a Spring Boot application that depends on `spring-cloud-zookeeper-core` and `spring-cloud-zookeeper-config`. The most convenient way to add the dependency is with a Spring Boot starter: `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-config`. We recommend using dependency management and `spring-boot-starter-parent`. The following example shows a typical Maven configuration: [source,xml,indent=0] .pom.xml

WARNING: Depending on the version you are using, you might need to adjust Apache Zookeeper version used in your project. You can read more about it in the <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-install,Install Zookeeper section>>. Now you can create a standard Spring Boot application, such as the following HTTP server:
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@GetMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello World!"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); }
}
The application retrieves configuration data from Zookeeper. WARNING: If you use Spring Cloud Zookeeper Config, you need to set the `spring.config.import` property in order to bind to Zookeeper. You can read more about it in the <<config-data-import,Spring Boot Config Data Import section>>. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-install]] == Install Zookeeper See the https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperStarted.html[installation documentation] for instructions on how to install Zookeeper. Spring Cloud Zookeeper uses Apache Curator behind the scenes. While Zookeeper 3.5.x is still considered "beta" by the Zookeeper development team, the reality is that it is used in production by many users. However, Zookeeper 3.4.x is also used in production. Prior to Apache Curator 4.0, both versions of Zookeeper were supported via two versions of Apache Curator. Starting with Curator 4.0 both versions of Zookeeper are supported via the same Curator libraries. In case you are integrating with version 3.4 you need to change the Zookeeper dependency that comes shipped with `curator`, and thus `spring-cloud-zookeeper`. To do so simply exclude that dependency and add the 3.4.x version like shown below. .maven [source,xml,indent=0]
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-all</artifactId> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.apache.zookeeper</groupId> <artifactId>zookeeper</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.zookeeper</groupId> <artifactId>zookeeper</artifactId> <version>3.4.12</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>

compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-all') { exclude group: 'org.apache.zookeeper', module: 'zookeeper' } compile('org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper:3.4.12') { exclude group: 'org.slf4j', module: 'slf4j-log4j12' }
[[spring-cloud-zookeeper-discovery]] == Service Discovery with Zookeeper Service Discovery is one of the key tenets of a microservice based architecture. Trying to hand-configure each client or some form of convention can be difficult to do and can be brittle. https://curator.apache.org[Curator](A Java library for Zookeeper) provides Service Discovery through a https://curator.apache.org/curator-x-discovery/[Service Discovery Extension]. Spring Cloud Zookeeper uses this extension for service registration and discovery. === Activating Including a dependency on `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-discovery` enables autoconfiguration that sets up Spring Cloud Zookeeper Discovery. NOTE: For web functionality, you still need to include `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web`. CAUTION: When working with version 3.4 of Zookeeper you need to change the way you include the dependency as described <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-install,here>>. === Registering with Zookeeper When a client registers with Zookeeper, it provides metadata (such as host and port, ID, and name) about itself. The following example shows a Zookeeper client: [source,java,indent=0]
@SpringBootApplication @RestController public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/") public String home() { return "Hello world"; }
public static void main(String[] args) { new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class).web(true).run(args); }
}
NOTE: The preceding example is a normal Spring Boot application. If Zookeeper is located somewhere other than `localhost:2181`, the configuration must provide the location of the server, as shown in the following example: [source,yml,indent=0] .application.yml
spring: cloud: zookeeper: connect-string: localhost:2181
CAUTION: If you use <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-config,Spring Cloud Zookeeper Config>>, the values shown in the preceding example need to be in `bootstrap.yml` instead of `application.yml`. The default service name, instance ID, and port (taken from the `Environment`) are `${spring.application.name}`, the Spring Context ID, and `${server.port}`, respectively. Having `spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-discovery` on the classpath makes the app into both a Zookeeper "`service`" (that is, it registers itself) and a "`client`" (that is, it can query Zookeeper to locate other services). If you would like to disable the Zookeeper Discovery Client, you can set `spring.cloud.zookeeper.discovery.enabled` to `false`. === Using the DiscoveryClient Spring Cloud has support for https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/spring-cloud-netflix.adoc#spring-cloud-feign[Feign] (a REST client builder), https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/master/docs/src/main/ascii[Spring `RestTemplate`] and https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/reference/html/#loadbalanced-webclient[Spring WebFlux], using logical service names instead of physical URLs. You can also use the `org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.DiscoveryClient`, which provides a simple API for discovery clients that is not specific to Netflix, as shown in the following example: [source,java,indent=0]
@Autowired private DiscoveryClient discoveryClient;
public String serviceUrl() { List<ServiceInstance> list = discoveryClient.getInstances("STORES"); if (list != null && list.size() > 0 ) { return list.get(0).getUri().toString(); } return null; }
[[spring-cloud-zookeeper-other-componentes]] == Using Spring Cloud Zookeeper with Spring Cloud Components Feign, Spring Cloud Gateway and Spring Cloud LoadBalancer all work with Spring Cloud Zookeeper. === Spring Cloud LoadBalancer with Zookeeper Spring Cloud Zookeeper provides an implementation of Spring Cloud LoadBalancer `ServiceInstanceListSupplier`. When you use the `spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-discovery`, Spring Cloud LoadBalancer is autoconfigured to use the `ZookeeperServiceInstanceListSupplier` by default. TIP: If you were previously using the StickyRule in Zookeeper, its replacement in the current stack is the `SameInstancePreferenceServiceInstanceListSupplier` in SC LoadBalancer. You can read on how to set it up in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#spring-cloud-loadbalancer[Spring Cloud Commons documentation]. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-service-registry]] == Spring Cloud Zookeeper and Service Registry Spring Cloud Zookeeper implements the `ServiceRegistry` interface, letting developers register arbitrary services in a programmatic way. The `ServiceInstanceRegistration` class offers a `builder()` method to create a `Registration` object that can be used by the `ServiceRegistry`, as shown in the following example: [source,java,indent=0]
@Autowired private ZookeeperServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;
public void registerThings() { ZookeeperRegistration registration = ServiceInstanceRegistration.builder() .defaultUriSpec() .address("anyUrl") .port(10) .name("/a/b/c/d/anotherservice") .build(); this.serviceRegistry.register(registration); }
=== Instance Status Netflix Eureka supports having instances that are `OUT_OF_SERVICE` registered with the server. These instances are not returned as active service instances. This is useful for behaviors such as blue/green deployments. (Note that the Curator Service Discovery recipe does not support this behavior.) Taking advantage of the flexible payload has let Spring Cloud Zookeeper implement `OUT_OF_SERVICE` by updating some specific metadata and then filtering on that metadata in the Spring Cloud LoadBalancer `ZookeeperServiceInstanceListSupplier`. The `ZookeeperServiceInstanceListSupplier` filters out all non-null instance statuses that do not equal `UP`. If the instance status field is empty, it is considered to be `UP` for backwards compatibility. To change the status of an instance, make a `POST` with `OUT_OF_SERVICE` to the `ServiceRegistry` instance status actuator endpoint, as shown in the following example: [source,sh,indent=0]
$ http POST localhost:8081/service-registry status=OUT_OF_SERVICE
NOTE: The preceding example uses the `http` command from https://httpie.org. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies]] == Zookeeper Dependencies The following topics cover how to work with Spring Cloud Zookeeper dependencies: * <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-using>> * <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-activating>> * <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-setting-up>> * <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-configuring>> [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-using]] === Using the Zookeeper Dependencies Spring Cloud Zookeeper gives you a possibility to provide dependencies of your application as properties. As dependencies, you can understand other applications that are registered in Zookeeper and which you would like to call through https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/spring-cloud-netflix.adoc#spring-cloud-feign[Feign] (a REST client builder), https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/master/docs/src/main/ascii[Spring `RestTemplate`] and https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/reference/html/#loadbalanced-webclient[Spring WebFlux]. You can also use the Zookeeper Dependency Watchers functionality to control and monitor the state of your dependencies. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-activating]] === Activating Zookeeper Dependencies Including a dependency on `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-discovery` enables autoconfiguration that sets up Spring Cloud Zookeeper Dependencies. Even if you provide the dependencies in your properties, you can turn off the dependencies. To do so, set the `spring.cloud.zookeeper.dependency.enabled` property to false (it defaults to `true`). [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-setting-up]] === Setting up Zookeeper Dependencies Consider the following example of dependency representation: [source,yml,indent=0] .application.yml
spring.application.name: yourServiceName spring.cloud.zookeeper: dependencies: newsletter: path: /path/where/newsletter/has/registered/in/zookeeper loadBalancerType: ROUND_ROBIN contentTypeTemplate: application/vnd.newsletter.$version+json version: v1 headers: header1: - value1 header2: - value2 required: false stubs: org.springframework:foo:stubs mailing: path: /path/where/mailing/has/registered/in/zookeeper loadBalancerType: ROUND_ROBIN contentTypeTemplate: application/vnd.mailing.$version+json version: v1 required: true
The next few sections go through each part of the dependency one by one. The root property name is `spring.cloud.zookeeper.dependencies`. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-setting-up-aliases]] ==== Aliases Below the root property you have to represent each dependency as an alias. This is due to the constraints of Spring Cloud LoadBalancer, which requires that the application ID be placed in the URL. Consequently, you cannot pass any complex path, suchas `/myApp/myRoute/name`). The alias is the name you use instead of the `serviceId` for `DiscoveryClient`, `Feign`, or `RestTemplate`. In the previous examples, the aliases are `newsletter` and `mailing`. The following example shows Feign usage with a `newsletter` alias: [source,java,indent=0]
@FeignClient("newsletter") public interface NewsletterService { @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/newsletter") String getNewsletters(); }
==== Path The path is represented by the `path` YAML property and is the path under which the dependency is registered under Zookeeper. As described in the <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-setting-up-aliases,previous section>>, Spring Cloud LoadBalancer operates on URLs. As a result, this path is not compliant with its requirement. That is why Spring Cloud Zookeeper maps the alias to the proper path. ==== Load Balancer Type The load balancer type is represented by `loadBalancerType` YAML property. If you know what kind of load-balancing strategy has to be applied when calling this particular dependency, you can provide it in the YAML file, and it is automatically applied. You can choose one of the following load balancing strategies: * STICKY: Once chosen, the instance is always called. * RANDOM: Picks an instance randomly. * ROUND_ROBIN: Iterates over instances over and over again. ==== `Content-Type` Template and Version The `Content-Type` template and version are represented by the `contentTypeTemplate` and `version` YAML properties. If you version your API in the `Content-Type` header, you do not want to add this header to each of your requests. Also, if you want to call a new version of the API, you do not want to roam around your code to bump up the API version. That is why you can provide a `contentTypeTemplate` with a special `$version` placeholder. That placeholder will be filled by the value of the `version` YAML property. Consider the following example of a `contentTypeTemplate`:
application/vnd.newsletter.$version+json
Further consider the following `version`:
v1
The combination of `contentTypeTemplate` and version results in the creation of a `Content-Type` header for each request, as follows:
application/vnd.newsletter.v1+json
==== Default Headers Default headers are represented by the `headers` map in YAML. Sometimes, each call to a dependency requires setting up of some default headers. To not do that in code, you can set them up in the YAML file, as shown in the following example `headers` section: [source,yml,indent=0]
headers: Accept: - text/html - application/xhtml+xml Cache-Control: - no-cache
That `headers` section results in adding the `Accept` and `Cache-Control` headers with appropriate list of values in your HTTP request. ==== Required Dependencies Required dependencies are represented by `required` property in YAML. If one of your dependencies is required to be up when your application boots, you can set the `required: true` property in the YAML file. If your application cannot localize the required dependency during boot time, it throws an exception, and the Spring Context fails to set up. In other words, your application cannot start if the required dependency is not registered in Zookeeper. You can read more about Spring Cloud Zookeeper Presence Checker <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependency-watcher-presence-checker,later in this document>>. ==== Stubs You can provide a colon-separated path to the JAR containing stubs of the dependency, as shown in the following example: `stubs: org.springframework:myApp:stubs` where: * `org.springframework` is the `groupId`. * `myApp` is the `artifactId`. * `stubs` is the classifier. (Note that `stubs` is the default value.) Because `stubs` is the default classifier, the preceding example is equal to the following example: `stubs: org.springframework:myApp` [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependencies-configuring]] === Configuring Spring Cloud Zookeeper Dependencies You can set the following properties to enable or disable parts of Zookeeper Dependencies functionalities: * `spring.cloud.zookeeper.dependencies`: If you do not set this property, you cannot use Zookeeper Dependencies. * `spring.cloud.zookeeper.dependency.loadbalancer.enabled` (enabled by default): Turns on Zookeeper-specific custom load-balancing strategies, including `ZookeeperServiceInstanceListSupplier` and dependency-based load-balanced `RestTemplate` setup. * `spring.cloud.zookeeper.dependency.headers.enabled` (enabled by default): This property registers a `FeignBlockingLoadBalancerClient` that automatically appends appropriate headers and content types with their versions, as presented in the Dependency configuration. Without this setting, those two parameters do not work. * `spring.cloud.zookeeper.dependency.resttemplate.enabled` (enabled by default): When enabled, this property modifies the request headers of a `@LoadBalanced`-annotated `RestTemplate` such that it passes headers and content type with the version set in dependency configuration. Without this setting, those two parameters do not work. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependency-watcher]] == Spring Cloud Zookeeper Dependency Watcher The Dependency Watcher mechanism lets you register listeners to your dependencies. The functionality is, in fact, an implementation of the `Observator` pattern. When a dependency changes, its state (to either UP or DOWN), some custom logic can be applied. === Activating Spring Cloud Zookeeper Dependencies functionality needs to be enabled for you to use the Dependency Watcher mechanism. // TODO: How can the reader do that? === Registering a Listener To register a listener, you must implement an interface called `org.springframework.cloud.zookeeper.discovery.watcher.DependencyWatcherListener` and register it as a bean. The interface gives you one method: [source,java,indent=0]
void stateChanged(String dependencyName, DependencyState newState);
If you want to register a listener for a particular dependency, the `dependencyName` would be the discriminator for your concrete implementation. `newState` provides you with information about whether your dependency has changed to `CONNECTED` or `DISCONNECTED`. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-dependency-watcher-presence-checker]] === Using the Presence Checker Bound with the Dependency Watcher is the functionality called Presence Checker. It lets you provide custom behavior when your application boots, to react according to the state of your dependencies. The default implementation of the abstract `org.springframework.cloud.zookeeper.discovery.watcher.presence.DependencyPresenceOnStartupVerifier` class is the `org.springframework.cloud.zookeeper.discovery.watcher.presence.DefaultDependencyPresenceOnStartupVerifier`, which works in the following way. . If the dependency is marked us `required` and is not in Zookeeper, when your application boots, it throws an exception and shuts down. . If the dependency is not `required`, the `org.springframework.cloud.zookeeper.discovery.watcher.presence.LogMissingDependencyChecker` logs that the dependency is missing at the `WARN` level. Because the `DefaultDependencyPresenceOnStartupVerifier` is registered only when there is no bean of type `DependencyPresenceOnStartupVerifier`, this functionality can be overridden. [[spring-cloud-zookeeper-config]] == Distributed Configuration with Zookeeper Zookeeper provides a https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperOver.html#sc_dataModelNameSpace[hierarchical namespace] that lets clients store arbitrary data, such as configuration data. Spring Cloud Zookeeper Config is an alternative to the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config[Config Server and Client]. Configuration is loaded into the Spring Environment during the special "`bootstrap`" phase. Configuration is stored in the `/config` namespace by default. Multiple `PropertySource` instances are created, based on the application's name and the active profiles, to mimic the Spring Cloud Config order of resolving properties. For example, an application with a name of `testApp` and with the `dev` profile has the following property sources created for it: * `config/testApp,dev` * `config/testApp` * `config/application,dev` * `config/application` The most specific property source is at the top, with the least specific at the bottom. Properties in the `config/application` namespace apply to all applications that use zookeeper for configuration. Properties in the `config/testApp` namespace are available only to the instances of the service named `testApp`. Configuration is currently read on startup of the application. Sending a HTTP `POST` request to `/refresh` causes the configuration to be reloaded. Watching the configuration namespace (which Zookeeper supports) is not currently implemented. === Activating Including a dependency on `org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-zookeeper-config` enables autoconfiguration that sets up Spring Cloud Zookeeper Config. CAUTION: When working with version 3.4 of Zookeeper you need to change the way you include the dependency as described <<spring-cloud-zookeeper-install,here>>. [[config-data-import]] === Spring Boot Config Data Import Spring Boot 2.4 introduced a new way to import configuration data via the `spring.config.import` property. This is now the default way to get configuration from Zookeeper. To optionally connect to Zookeeper for configuration set the following in application.properties: .application.properties [source,properties]
spring.config.import=optional:zookeeper:
This will connect to Zookeeper at the default location of "localhost:2181". Removing the `optional:` prefix will cause Zookeeper Config to fail if it is unable to connect to Zookeeper. To change the connection properties of Zookeeper Config either set `spring.cloud.zookeeper.connect-string` or add the connect string to the `spring.config.import` statement such as, `spring.config.import=optional:zookeeper:myhost:2818`. The location in the import property has precedence over the `connect-string` property. Zookeeper Config will try to load values from four automatic contexts based on `spring.cloud.zookeeper.config.name` (which defaults to the value of the `spring.application.name` property) and `spring.cloud.zookeeper.config.default-context` (which defaults to `application`). If you want to specify the contexts rather than using the computed ones, you can add that information to the `spring.config.import` statement. .application.properties [source,properties]
spring.config.import=optional:zookeeper:myhost:2181/contextone;/context/two
This will optionally load configuration only from `/contextone` and `/context/two`. NOTE: A `bootstrap` file (properties or yaml) is *not* needed for the Spring Boot Config Data method of import via `spring.config.import`. === Customizing Zookeeper Config may be customized by setting the following properties: [source,yml,indent=0]
spring: cloud: zookeeper: config: enabled: true root: configuration defaultContext: apps profileSeparator: '::'
* `enabled`: Setting this value to `false` disables Zookeeper Config. * `root`: Sets the base namespace for configuration values. * `defaultContext`: Sets the name used by all applications. * `profileSeparator`: Sets the value of the separator used to separate the profile name in property sources with profiles. CAUTION: If you have set `spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=true` or `spring.config.use-legacy-processing=true`, or included `spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap`, then the above values will need to be placed in `bootstrap.yml` instead of `application.yml`. === Access Control Lists (ACLs) You can add authentication information for Zookeeper ACLs by calling the `addAuthInfo` method of a `CuratorFramework` bean. One way to accomplish this is to provide your own `CuratorFramework` bean, as shown in the following example: [source,java,indent=0]
@BoostrapConfiguration public class CustomCuratorFrameworkConfig {
@Bean public CuratorFramework curatorFramework() { CuratorFramework curator = new CuratorFramework(); curator.addAuthInfo("digest", "user:password".getBytes()); return curator; }
}
Consult https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-zookeeper/blob/master/spring-cloud-zookeeper-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/zookeeper/ZookeeperAutoConfiguration.java[the ZookeeperAutoConfiguration class] to see how the `CuratorFramework` bean's default configuration. Alternatively, you can add your credentials from a class that depends on the existing `CuratorFramework` bean, as shown in the following example: [source,java,indent=0]
@BoostrapConfiguration public class DefaultCuratorFrameworkConfig {
public ZookeeperConfig(CuratorFramework curator) { curator.addAuthInfo("digest", "user:password".getBytes()); }
}
The creation of this bean must occur during the boostrapping phase. You can register configuration classes to run during this phase by annotating them with `@BootstrapConfiguration` and including them in a comma-separated list that you set as the value of the `org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration` property in the `resources/META-INF/spring.factories` file, as shown in the following example: .resources/META-INF/spring.factories
org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration=\ my.project.CustomCuratorFrameworkConfig,\ my.project.DefaultCuratorFrameworkConfig
