If you are getting started with Spring Boot or 'Spring' in general, start with the following topics:
Ready to actually start using Spring Boot? We have you covered:
Need more details about Spring Boot’s core features? The following content is for you:
When you are ready to push your Spring Boot application to production, we have some tricks that you might like:
Finally, we have a few topics for more advanced users:
If you are getting started with Spring Boot, or “Spring” in general, start by reading this section. It answers the basic “what?”, “how?” and “why?” questions. It includes an introduction to Spring Boot, along with installation instructions. We then walk you through building your first Spring Boot application, discussing some core principles as we go.
Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based Applications that you can run. We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries, so that you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.
You can use Spring Boot to create Java applications that can be started by using
java -jar
or more traditional war deployments. We also provide a command line tool that
runs “spring scripts”.
Our primary goals are:
Spring Boot 2.0.2.RELEASE requires Java 8 or 9 and Spring Framework 5.0.6.RELEASE or above. Explicit build support is provided for Maven 3.2+ and Gradle 4.
Spring Boot can be used with “classic” Java development tools or installed as a command line tool. Either way, you need Java SDK v1.8 or higher. Before you begin, you should check your current Java installation by using the following command:
$ java -version
If you are new to Java development or if you want to experiment with Spring Boot, you might want to try the Spring Boot CLI (Command Line Interface) first. Otherwise, read on for “classic” installation instructions.
You can use Spring Boot in the same way as any standard Java library. To do so, include
the appropriate spring-boot-*.jar
files on your classpath. Spring Boot does not
require any special tools integration, so you can use any IDE or text editor. Also, there
is nothing special about a Spring Boot application, so you can run and debug a Spring
Boot application as you would any other Java program.
Although you could copy Spring Boot jars, we generally recommend that you use a build tool that supports dependency management (such as Maven or Gradle).
Spring Boot is compatible with Apache Maven 3.2 or above. If you do not already have Maven installed, you can follow the instructions at maven.apache.org.

On many operating systems, Maven can be installed with a package manager. If you use
OSX Homebrew, try |
Spring Boot dependencies use the org.springframework.boot
groupId
. Typically, your
Maven POM file inherits from the spring-boot-starter-parent
project and declares
dependencies to one or more “Starters”.
Spring Boot also provides an optional
Maven plugin to create
executable jars.
The following listing shows a typical pom.xml
file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>myproject</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <!-- Inherit defaults from Spring Boot --> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> </parent> <!-- Add typical dependencies for a web application --> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> <!-- Package as an executable jar --> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>

Spring Boot is compatible with Gradle 4. If you do not already have Gradle installed, you can follow the instructions at gradle.org.
Spring Boot dependencies can be declared by using the org.springframework.boot
group
.
Typically, your project declares dependencies to one or more
“Starters”. Spring Boot
provides a useful Gradle
plugin that can be used to simplify dependency declarations and to create executable
jars.
The following example shows a typical build.gradle
file:
plugins { id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.0.2.RELEASE' id 'java' } jar { baseName = 'myproject' version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT' } repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test") }
The Spring Boot CLI (Command Line Interface) is a command line tool that you can use to quickly prototype with Spring. It lets you run Groovy scripts, which means that you have a familiar Java-like syntax without so much boilerplate code.
You do not need to use the CLI to work with Spring Boot, but it is definitely the quickest way to get a Spring application off the ground.
You can download the Spring CLI distribution from the Spring software repository:
Cutting edge snapshot distributions are also available.
Once downloaded, follow the
INSTALL.txt
instructions from the unpacked archive. In summary, there is a spring
script
(spring.bat
for Windows) in a bin/
directory in the .zip
file. Alternatively, you
can use java -jar
with the .jar
file (the script helps you to be sure that the
classpath is set correctly).
SDKMAN! (The Software Development Kit Manager) can be used for managing multiple versions of various binary SDKs, including Groovy and the Spring Boot CLI. Get SDKMAN! from sdkman.io and install Spring Boot by using the following commands:
$ sdk install springboot $ spring --version Spring Boot v2.0.2.RELEASE
If you develop features for the CLI and want easy access to the version you built, use the following commands:
$ sdk install springboot dev /path/to/spring-boot/spring-boot-cli/target/spring-boot-cli-2.0.2.RELEASE-bin/spring-2.0.2.RELEASE/ $ sdk default springboot dev $ spring --version Spring CLI v2.0.2.RELEASE
The preceding instructions install a local instance of spring
called the dev
instance. It points at your target build location, so every time you rebuild Spring Boot,
spring
is up-to-date.
You can see it by running the following command:
$ sdk ls springboot ================================================================================ Available Springboot Versions ================================================================================ > + dev * 2.0.2.RELEASE ================================================================================ + - local version * - installed > - currently in use ================================================================================
If you are on a Mac and use Homebrew, you can install the Spring Boot CLI by using the following commands:
$ brew tap pivotal/tap $ brew install springboot
Homebrew installs spring
to /usr/local/bin
.

If you do not see the formula, your installation of brew might be out-of-date. In
that case, run |
If you are on a Mac and use MacPorts, you can install the Spring Boot CLI by using the following command:
$ sudo port install spring-boot-cli
The Spring Boot CLI includes scripts that provide command completion for the
BASH and
zsh shells. You can source
the script (also named
spring
) in any shell or put it in your personal or system-wide bash completion
initialization. On a Debian system, the system-wide scripts are in
/shell-completion/bash
and all scripts in that directory are executed when a new shell
starts. For example, to run the script manually if you have installed by using SDKMAN!,
use the following commands:
$ . ~/.sdkman/candidates/springboot/current/shell-completion/bash/spring $ spring <HIT TAB HERE> grab help jar run test version
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If you install the Spring Boot CLI by using Homebrew or MacPorts, the command-line completion scripts are automatically registered with your shell. |
You can use the following web application to test your installation. To start, create a
file called app.groovy
, as follows:
@RestController class ThisWillActuallyRun { @RequestMapping("/") String home() { "Hello World!" } }
Then run it from a shell, as follows:
$ spring run app.groovy
![]() | Note |
---|---|
The first run of your application is slow, as dependencies are downloaded. Subsequent runs are much quicker. |
Open localhost:8080
in your favorite web browser. You should see the following
output:
Hello World!
If you are upgrading from an earlier release of Spring Boot, check the “migration guide” on the project wiki that provides detailed upgrade instructions. Check also the “release notes” for a list of “new and noteworthy” features for each release.
To upgrade an existing CLI installation, use the appropriate package manager command (for
example, brew upgrade
) or, if you manually installed the CLI, follow the
standard instructions, remembering to update
your PATH
environment variable to remove any older references.
This section describes how to develop a simple “Hello World!” web application that highlights some of Spring Boot’s key features. We use Maven to build this project, since most IDEs support it.
![]() | Tip |

The spring.io web site contains many “Getting Started” guides that use Spring Boot. If you need to solve a specific problem, check there first. You can shortcut the steps below by going to start.spring.io and choosing the "Web" starter from the dependencies searcher. Doing so generates a new project structure so that you can start coding right away. Check the Spring Initializr documentation for more details. |
Before we begin, open a terminal and run the following commands to ensure that you have valid versions of Java and Maven installed:
$ java -version java version "1.8.0_102" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_102-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.102-b14, mixed mode)
$ mvn -v Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T16:41:47+00:00) Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.3.9/libexec Java version: 1.8.0_102, vendor: Oracle Corporation
![]() | Note |
---|---|
This sample needs to be created in its own folder. Subsequent instructions assume that you have created a suitable folder and that it is your current directory. |
We need to start by creating a Maven pom.xml
file. The pom.xml
is the recipe that is
used to build your project. Open your favorite text editor and add the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>myproject</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> </parent> <!-- Additional lines to be added here... --> </project>
The preceding listing should give you a working build. You can test it by running mvn
package
(for now, you can ignore the “jar will be empty - no content was marked for
inclusion!” warning).
![]() | Note |
---|---|
At this point, you could import the project into an IDE (most modern Java IDEs include built-in support for Maven). For simplicity, we continue to use a plain text editor for this example. |
Spring Boot provides a number of “Starters” that let you add jars to your classpath.
Our sample application has already used spring-boot-starter-parent
in the parent
section of the POM. The spring-boot-starter-parent
is a special starter that provides
useful Maven defaults. It also provides a
dependency-management
section so that you can omit version
tags for “blessed” dependencies.
Other “Starters” provide dependencies that you are likely to need when developing a
specific type of application. Since we are developing a web application, we add a
spring-boot-starter-web
dependency. Before that, we can look at what we currently have
by running the following command:
$ mvn dependency:tree [INFO] com.example:myproject:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
The mvn dependency:tree
command prints a tree representation of your project
dependencies. You can see that spring-boot-starter-parent
provides no dependencies by
itself. To add the necessary dependencies, edit your pom.xml
and add the
spring-boot-starter-web
dependency immediately below the parent
section:
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
If you run mvn dependency:tree
again, you see that there are now a number of additional
dependencies, including the Tomcat web server and Spring Boot itself.
To finish our application, we need to create a single Java file. By default, Maven
compiles sources from src/main/java
, so you need to create that folder structure and
then add a file named src/main/java/Example.java
to contain the following code:
import org.springframework.boot.*; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.*; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*; @RestController @EnableAutoConfiguration public class Example { @RequestMapping("/") String home() { return "Hello World!"; } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { SpringApplication.run(Example.class, args); } }
Although there is not much code here, quite a lot is going on. We step through the important parts in the next few sections.
The first annotation on our Example
class is @RestController
. This is known as a
stereotype annotation. It provides hints for people reading the code and for Spring
that the class plays a specific role. In this case, our class is a web @Controller
, so
Spring considers it when handling incoming web requests.
The @RequestMapping
annotation provides “routing” information. It tells Spring that
any HTTP request with the /
path should be mapped to the home
method. The
@RestController
annotation tells Spring to render the resulting string directly back to
the caller.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
The |
The second class-level annotation is @EnableAutoConfiguration
. This annotation tells
Spring Boot to “guess” how you want to configure Spring, based on the jar dependencies
that you have added. Since spring-boot-starter-web
added Tomcat and Spring MVC, the
auto-configuration assumes that you are developing a web application and sets up Spring
accordingly.
The final part of our application is the main
method. This is just a standard method
that follows the Java convention for an application entry point. Our main method
delegates to Spring Boot’s SpringApplication
class by calling run
.
SpringApplication
bootstraps our application, starting Spring, which, in turn, starts
the auto-configured Tomcat web server. We need to pass Example.class
as an argument to
the run
method to tell SpringApplication
which is the primary Spring component. The
args
array is also passed through to expose any command-line arguments.
At this point, your application should work. Since you used the
spring-boot-starter-parent
POM, you have a useful run
goal that you can use to start
the application. Type mvn spring-boot:run
from the root project directory to start the
application. You should see output similar to the following:
$ mvn spring-boot:run . ____ _ __ _ _ /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ ( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \ \\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) ) ' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / / =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/ :: Spring Boot :: (v2.0.2.RELEASE) ....... . . . ....... . . . (log output here) ....... . . . ........ Started Example in 2.222 seconds (JVM running for 6.514)
If you open a web browser to localhost:8080
, you should see the following output:
Hello World!
To gracefully exit the application, press ctrl-c
.
We finish our example by creating a completely self-contained executable jar file that we could run in production. Executable jars (sometimes called “fat jars”) are archives containing your compiled classes along with all of the jar dependencies that your code needs to run.
To create an executable jar, we need to add the spring-boot-maven-plugin
to our
pom.xml
. To do so, insert the following lines just below the dependencies
section:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build>

Save your pom.xml
and run mvn package
from the command line, as follows:
$ mvn package [INFO] Scanning for projects...

If you look in the target
directory, you should see myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
. The
file should be around 10 MB in size. If you want to peek inside, you can use jar tvf
,
as follows:
$ jar tvf target/myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
You should also see a much smaller file named myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.original
in
the target
directory. This is the original jar file that Maven created before it was
repackaged by Spring Boot.
To run that application, use the java -jar
command, as follows:
$ java -jar target/myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar . ____ _ __ _ _ /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ ( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \ \\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) ) ' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / / =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/ :: Spring Boot :: (v2.0.2.RELEASE) ....... . . . ....... . . .

As before, to exit the application, press ctrl-c
.
Hopefully, this section provided some of the Spring Boot basics and got you on your way to writing your own applications. If you are a task-oriented type of developer, you might want to jump over to spring.io and check out some of the getting started guides that solve specific “How do I do that with Spring?” problems. We also have Spring Boot-specific “How-to” reference documentation.
The Spring Boot repository also has a bunch of samples you can run. The samples are independent of the rest of the code (that is, you do not need to build the rest to run or use the samples).
Otherwise, the next logical step is to read Part III, “Using Spring Boot”. If you are really impatient, you could also jump ahead and read about Spring Boot features.
This section goes into more detail about how you should use Spring Boot. It covers topics such as build systems, auto-configuration, and how to run your applications. We also cover some Spring Boot best practices. Although there is nothing particularly special about Spring Boot (it is just another library that you can consume), there are a few recommendations that, when followed, make your development process a little easier.
If you are starting out with Spring Boot, you should probably read the Getting Started guide before diving into this section.
It is strongly recommended that you choose a build system that supports dependency management and that can consume artifacts published to the “Maven Central” repository. We would recommend that you choose Maven or Gradle. It is possible to get Spring Boot to work with other build systems (Ant, for example), but they are not particularly well supported.
Each release of Spring Boot provides a curated list of dependencies that it supports. In practice, you do not need to provide a version for any of these dependencies in your build configuration, as Spring Boot manages that for you. When you upgrade Spring Boot itself, these dependencies are upgraded as well in a consistent way.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
You can still specify a version and override Spring Boot’s recommendations if you need to do so. |
The curated list contains all the spring modules that you can use with Spring Boot as
well as a refined list of third party libraries. The list is available as a standard
Bills of Materials (spring-boot-dependencies
)
that can be used with both Maven and
Gradle.
![]() | Warning |
---|---|
Each release of Spring Boot is associated with a base version of the Spring Framework. We highly recommend that you not specify its version. |
Maven users can inherit from the spring-boot-starter-parent
project to obtain sensible
defaults. The parent project provides the following features:
application.properties
and application.yml
including profile-specific files (for example, application-dev.properties
and
application-dev.yml
)Note that, since the application.properties
and application.yml
files accept Spring
style placeholders (${…}
), the Maven filtering is changed to use @..@
placeholders.
(You can override that by setting a Maven property called resource.delimiter
.)
To configure your project to inherit from the spring-boot-starter-parent
, set the
parent
as follows:
<!-- Inherit defaults from Spring Boot --> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> </parent>
![]() | Note |
---|---|
You should need to specify only the Spring Boot version number on this dependency. If you import additional starters, you can safely omit the version number. |
With that setup, you can also override individual dependencies by overriding a property
in your own project. For instance, to upgrade to another Spring Data release train, you
would add the following to your pom.xml
:
<properties> <spring-data-releasetrain.version>Fowler-SR2</spring-data-releasetrain.version> </properties>
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
Check the
|
Not everyone likes inheriting from the spring-boot-starter-parent
POM. You may have
your own corporate standard parent that you need to use or you may prefer to explicitly
declare all your Maven configuration.
If you do not want to use the spring-boot-starter-parent
, you can still keep the
benefit of the dependency management (but not the plugin management) by using a
scope=import
dependency, as follows:
<dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <!-- Import dependency management from Spring Boot --> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement>
The preceding sample setup does not let you override individual dependencies by using a
property, as explained above. To achieve the same result, you need to add an entry in the
dependencyManagement
of your project before the spring-boot-dependencies
entry.
For instance, to upgrade to another Spring Data release train, you could add the
following element to your pom.xml
:
<dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <!-- Override Spring Data release train provided by Spring Boot --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId> <artifactId>spring-data-releasetrain</artifactId> <version>Fowler-SR2</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement>
![]() | Note |
---|---|
In the preceding example, we specify a BOM, but any dependency type can be overridden in the same way. |
Spring Boot includes a Maven
plugin that can package the project as an executable jar. Add the plugin to your
<plugins>
section if you want to use it, as shown in the following example:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If you use the Spring Boot starter parent pom, you need to add only the plugin. There is no need to configure it unless you want to change the settings defined in the parent. |
To learn about using Spring Boot with Gradle, please refer to the documentation for Spring Boot’s Gradle plugin:
It is possible to build a Spring Boot project using Apache Ant+Ivy. The
spring-boot-antlib
“AntLib” module is also available to help Ant create executable
jars.
To declare dependencies, a typical ivy.xml
file looks something like the following
example:
<ivy-module version="2.0"> <info organisation="org.springframework.boot" module="spring-boot-sample-ant" /> <configurations> <conf name="compile" description="everything needed to compile this module" /> <conf name="runtime" extends="compile" description="everything needed to run this module" /> </configurations> <dependencies> <dependency org="org.springframework.boot" name="spring-boot-starter" rev="${spring-boot.version}" conf="compile" /> </dependencies> </ivy-module>
A typical build.xml
looks like the following example:
<project xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant" xmlns:spring-boot="antlib:org.springframework.boot.ant" name="myapp" default="build"> <property name="spring-boot.version" value="2.0.2.RELEASE" /> <target name="resolve" description="--> retrieve dependencies with ivy"> <ivy:retrieve pattern="lib/[conf]/[artifact]-[type]-[revision].[ext]" /> </target> <target name="classpaths" depends="resolve"> <path id="compile.classpath"> <fileset dir="lib/compile" includes="*.jar" /> </path> </target> <target name="init" depends="classpaths"> <mkdir dir="build/classes" /> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile"> <javac srcdir="src/main/java" destdir="build/classes" classpathref="compile.classpath" /> </target> <target name="build" depends="compile"> <spring-boot:exejar destfile="build/myapp.jar" classes="build/classes"> <spring-boot:lib> <fileset dir="lib/runtime" /> </spring-boot:lib> </spring-boot:exejar> </target> </project>

Starters are a set of convenient dependency descriptors that you can include in your
application. You get a one-stop shop for all the Spring and related technologies that you
need without having to hunt through sample code and copy-paste loads of dependency
descriptors. For example, if you want to get started using Spring and JPA for database
access, include the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
dependency in your project.
The starters contain a lot of the dependencies that you need to get a project up and running quickly and with a consistent, supported set of managed transitive dependencies.
The following application starters are provided by Spring Boot under the
org.springframework.boot

Spring Boot does not require any specific code layout to work. However, there are some best practices that help.
When a class does not include a package
declaration, it is considered to be in the
“default package”. The use of the “default package” is generally discouraged and
should be avoided. It can cause particular problems for Spring Boot applications that use
the @ComponentScan
, @EntityScan
, or @SpringBootApplication
annotations, since every
class from every jar is read.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
We recommend that you follow Java’s recommended package naming conventions and use a
reversed domain name (for example, |
We generally recommend that you locate your main application class in a root package
above other classes. The @SpringBootApplication
annotation is often placed on your main class, and it
implicitly defines a base “search package” for certain items. For example, if you are
writing a JPA application, the package of the @SpringBootApplication
annotated class
is used to search for @Entity
items. Using a root package also allows component
scan to apply only on your project.

The following listing shows a typical layout:
com +- example +- myapplication +- Application.java | +- customer | +- Customer.java | +- CustomerController.java | +- CustomerService.java | +- CustomerRepository.java | +- order +- Order.java +- OrderController.java +- OrderService.java +- OrderRepository.java
The Application.java
file would declare the main
method, along with the basic
@SpringBootApplication
, as follows:
package com.example.myapplication; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; @SpringBootApplication public class Application { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } }
Spring Boot favors Java-based configuration. Although it is possible to use
SpringApplication
with XML sources, we generally recommend that your primary source be
a single @Configuration
class. Usually the class that defines the main
method is a
good candidate as the primary @Configuration
.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
Many Spring configuration examples have been published on the Internet that use XML
configuration. If possible, always try to use the equivalent Java-based configuration.
Searching for |
You need not put all your @Configuration
into a single class. The @Import
annotation
can be used to import additional configuration classes. Alternatively, you can use
@ComponentScan
to automatically pick up all Spring components, including
@Configuration
classes.
Spring Boot auto-configuration attempts to automatically configure your Spring
application based on the jar dependencies that you have added. For example, if HSQLDB
is on your classpath, and you have not manually configured any database connection beans,
then Spring Boot auto-configures an in-memory database.
You need to opt-in to auto-configuration by adding the @EnableAutoConfiguration
or
@SpringBootApplication
annotations to one of your @Configuration
classes.

---|---|
You should only ever add one |
Auto-configuration is non-invasive. At any point, you can start to define your own
configuration to replace specific parts of the auto-configuration. For example, if you
add your own DataSource
bean, the default embedded database support backs away.
If you need to find out what auto-configuration is currently being applied, and why,
start your application with the --debug
switch. Doing so enables debug logs for a
selection of core loggers and logs a conditions report to the console.
If you find that specific auto-configuration classes that you do not want are being
applied, you can use the exclude attribute of @EnableAutoConfiguration
to disable them,
as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.*; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.*; import org.springframework.context.annotation.*; @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude={DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class}) public class MyConfiguration { }
If the class is not on the classpath, you can use the excludeName
attribute of the
annotation and specify the fully qualified name instead. Finally, you can also control
the list of auto-configuration classes to exclude by using the
spring.autoconfigure.exclude
property.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
You can define exclusions both at the annotation level and by using the property. |
You are free to use any of the standard Spring Framework techniques to define your beans
and their injected dependencies. For simplicity, we often find that using
@ComponentScan
(to find your beans) and using @Autowired
(to do constructor
injection) works well.
If you structure your code as suggested above (locating your application class in a root
package), you can add @ComponentScan
without any arguments. All of your application
components (@Component
, @Service
, @Repository
, @Controller
etc.) are
automatically registered as Spring Beans.
The following example shows a @Service
Bean that uses constructor injection to obtain a
required RiskAssessor
bean:
package com.example.service; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.stereotype.Service; @Service public class DatabaseAccountService implements AccountService { private final RiskAssessor riskAssessor; @Autowired public DatabaseAccountService(RiskAssessor riskAssessor) { this.riskAssessor = riskAssessor; } // ... }
If a bean has one constructor, you can omit the @Autowired
, as shown in the following
example:
@Service public class DatabaseAccountService implements AccountService { private final RiskAssessor riskAssessor; public DatabaseAccountService(RiskAssessor riskAssessor) { this.riskAssessor = riskAssessor; } // ... }

Many Spring Boot developers like their apps to use auto-configuration, component scan and
be able to define extra configuration on their "application class". A single
@SpringBootApplication
annotation can be used to enable those three features, that is:
@EnableAutoConfiguration
: enable Spring Boot’s
auto-configuration mechanism@ComponentScan
: enable @Component
scan on the package where the application is
located (see the best practices)@Configuration
: allow to register extra beans in the context or import additional
configuration classesThe @SpringBootApplication
annotation is equivalent to using @Configuration
,
@EnableAutoConfiguration
, and @ComponentScan
with their default attributes, as shown
in the following example:
package com.example.myapplication; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; @SpringBootApplication // same as @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @ComponentScan public class Application { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } }

None of these features are mandatory and you may chose to replace this single annotation by any of the features that it enables. For instance, you may not want to use component scan in your application: package com.example.myapplication; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import; @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @Import({ MyConfig.class, MyAnotherConfig.class }) public class Application { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } } In this example, |
One of the biggest advantages of packaging your application as a jar and using an embedded HTTP server is that you can run your application as you would any other. Debugging Spring Boot applications is also easy. You do not need any special IDE plugins or extensions.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
This section only covers jar based packaging. If you choose to package your application as a war file, you should refer to your server and IDE documentation. |
You can run a Spring Boot application from your IDE as a simple Java application.
However, you first need to import your project. Import steps vary depending on your IDE
and build system. Most IDEs can import Maven projects directly. For example, Eclipse
users can select Import…
→ Existing Maven Projects
from the File
menu.
If you cannot directly import your project into your IDE, you may be able to generate IDE metadata by using a build plugin. Maven includes plugins for Eclipse and IDEA. Gradle offers plugins for various IDEs.

If you use the Spring Boot Maven or Gradle plugins to create an executable jar, you can
run your application using java -jar
, as shown in the following example:
$ java -jar target/myapplication-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
It is also possible to run a packaged application with remote debugging support enabled. Doing so lets you attach a debugger to your packaged application, as shown in the following example:
$ java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y,transport=dt_socket,address=8000,suspend=n \ -jar target/myapplication-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
The Spring Boot Maven plugin includes a run
goal that can be used to quickly compile
and run your application. Applications run in an exploded form, as they do in your IDE.
The following example shows a typical Maven command to run a Spring Boot application:
$ mvn spring-boot:run
You might also want to use the MAVEN_OPTS
operating system environment variable, as
shown in the following example:
$ export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m
The Spring Boot Gradle plugin also includes a bootRun
task that can be used to run your
application in an exploded form. The bootRun
task is added whenever you apply the
org.springframework.boot
and java
plugins and is shown in the following example:
$ gradle bootRun
You might also want to use the JAVA_OPTS
operating system environment variable, as
shown in the following example:
$ export JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m
Since Spring Boot applications are just plain Java applications, JVM hot-swapping should work out of the box. JVM hot swapping is somewhat limited with the bytecode that it can replace. For a more complete solution, JRebel can be used.
The
spring-boot-devtools
module also includes support for quick application restarts.
See the Chapter 20, Developer Tools section later in this chapter and the
Hot swapping “How-to” for details.
Spring Boot includes an additional set of tools that can make the application
development experience a little more pleasant. The spring-boot-devtools
module can be
included in any project to provide additional development-time features. To include
devtools support, add the module dependency to your build, as shown in the following
listings for Maven and Gradle:
Maven.
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId> <optional>true</optional> </dependency> </dependencies>

Several of the libraries supported by Spring Boot use caches to improve performance. For example, template engines cache compiled templates to avoid repeatedly parsing template files. Also, Spring MVC can add HTTP caching headers to responses when serving static resources.
While caching is very beneficial in production, it can be counter-productive during development, preventing you from seeing the changes you just made in your application. For this reason, spring-boot-devtools disables the caching options by default.
Cache options are usually configured by settings in your application.properties
file.
For example, Thymeleaf offers the spring.thymeleaf.cache
property. Rather than needing
to set these properties manually, the spring-boot-devtools
module automatically applies
sensible development-time configuration.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
For a complete list of the properties that are applied by the devtools, see DevToolsPropertyDefaultsPostProcessor. |
Applications that use spring-boot-devtools
automatically restart whenever files on the
classpath change. This can be a useful feature when working in an IDE, as it gives a very
fast feedback loop for code changes. By default, any entry on the classpath that points
to a folder is monitored for changes. Note that certain resources, such as static assets
and view templates, do not need to restart the
application.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
As long as forking is enabled, you can also start your application by using the supported build plugins (Maven and Gradle), since DevTools needs an isolated application classloader to operate properly. By default, Gradle and Maven do that when they detect DevTools on the classpath. |

Automatic restart works very well when used with LiveReload. See the LiveReload section for details. If you use JRebel, automatic restarts are disabled in favor of dynamic class reloading. Other devtools features (such as LiveReload and property overrides) can still be used. |

By default, each time your application restarts, a report showing the condition evaluation delta is logged. The report shows the changes to your application’s auto-configuration as you make changes such as adding or removing beans and setting configuration properties.
To disable the logging of the report, set the following property:
spring.devtools.restart.log-condition-evaluation-delta=false
Certain resources do not necessarily need to trigger a restart when they are changed. For
example, Thymeleaf templates can be edited in-place. By default, changing resources
in /META-INF/maven
, /META-INF/resources
, /resources
, /static
, /public
, or
/templates
does not trigger a restart but does trigger a
live reload. If you want to customize these
exclusions, you can use the spring.devtools.restart.exclude
property. For example, to
exclude only /static
and /public
you would set the following property:
spring.devtools.restart.exclude=static/**,public/**

If you want to keep those defaults and add additional exclusions, use the

You may want your application to be restarted or reloaded when you make changes to files
that are not on the classpath. To do so, use the
spring.devtools.restart.additional-paths
property to configure additional paths to
watch for changes. You can use the spring.devtools.restart.exclude
property
described earlier to control whether changes
beneath the additional paths trigger a full restart or a
live reload.
If you do not want to use the restart feature, you can disable it by using the
spring.devtools.restart.enabled
property. In most cases, you can set this property in
your application.properties
(doing so still initializes the restart classloader, but it
does not watch for file changes).
If you need to completely disable restart support (for example, because it does not work
with a specific library), you need to set the spring.devtools.restart.enabled
System
property to false
before calling SpringApplication.run(…)
, as shown in the
following example:
public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("spring.devtools.restart.enabled", "false"); SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class, args); }
If you work with an IDE that continuously compiles changed files, you might prefer to trigger restarts only at specific times. To do so, you can use a “trigger file”, which is a special file that must be modified when you want to actually trigger a restart check. Changing the file only triggers the check and the restart only occurs if Devtools has detected it has to do something. The trigger file can be updated manually or with an IDE plugin.
To use a trigger file, set the spring.devtools.restart.trigger-file
property to the
path of your trigger file.

As described earlier in the Restart vs Reload section, restart functionality is implemented by using two classloaders. For most applications, this approach works well. However, it can sometimes cause classloading issues.
By default, any open project in your IDE is loaded with the “restart” classloader, and
any regular .jar
file is loaded with the “base” classloader. If you work on a
multi-module project, and not every module is imported into your IDE, you may need to
customize things. To do so, you can create a META-INF/spring-devtools.properties
file.
The spring-devtools.properties
file can contain properties prefixed with
restart.exclude
and restart.include
. The include
elements are items that should be
pulled up into the “restart” classloader, and the exclude
elements are items that
should be pushed down into the “base” classloader. The value of the property is a regex
pattern that is applied to the classpath, as shown in the following example:
restart.exclude.companycommonlibs=/mycorp-common-[\\w-]+\.jar restart.include.projectcommon=/mycorp-myproj-[\\w-]+\.jar

Restart functionality does not work well with objects that are deserialized by using a
standard ObjectInputStream
. If you need to deserialize data, you may need to use
Spring’s ConfigurableObjectInputStream
in combination with
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
.
Unfortunately, several third-party libraries deserialize without considering the context classloader. If you find such a problem, you need to request a fix with the original authors.
The spring-boot-devtools
module includes an embedded LiveReload server that can be used
to trigger a browser refresh when a resource is changed. LiveReload browser extensions
are freely available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari from
livereload.com.
If you do not want to start the LiveReload server when your application runs, you can set
the spring.devtools.livereload.enabled
property to false
.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
You can only run one LiveReload server at a time. Before starting your application, ensure that no other LiveReload servers are running. If you start multiple applications from your IDE, only the first has LiveReload support. |
You can configure global devtools settings by adding a file named
.spring-boot-devtools.properties
to your $HOME
folder (note that the filename starts
with “.”). Any properties added to this file apply to all Spring Boot applications on
your machine that use devtools. For example, to configure restart to always use a
trigger file, you would add the following
property:
~/.spring-boot-devtools.properties.
spring.devtools.reload.trigger-file=.reloadtrigger
The Spring Boot developer tools are not limited to local development. You can also
use several features when running applications remotely. Remote support is opt-in. To
enable it, you need to make sure that devtools
is included in the repackaged archive,
as shown in the following listing:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <excludeDevtools>false</excludeDevtools> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
Then you need to set a spring.devtools.remote.secret
property, as shown in the
following example:
spring.devtools.remote.secret=mysecret

Remote devtools support is provided in two parts: a server-side endpoint that accepts
connections and a client application that you run in your IDE. The server component is
automatically enabled when the spring.devtools.remote.secret
property is set. The
client component must be launched manually.
The remote client application is designed to be run from within your IDE. You need to run
org.springframework.boot.devtools.RemoteSpringApplication
with the same classpath as
the remote project that you connect to. The application’s single required argument is the
remote URL to which it connects.
For example, if you are using Eclipse or STS and you have a project named my-app
that
you have deployed to Cloud Foundry, you would do the following:
Run Configurations…
from the Run
menu.Java Application
“launch configuration”.my-app
project.org.springframework.boot.devtools.RemoteSpringApplication
as the main class.https://myapp.cfapps.io
to the Program arguments

URL is).A running remote client might resemble the following listing:

The remote client monitors your application classpath for changes in the same way as the local restart. Any updated resource is pushed to the remote application and (if required) triggers a restart. This can be helpful if you iterate on a feature that uses a cloud service that you do not have locally. Generally, remote updates and restarts are much quicker than a full rebuild and deploy cycle.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Files are only monitored when the remote client is running. If you change a file before starting the remote client, it is not pushed to the remote server. |
Executable jars can be used for production deployment. As they are self-contained, they are also ideally suited for cloud-based deployment.
For additional “production ready” features, such as health, auditing, and metric REST
or JMX end-points, consider adding spring-boot-actuator
. See
Part V, “Spring Boot Actuator: Production-ready features” for details.
You should now understand how you can use Spring Boot and some best practices that you should follow. You can now go on to learn about specific Spring Boot features in depth, or you could skip ahead and read about the “production ready” aspects of Spring Boot.
This section dives into the details of Spring Boot. Here you can learn about the key features that you may want to use and customize. If you have not already done so, you might want to read the "Part II, “Getting Started”" and "Part III, “Using Spring Boot”" sections, so that you have a good grounding of the basics.
The SpringApplication
class provides a convenient way to bootstrap a Spring application
that is started from a main()
method. In many situations, you can delegate to the
static SpringApplication.run
method, as shown in the following example:
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(MySpringConfiguration.class, args); }
When your application starts, you should see something similar to the following output:

If no failure analyzers are able to handle the exception, you can still display the full
conditions report to better understand what went wrong. To do so, you need to
enable the debug

org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.logging.ConditionEvaluationReportLoggingListener
.
For instance, if you are running your application by using java -jar
, you can enable
the debug

$ java -jar myproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar --debug
The banner that is printed on start up can be changed by adding a banner.txt
file to
your classpath or by setting the spring.banner.location
property to the location of such
a file. If the file has an encoding other than UTF-8, you can set spring.banner.charset
.
In addition to a text file, you can also add a banner.gif

You often need not use application events, but it can be handy to know that they exist. Internally, Spring Boot uses events to handle a variety of tasks. |
Application events are sent by using Spring Framework’s event publishing mechanism. Part
of this mechanism ensures that an event published to the listeners in a child context is
also published to the listeners in any ancestor contexts. As a result of this, if your
application uses a hierarchy of SpringApplication
instances, a listener may receive
multiple instances of the same type of application event.
To allow your listener to distinguish between an event for its context and an event for
a descendant context, it should request that its application context is injected and then
compare the injected context with the context of the event. The context can be injected
by implementing ApplicationContextAware
or, if the listener is a bean, by using
@Autowired
.
A SpringApplication
attempts to create the right type of ApplicationContext
on your
behalf. The algorithm used to determine a WebEnvironmentType
is fairly simple:
AnnotationConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext
is
usedAnnotationConfigReactiveWebServerApplicationContext
is usedAnnotationConfigApplicationContext
is usedThis means that if you are using Spring MVC and the new WebClient
from Spring WebFlux in
the same application, Spring MVC will be used by default. You can override that easily
by calling setWebApplicationType(WebApplicationType)
.
It is also possible to take complete control of the ApplicationContext
type that is
used by calling setApplicationContextClass(…)
.

If you need to access the application arguments that were passed to
SpringApplication.run(…)
, you can inject a
org.springframework.boot.ApplicationArguments
bean. The ApplicationArguments
interface provides access to both the raw String[]
arguments as well as parsed option
and non-option
arguments, as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.boot.*; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.*; import org.springframework.stereotype.*; @Component public class MyBean { @Autowired public MyBean(ApplicationArguments args) { boolean debug = args.containsOption("debug"); List<String> files = args.getNonOptionArgs(); // if run with "--debug logfile.txt" debug=true, files=["logfile.txt"] } }

If you need to run some specific code once the SpringApplication
has started, you can
implement the ApplicationRunner
or CommandLineRunner
interfaces. Both interfaces work
in the same way and offer a single run
method, which is called just before
SpringApplication.run(…)
completes.
The CommandLineRunner
interfaces provides access to application arguments as a simple
string array, whereas the ApplicationRunner
uses the ApplicationArguments
interface
discussed earlier. The following example shows a CommandLineRunner
with a run
method:
import org.springframework.boot.*; import org.springframework.stereotype.*; @Component public class MyBean implements CommandLineRunner { public void run(String... args) { // Do something... } }
If several CommandLineRunner
or ApplicationRunner
beans are defined that must be
called in a specific order, you can additionally implement the
org.springframework.core.Ordered
interface or use the
org.springframework.core.annotation.Order
annotation.
Each SpringApplication
registers a shutdown hook with the JVM to ensure that the
ApplicationContext
closes gracefully on exit. All the standard Spring lifecycle
callbacks (such as the DisposableBean
interface or the @PreDestroy
annotation) can be
used.
In addition, beans may implement the org.springframework.boot.ExitCodeGenerator
interface if they wish to return a specific exit code when SpringApplication.exit()
is
called. This exit code can then be passed to System.exit()
to return it as a status
code, as shown in the following example:
@SpringBootApplication public class ExitCodeApplication { @Bean public ExitCodeGenerator exitCodeGenerator() { return () -> 42; } public static void main(String[] args) { System.exit(SpringApplication .exit(SpringApplication.run(ExitCodeApplication.class, args))); } }
Also, the ExitCodeGenerator
interface may be implemented by exceptions. When such an
exception is encountered, Spring Boot returns the exit code provided by the implemented
getExitCode()
method.
It is possible to enable admin-related features for the application by specifying the
spring.application.admin.enabled
property. This exposes the
SpringApplicationAdminMXBean
on the platform MBeanServer
. You could use this feature to administer your Spring Boot
application remotely. This feature could also be useful for any service wrapper
implementation.

Spring Boot lets you externalize your configuration so that you can work with the same
application code in different environments. You can use properties files, YAML files,
environment variables, and command-line arguments to externalize configuration. Property
values can be injected directly into your beans by using the @Value
annotation,
accessed through Spring’s Environment
abstraction, or be
bound to structured
objects through @ConfigurationProperties
.
Spring Boot uses a very particular PropertySource
order that is designed to allow
sensible overriding of values. Properties are considered in the following order:
~/.spring-boot-devtools.properties
when devtools is active).@TestPropertySource
annotations on your tests.@SpringBootTest#properties
annotation attribute on your tests.SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON
(inline JSON embedded in an environment
variable or system property).ServletConfig
init parameters.ServletContext
init parameters.java:comp/env
.System.getProperties()
).RandomValuePropertySource
that has properties only in random.*
.application-{profile}.properties
and YAML variants).application-{profile}.properties
and YAML variants).application.properties
and YAML
variants).application.properties
and YAML
variants).@PropertySource
annotations on your @Configuration
classes.SpringApplication.setDefaultProperties
).To provide a concrete example, suppose you develop a @Component
that uses a name
property, as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.stereotype.*; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.*; @Component public class MyBean { @Value("${name}") private String name; // ... }
On your application classpath (for example, inside your jar) you can have an
application.properties
file that provides a sensible default property value for name
.
When running in a new environment, an application.properties
file can be provided
outside of your jar that overrides the name
. For one-off testing, you can launch with a
specific command line switch (for example, java -jar app.jar --name="Spring"
).

The $ SPRING_APPLICATION_JSON='{"acme":{"name":"test"}}' java -jar myapp.jar In the preceding example, you end up with $ java -Dspring.application.json='{"name":"test"}' -jar myapp.jar You can also supply the JSON by using a command line argument, as shown in the following example: $ java -jar myapp.jar --spring.application.json='{"name":"test"}' You can also supply the JSON as a JNDI variable, as follows:
|
The RandomValuePropertySource
is useful for injecting random values (for example, into
secrets or test cases). It can produce integers, longs, uuids, or strings, as shown in the
following example:
my.secret=${random.value} my.number=${random.int} my.bignumber=${random.long} my.uuid=${random.uuid} my.number.less.than.ten=${random.int(10)} my.number.in.range=${random.int[1024,65536]}
The random.int*
syntax is OPEN value (,max) CLOSE
where the OPEN,CLOSE
are any
character and value,max
are integers. If max
is provided, then value
is the minimum
value and max
is the maximum value (exclusive).
By default, SpringApplication
converts any command line option arguments (that is,
arguments starting with --
, such as --server.port=9000
) to a property
and adds
them to the Spring Environment
. As mentioned previously, command line properties always
take precedence over other property sources.
If you do not want command line properties to be added to the Environment
, you can
disable them by using SpringApplication.setAddCommandLineProperties(false)
.
SpringApplication
loads properties from application.properties
files in the following
locations and adds them to the Spring Environment
:
/config
subdirectory of the current directory/config
packageThe list is ordered by precedence (properties defined in locations higher in the list override those defined in lower locations).
![]() | Note |
---|---|
You can also use YAML ('.yml') files as an alternative to '.properties'. |
If you do not like application.properties
as the configuration file name, you can
switch to another file name by specifying a spring.config.name
environment property.
You can also refer to an explicit location by using the spring.config.location
environment property (which is a comma-separated list of directory locations or file
paths). The following example shows how to specify a different file name:
$ java -jar myproject.jar --spring.config.name=myproject
The following example shows how to specify two locations:
$ java -jar myproject.jar --spring.config.location=classpath:/default.properties,classpath:/override.properties
![]() | Warning |
---|---|
|
If spring.config.location
contains directories (as opposed to files), they should end
in /
(and, at runtime, be appended with the names generated from spring.config.name
before being loaded, including profile-specific file names). Files specified in
spring.config.location
are used as-is, with no support for profile-specific variants,
and are overridden by any profile-specific properties.
Config locations are searched in reverse order. By default, the configured locations are
classpath:/,classpath:/config/,file:./,file:./config/
. The resulting search order is
the following:
file:./config/
file:./
classpath:/config/
classpath:/
When custom config locations are configured by using spring.config.location
, they
replace the default locations. For example, if spring.config.location
is configured with
the value classpath:/custom-config/,file:./custom-config/
, the search order becomes the
following:
file:./custom-config/
classpath:custom-config/
Alternatively, when custom config locations are configured by using
spring.config.additional-location
, they are used in addition to the default locations.
Additional locations are searched before the default locations. For example, if
additional locations of classpath:/custom-config/,file:./custom-config/
are configured,
the search order becomes the following:
file:./custom-config/
classpath:custom-config/
file:./config/
file:./
classpath:/config/
classpath:/
This search ordering lets you specify default values in one configuration file and then
selectively override those values in another. You can provide default values for your
application in application.properties
(or whatever other basename you choose with
spring.config.name
) in one of the default locations. These default values can then be
overridden at runtime with a different file located in one of the custom locations.

In addition to application.properties
files, profile-specific properties can also be
defined by using the following naming convention: application-{profile}.properties
. The
Environment
has a set of default profiles (by default, [default]
) that are used if no
active profiles are set. In other words, if no profiles are explicitly activated, then
properties from application-default.properties
are loaded.
Profile-specific properties are loaded from the same locations as standard
application.properties
, with profile-specific files always overriding the non-specific
ones, whether or not the profile-specific files are inside or outside your
packaged jar.
If several profiles are specified, a last-wins strategy applies. For example, profiles
specified by the spring.profiles.active
property are added after those configured
through the SpringApplication
API and therefore take precedence.

YAML is a superset of JSON and, as such, is a convenient format for
specifying hierarchical configuration data. The SpringApplication
class automatically

SnakeYAML library on your classpath.

Spring Framework provides two convenient classes that can be used to load YAML documents.
The YamlPropertiesFactoryBean
loads YAML as Properties
and the YamlMapFactoryBean
loads YAML as a Map
.
For example, consider the following YAML document:
environments: dev: url: http://dev.example.com name: Developer Setup prod: url: http://another.example.com name: My Cool App
The preceding example would be transformed into the following properties:
environments.dev.url=http://dev.example.com environments.dev.name=Developer Setup environments.prod.url=http://another.example.com environments.prod.name=My Cool App
YAML lists are represented as property keys with [index]
dereferencers. For example,
consider the following YAML:
my: servers: - dev.example.com - another.example.com
The preceding example would be transformed into these properties:
my.servers[0]=dev.example.com my.servers[1]=another.example.com
To bind to properties like that by using Spring Boot’s Binder
utilities (which is what
@ConfigurationProperties
does), you need to have a property in the target bean of type
java.util.List
(or Set
) and you either need to provide a setter or initialize it with
a mutable value. For example, the following example binds to the properties shown
previously:
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="my") public class Config { private List<String> servers = new ArrayList<String>(); public List<String> getServers() { return this.servers; } }
The YamlPropertySourceLoader
class can be used to expose YAML as a PropertySource
in
the Spring Environment
. Doing so lets you use the @Value
annotation with placeholders
syntax to access YAML properties.
You can specify multiple profile-specific YAML documents in a single file by using a
spring.profiles
key to indicate when the document applies, as shown in the following
example:
server: address: 192.168.1.100 --- spring: profiles: development server: address: 127.0.0.1 --- spring: profiles: production server: address: 192.168.1.120
In the preceding example, if the development
profile is active, the server.address
property is 127.0.0.1
. Similarly, if the production
profile is active, the
server.address
property is 192.168.1.120
. If the development
and production
profiles are not enabled, then the value for the property is 192.168.1.100
.
If none are explicitly active when the application context starts, the default profiles
are activated. So, in the following YAML, we set a value for spring.security.user.password
that is available only in the "default" profile:
server: port: 8000 --- spring: profiles: default security: user: password: weak
Whereas, in the following example, the password is always set because it is not attached to any profile, and it would have to be explicitly reset in all other profiles as necessary:
server: port: 8000 spring: security: user: password: weak
Spring profiles designated by using the spring.profiles
element may optionally be
negated by using the !
character. If both negated and non-negated profiles are
specified for a single document, at least one non-negated profile must match, and no
negated profiles may match.
Using the @Value("${property}")
annotation to inject configuration properties can
sometimes be cumbersome, especially if you are working with multiple properties or your
data is hierarchical in nature. Spring Boot provides an alternative method of working
with properties that lets strongly typed beans govern and validate the configuration of
your application, as shown in the following example:
package com.example; import java.net.InetAddress; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.List; import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties; @ConfigurationProperties("acme") public class AcmeProperties { private boolean enabled; private InetAddress remoteAddress; private final Security security = new Security(); public boolean isEnabled() { ... } public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) { ... } public InetAddress getRemoteAddress() { ... } public void setRemoteAddress(InetAddress remoteAddress) { ... } public Security getSecurity() { ... } public static class Security { private String username; private String password; private List<String> roles = new ArrayList<>(Collections.singleton("USER")); public String getUsername() { ... } public void setUsername(String username) { ... } public String getPassword() { ... } public void setPassword(String password) { ... } public List<String> getRoles() { ... } public void setRoles(List<String> roles) { ... } } }
The preceding POJO defines the following properties:
acme.enabled
, with a value of false
by default.acme.remote-address
, with a type that can be coerced from String
.acme.security.username
, with a nested "security" object whose name is determined by
the name of the property. In particular, the return type is not used at all there and
could have been SecurityProperties
.acme.security.password
.acme.security.roles
, with a collection of String

Getters and setters are usually mandatory, since binding is through standard Java Beans property descriptors, just like in Spring MVC. A setter may be omitted in the following cases:
Some people use Project Lombok to add getters and setters automatically. Make sure that Lombok does not generate any particular constructor for such a type, as it is used automatically by the container to instantiate the object. Finally, only standard Java Bean properties are considered and binding on static properties are not supported. |

Even if the preceding configuration creates a regular bean for AcmeProperties
, we
recommend that @ConfigurationProperties
only deal with the environment and, in
particular, does not inject other beans from the context. Having said that, the
@EnableConfigurationProperties
annotation is also automatically applied to your
project so that any existing bean annotated with @ConfigurationProperties
is
configured from the Environment
. You could shortcut MyConfiguration
by making sure
AcmeProperties
is already a bean, as shown in the following example:
@Component @ConfigurationProperties(prefix="acme") public class AcmeProperties { // ... see the preceding example }
This style of configuration works particularly well with the SpringApplication
external
YAML configuration, as shown in the following example:
# application.yml acme: remote-address: 192.168.1.1 security: username: admin roles: - USER - ADMIN # additional configuration as required
To work with @ConfigurationProperties
beans, you can inject them in the same way
as any other bean, as shown in the following example:
@Service public class MyService { private final AcmeProperties properties; @Autowired public MyService(AcmeProperties properties) { this.properties = properties; } //... @PostConstruct public void openConnection() { Server server = new Server(this.properties.getRemoteAddress()); // ... } }

Using |
As well as using @ConfigurationProperties
to annotate a class, you can also use it on
public @Bean
methods. Doing so can be particularly useful when you want to bind
properties to third-party components that are outside of your control.
To configure a bean from the Environment
properties, add @ConfigurationProperties
to
its bean registration, as shown in the following example:
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "another") @Bean public AnotherComponent anotherComponent() { ... }
Any property defined with the another
prefix is mapped onto that AnotherComponent
bean
in manner similar to the preceding AcmeProperties
example.
Spring Boot uses some relaxed rules for binding Environment
properties to
@ConfigurationProperties
beans, so there does not need to be an exact match between the
Environment
property name and the bean property name. Common examples where this is
useful include dash-separated environment properties (for example, context-path
binds
to contextPath
), and capitalized environment properties (for example, PORT
binds to
port
).
For example, consider the following @ConfigurationProperties
class:
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="acme.my-project.person") public class OwnerProperties { private String firstName; public String getFirstName() { return this.firstName; } public void setFirstName(String firstName) { this.firstName = firstName; } }
In the preceding example, the following properties names can all be used:

When lists are configured in more than one place, overriding works by replacing the entire list.
For example, assume a MyPojo
object with name
and description
attributes that are
null
by default. The following example exposes a list of MyPojo
objects from
AcmeProperties
:
@ConfigurationProperties("acme") public class AcmeProperties { private final List<MyPojo> list = new ArrayList<>(); public List<MyPojo> getList() { return this.list; } }
Consider the following configuration:
acme: list: - name: my name description: my description --- spring: profiles: dev acme: list: - name: my another name
If the dev
profile is not active, AcmeProperties.list
contains one MyPojo
entry,
as previously defined. If the dev
profile is enabled, however, the list
still
contains only one entry (with a name of my another name
and a description of null
).
This configuration does not add a second MyPojo
instance to the list, and it does not
merge the items.
When a List
is specified in multiple profiles, the one with the highest priority
(and only that one) is used. Consider the following example:
acme: list: - name: my name description: my description - name: another name description: another description --- spring: profiles: dev acme: list: - name: my another name
In the preceding example, if the dev
profile is active, AcmeProperties.list
contains
one MyPojo
entry (with a name of my another name
and a description of null
).
For YAML, both comma-separated lists and YAML lists can be used for
completely overriding the contents of the list.
For Map
properties, you can bind with property values drawn from multiple sources. However,
for the same property in multiple sources, the one with the highest priority is used.
The following example exposes a Map<String, MyPojo>
from AcmeProperties
:
@ConfigurationProperties("acme") public class AcmeProperties { private final Map<String, MyPojo> map = new HashMap<>(); public Map<String, MyPojo> getMap() { return this.map; } }
Consider the following configuration:
acme: map: key1: name: my name 1 description: my description 1 --- spring: profiles: dev acme: map: key1: name: dev name 1 key2: name: dev name 2 description: dev description 2
If the dev
profile is not active, AcmeProperties.map
contains one entry with key key1
(with a name of my name 1
and a description of my description 1
).
If the dev
profile is enabled, however, map
contains two entries with keys key1
(with a name of dev name 1
and a description of my description 1
) and
key2
(with a name of dev name 2
and a description of dev description 2
).

Spring Boot attempts to coerce the external application properties to the right type when
it binds to the @ConfigurationProperties

bean) or custom Converters

Spring Boot has dedicated support for expressing durations. If you expose a
java.time.Duration
property, the following formats in application properties are
available:
long
representation (using milliseconds as the default unit unless a
@DurationUnit
has been specified)java.util.Duration
10s
means 10
seconds)Consider the following example:
@ConfigurationProperties("app.system") public class AppSystemProperties { @DurationUnit(ChronoUnit.SECONDS) private Duration sessionTimeout = Duration.ofSeconds(30); private Duration readTimeout = Duration.ofMillis(1000); public Duration getSessionTimeout() { return this.sessionTimeout; } public void setSessionTimeout(Duration sessionTimeout) { this.sessionTimeout = sessionTimeout; } public Duration getReadTimeout() { return this.readTimeout; } public void setReadTimeout(Duration readTimeout) { this.readTimeout = readTimeout; } }
To specify a session timeout of 30 seconds, 30
, PT30S
and 30s
are all equivalent. A
read timeout of 500ms can be specified in any of the following form: 500
, PT0.5S
and
500ms
.
You can also use any of the supported unit. These are:
ns
for nanosecondsms
for millisecondss
for secondsm
for minutesh

to your fields, as shown in the following example:

Although nested properties will also be validated when bound, it’s good practice to
also annotate the associated field as @Valid
. This ensure that validation is triggered
even if no nested properties are found. The following example builds on the preceding
AcmeProperties
example:
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="acme") @Validated public class AcmeProperties { @NotNull private InetAddress remoteAddress; @Valid private final Security security = new Security(); // ... getters and setters public static class Security { @NotEmpty public String username; // ... getters and setters } }
You can also add a custom Spring Validator
by creating a bean definition called
configurationPropertiesValidator
. The @Bean
method should be declared static
. The
configuration properties validator is created very early in the application’s lifecycle,
and declaring the @Bean
method as static lets the bean be created without having to
instantiate the @Configuration
class. Doing so avoids any problems that may be caused
by early instantiation. There is a
property
validation sample that shows how to set things up.

The @Value
annotation is a core container feature, and it does not provide the same
features as type-safe configuration properties. The following table summarizes the
features that are supported by @ConfigurationProperties
and @Value
:
Feature | @ConfigurationProperties | @Value |
---|---|---|
Yes | No | |
Yes | No | |
| No | Yes |
If you define a set of configuration keys for your own components, we recommend you
group them in a POJO annotated with @ConfigurationProperties
. You should also be aware
that, since @Value
does not support relaxed binding, it is not a good candidate if you
need to provide the value by using environment variables.
Finally, while you can write a SpEL
expression in @Value
, such expressions are not
processed from application
property files.
Spring Profiles provide a way to segregate parts of your application configuration and
make it be available only in certain environments. Any @Component
or @Configuration
can be marked with @Profile
to limit when it is loaded, as shown in the following
example:
@Configuration @Profile("production") public class ProductionConfiguration { // ... }
You can use a spring.profiles.active
Environment
property to specify which profiles
are active. You can specify the property in any of the ways described earlier in this
chapter. For example, you could include it in your application.properties
, as shown in
the following example:
spring.profiles.active=dev,hsqldb
You could also specify it on the command line by using the following switch:
--spring.profiles.active=dev,hsqldb
.
The spring.profiles.active
property follows the same ordering rules as other
properties: The highest PropertySource
wins. This means that you can specify active
profiles in application.properties
and then replace them by using the command line
switch.
Sometimes, it is useful to have profile-specific properties that add to the active
profiles rather than replace them. The spring.profiles.include
property can be used to
unconditionally add active profiles. The SpringApplication
entry point also has a Java
API for setting additional profiles (that is, on top of those activated by the
spring.profiles.active
property). See the setAdditionalProfiles()
method in
SpringApplication.
For example, when an application with the following properties is run by using the
switch, --spring.profiles.active=prod
, the proddb
and prodmq
profiles are also
activated:

Spring Boot uses Commons Logging for all internal logging but leaves the underlying log implementation open. Default configurations are provided for Java Util Logging, Log4J2, and Logback. In each case, loggers are pre-configured to use console output with optional file output also available.
By default, if you use the “Starters”, Logback is used for logging. Appropriate Logback routing is also included to ensure that dependent libraries that use Java Util Logging, Commons Logging, Log4J, or SLF4J all work correctly.

There are a lot of logging frameworks available for Java. Do not worry if the above list seems confusing. Generally, you do not need to change your logging dependencies and the Spring Boot defaults work just fine. |
The default log output from Spring Boot resembles the following example:

When the debug mode is enabled, a selection of core loggers (embedded container,
Hibernate, and Spring Boot) are configured to output more information. Enabling the debug
mode does not configure your application to log all messages with DEBUG
level.
Alternatively, you can enable a “trace” mode by starting your application with a
--trace
flag (or trace=true
in your application.properties
). Doing so enables trace
logging for a selection of core loggers (embedded container, Hibernate schema generation,
and the whole Spring portfolio).
If your terminal supports ANSI, color output is used to aid readability. You can set
spring.output.ansi.enabled
to a
supported value to override the auto
detection.
Color coding is configured by using the %clr
conversion word. In its simplest form, the
converter colors the output according to the log level, as shown in the following
example:
%clr(%5p)
The following table describes the mapping of log levels to colors:
Level | Color |
---|---|
| Red |
| Red |
| Yellow |
| Green |
| Green |
| Green |
Alternatively, you can specify the color or style that should be used by providing it as an option to the conversion. For example, to make the text yellow, use the following setting:
%clr(%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}){yellow}
The following colors and styles are supported:
blue
cyan
faint
green
magenta
red
yellow
By default, Spring Boot logs only to the console and does not write log files. If you
want to write log files in addition to the console output, you need to set a
logging.file
or logging.path
property (for example, in your
application.properties
).
The following table shows how the logging.*
properties can be used together:

using the logging.file.max-size

logger can be configured by using logging.level.root
.
The following example shows potential logging settings in application.properties
:

The various logging systems can be activated by including the appropriate libraries on
the classpath and can be further customized by providing a suitable configuration file in
the root of the classpath or in a location specified by the following Spring Environment
property: logging.config
.
You can force Spring Boot to use a particular logging system by using the
org.springframework.boot.logging.LoggingSystem
system property. The value should be the

The <springProfile>
tag lets you optionally include or exclude sections of
configuration based on the active Spring profiles. Profile sections are supported
anywhere within the <configuration>
element. Use the name
attribute to specify which
profile accepts the configuration. Multiple profiles can be specified with a
comma-separated list. The following listing shows three sample profiles:
<springProfile name="staging"> <!-- configuration to be enabled when the "staging" profile is active --> </springProfile> <springProfile name="dev, staging"> <!-- configuration to be enabled when the "dev" or "staging" profiles are active --> </springProfile> <springProfile name="!production"> <!-- configuration to be enabled when the "production" profile is not active --> </springProfile>
The <springProperty>
tag lets you expose properties from the Spring Environment
for
use within Logback. Doing so can be useful if you want to access values from your
application.properties
file in your Logback configuration. The tag works in a similar
way to Logback’s standard <property>
tag. However, rather than specifying a direct
value
, you specify the source
of the property (from the Environment
). If you need
to store the property somewhere other than in local
scope, you can use the scope
attribute. If you need a fallback value (in case the property is not set in the
Environment
), you can use the defaultValue
attribute. The following example shows how
to expose properties for use within Logback:
<springProperty scope="context" name="fluentHost" source="myapp.fluentd.host" defaultValue="localhost"/> <appender name="FLUENT" class="ch.qos.logback.more.appenders.DataFluentAppender"> <remoteHost>${fluentHost}</remoteHost> ... </appender>

Spring Boot is well suited for web application development. You can create a
self-contained HTTP server by using embedded Tomcat, Jetty, Undertow, or Netty. Most web
applications use the spring-boot-starter-web
module to get up and running quickly. You
can also choose to build reactive web applications by using the
spring-boot-starter-webflux
module.
If you have not yet developed a Spring Boot web application, you can follow the "Hello World!" example in the Getting started section.
The Spring Web MVC framework (often referred to as simply
“Spring MVC”) is a rich “model view controller” web framework. Spring MVC lets you
create special @Controller
or @RestController
beans to handle incoming HTTP requests.
Methods in your controller are mapped to HTTP by using @RequestMapping
annotations.
The following code shows a typical @RestController
that serves JSON data:
@RestController @RequestMapping(value="/users") public class MyRestController { @RequestMapping(value="/{user}", method=RequestMethod.GET) public User getUser(@PathVariable Long user) { // ... } @RequestMapping(value="/{user}/customers", method=RequestMethod.GET) List<Customer> getUserCustomers(@PathVariable Long user) { // ... } @RequestMapping(value="/{user}", method=RequestMethod.DELETE) public User deleteUser(@PathVariable Long user) { // ... } }
Spring MVC is part of the core Spring Framework, and detailed information is available in the reference documentation. There are also several guides that cover Spring MVC available at spring.io/guides.
Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for Spring MVC that works well with most applications.
The auto-configuration adds the following features on top of Spring’s defaults:
ContentNegotiatingViewResolver
and BeanNameViewResolver
beans.Converter
, GenericConverter
, and Formatter
beans.HttpMessageConverters
(covered
later in this document).MessageCodesResolver
(covered
later in this document).index.html
support.Favicon
support (covered later in this
document).ConfigurableWebBindingInitializer
bean (covered
later in this document).If you want to keep Spring Boot MVC features and you want to add additional
MVC configuration (interceptors, formatters, view
controllers, and other features), you can add your own @Configuration
class of type
WebMvcConfigurer
but without @EnableWebMvc
. If you wish to provide custom
instances of RequestMappingHandlerMapping
, RequestMappingHandlerAdapter
, or
ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver
, you can declare a WebMvcRegistrationsAdapter
instance to provide such components.
If you want to take complete control of Spring MVC, you can add your own @Configuration
annotated with @EnableWebMvc
.
Spring MVC uses the HttpMessageConverter
interface to convert HTTP requests and
responses. Sensible defaults are included out of the box. For example, objects can be
automatically converted to JSON (by using the Jackson library) or XML (by using the
Jackson XML extension, if available, or by using JAXB if the Jackson XML extension is not
available). By default, strings are encoded in UTF-8
.
If you need to add or customize converters, you can use Spring Boot’s
HttpMessageConverters
class, as shown in the following listing:
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.HttpMessageConverters; import org.springframework.context.annotation.*; import org.springframework.http.converter.*; @Configuration public class MyConfiguration { @Bean public HttpMessageConverters customConverters() { HttpMessageConverter<?> additional = ... HttpMessageConverter<?> another = ... return new HttpMessageConverters(additional, another); } }
Any HttpMessageConverter
bean that is present in the context is added to the list of
converters. You can also override default converters in the same way.
If you use Jackson to serialize and deserialize JSON data, you might want to write your
own JsonSerializer
and JsonDeserializer
classes. Custom serializers are usually
registered with Jackson through
a module, but Spring Boot provides an alternative @JsonComponent
annotation that makes
it easier to directly register Spring Beans.
You can use the @JsonComponent
annotation directly on JsonSerializer
or
JsonDeserializer
implementations. You can also use it on classes that contain
serializers/deserializers as inner classes, as shown in the following example:
import java.io.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.core.*; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.*; import org.springframework.boot.jackson.*; @JsonComponent public class Example { public static class Serializer extends JsonSerializer<SomeObject> { // ... } public static class Deserializer extends JsonDeserializer<SomeObject> { // ... } }
All @JsonComponent
beans in the ApplicationContext
are automatically registered with
Jackson. Because @JsonComponent
is meta-annotated with @Component
, the usual
component-scanning rules apply.
Spring Boot also provides
JsonObjectSerializer
and
JsonObjectDeserializer
base
classes that provide useful alternatives to the standard Jackson versions when
serializing objects. See
JsonObjectSerializer
and JsonObjectDeserializer
in
the Javadoc for details.
Spring MVC has a strategy for generating error codes for rendering error messages from
binding errors: MessageCodesResolver
. If you set the
spring.mvc.message-codes-resolver.format
property PREFIX_ERROR_CODE
or
POSTFIX_ERROR_CODE
, Spring Boot creates one for you (see the enumeration in
DefaultMessageCodesResolver.Format
).
By default, Spring Boot serves static content from a directory called /static
(or
/public
or /resources
or /META-INF/resources
) in the classpath or from the root of
the ServletContext
. It uses the ResourceHttpRequestHandler
from Spring MVC so that
you can modify that behavior by adding your own WebMvcConfigurer
and overriding the
addResourceHandlers
method.
In a stand-alone web application, the default servlet from the container is also enabled
and acts as a fallback, serving content from the root of the ServletContext
if Spring
decides not to handle it. Most of the time, this does not happen (unless you modify the
default MVC configuration), because Spring can always handle requests through the
DispatcherServlet
.
By default, resources are mapped on /**
, but you can tune that with the
spring.mvc.static-path-pattern
property. For instance, relocating all resources to
/resources/**
can be achieved as follows:
spring.mvc.static-path-pattern=/resources/**
You can also customize the static resource locations by using the
spring.resources.static-locations
property (replacing the default values with a list of
directory locations). The root Servlet context path, "/"
, is automatically added as a
location as well.
In addition to the “standard” static resource locations mentioned earlier, a special
case is made for Webjars content. Any resources with a path in
/webjars/**
are served from jar files if they are packaged in the Webjars format.

Spring Boot also supports the advanced resource handling features provided by Spring MVC, allowing use cases such as cache-busting static resources or using version agnostic URLs for Webjars.
To use version agnostic URLs for Webjars, add the webjars-locator-core
dependency.
Then declare your Webjar. Using jQuery as an example, adding
"/webjars/jquery/jquery.min.js"
results in
"/webjars/jquery/x.y.z/jquery.min.js"
. where x.y.z
is the Webjar version.

To use cache busting, the following configuration configures a cache busting solution for
all static resources, effectively adding a content hash, such as
<link href="/css/spring-2a2d595e6ed9a0b24f027f2b63b134d6.css"/>
, in URLs:
spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.enabled=true spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.paths=/**

When loading resources dynamically with, for example, a JavaScript module loader, renaming files is not an option. That is why other strategies are also supported and can be combined. A "fixed" strategy adds a static version string in the URL without changing the file name, as shown in the following example:
spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.enabled=true spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.paths=/** spring.resources.chain.strategy.fixed.enabled=true spring.resources.chain.strategy.fixed.paths=/js/lib/ spring.resources.chain.strategy.fixed.version=v12
With this configuration, JavaScript modules located under "/js/lib/"
use a fixed
versioning strategy ("/v12/js/lib/mymodule.js"
), while other resources still use the
content one (<link href="/css/spring-2a2d595e6ed9a0b24f027f2b63b134d6.css"/>
).
See ResourceProperties
for more supported options.

This feature has been thoroughly described in a dedicated blog post and in Spring Framework’s reference documentation. |
Spring Boot supports both static and templated welcome pages. It first looks for an
index.html
file in the configured static content locations. If one is not found, it
then looks for an index
template. If either is found, it is automatically used as the
welcome page of the application.
Spring Boot looks for a favicon.ico
in the configured static content locations and the
root of the classpath (in that order). If such a file is present, it is automatically
used as the favicon of the application.
Spring MVC can map incoming HTTP requests to handlers by looking at the request path and
matching it to the mappings defined in your application (for example, @GetMapping
annotations on Controller methods).
Spring Boot chooses to disable suffix pattern matching by default, which means that
requests like "GET /projects/spring-boot.json"
won’t be matched to
@GetMapping("/projects/spring-boot")
mappings.
This is considered as a
best practice
for Spring MVC applications. This feature was mainly useful in the past for HTTP
clients which did not send proper "Accept" request headers; we needed to make sure
to send the correct Content Type to the client. Nowadays, Content Negotiation
is much more reliable.
There are other ways to deal with HTTP clients that don’t consistently send proper
"Accept" request headers. Instead of using suffix matching, we can use a query
parameter to ensure that requests like "GET /projects/spring-boot?format=json"
will be mapped to @GetMapping("/projects/spring-boot")
:
spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.favor-parameter=true # We can change the parameter name, which is "format" by default: # spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.parameter-name=myparam # We can also register additional file extensions/media types with: spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.media-types.markdown=text/markdown
If you understand the caveats and would still like your application to use suffix pattern matching, the following configuration is required:
spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.favor-path-extension=true # You can also restrict that feature to known extensions only # spring.mvc.pathmatch.use-registered-suffix-pattern=true # We can also register additional file extensions/media types with: # spring.mvc.contentnegotiation.media-types.adoc=text/asciidoc
Spring MVC uses a WebBindingInitializer
to initialize a WebDataBinder
for a
particular request. If you create your own ConfigurableWebBindingInitializer
@Bean
,
Spring Boot automatically configures Spring MVC to use it.
As well as REST web services, you can also use Spring MVC to serve dynamic HTML content. Spring MVC supports a variety of templating technologies, including Thymeleaf, FreeMarker, and JSPs. Also, many other templating engines include their own Spring MVC integrations.
Spring Boot includes auto-configuration support for the following templating engines:
![]() | Tip |

Depending on how you run your application, IntelliJ IDEA orders the classpath
differently. Running your application in the IDE from its main method results in a
different ordering than when you run your application by using Maven or Gradle or from
its packaged jar. This can cause Spring Boot to fail to find the templates on the
classpath. If you have this problem, you can reorder the classpath in the IDE to place
the module’s classes and resources first. Alternatively, you can configure the template
prefix to search every |
By default, Spring Boot provides an /error
mapping that handles all errors in a
sensible way, and it is registered as a “global” error page in the servlet container.
For machine clients, it produces a JSON response with details of the error, the HTTP
status, and the exception message. For browser clients, there is a “whitelabel” error
view that renders the same data in HTML format (to customize it, add a View
that
resolves to error
). To replace the default behavior completely, you can implement
ErrorController
and register a bean definition of that type or add a bean of type
ErrorAttributes
to use the existing mechanism but replace the contents.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
The |
You can also define a class annotated with @ControllerAdvice
to customize the JSON
document to return for a particular controller and/or exception type, as shown in the
following example:
@ControllerAdvice(basePackageClasses = AcmeController.class) public class AcmeControllerAdvice extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler { @ExceptionHandler(YourException.class) @ResponseBody ResponseEntity<?> handleControllerException(HttpServletRequest request, Throwable ex) { HttpStatus status = getStatus(request); return new ResponseEntity<>(new CustomErrorType(status.value(), ex.getMessage()), status); } private HttpStatus getStatus(HttpServletRequest request) { Integer statusCode = (Integer) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.error.status_code"); if (statusCode == null) { return HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR; } return HttpStatus.valueOf(statusCode); } }
In the preceding example, if YourException
is thrown by a controller defined in the
same package as AcmeController
, a JSON representation of the CustomErrorType
POJO is
used instead of the ErrorAttributes
representation.
If you want to display a custom HTML error page for a given status code, you can add a
file to an /error
folder. Error pages can either be static HTML (that is, added under
any of the static resource folders) or be built by using templates. The name of the file
should be the exact status code or a series mask.
For example, to map 404
to a static HTML file, your folder structure would be as
follows:
src/ +- main/ +- java/ | + <source code> +- resources/ +- public/ +- error/ | +- 404.html +- <other public assets>
To map all 5xx
errors by using a FreeMarker template, your folder structure would be as
follows:
src/ +- main/ +- java/ | + <source code> +- resources/ +- templates/ +- error/ | +- 5xx.ftl +- <other templates>
For more complex mappings, you can also add beans that implement the ErrorViewResolver
interface, as shown in the following example:
public class MyErrorViewResolver implements ErrorViewResolver { @Override public ModelAndView resolveErrorView(HttpServletRequest request, HttpStatus status, Map<String, Object> model) { // Use the request or status to optionally return a ModelAndView return ... } }
You can also use regular Spring MVC features such as
@ExceptionHandler
methods and
@ControllerAdvice
. The
ErrorController
then picks up any unhandled exceptions.
For applications that do not use Spring MVC, you can use the ErrorPageRegistrar
interface to directly register ErrorPages
. This abstraction works directly with the
underlying embedded servlet container and works even if you do not have a Spring MVC
DispatcherServlet
.
@Bean public ErrorPageRegistrar errorPageRegistrar(){ return new MyErrorPageRegistrar(); } // ... private static class MyErrorPageRegistrar implements ErrorPageRegistrar { @Override public void registerErrorPages(ErrorPageRegistry registry) { registry.addErrorPages(new ErrorPage(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, "/400")); } }

If you register an |
@Bean public FilterRegistrationBean myFilter() { FilterRegistrationBean registration = new FilterRegistrationBean(); registration.setFilter(new MyFilter()); ... registration.setDispatcherTypes(EnumSet.allOf(DispatcherType.class)); return registration; }
Note that the default FilterRegistrationBean
does not include the ERROR
dispatcher
type.
CAUTION:When deployed to a servlet container, Spring Boot uses its error page filter to
forward a request with an error status to the appropriate error page. The request can only
be forwarded to the correct error page if the response has not already been committed. By
default, WebSphere Application Server 8.0 and later commits the response upon successful
completion of a servlet’s service method. You should disable this behavior by setting
com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokeFlushAfterService
to false
.
If you develop a RESTful API that makes use of hypermedia, Spring Boot provides
auto-configuration for Spring HATEOAS that works well with most applications. The
auto-configuration replaces the need to use @EnableHypermediaSupport
and registers a
number of beans to ease building hypermedia-based applications, including a
LinkDiscoverers
(for client side support) and an ObjectMapper
configured to correctly
marshal responses into the desired representation. The ObjectMapper
is customized by
setting the various spring.jackson.*
properties or, if one exists, by a
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
bean.
You can take control of Spring HATEOAS’s configuration by using
@EnableHypermediaSupport
. Note that doing so disables the ObjectMapper
customization
described earlier.
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a W3C specification implemented by most browsers that lets you specify in a flexible way what kind of cross-domain requests are authorized, instead of using some less secure and less powerful approaches such as IFRAME or JSONP.
As of version 4.2, Spring MVC supports CORS.
Using controller method
CORS configuration with
@CrossOrigin
annotations in your Spring Boot application does not require any specific configuration.
Global CORS configuration can be
defined by registering a WebMvcConfigurer
bean with a customized
addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry)
method, as shown in the following example:
@Configuration public class MyConfiguration { @Bean public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() { return new WebMvcConfigurer() { @Override public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) { registry.addMapping("/api/**"); } }; } }
Spring WebFlux is the new reactive web framework introduced in Spring Framework 5.0. Unlike Spring MVC, it does not require the Servlet API, is fully asynchronous and non-blocking, and implements the Reactive Streams specification through the Reactor project.
Spring WebFlux comes in two flavors: functional and annotation-based. The annotation-based one is quite close to the Spring MVC model, as shown in the following example:
@RestController @RequestMapping("/users") public class MyRestController { @GetMapping("/{user}") public Mono<User> getUser(@PathVariable Long user) { // ... } @GetMapping("/{user}/customers") public Flux<Customer> getUserCustomers(@PathVariable Long user) { // ... } @DeleteMapping("/{user}") public Mono<User> deleteUser(@PathVariable Long user) { // ... } }
“WebFlux.fn”, the functional variant, separates the routing configuration from the actual handling of the requests, as shown in the following example:
@Configuration public class RoutingConfiguration { @Bean public RouterFunction<ServerResponse> monoRouterFunction(UserHandler userHandler) { return route(GET("/{user}").and(accept(APPLICATION_JSON)), userHandler::getUser) .andRoute(GET("/{user}/customers").and(accept(APPLICATION_JSON)), userHandler::getUserCustomers) .andRoute(DELETE("/{user}").and(accept(APPLICATION_JSON)), userHandler::deleteUser); } } @Component public class UserHandler { public Mono<ServerResponse> getUser(ServerRequest request) { // ... } public Mono<ServerResponse> getUserCustomers(ServerRequest request) { // ... } public Mono<ServerResponse> deleteUser(ServerRequest request) { // ... } }
WebFlux is part of the Spring Framework and detailed information is available in its reference documentation.

Spring WebFlux uses the HttpMessageReader
and HttpMessageWriter
interfaces to convert
HTTP requests and responses. They are configured with CodecConfigurer
to have sensible
defaults by looking at the libraries available in your classpath.
Spring Boot applies further customization by using CodecCustomizer
instances. For
example, spring.jackson.*
configuration keys are applied to the Jackson codec.
If you need to add or customize codecs, you can create a custom CodecCustomizer
component, as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.boot.web.codec.CodecCustomizer; @Configuration public class MyConfiguration { @Bean public CodecCustomizer myCodecCustomizer() { return codecConfigurer -> { // ... } } }
You can also leverage Boot’s custom JSON serializers and deserializers.
By default, Spring Boot serves static content from a directory called /static
(or
/public
or /resources
or /META-INF/resources
) in the classpath. It uses the
ResourceWebHandler
from Spring WebFlux so that you can modify that behavior by adding
your own WebFluxConfigurer
and overriding the addResourceHandlers
method.
By default, resources are mapped on /**
, but you can tune that by setting the
spring.webflux.static-path-pattern
property. For instance, relocating all resources to
/resources/**
can be achieved as follows:
spring.webflux.static-path-pattern=/resources/**
You can also customize the static resource locations by using
spring.resources.static-locations
. Doing so replaces the default values with a list of
directory locations. If you do so, the default welcome page detection switches to your
custom locations. So, if there is an index.html
in any of your locations on startup, it
is the home page of the application.
In addition to the “standard” static resource locations listed earlier, a special case
is made for Webjars content. Any resources with a path in
/webjars/**
are served from jar files if they are packaged in the Webjars format.

As well as REST web services, you can also use Spring WebFlux to serve dynamic HTML content. Spring WebFlux supports a variety of templating technologies, including Thymeleaf, FreeMarker, and Mustache.
Spring Boot includes auto-configuration support for the following templating engines:
When you use one of these templating engines with the default configuration, your
templates are picked up automatically from src/main/resources/templates
.
Spring Boot provides a WebExceptionHandler
that handles all errors in a sensible way.
Its position in the processing order is immediately before the handlers provided by
WebFlux, which are considered last. For machine clients, it produces a JSON response
with details of the error, the HTTP status, and the exception message. For browser
clients, there is a “whitelabel” error handler that renders the same data in HTML
format. You can also provide your own HTML templates to display errors (see the
next section).
The first step to customizing this feature often involves using the existing mechanism
but replacing or augmenting the error contents. For that, you can add a bean of type
ErrorAttributes
.
To change the error handling behavior, you can implement ErrorWebExceptionHandler
and
register a bean definition of that type. Because a WebExceptionHandler
is quite
low-level, Spring Boot also provides a convenient AbstractErrorWebExceptionHandler
to
let you handle errors in a WebFlux functional way, as shown in the following example:
public class CustomErrorWebExceptionHandler extends AbstractErrorWebExceptionHandler { // Define constructor here @Override protected RouterFunction<ServerResponse> getRoutingFunction(ErrorAttributes errorAttributes) { return RouterFunctions .route(aPredicate, aHandler) .andRoute(anotherPredicate, anotherHandler); } }
For a more complete picture, you can also subclass DefaultErrorWebExceptionHandler
directly and override specific methods.
If you want to display a custom HTML error page for a given status code, you can add a
file to an /error
folder. Error pages can either be static HTML (that is, added under
any of the static resource folders) or built with templates. The name of the file should
be the exact status code or a series mask.
For example, to map 404
to a static HTML file, your folder structure would be as
follows:
src/ +- main/ +- java/ | + <source code> +- resources/ +- public/ +- error/ | +- 404.html +- <other public assets>
To map all 5xx
errors by using a Mustache template, your folder structure would be as
follows:
src/ +- main/ +- java/ | + <source code> +- resources/ +- templates/ +- error/ | +- 5xx.mustache +- <other templates>
Spring WebFlux provides a WebFilter
interface that can be implemented to filter HTTP
request-response exchanges. WebFilter
beans found in the application context will
be automatically used to filter each exchange.
Where the order of the filters is important they can implement Ordered
or be annotated
with @Order
. Spring Boot auto-configuration may configure web filters for you. When it
does so, the orders shown in the following table will be used:
Web Filter | Order |
---|---|
|
|
|

If you prefer the JAX-RS programming model for REST endpoints, you can use one of the
available implementations instead of Spring MVC. Jersey 1.x and
Apache CXF work quite well out of the box if you register their
Servlet
or Filter
as a @Bean
in your application context. Jersey 2.x has some native
Spring support, so we also provide auto-configuration support for it in Spring Boot,
together with a starter.
To get started with Jersey 2.x, include the spring-boot-starter-jersey
as a dependency
and then you need one @Bean
of type ResourceConfig
in which you register all the
endpoints, as shown in the following example:
@Component public class JerseyConfig extends ResourceConfig { public JerseyConfig() { register(Endpoint.class); } }
![]() | Warning |
---|---|
Jersey’s support for scanning executable archives is rather limited. For
example, it cannot scan for endpoints in a package found in |
For more advanced customizations, you can also register an arbitrary number of beans that
implement ResourceConfigCustomizer
.
All the registered endpoints should be @Components
with HTTP resource annotations
(@GET
and others), as shown in the following example:
@Component @Path("/hello") public class Endpoint { @GET public String message() { return "Hello"; } }
Since the Endpoint
is a Spring @Component
, its lifecycle is managed by Spring and you
can use the @Autowired
annotation to inject dependencies and use the @Value
annotation to inject external configuration. By default, the Jersey servlet is registered
and mapped to /*
. You can change the mapping by adding @ApplicationPath
to your
ResourceConfig
.
By default, Jersey is set up as a Servlet in a @Bean
of type ServletRegistrationBean
named jerseyServletRegistration
. By default, the servlet is initialized lazily, but you
can customize that behavior by setting spring.jersey.servlet.load-on-startup
. You can
disable or override that bean by creating one of your own with the same name. You can
also use a filter instead of a servlet by setting spring.jersey.type=filter
(in which
case, the @Bean
to replace or override is jerseyFilterRegistration
). The filter has
an @Order
, which you can set with spring.jersey.filter.order
. Both the servlet and
the filter registrations can be given init parameters by using spring.jersey.init.*
to
specify a map of properties.
There is a Jersey sample so
that you can see how to set things up. There is also a
Jersey 1.x sample. Note
that, in the Jersey 1.x sample, the spring-boot maven plugin has been configured to
unpack some Jersey jars so that they can be scanned by the JAX-RS implementation (because
the sample asks for them to be scanned in its Filter
registration). If any of your
JAX-RS resources are packaged as nested jars, you may need to do the same.
Spring Boot includes support for embedded Tomcat,
Jetty, and Undertow servers. Most
developers use the appropriate “Starter” to obtain a fully configured instance. By
default, the embedded server listens for HTTP requests on port 8080
.

When using an embedded servlet container, you can register servlets, filters, and all the
listeners (such as HttpSessionListener
) from the Servlet spec, either by using Spring
beans or by scanning for Servlet components.
Any Servlet
, Filter
, or servlet *Listener
instance that is a Spring bean is
registered with the embedded container. This can be particularly convenient if you want
to refer to a value from your application.properties
during configuration.
By default, if the context contains only a single Servlet, it is mapped to /
. In the
case of multiple servlet beans, the bean name is used as a path prefix. Filters map to
/*
.
If convention-based mapping is not flexible enough, you can use the
ServletRegistrationBean
, FilterRegistrationBean
, and
ServletListenerRegistrationBean
classes for complete control.
Spring Boot ships with many auto-configurations that may define Filter beans. Here are a few examples of Filters and their respective order (lower order value means higher precedence):
Servlet Filter | Order |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is usually safe to leave Filter beans unordered.
If a specific order is required, you should avoid configuring a Filter that reads the
request body at Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE
, since it might go against the character
encoding configuration of your application. If a Servlet filter wraps the request, it
should be configured with an order that is less than or equal to
FilterRegistrationBean.REQUEST_WRAPPER_FILTER_MAX_ORDER
.
Embedded servlet containers do not directly execute the Servlet 3.0+
javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer
interface or Spring’s
org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer
interface. This is an intentional
design decision intended to reduce the risk that third party libraries designed to run
inside a war may break Spring Boot applications.
If you need to perform servlet context initialization in a Spring Boot application, you
should register a bean that implements the
org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletContextInitializer
interface. The
single onStartup
method provides access to the ServletContext
and, if necessary, can
easily be used as an adapter to an existing WebApplicationInitializer
.
When using an embedded container, automatic registration of classes annotated with
@WebServlet
, @WebFilter
, and @WebListener
can be enabled by using
@ServletComponentScan
.

Under the hood, Spring Boot uses a different type of ApplicationContext
for embedded
servlet container support. The ServletWebServerApplicationContext
is a special type of
WebApplicationContext
that bootstraps itself by searching for a single
ServletWebServerFactory
bean. Usually a TomcatServletWebServerFactory
,
JettyServletWebServerFactory
, or UndertowServletWebServerFactory
has been auto-configured.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
You usually do not need to be aware of these implementation classes. Most
applications are auto-configured, and the appropriate |
Common servlet container settings can be configured by using Spring Environment
properties. Usually, you would define the properties in your application.properties
file.
Common server settings include:
server.port
), interface
address to bind to server.address
, and so on.server.servlet.session.persistence
),
session timeout (server.servlet.session.timeout
), location of session data
(server.servlet.session.store-dir
), and session-cookie configuration
(server.servlet.session.cookie.*
).server.error.path
) and so on.Spring Boot tries as much as possible to expose common settings, but this is not always
possible. For those cases, dedicated namespaces offer server-specific customizations (see
server.tomcat
and server.undertow
). For instance,
access logs can be configured with specific
features of the embedded servlet container.

If you need to programmatically configure your embedded servlet container, you can
register a Spring bean that implements the WebServerFactoryCustomizer
interface.
WebServerFactoryCustomizer
provides access to the
ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory
, which includes numerous customization setter
methods. Dedicated variants exist for Tomcat, Jetty, and Undertow. The following example
shows programmatically setting the port:
import org.springframework.boot.web.server.WebServerFactoryCustomizer; import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.server.ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class CustomizationBean implements WebServerFactoryCustomizer<ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory> { @Override public void customize(ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory server) { server.setPort(9000); } }
If the preceding customization techniques are too limited, you can register the
TomcatServletWebServerFactory
, JettyServletWebServerFactory
, or
UndertowServletWebServerFactory
bean yourself.
@Bean public ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory webServerFactory() { TomcatServletWebServerFactory factory = new TomcatServletWebServerFactory(); factory.setPort(9000); factory.setSessionTimeout(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES); factory.addErrorPages(new ErrorPage(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, "/notfound.html")); return factory; }
Setters are provided for many configuration options. Several protected method “hooks” are also provided should you need to do something more exotic. See the source code documentation for details.
When running a Spring Boot application that uses an embedded servlet container (and is packaged as an executable archive), there are some limitations in the JSP support.
error.jsp
page does not override the default view for
error handling.
Custom error pages should be used
instead.There is a JSP sample so that you can see how to set things up.
If Spring Security is on the classpath, then web applications are
secured by default. Spring Boot relies on Spring Security’s content-negotiation strategy
to determine whether to use httpBasic
or formLogin
. To add method-level security to a
web application, you can also add @EnableGlobalMethodSecurity
with your desired
settings. Additional information can be found in the
Spring Security Reference Guide.
The default UserDetailsService
has a single user. The user name is user
, and the
password is random and is printed at INFO level when the application starts, as shown in
the following example:
Using generated security password: 78fa095d-3f4c-48b1-ad50-e24c31d5cf35
![]() | Note |

If you fine-tune your logging configuration, ensure that the

You can change the username and password by providing a spring.security.user.name
and
spring.security.user.password
.
The basic features you get by default in a web application are:
UserDetailsService
(or ReactiveUserDetailsService
in case of a WebFlux application)
bean with in-memory store and a single user with a generated password (see
SecurityProperties.User
for the properties of the user).DefaultAuthenticationEventPublisher
for publishing authentication events.You can provide a different AuthenticationEventPublisher
by adding a bean for it.
The default security configuration is implemented in SecurityAutoConfiguration
and
UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration
. SecurityAutoConfiguration
imports
SpringBootWebSecurityConfiguration
for web security and
UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration
configures authentication, which is also
relevant in non-web applications. To switch off the default web application security
configuration completely, you can add a bean of type WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
(doing
so does not disable the UserDetailsService
configuration or Actuator’s security).
To also switch off the UserDetailsService
configuration, you can add a bean of type
UserDetailsService
, AuthenticationProvider
, or AuthenticationManager
.
There are several secure applications in the Spring
Boot samples to get you started with common use cases.
Access rules can be overridden by adding a custom WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
. Spring
Boot provides convenience methods that can be used to override access rules for actuator
endpoints and static resources. EndpointRequest
can be used to create a RequestMatcher
that is based on the management.endpoints.web.base-path
property.
PathRequest
can be used to create a RequestMatcher
for resources in
commonly used locations.
Similar to Spring MVC applications, you can secure your WebFlux applications by adding
the spring-boot-starter-security
dependency. The default security configuration is
implemented in ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration
and
UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration
. ReactiveSecurityAutoConfiguration
imports
WebFluxSecurityConfiguration
for web security and UserDetailsServiceAutoConfiguration
configures authentication, which is also relevant in non-web applications. To switch off the default web application security
configuration completely, you can add a bean of type WebFilterChainProxy
(doing so does
not disable the UserDetailsService
configuration or Actuator’s security).
To also switch off the UserDetailsService
configuration, you can add a bean of type
ReactiveUserDetailsService
or ReactiveAuthenticationManager
.
Access rules can be configured by adding a custom SecurityWebFilterChain
. Spring
Boot provides convenience methods that can be used to override access rules for actuator
endpoints and static resources. EndpointRequest
can be used to create a
ServerWebExchangeMatcher
that is based on the management.endpoints.web.base-path
property.
PathRequest
can be used to create a ServerWebExchangeMatcher
for resources in
commonly used locations.
For example, you can customize your security configuration by adding something like:
@Bean public SecurityWebFilterChain springSecurityFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http) { return http .authorizeExchange() .matchers(PathRequest.toStaticResources().atCommonLocations()).permitAll() .pathMatchers("/foo", "/bar") .authenticated().and() .formLogin().and() .build(); }
OAuth2 is a widely used authorization framework that is supported by Spring.
If you have spring-security-oauth2-client
on your classpath, you can take advantage of
some auto-configuration to make it easy to set up an OAuth2 Client. This configuration
makes use of the properties under OAuth2ClientProperties
.
You can register multiple OAuth2 clients and providers under the
spring.security.oauth2.client
prefix, as shown in the following example:
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-id=abcd spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-secret=password spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-name=Client for user scope spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.provider=my-oauth-provider spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.scope=user spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.redirect-uri-template=http://my-redirect-uri.com spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.client-authentication-method=basic spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-1.authorization-grant-type=authorization_code spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-id=abcd spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-secret=password spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-name=Client for email scope spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.provider=my-oauth-provider spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.scope=email spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.redirect-uri-template=http://my-redirect-uri.com spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.client-authentication-method=basic spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client-2.authorization-grant-type=authorization_code spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.authorization-uri=http://my-auth-server/oauth/authorize spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.token-uri=http://my-auth-server/oauth/token spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.user-info-uri=http://my-auth-server/userinfo spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.jwk-set-uri=http://my-auth-server/token_keys spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.my-oauth-provider.user-name-attribute=name
By default, Spring Security’s OAuth2LoginAuthenticationFilter
only processes URLs
matching /login/oauth2/code/*
. If you want to customize the redirect-uri-template
to
use a different pattern, you need to provide configuration to process that custom pattern.
For example, you can add your own WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
that resembles the
following:
public class OAuth2LoginSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http .authorizeRequests() .anyRequest().authenticated() .and() .oauth2Login() .redirectionEndpoint() .baseUri("/custom-callback"); } }
For common OAuth2 and OpenID providers, including Google, Github, Facebook, and Okta,
we provide a set of provider defaults (google
, github
, facebook
, and okta
,
respectively).
If you do not need to customize these providers, you can set the provider
attribute to
the one for which you need to infer defaults. Also, if the ID of your client matches the
default supported provider, Spring Boot infers that as well.
In other words, the two configurations in the following example use the Google provider:
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client.client-id=abcd spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client.client-secret=password spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.my-client.provider=google spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-id=abcd spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.google.client-secret=password
Currently, Spring Security does not provide support for implementing an OAuth 2.0
Authorization Server or Resource Server. However, this functionality is available from
the Spring Security OAuth project,
which will eventually be superseded by Spring Security completely. Until then, you can
use the spring-security-oauth2-autoconfigure
module to easily set up an OAuth 2.0 server;
see its documentation for instructions.
For security purposes, all actuators other than /health
and /info
are disabled by
default. The management.endpoints.web.exposure.include
property can be used to enable
the actuators.
If Spring Security is on the classpath and no other WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter is
present, the actuators are secured by Spring Boot auto-config. If you define a custom
WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
, Spring Boot auto-config will back off and you will be in
full control of actuator access rules.

Since Spring Boot relies on Spring Security’s defaults, CSRF protection is turned on by

The Spring Framework provides extensive support for working with SQL
databases, from direct JDBC access using JdbcTemplate
to complete “object relational
mapping” technologies such as Hibernate. Spring Data provides an
additional level of functionality: creating Repository
implementations directly from
interfaces and using conventions to generate queries from your method names.
Java’s javax.sql.DataSource
interface provides a standard method of working with

for more of the supported options. These are the standard options that work regardless of

settings by using their respective prefix (spring.datasource.hikari.*
,
spring.datasource.tomcat.*
, and spring.datasource.dbcp2.*
). Refer to the
documentation of the connection pool implementation you are using for more details.
For instance, if you use the Tomcat connection pool, you could customize many additional settings, as shown in the following example:
# Number of ms to wait before throwing an exception if no connection is available. spring.datasource.tomcat.max-wait=10000 # Maximum number of active connections that can be allocated from this pool at the same time. spring.datasource.tomcat.max-active=50 # Validate the connection before borrowing it from the pool. spring.datasource.tomcat.test-on-borrow=true
If you deploy your Spring Boot application to an Application Server, you might want to configure and manage your DataSource by using your Application Server’s built-in features and access it by using JNDI.
The spring.datasource.jndi-name
property can be used as an alternative to the
spring.datasource.url
, spring.datasource.username
, and spring.datasource.password
properties to access the DataSource
from a specific JNDI location. For example, the
following section in application.properties
shows how you can access a JBoss AS defined
DataSource
:
spring.datasource.jndi-name=java:jboss/datasources/customers
Spring’s JdbcTemplate

classes are auto-configured, and

We do not go into too many details of JPA or Spring Data here. You can follow the “Accessing Data with JPA” guide from spring.io and read the Spring Data JPA and Hibernate reference documentation. |
Traditionally, JPA “Entity” classes are specified in a persistence.xml
file. With
Spring Boot, this file is not necessary and “Entity Scanning” is used instead. By
default, all packages below your main configuration class (the one annotated with
@EnableAutoConfiguration
or @SpringBootApplication
) are searched.
Any classes annotated with @Entity
, @Embeddable
, or @MappedSuperclass
are
considered. A typical entity class resembles the following example:
package com.example.myapp.domain; import java.io.Serializable; import javax.persistence.*; @Entity public class City implements Serializable { @Id @GeneratedValue private Long id; @Column(nullable = false) private String name; @Column(nullable = false) private String state; // ... additional members, often include @OneToMany mappings protected City() { // no-args constructor required by JPA spec // this one is protected since it shouldn't be used directly } public City(String name, String state) { this.name = name; this.country = country; } public String getName() { return this.name; } public String getState() { return this.state; } // ... etc }

Spring Data JPA repositories are interfaces that you can define to
access data. JPA queries are created automatically from your method names. For example, a
CityRepository
interface might declare a findAllByState(String state)
method to find
all the cities in a given state.
For more complex queries, you can annotate your method with Spring Data’s
Query
annotation.
Spring Data repositories usually extend from the
Repository
or
CrudRepository
interfaces. If you use auto-configuration, repositories are searched from the package
containing your main configuration class (the one annotated with
@EnableAutoConfiguration
or @SpringBootApplication
) down.
The following example shows a typical Spring Data repository interface definition:
package com.example.myapp.domain; import org.springframework.data.domain.*; import org.springframework.data.repository.*; public interface CityRepository extends Repository<City, Long> { Page<City> findAll(Pageable pageable); City findByNameAndCountryAllIgnoringCase(String name, String country); }

We have barely scratched the surface of Spring Data JPA. For complete details, see the Spring Data JPA reference documentation. |
By default, JPA databases are automatically created only if you use an embedded
database (H2, HSQL, or Derby). You can explicitly configure JPA settings by using
spring.jpa.*
properties. For example, to create and drop tables you can add the
following line to your application.properties
:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
![]() | Note |

Hibernate’s own internal property name for this (if you happen to remember it
better) is |
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers=true
The line in the preceding example passes a value of true
for the
hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers
property to the Hibernate entity manager.
By default, the DDL execution (or validation) is deferred until the ApplicationContext
has started. There is also a spring.jpa.generate-ddl
flag, but it is not used if
Hibernate auto-configuration is active, because the ddl-auto
settings are more
fine-grained.
If you are running a web application, Spring Boot by default registers
OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor
to apply the “Open EntityManager in View” pattern, to allow for lazy loading in web
views. If you do not want this behavior, you should set spring.jpa.open-in-view
to
false
in your application.properties

Java Object Oriented Querying (jOOQ) is a popular product from Data Geekery which generates Java code from your database and lets you build type-safe SQL queries through its fluent API. Both the commercial and open source editions can be used with Spring Boot.
In order to use jOOQ type-safe queries, you need to generate Java classes from your
database schema. You can follow the instructions in the
jOOQ user manual.
If you use the jooq-codegen-maven
plugin and you also use the
spring-boot-starter-parent
“parent POM”, you can safely omit the plugin’s <version>
tag. You can also use Spring Boot-defined version variables (such as h2.version
) to
declare the plugin’s database dependency. The following listing shows an example:
<plugin> <groupId>org.jooq</groupId> <artifactId>jooq-codegen-maven</artifactId> <executions> ... </executions> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.h2database</groupId> <artifactId>h2</artifactId> <version>${h2.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <configuration> <jdbc> <driver>org.h2.Driver</driver> <url>jdbc:h2:~/yourdatabase</url> </jdbc> <generator> ... </generator> </configuration> </plugin>
The fluent API offered by jOOQ is initiated through the org.jooq.DSLContext
interface.
Spring Boot auto-configures a DSLContext
as a Spring Bean and connects it to your
application DataSource
. To use the DSLContext
, you can @Autowire
it, as shown in
the following example:
@Component public class JooqExample implements CommandLineRunner { private final DSLContext create; @Autowired public JooqExample(DSLContext dslContext) { this.create = dslContext; } }
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
The jOOQ manual tends to use a variable named |
You can then use the DSLContext
to construct your queries, as shown in the following
example:
public List<GregorianCalendar> authorsBornAfter1980() { return this.create.selectFrom(AUTHOR) .where(AUTHOR.DATE_OF_BIRTH.greaterThan(new GregorianCalendar(1980, 0, 1))) .fetch(AUTHOR.DATE_OF_BIRTH); }
Unless the spring.jooq.sql-dialect
property has been configured, Spring Boot determines
the SQL dialect to use for your datasource. If Spring Boot could not detect the dialect,
it uses DEFAULT
.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Spring Boot can only auto-configure dialects supported by the open source version of jOOQ. |
More advanced customizations can be achieved by defining your own @Bean
definitions,
which is used when the jOOQ Configuration
is created. You can define beans for the
following jOOQ Types:
ConnectionProvider
TransactionProvider
RecordMapperProvider
RecordUnmapperProvider
RecordListenerProvider
ExecuteListenerProvider
VisitListenerProvider
You can also create your own org.jooq.Configuration
@Bean
if you want to take
complete control of the jOOQ configuration.
Spring Data provides additional projects that help you access a variety of NoSQL technologies, including: MongoDB, Neo4J, Elasticsearch, Solr, Redis, Gemfire, Cassandra, Couchbase and LDAP. Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for Redis, MongoDB, Neo4j, Elasticsearch, Solr Cassandra, Couchbase, and LDAP. You can make use of the other projects, but you must configure them yourself. Refer to the appropriate reference documentation at projects.spring.io/spring-data.
Redis is a cache, message broker, and richly-featured key-value store. Spring Boot offers basic auto-configuration for the Lettuce and Jedis client libraries and the abstractions on top of them provided by Spring Data Redis.
There is a spring-boot-starter-data-redis
“Starter” for collecting the dependencies
in a convenient way. By default, it uses
Lettuce. That starter handles both
traditional and reactive applications.

is on the classpath, you
get a pooled connection factory.
MongoDB is an open-source NoSQL document database that uses a
JSON-like schema instead of traditional table-based relational data. Spring Boot offers
several conveniences for working with MongoDB, including the
spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb
and spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb-reactive
“Starters”.
To access Mongo databases, you can inject an auto-configured
org.springframework.data.mongodb.MongoDbFactory
. By default, the instance tries to
connect to a MongoDB server at mongodb://localhost/test
The following example shows how
to connect to a MongoDB database:
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.MongoDbFactory; import com.mongodb.DB; @Component public class MyBean { private final MongoDbFactory mongo; @Autowired public MyBean(MongoDbFactory mongo) { this.mongo = mongo; } // ... public void example() { DB db = mongo.getDb(); // ... } }
You can set the spring.data.mongodb.uri
property to change the URL and configure
additional settings such as the replica set, as shown in the following example:
spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://user:[email protected]:12345,mongo2.example.com:23456/test
Alternatively, as long as you use Mongo 2.x, you can specify a host
/port
. For
example, you might declare the following settings in your application.properties
:
spring.data.mongodb.host=mongoserver spring.data.mongodb.port=27017

Spring Data MongoDB provides a
MongoTemplate
class that is very
similar in its design to Spring’s JdbcTemplate
. As with JdbcTemplate
, Spring Boot
auto-configures a bean for you to inject the template, as follows:
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class MyBean { private final MongoTemplate mongoTemplate; @Autowired public MyBean(MongoTemplate mongoTemplate) { this.mongoTemplate = mongoTemplate; } // ... }
See the
MongoOperations
Javadoc for complete details.
Spring Data includes repository support for MongoDB. As with the JPA repositories discussed earlier, the basic principle is that queries are constructed automatically, based on method names.
In fact, both Spring Data JPA and Spring Data MongoDB share the same common
infrastructure. You could take the JPA example from earlier and, assuming that City
is
now a Mongo data class rather than a JPA @Entity
, it works in the same way, as shown
in the following example:

Spring Boot offers auto-configuration for
Embedded Mongo. To use it in
your Spring Boot application, add a dependency on
de.flapdoodle.embed:de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo
.
The port that Mongo listens on can be configured by setting the spring.data.mongodb.port
property. To use a randomly allocated free port, use a value of 0. The MongoClient
created by MongoAutoConfiguration
is automatically configured to use the randomly
allocated port.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If you do not configure a custom port, the embedded support uses a random port (rather than 27017) by default. |
If you have SLF4J on the classpath, the output produced by Mongo is automatically routed
to a logger named org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.mongo.embedded.EmbeddedMongo
.
You can declare your own IMongodConfig
and IRuntimeConfig
beans to take control of
the Mongo instance’s configuration and logging routing.
Neo4j is an open-source NoSQL graph database that uses a rich data
model of nodes related by first class relationships, which is better suited for connected
big data than traditional rdbms approaches. Spring Boot offers several conveniences for
working with Neo4j, including the spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j
“Starter”.
You can inject an auto-configured Neo4jSession
, Session
, or Neo4jOperations
instance as you would any other Spring Bean. By default, the instance tries to connect to
a Neo4j server at localhost:7474
. The following example shows how to inject a Neo4j
bean:
@Component public class MyBean { private final Neo4jTemplate neo4jTemplate; @Autowired public MyBean(Neo4jTemplate neo4jTemplate) { this.neo4jTemplate = neo4jTemplate; } // ... }
You can take full control of the configuration by adding a
org.neo4j.ogm.config.Configuration
@Bean
of your own. Also, adding a @Bean
of type
Neo4jOperations
disables the auto-configuration.
You can configure the user and credentials to use by setting the spring.data.neo4j.*
properties, as shown in the following example:
spring.data.neo4j.uri=http://my-server:7474 spring.data.neo4j.username=neo4j spring.data.neo4j.password=secret
If you add org.neo4j:neo4j-ogm-embedded-driver
to the dependencies of your application,
Spring Boot automatically configures an in-process embedded instance of Neo4j that does
not persist any data when your application shuts down. You can explicitly disable that
mode by setting spring.data.neo4j.embedded.enabled=false
. You can also enable
persistence for the embedded mode by providing a path to a database file, as shown in the
following example:
spring.data.neo4j.uri=file://var/tmp/graph.db

Spring Data Gemfire provides
convenient Spring-friendly tools for accessing the
Pivotal Gemfire data management
platform. There is a spring-boot-starter-data-gemfire
“Starter” for collecting the
dependencies in a convenient way. There is currently no auto-configuration support for
Gemfire, but you can enable Spring Data Repositories with a
single annotation: @EnableGemfireRepositories
.
Apache Solr is a search engine. Spring Boot offers basic
auto-configuration for the Solr 5 client library and the abstractions on top of it
provided by Spring Data Solr. There
is a spring-boot-starter-data-solr
“Starter” for collecting the dependencies in a
convenient way.
You can inject an auto-configured SolrClient
instance as you would any other Spring

localhost:8983/solr
. The following example shows how to inject a Solr bean:
@Component public class MyBean { private SolrClient solr; @Autowired public MyBean(SolrClient solr) { this.solr = solr; } // ... }

Elasticsearch is an open source, distributed, real-time
search and analytics engine. Spring Boot offers basic auto-configuration for
Elasticsearch and the abstractions on top of it provided by
Spring Data Elasticsearch.
There is a spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch
“Starter” for collecting the
dependencies in a convenient way. Spring Boot also supports
Jest.
If you have Jest
on the classpath, you can inject an auto-configured JestClient
that
by default targets localhost:9200
. You can further tune how the client is
configured, as shown in the following example:
spring.elasticsearch.jest.uris=http://search.example.com:9200 spring.elasticsearch.jest.read-timeout=10000 spring.elasticsearch.jest.username=user spring.elasticsearch.jest.password=secret
You can also register an arbitrary number of beans that implement
HttpClientConfigBuilderCustomizer
for more advanced customizations. The following
example tunes additional HTTP settings:
static class HttpSettingsCustomizer implements HttpClientConfigBuilderCustomizer { @Override public void customize(HttpClientConfig.Builder builder) { builder.maxTotalConnection(100).defaultMaxTotalConnectionPerRoute(5); } }
To take full control over the registration, define a JestClient
bean.
To connect to Elasticsearch, you must provide the address of one or more cluster nodes.
The address can be specified by setting the spring.data.elasticsearch.cluster-nodes
property to a comma-separated host:port
list. With this configuration in place, an
ElasticsearchTemplate
or TransportClient
can be injected like any other Spring bean,
as shown in the following example:
spring.data.elasticsearch.cluster-nodes=localhost:9300
@Component public class MyBean { private final ElasticsearchTemplate template; public MyBean(ElasticsearchTemplate template) { this.template = template; } // ... }

properties can be
used to customize the connection. Generally, you provide keyspace-name
and
contact-points
properties, as shown in the following example:
spring.data.cassandra.keyspace-name=mykeyspace spring.data.cassandra.contact-points=cassandrahost1,cassandrahost2
The following code listing shows how to inject a Cassandra bean:

Spring Data Couchbase. There are
spring-boot-starter-data-couchbase
and spring-boot-starter-data-couchbase-reactive
“Starters” for collecting the dependencies in a convenient way.
You can get a Bucket
and Cluster
by adding the Couchbase SDK and some configuration.
The spring.couchbase.*
properties can be used to customize the connection. Generally,
you provide the bootstrap hosts, bucket name, and password, as shown in the following
example:

Check the spring.couchbase.env.*
properties for more details.
Spring Data includes repository support for Couchbase. For complete details of Spring Data Couchbase, refer to the reference documentation.
You can inject an auto-configured CouchbaseTemplate
instance as you would with any
other Spring Bean, provided a default CouchbaseConfigurer
is available (which
happens when you enable Couchbase support, as explained earlier).
The following examples shows how to inject a Couchbase bean:
@Component public class MyBean { private final CouchbaseTemplate template; @Autowired public MyBean(CouchbaseTemplate template) { this.template = template; } // ... }
There are a few beans that you can define in your own configuration to override those provided by the auto-configuration:
CouchbaseTemplate
@Bean
with a name of couchbaseTemplate
.IndexManager
@Bean
with a name of couchbaseIndexManager
.CustomConversions
@Bean
with a name of couchbaseCustomConversions
.To avoid hard-coding those names in your own config, you can reuse BeanNames
provided
by Spring Data Couchbase. For instance, you can customize the converters to use, as

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. Spring Boot offers auto-configuration for any compliant LDAP server as well as support for the embedded in-memory LDAP server from UnboundID.
LDAP abstractions are provided by
Spring Data LDAP.
There is a spring-boot-starter-data-ldap
“Starter” for collecting the dependencies in
a convenient way.
To connect to an LDAP server, make sure you declare a dependency on the
spring-boot-starter-data-ldap
“Starter” or spring-ldap-core
and then declare the
URLs of your server in your application.properties, as shown in the following example:
spring.ldap.urls=ldap://myserver:1235 spring.ldap.username=admin spring.ldap.password=secret
If you need to customize connection settings, you can use the spring.ldap.base
and
spring.ldap.base-environment
properties.
Spring Data includes repository support for LDAP. For complete details of Spring Data LDAP, refer to the reference documentation.
You can also inject an auto-configured LdapTemplate
instance as you would with any
other Spring Bean, as shown in the following example:
@Component public class MyBean { private final LdapTemplate template; @Autowired public MyBean(LdapTemplate template) { this.template = template; } // ... }
For testing purposes, Spring Boot supports auto-configuration of an in-memory LDAP server
from UnboundID. To configure the server,
add a dependency to com.unboundid:unboundid-ldapsdk
and declare a base-dn
property, as
follows:
spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn=dc=spring,dc=io
![]() | Note |
---|---|
It is possible to define multiple base-dn values, however, since distinguished names usually contain commas, they must be defined using the correct notation. In yaml files, you can use the yaml list notation: spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn: - dc=spring,dc=io - dc=pivotal,dc=io In properties files, you must include the index as part of the property name: spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn[0]=dc=spring,dc=io spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn[1]=dc=pivotal,dc=io |
By default, the server starts on a random port and triggers the regular LDAP support.
There is no need to specify a spring.ldap.urls
property.
If there is a schema.ldif
file on your classpath, it is used to initialize the server.
If you want to load the initialization script from a different resource, you can also use
the spring.ldap.embedded.ldif
property.
By default, a standard schema is used to validate LDIF
files. You can turn off
validation altogether by setting the spring.ldap.embedded.validation.enabled
property.
If you have custom attributes, you can use spring.ldap.embedded.validation.schema
to
define your custom attribute types or object classes.
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database optimized for fast, high-availability storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, Internet-of-Things sensor data, and real-time analytics.
Spring Boot auto-configures an InfluxDB
instance, provided the influxdb-java
client
is on the classpath and the URL of the database is set, as shown in the following
example:
spring.influx.url=http://172.0.0.1:8086
If the connection to InfluxDB requires a user and password, you can set the
spring.influx.user
and spring.influx.password
properties accordingly.
InfluxDB relies on OkHttp. If you need to tune the http client InfluxDB
uses behind the
scenes, you can register an OkHttpClient.Builder
bean.
The Spring Framework provides support for transparently adding caching to an application.
At its core, the abstraction applies caching to methods, thus reducing the number of
executions based on the information available in the cache. The caching logic is applied
transparently, without any interference to the invoker. Spring Boot auto-configures the
cache infrastructure as long as caching support is enabled via the @EnableCaching
annotation.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Check the relevant section of the Spring Framework reference for more details. |
In a nutshell, adding caching to an operation of your service is as easy as adding the relevant annotation to its method, as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.cache.annotation.Cacheable; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class MathService { @Cacheable("piDecimals") public int computePiDecimal(int i) { // ... } }
This example demonstrates the use of caching on a potentially costly operation. Before
invoking computePiDecimal
, the abstraction looks for an entry in the piDecimals
cache
that matches the i
argument. If an entry is found, the content in the cache is
immediately returned to the caller, and the method is not invoked. Otherwise, the method
is invoked, and the cache is updated before returning the value.
![]() | Caution |
---|---|
You can also use the standard JSR-107 (JCache) annotations (such as

If you do not add any specific cache library, Spring Boot auto-configures a
simple provider that uses concurrent maps in
memory. When a cache is required (such as piDecimals
in the preceding example), this
provider creates it for you. The simple provider is not really recommended for
production usage, but it is great for getting started and making sure that you understand
the features. When you have made up your mind about the cache provider to use, please
make sure to read its documentation to figure out how to configure the caches that your
application uses. Nearly all providers require you to explicitly configure every cache
that you use in the application. Some offer a way to customize the default caches defined
by the spring.cache.cache-names
property.
The cache abstraction does not provide an actual store and relies on abstraction
materialized by the org.springframework.cache.Cache
and
org.springframework.cache.CacheManager
interfaces.

Generic caching is used if the context defines at least one
org.springframework.cache.Cache
bean. A CacheManager
wrapping all beans of that type
is created.
JCache is bootstrapped through the presence of a
javax.cache.spi.CachingProvider
on the classpath (that is, a JSR-107 compliant caching
library exists on the classpath), and the JCacheCacheManager
is provided by the
spring-boot-starter-cache
“Starter”. Various compliant libraries are available, and
Spring Boot provides dependency management for Ehcache 3, Hazelcast, and Infinispan. Any
other compliant library can be added as well.
It might happen that more than one provider is present, in which case the provider must be explicitly specified. Even if the JSR-107 standard does not enforce a standardized way to define the location of the configuration file, Spring Boot does its best to accommodate setting a cache with implementation details, as shown in the following example:
# Only necessary if more than one provider is present spring.cache.jcache.provider=com.acme.MyCachingProvider spring.cache.jcache.config=classpath:acme.xml

by using the customizer. Assume you need two caches (cache1
and
cache2
) on the "main" Bucket
and one (cache3
) cache with a custom time to live of 2
seconds on the “another” Bucket
. You can create the first two caches through
configuration, as follows:
spring.cache.cache-names=cache1,cache2
Then you can define a @Configuration
class to configure the extra Bucket
and the
cache3
cache, as follows:
@Configuration public class CouchbaseCacheConfiguration { private final Cluster cluster; public CouchbaseCacheConfiguration(Cluster cluster) { this.cluster = cluster; } @Bean public Bucket anotherBucket() { return this.cluster.openBucket("another", "secret"); } @Bean public CacheManagerCustomizer<CouchbaseCacheManager> cacheManagerCustomizer() { return c -> { c.prepareCache("cache3", CacheBuilder.newInstance(anotherBucket()) .withExpiration(2)); }; } }
This sample configuration reuses the Cluster
that was created through
auto-configuration.
If Redis is available and configured, a RedisCacheManager
is
auto-configured. It is possible to create additional caches on startup by setting the
spring.cache.cache-names
property and cache defaults can be configured by using
spring.cache.redis.*
properties. For instance, the following configuration creates
cache1
and cache2
caches with a time to live of 10 minutes:
spring.cache.cache-names=cache1,cache2 spring.cache.redis.time-to-live=600000

Caffeine is a Java 8 rewrite of Guava’s cache that
supersedes support for Guava. If Caffeine is present, a CaffeineCacheManager
(provided
by the spring-boot-starter-cache
“Starter”) is auto-configured. Caches can be created
on startup by setting the spring.cache.cache-names
property and can be customized by one
of the following (in the indicated order):
spring.cache.caffeine.spec
com.github.benmanes.caffeine.cache.CaffeineSpec
bean is definedcom.github.benmanes.caffeine.cache.Caffeine
bean is definedFor instance, the following configuration creates cache1
and cache2
caches with a
maximum size of 500 and a time to live of 10 minutes
spring.cache.cache-names=cache1,cache2 spring.cache.caffeine.spec=maximumSize=500,expireAfterAccess=600s
If a com.github.benmanes.caffeine.cache.CacheLoader
bean is defined, it is
automatically associated to the CaffeineCacheManager
. Since the CacheLoader
is going
to be associated with all caches managed by the cache manager, it must be defined as
CacheLoader<Object, Object>
. The auto-configuration ignores any other generic type.
If none of the other providers can be found, a simple implementation using a
ConcurrentHashMap
as the cache store is configured. This is the default if no caching
library is present in your application. By default, caches are created as needed, but you
can restrict the list of available caches by setting the cache-names
property. For
instance, if you want only cache1
and cache2
caches, set the cache-names
property
as follows:
spring.cache.cache-names=cache1,cache2
If you do so and your application uses a cache not listed, then it fails at runtime when the cache is needed, but not on startup. This is similar to the way the "real" cache providers behave if you use an undeclared cache.
When @EnableCaching
is present in your configuration, a suitable cache configuration is
expected as well. If you need to disable caching altogether in certain environments,
force the cache type to none
to use a no-op implementation, as shown in the following
example:
spring.cache.type=none
The Spring Framework provides extensive support for integrating with messaging systems,
from simplified use of the JMS API using JmsTemplate
to a complete infrastructure to
receive messages asynchronously. Spring AMQP provides a similar feature set for the
Advanced Message Queuing Protocol. Spring Boot also provides auto-configuration
options for RabbitTemplate
and RabbitMQ. Spring WebSocket natively includes support for
STOMP messaging, and Spring Boot has support for that through starters and a small amount
of auto-configuration. Spring Boot also has support for Apache Kafka.
The javax.jms.ConnectionFactory
interface provides a standard method of creating a
javax.jms.Connection
for interacting with a JMS broker. Although Spring needs a
ConnectionFactory
to work with JMS, you generally need not use it directly yourself and
can instead rely on higher level messaging abstractions. (See the
relevant section of the Spring Framework
reference documentation for details.) Spring Boot also auto-configures the necessary
infrastructure to send and receive messages.
When ActiveMQ is available on the classpath, Spring Boot can
also configure a ConnectionFactory
. If the broker is present, an embedded broker is
automatically started and configured (provided no broker URL is specified through
configuration).

ActiveMQ configuration is controlled by external configuration properties in
spring.activemq.*

application.properties
:
spring.activemq.broker-url=tcp://192.168.1.210:9876 spring.activemq.user=admin spring.activemq.password=secret
You can also pool JMS resources by adding a dependency to
org.apache.activemq:activemq-pool
and configuring the PooledConnectionFactory
accordingly, as shown in the following example:
spring.activemq.pool.enabled=true spring.activemq.pool.max-connections=50

By default, ActiveMQ creates a destination if it does not yet exist so that destinations are resolved against their provided names.
Spring Boot can auto-configure a ConnectionFactory
when it detects that
Artemis is available on the classpath. If the broker
is present, an embedded broker is automatically started and configured (unless the mode
property has been explicitly set). The supported modes are embedded
(to make explicit
that an embedded broker is required and that an error should occur if the broker is not
available on the classpath) and native
(to connect to a broker using the netty
transport protocol). When the latter is configured, Spring Boot configures a
ConnectionFactory
that connects to a broker running on the local machine with the
default settings.

Artemis configuration is controlled by external configuration properties in
spring.artemis.*

application.properties
:
spring.artemis.mode=native spring.artemis.host=192.168.1.210 spring.artemis.port=9876 spring.artemis.user=admin spring.artemis.password=secret
When embedding the broker, you can choose if you want to enable persistence and list the
destinations that should be made available. These can be specified as a comma-separated
list to create them with the default options, or you can define bean(s) of type
org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.server.config.JMSQueueConfiguration
or
org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.server.config.TopicConfiguration
, for advanced queue
and topic configurations, respectively.
See
ArtemisProperties
for more supported options.
No JNDI lookup is involved, and destinations are resolved against their names, using
either the name
attribute in the Artemis configuration or the names provided through
configuration.
If you are running your application in an application server, Spring Boot tries to
locate a JMS ConnectionFactory
by using JNDI. By default, the java:/JmsXA
and
java:/XAConnectionFactory
location are checked. You can use the spring.jms.jndi-name
property if you need to specify an alternative location, as shown in the following
example:
spring.jms.jndi-name=java:/MyConnectionFactory
Spring’s JmsTemplate
is auto-configured, and you can autowire it directly into your own
beans, as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class MyBean { private final JmsTemplate jmsTemplate; @Autowired public MyBean(JmsTemplate jmsTemplate) { this.jmsTemplate = jmsTemplate; } // ... }

When the JMS infrastructure is present, any bean can be annotated with @JmsListener
to
create a listener endpoint. If no JmsListenerContainerFactory
has been defined, a
default one is configured automatically. If a DestinationResolver
or a
MessageConverter
beans is defined, it is associated automatically to the default
factory.
By default, the default factory is transactional. If you run in an infrastructure where a
JtaTransactionManager
is present, it is associated to the listener container by default.
If not, the sessionTransacted
flag is enabled. In that latter scenario, you can
associate your local data store transaction to the processing of an incoming message by
adding @Transactional
on your listener method (or a delegate thereof). This ensures that
the incoming message is acknowledged, once the local transaction has completed. This also
includes sending response messages that have been performed on the same JMS session.
The following component creates a listener endpoint on the someQueue
destination:
@Component public class MyBean { @JmsListener(destination = "someQueue") public void processMessage(String content) { // ... } }

If you need to create more JmsListenerContainerFactory
instances or if you want to
override the default, Spring Boot provides a
DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer
that you can use to initialize a
DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory
with the same settings as the one that is
auto-configured.
For instance, the following example exposes another factory that uses a specific
MessageConverter
:
@Configuration static class JmsConfiguration { @Bean public DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory myFactory( DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer) { DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory factory = new DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory(); configurer.configure(factory, connectionFactory()); factory.setMessageConverter(myMessageConverter()); return factory; } }
Then you can use the factory in any @JmsListener
-annotated method as follows:
@Component public class MyBean { @JmsListener(destination = "someQueue", containerFactory="myFactory") public void processMessage(String content) { // ... } }
The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is a platform-neutral, wire-level protocol
for message-oriented middleware. The Spring AMQP project applies core Spring concepts to
the development of AMQP-based messaging solutions. Spring Boot offers several conveniences
for working with AMQP through RabbitMQ, including the spring-boot-starter-amqp
“Starter”.
RabbitMQ is a lightweight, reliable, scalable, and portable
message broker based on the AMQP protocol. Spring uses RabbitMQ
to communicate through
the AMQP protocol.
RabbitMQ configuration is controlled by external configuration properties in
spring.rabbitmq.*
. For example, you might declare the following section in
application.properties
:
spring.rabbitmq.host=localhost spring.rabbitmq.port=5672 spring.rabbitmq.username=admin spring.rabbitmq.password=secret
If a ConnectionNameStrategy
bean exists in the context, it will be automatically used to
name connections created by the auto-configured ConnectionFactory
. See
RabbitProperties

Spring’s AmqpTemplate
and AmqpAdmin
are auto-configured, and you can autowire them
directly into your own beans, as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.amqp.core.AmqpAdmin; import org.springframework.amqp.core.AmqpTemplate; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class MyBean { private final AmqpAdmin amqpAdmin; private final AmqpTemplate amqpTemplate; @Autowired public MyBean(AmqpAdmin amqpAdmin, AmqpTemplate amqpTemplate) { this.amqpAdmin = amqpAdmin; this.amqpTemplate = amqpTemplate; } // ... }
![]() | Note |

If necessary, any org.springframework.amqp.core.Queue
that is defined as a bean is
automatically used to declare a corresponding queue on the RabbitMQ instance.
To retry operations, you can enable retries on the AmqpTemplate
(for example, in the
event that the broker connection is lost). Retries are disabled by default.
When the Rabbit infrastructure is present, any bean can be annotated with
@RabbitListener
to create a listener endpoint. If no RabbitListenerContainerFactory
has been defined, a default SimpleRabbitListenerContainerFactory
is automatically
configured and you can switch to a direct container using the
spring.rabbitmq.listener.type
property. If a MessageConverter
or a MessageRecoverer
bean is defined, it is automatically associated with the default factory.
The following sample component creates a listener endpoint on the someQueue
queue:
@Component public class MyBean { @RabbitListener(queues = "someQueue") public void processMessage(String content) { // ... } }

and a DirectRabbitListenerContainerFactory
with
the same settings as the factories used by the auto-configuration.

It does not matter which container type you chose. Those two beans are exposed by the auto-configuration. |

Then you can use the factory in any @RabbitListener
-annotated method, as follows:
@Component public class MyBean { @RabbitListener(queues = "someQueue", containerFactory="myFactory") public void processMessage(String content) { // ... } }
You can enable retries to handle situations where your listener throws an exception. By
default, RejectAndDontRequeueRecoverer
is used, but you can define a MessageRecoverer
of your own. When retries are exhausted, the message is rejected and either dropped or
routed to a dead-letter exchange if the broker is configured to do so. By default,
retries are disabled.

When the Apache Kafka infrastructure is present, any bean can be annotated with
@KafkaListener
to create a listener endpoint. If no KafkaListenerContainerFactory
has
been defined, a default one is automatically configured with keys defined in
spring.kafka.listener.*
. Also, if a RecordMessageConverter
bean is defined, it is
automatically associated to the default factory.
The following component creates a listener endpoint on the someTopic
topic:
@Component public class MyBean { @KafkaListener(topics = "someTopic") public void processMessage(String content) { // ... } }
The properties supported by auto configuration are shown in Appendix A, Common application properties. Note that, for the most part, these properties (hyphenated or camelCase) map directly to the Apache Kafka dotted properties. Refer to the Apache Kafka documentation for details.
The first few of these properties apply to both producers and consumers but can be specified at the producer or consumer level if you wish to use different values for each. Apache Kafka designates properties with an importance of HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. Spring Boot auto-configuration supports all HIGH importance properties, some selected MEDIUM and LOW properties, and any properties that do not have a default value.
Only a subset of the properties supported by Kafka are available through the
KafkaProperties
class. If you wish to configure the producer or consumer with additional
properties that are not directly supported, use the following properties:
spring.kafka.properties.prop.one=first spring.kafka.admin.properties.prop.two=second spring.kafka.consumer.properties.prop.three=third spring.kafka.producer.properties.prop.four=fourth
This sets the common prop.one
Kafka property to first
(applies to producers,
consumers and admins), the prop.two
admin property to second
, the prop.three
consumer property to third
and the prop.four
producer property to fourth
.
You can also configure the Spring Kafka JsonDeserializer
as follows:

If you need to call remote REST services from your application, you can use the Spring
Framework’s RestTemplate
class. Since
RestTemplate
instances often need to be customized before being used, Spring Boot does
not provide any single auto-configured RestTemplate
bean. It does, however,
auto-configure a RestTemplateBuilder
, which can be used to create RestTemplate
instances when needed. The auto-configured RestTemplateBuilder
ensures that sensible
HttpMessageConverters
are applied to RestTemplate
instances.
The following code shows a typical example:
@Service public class MyService { private final RestTemplate restTemplate; public MyService(RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder) { this.restTemplate = restTemplateBuilder.build(); } public Details someRestCall(String name) { return this.restTemplate.getForObject("/{name}/details", Details.class, name); } }
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
|
There are three main approaches to RestTemplate
customization, depending on how broadly
you want the customizations to apply.
To make the scope of any customizations as narrow as possible, inject the auto-configured
RestTemplateBuilder
and then call its methods as required. Each method call returns a
new RestTemplateBuilder
instance, so the customizations only affect this use of the
builder.
To make an application-wide, additive customization, use a RestTemplateCustomizer
bean.
All such beans are automatically registered with the auto-configured RestTemplateBuilder
and are applied to any templates that are built with it.
The following example shows a customizer that configures the use of a proxy for all hosts
except 192.168.0.5
:
static class ProxyCustomizer implements RestTemplateCustomizer { @Override public void customize(RestTemplate restTemplate) { HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("proxy.example.com"); HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create() .setRoutePlanner(new DefaultProxyRoutePlanner(proxy) { @Override public HttpHost determineProxy(HttpHost target, HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) throws HttpException { if (target.getHostName().equals("192.168.0.5")) { return null; } return super.determineProxy(target, request, context); } }).build(); restTemplate.setRequestFactory( new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient)); } }
Finally, the most extreme (and rarely used) option is to create your own
RestTemplateBuilder
bean. Doing so switches off the auto-configuration of a
RestTemplateBuilder
and prevents any RestTemplateCustomizer
beans from being used.
If you have Spring WebFlux on your classpath, you can also choose to use WebClient
to
call remote REST services. Compared to RestTemplate
, this client has a more functional
feel and is fully reactive. You can create your own client instance with the builder,
WebClient.create()
. See the relevant
section on WebClient.
Spring Boot creates and pre-configures such a builder for you. For example, client HTTP codecs are configured in the same fashion as the server ones (see WebFlux HTTP codecs auto-configuration).
The following code shows a typical example:
@Service public class MyService { private final WebClient webClient; public MyService(WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder) { this.webClient = webClientBuilder.baseUrl("http://example.org").build(); } public Mono<Details> someRestCall(String name) { return this.webClient.get().url("/{name}/details", name) .retrieve().bodyToMono(Details.class); } }
There are three main approaches to WebClient
customization, depending on how broadly you
want the customizations to apply.
To make the scope of any customizations as narrow as possible, inject the auto-configured
WebClient.Builder
and then call its methods as required. WebClient.Builder
instances
are stateful: Any change on the builder is reflected in all clients subsequently created
with it. If you want to create several clients with the same builder, you can also
consider cloning the builder with WebClient.Builder other = builder.clone();
.
To make an application-wide, additive customization to all WebClient.Builder
instances,
you can declare WebClientCustomizer
beans and change the WebClient.Builder
locally at
the point of injection.
Finally, you can fall back to the original API and use WebClient.create()
. In that case,
no auto-configuration or WebClientCustomizer
is applied.
The method validation feature supported by Bean Validation 1.1 is automatically enabled
as long as a JSR-303 implementation (such as Hibernate validator) is on the classpath.
This lets bean methods be annotated with javax.validation
constraints on their
parameters and/or on their return value. Target classes with such annotated methods need
to be annotated with the @Validated
annotation at the type level for their methods to
be searched for inline constraint annotations.
For instance, the following service triggers the validation of the first argument, making sure its size is between 8 and 10:
@Service @Validated public class MyBean { public Archive findByCodeAndAuthor(@Size(min = 8, max = 10) String code, Author author) { ... } }

Spring Boot supports distributed JTA transactions across multiple XA resources by using either an Atomikos or Bitronix embedded transaction manager. JTA transactions are also supported when deploying to a suitable Java EE Application Server.
When a JTA environment is detected, Spring’s JtaTransactionManager
is used to manage
transactions. Auto-configured JMS, DataSource, and JPA beans are upgraded to support XA
transactions. You can use standard Spring idioms, such as @Transactional
, to participate
in a distributed transaction. If you are within a JTA environment and still want to use
local transactions, you can set the spring.jta.enabled
property to false
to disable
the JTA auto-configuration.
Atomikos is a popular open source transaction manager which can
be embedded into your Spring Boot application. You can use the
spring-boot-starter-jta-atomikos
Starter to pull in the appropriate Atomikos libraries.
Spring Boot auto-configures Atomikos and ensures that appropriate depends-on
settings
are applied to your Spring beans for correct startup and shutdown ordering.
By default, Atomikos transaction logs are written to a transaction-logs
directory in
your application’s home directory (the directory in which your application jar file
resides). You can customize the location of this directory by setting a
spring.jta.log-dir
property in your application.properties
file. Properties starting
with spring.jta.atomikos.properties
can also be used to customize the Atomikos
UserTransactionServiceImp
. See the

By default, Bitronix transaction log files (part1.btm
and part2.btm
) are written to
a transaction-logs

If you package your Spring Boot application as a war
or ear
file and deploy it to a
Java EE application server, you can use your application server’s built-in transaction
manager. Spring Boot tries to auto-configure a transaction manager by looking at common
JNDI locations (java:comp/UserTransaction
, java:comp/TransactionManager
, and so on).
If you use a transaction service provided by your application server, you generally also
want to ensure that all resources are managed by the server and exposed over JNDI. Spring
Boot tries to auto-configure JMS by looking for a ConnectionFactory
at the JNDI path
(java:/JmsXA
or java:/XAConnectionFactory
), and you can use the
spring.datasource.jndi-name
property
to configure your DataSource
.
When using JTA, the primary JMS ConnectionFactory
bean is XA-aware and participates
in distributed transactions. In some situations, you might want to process certain JMS
messages by using a non-XA ConnectionFactory
. For example, your JMS processing logic
might take longer than the XA timeout.
If you want to use a non-XA ConnectionFactory
, you can inject the
nonXaJmsConnectionFactory
bean rather than the @Primary
jmsConnectionFactory
bean.
For consistency, the jmsConnectionFactory
bean is also provided by using the bean alias
xaJmsConnectionFactory
.
The following example shows how to inject ConnectionFactory
instances:
// Inject the primary (XA aware) ConnectionFactory @Autowired private ConnectionFactory defaultConnectionFactory; // Inject the XA aware ConnectionFactory (uses the alias and injects the same as above) @Autowired @Qualifier("xaJmsConnectionFactory") private ConnectionFactory xaConnectionFactory; // Inject the non-XA aware ConnectionFactory @Autowired @Qualifier("nonXaJmsConnectionFactory") private ConnectionFactory nonXaConnectionFactory;
The XAConnectionFactoryWrapper
and XADataSourceWrapper
interfaces
can be used to support alternative embedded transaction managers. The interfaces are
responsible for wrapping XAConnectionFactory
and XADataSource
beans and exposing them
as regular ConnectionFactory
and DataSource
beans, which transparently enroll in the
distributed transaction. DataSource and JMS auto-configuration use JTA variants, provided
you have a JtaTransactionManager
bean and appropriate XA wrapper beans registered
within your ApplicationContext
.
The BitronixXAConnectionFactoryWrapper and BitronixXADataSourceWrapper provide good examples of how to write XA wrappers.
If Hazelcast is on the classpath and a suitable configuration is
found, Spring Boot auto-configures a HazelcastInstance
that you can inject in your
application.
If you define a com.hazelcast.config.Config
bean, Spring Boot uses that. If your
configuration defines an instance name, Spring Boot tries to locate an existing instance
rather than creating a new one.
You could also specify the hazelcast.xml
configuration file to use through
configuration, as shown in the following example:
spring.hazelcast.config=classpath:config/my-hazelcast.xml
Otherwise, Spring Boot tries to find the Hazelcast configuration from the default
locations: hazelcast.xml
in the working directory or at the root of the classpath. We
also check if the hazelcast.config
system property is set. See the
Hazelcast documentation for

Jobs can define setters to inject data map properties. Regular beans can also be injected in a similar manner, as shown in the following example:
public class SampleJob extends QuartzJobBean { private MyService myService; private String name; // Inject "MyService" bean public void setMyService(MyService myService) { ... } // Inject the "name" job data property public void setName(String name) { ... } @Override protected void executeInternal(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException { ... } }
Spring Boot offers several conveniences for working with Spring
Integration, including the spring-boot-starter-integration
“Starter”. Spring
Integration provides abstractions over messaging and also other transports such as HTTP,
TCP, and others. If Spring Integration is available on your classpath, it is initialized
through the @EnableIntegration
annotation.
Spring Boot also configures some features that are triggered by the presence of additional
Spring Integration modules. If spring-integration-jmx
is also on the classpath,
message processing statistics are published over JMX . If spring-integration-jdbc
is
available, the default database schema can be created on startup, as shown in the
following line:
spring.integration.jdbc.initialize-schema=always
See the
IntegrationAutoConfiguration
and IntegrationProperties
classes for more details.
By default, if a Micrometer meterRegistry
bean is present, Spring Integration metrics
will be managed by Micrometer. If you wish to use legacy Spring Integration metrics, add
a DefaultMetricsFactory
bean to the application context.
Spring Boot provides Spring Session auto-configuration for a wide range of data stores. When building a Servlet web application, the following stores can be auto-configured:
When building a reactive web application, the following stores can be auto-configured:
If a single Spring Session module is present on the classpath, Spring Boot uses that store
implementation automatically. If you have more than one implementation, you must choose
the StoreType
that you wish
to use to store the sessions. For instance, to use JDBC as the back-end store, you can
configure your application as follows:
spring.session.store-type=jdbc

You can disable Spring Session by setting the |
Each store has specific additional settings. For instance, it is possible to customize the name of the table for the JDBC store, as shown in the following example:
spring.session.jdbc.table-name=SESSIONS
For setting the timeout of the session you can use the spring.session.timeout
property.
If that property is not set, the auto-configuration falls back to the value of
server.servlet.session.timeout
.
Java Management Extensions (JMX) provide a standard mechanism to monitor and manage
applications. By default, Spring Boot creates an MBeanServer
bean with an ID of
mbeanServer
and exposes any of your beans that are annotated with Spring JMX
annotations (@ManagedResource
, @ManagedAttribute
, or @ManagedOperation
).
See the
JmxAutoConfiguration
class for more details.
Spring Boot provides a number of utilities and annotations to help when testing your
application. Test support is provided by two modules: spring-boot-test
contains core
items, and spring-boot-test-autoconfigure
supports auto-configuration for tests.
Most developers use the spring-boot-starter-test
“Starter”, which imports both Spring
Boot test modules as well as JUnit, AssertJ, Hamcrest, and a number of other useful
libraries.
The spring-boot-starter-test
“Starter” (in the test
scope
) contains
the following provided libraries:
We generally find these common libraries to be useful when writing tests. If these libraries do not suit your needs, you can add additional test dependencies of your own.
One of the major advantages of dependency injection is that it should make your code
easier to unit test. You can instantiate objects by using the new
operator without
even involving Spring. You can also use mock objects instead of real dependencies.
Often, you need to move beyond unit testing and start integration testing (with
a Spring ApplicationContext
). It is useful to be able to perform integration testing
without requiring deployment of your application or needing to connect to other
infrastructure.
The Spring Framework includes a dedicated test module for such integration testing. You
can declare a dependency directly to org.springframework:spring-test
or use the
spring-boot-starter-test
“Starter” to pull it in transitively.
If you have not used the spring-test
module before, you should start by reading the
relevant section of the Spring Framework
reference documentation.
A Spring Boot application is a Spring ApplicationContext
, so nothing very special has
to be done to test it beyond what you would normally do with a vanilla Spring context.

Spring Boot provides a @SpringBootTest
annotation, which can be used as an alternative
to the standard spring-test
@ContextConfiguration
annotation when you need Spring
Boot features. The annotation works by creating the ApplicationContext
used in your
tests through SpringApplication
. In addition to @SpringBootTest
a number of other
annotations are also provided for
testing more
specific slices of an application.

You can use the webEnvironment
attribute of @SpringBootTest
to further refine how
your tests run:
MOCK
: Loads a WebApplicationContext
and provides a mock servlet environment.
Embedded servlet containers are not started when using this annotation. If servlet APIs
are not on your classpath, this mode transparently falls back to creating a regular
non-web ApplicationContext
. It can be used in conjunction with
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
for MockMvc
-based testing of your application.RANDOM_PORT
: Loads an ServletWebServerApplicationContext
and provides a real
servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are started and listen on a random
port.DEFINED_PORT
: Loads a ServletWebServerApplicationContext
and provides a real
servlet environment. Embedded servlet containers are started and listen on a defined port
(from your application.properties
or on the default port of 8080
).NONE

If Spring MVC is available, a regular MVC-based application context is configured. If you have only Spring WebFlux, we’ll detect that and configure a WebFlux-based application context instead.
If both are present, Spring MVC takes precedence. If you want to test a reactive web
application in this scenario, you must set the spring.main.web-application-type
property:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest(properties = "spring.main.web-application-type=reactive") public class MyWebFluxTests { ... }
If you are familiar with the Spring Test Framework, you may be used to using
@ContextConfiguration(classes=…)
in order to specify which Spring @Configuration
to
load. Alternatively, you might have often used nested @Configuration
classes within
your test.
When testing Spring Boot applications, this is often not required. Spring Boot’s @*Test
annotations search for your primary configuration automatically whenever you do not
explicitly define one.
The search algorithm works up from the package that contains the test until it finds a
class annotated with @SpringBootApplication
or @SpringBootConfiguration
. As long as
you structured your code in a sensible way, your
main configuration is usually found.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If you use a test annotation to test a more specific slice of your application, you should avoid adding configuration settings that are specific to a particular area on the main method’s application class. |
If you want to customize the primary configuration, you can use a nested
@TestConfiguration
class. Unlike a nested @Configuration
class, which would be used
instead of your application’s primary configuration, a nested @TestConfiguration
class
is used in addition to your application’s primary configuration.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Spring’s test framework caches application contexts between tests. Therefore, as long as your tests share the same configuration (no matter how it is discovered), the potentially time-consuming process of loading the context happens only once. |
If your application uses component scanning (for example, if you use
@SpringBootApplication
or @ComponentScan
), you may find top-level configuration
classes that you created only for specific tests accidentally get picked up everywhere.
As we have seen
earlier, @TestConfiguration
can be used on an inner class of a test to customize the
primary configuration. When placed on a top-level class, @TestConfiguration
indicates
that classes in src/test/java
should not be picked up by scanning. You can then import
that class explicitly where it is required, as shown in the following example:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest @Import(MyTestsConfiguration.class) public class MyTests { @Test public void exampleTest() { ... } }

If you need to start a full running server, we recommend that you use random ports.
If you use @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
, an
available port is picked at random each time your test runs.
The @LocalServerPort
annotation can be used to
inject the actual port used into your test.
For convenience, tests that need to make REST calls to the started server can
additionally @Autowire
a
WebTestClient
, which resolves
relative links to the running server and comes with a dedicated API for verifying
responses, as shown in the following example:
import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; import org.springframework.test.web.reactive.server.WebTestClient; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) public class RandomPortWebTestClientExampleTests { @Autowired private WebTestClient webClient; @Test public void exampleTest() { this.webClient.get().uri("/").exchange().expectStatus().isOk() .expectBody(String.class).isEqualTo("Hello World"); } }
Spring Boot also provides a TestRestTemplate
facility:
import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment; import org.springframework.boot.test.web.client.TestRestTemplate; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) public class RandomPortTestRestTemplateExampleTests { @Autowired private TestRestTemplate restTemplate; @Test public void exampleTest() { String body = this.restTemplate.getForObject("/", String.class); assertThat(body).isEqualTo("Hello World"); } }
As the test context framework caches context, JMX is disabled by default to prevent
identical components to register on the same domain. If such test needs access to an
MBeanServer
, consider marking it dirty as well:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest(properties = "spring.jmx.enabled=true") @DirtiesContext public class SampleJmxTests { @Autowired private MBeanServer mBeanServer; @Test public void exampleTest() { // ... } }
When running tests, it is sometimes necessary to mock certain components within your application context. For example, you may have a facade over some remote service that is unavailable during development. Mocking can also be useful when you want to simulate failures that might be hard to trigger in a real environment.
Spring Boot includes a @MockBean
annotation that can be used to define a Mockito mock
for a bean inside your ApplicationContext
. You can use the annotation to add new beans
or replace a single existing bean definition. The annotation can be used directly on test
classes, on fields within your test, or on @Configuration
classes and fields. When used
on a field, the instance of the created mock is also injected. Mock beans are
automatically reset after each test method.
![]() | Note |

If your test uses one of Spring Boot’s test annotations (such as @TestExecutionListeners(MockitoTestExecutionListener.class) |
The following example replaces an existing RemoteService
bean with a mock

Additionally, you can use @SpyBean
to wrap any existing bean with a Mockito spy
. See
the Javadoc for full details.

While Spring’s test framework caches application contexts between tests and reuses
a context for tests sharing the same configuration, the use of |
Spring Boot’s auto-configuration system works well for applications but can sometimes be a little too much for tests. It often helps to load only the parts of the configuration that are required to test a “slice” of your application. For example, you might want to test that Spring MVC controllers are mapping URLs correctly, and you do not want to involve database calls in those tests, or you might want to test JPA entities, and you are not interested in the web layer when those tests run.
The spring-boot-test-autoconfigure
module includes a number of annotations that can be
used to automatically configure such “slices”. Each of them works in a similar way,
providing a @…Test
annotation that loads the ApplicationContext
and one or
more @AutoConfigure…
annotations that can be used to customize auto-configuration
settings.

To test that object JSON serialization and deserialization is working as expected, you can
use the @JsonTest
annotation. @JsonTest
auto-configures the available supported JSON
mapper, which can be one of the following libraries:
ObjectMapper
, any @JsonComponent
beans and any Jackson Module
sGson
Jsonb
If you need to configure elements of the auto-configuration, you can use the
@AutoConfigureJsonTesters
annotation.
Spring Boot includes AssertJ-based helpers that work with the JSONassert and JsonPath
libraries to check that JSON appears as expected. The JacksonTester

JsonbTester
, and BasicJsonTester
classes can be used for Jackson, Gson, Jsonb, and
Strings respectively. Any helper fields on the test class can be @Autowired
when using

You can use the @DataJpaTest
annotation to test JPA applications. By default, it
configures an in-memory embedded database, scans for @Entity
classes, and configures
Spring Data JPA repositories. Regular @Component
beans are not loaded into the
ApplicationContext
.
By default, data JPA tests are transactional and roll back at the end of each test. See the relevant section in the Spring Framework Reference Documentation for more details. If that is not what you want, you can disable transaction management for a test or for the whole class as follows:
import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.DataJpaTest; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Propagation; import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @DataJpaTest @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.NOT_SUPPORTED) public class ExampleNonTransactionalTests { }
Data JPA tests may also inject a
TestEntityManager
bean, which provides an alternative to the standard JPA EntityManager
that is
specifically designed for tests. If you want to use TestEntityManager
outside of
@DataJpaTest
instances, you can also use the @AutoConfigureTestEntityManager
annotation. A JdbcTemplate
is also available if you need that. The following example
shows the @DataJpaTest
annotation in use:
import org.junit.*; import org.junit.runner.*; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.*; import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.*; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @DataJpaTest public class ExampleRepositoryTests { @Autowired private TestEntityManager entityManager; @Autowired private UserRepository repository; @Test public void testExample() throws Exception { this.entityManager.persist(new User("sboot", "1234")); User user = this.repository.findByUsername("sboot"); assertThat(user.getUsername()).isEqualTo("sboot"); assertThat(user.getVin()).isEqualTo("1234"); } }
In-memory embedded databases generally work well for tests, since they are fast and do
not require any installation. If, however, you prefer to run tests against a real
database you can use the @AutoConfigureTestDatabase
annotation, as shown in the
following example:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @DataJpaTest @AutoConfigureTestDatabase(replace=Replace.NONE) public class ExampleRepositoryTests { // ... }
A list of the auto-configuration settings that are enabled by @DataJpaTest
can be
found in the appendix.
@JdbcTest
is similar to @DataJpaTest
but is for pure JDBC-related tests. By default,
it also configures an in-memory embedded database and a JdbcTemplate
. Regular
@Component
beans are not loaded into the ApplicationContext
.
By default, JDBC tests are transactional and roll back at the end of each test. See the relevant section in the Spring Framework Reference Documentation for more details. If that is not what you want, you can disable transaction management for a test or for the whole class, as follows:
import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.jdbc.JdbcTest; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Propagation; import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @JdbcTest @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.NOT_SUPPORTED) public class ExampleNonTransactionalTests { }
If you prefer your test to run against a real database, you can use the
@AutoConfigureTestDatabase
annotation in the same way as for DataJpaTest
. (See
"Section 43.3.11, “Auto-configured Data JPA Tests”".)
A list of the auto-configuration that is enabled by @JdbcTest
can be
found in the appendix.
You can use @JooqTest
in a similar fashion as @JdbcTest
but for jOOQ-related tests.
As jOOQ relies heavily on a Java-based schema that corresponds with the database schema,
the existing DataSource
is used. If you want to replace it with an in-memory database,
you can use @AutoConfigureTestDatabase
to override those settings. (For more about using
jOOQ with Spring Boot, see "Section 29.5, “Using jOOQ”", earlier in this chapter.)
@JooqTest
configures a DSLContext
. Regular @Component
beans are not loaded into the
ApplicationContext
. The following example shows the @JooqTest
annotation in use:
import org.jooq.DSLContext; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.jooq.JooqTest; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @JooqTest public class ExampleJooqTests { @Autowired private DSLContext dslContext; }
JOOQ tests are transactional and roll back at the end of each test by default. If that is not what you want, you can disable transaction management for a test or for the whole test class as shown in the JDBC example.

You can use @DataMongoTest
to test MongoDB applications. By default, it configures an

beans are not loaded into the ApplicationContext
. (For more about using
MongoDB with Spring Boot, see "Section 30.2, “MongoDB”", earlier in this chapter.)
The following class shows the @DataMongoTest
annotation in use:

In-memory embedded MongoDB generally works well for tests, since it is fast and does not require any developer installation. If, however, you prefer to run tests against a real MongoDB server, you should exclude the embedded MongoDB auto-configuration, as shown in the following example:
import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.mongo.embedded.EmbeddedMongoAutoConfiguration; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.data.mongo.DataMongoTest; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @DataMongoTest(excludeAutoConfiguration = EmbeddedMongoAutoConfiguration.class) public class ExampleDataMongoNonEmbeddedTests { }

You can use @DataNeo4jTest
to test Neo4j applications. By default, it uses an in-memory

beans are not loaded into
the ApplicationContext
. (For more about using Neo4J with Spring Boot, see

Spring Boot, see "Section 30.9, “LDAP”", earlier in this chapter.)
The following example shows the @DataLdapTest
annotation in use:
import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.data.ldap.DataLdapTest; import org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @DataLdapTest public class ExampleDataLdapTests { @Autowired private LdapTemplate ldapTemplate; // }
In-memory embedded LDAP generally works well for tests, since it is fast and does not require any developer installation. If, however, you prefer to run tests against a real LDAP server, you should exclude the embedded LDAP auto-configuration, as shown in the following example:
import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.ldap.embedded.EmbeddedLdapAutoConfiguration; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.data.ldap.DataLdapTest; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @DataLdapTest(excludeAutoConfiguration = EmbeddedLdapAutoConfiguration.class) public class ExampleDataLdapNonEmbeddedTests { }
A list of the auto-configuration settings that are enabled by @DataLdapTest
can be
found in the appendix.
You can use the @RestClientTest
annotation to test REST clients. By default, it
auto-configures Jackson, GSON, and Jsonb support, configures a RestTemplateBuilder
, and
adds support for MockRestServiceServer
. The specific beans that you want to test should
be specified by using the value
or components
attribute of @RestClientTest
, as
shown in the following example:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @RestClientTest(RemoteVehicleDetailsService.class) public class ExampleRestClientTest { @Autowired private RemoteVehicleDetailsService service; @Autowired private MockRestServiceServer server; @Test public void getVehicleDetailsWhenResultIsSuccessShouldReturnDetails() throws Exception { this.server.expect(requestTo("/greet/details")) .andRespond(withSuccess("hello", MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)); String greeting = this.service.callRestService(); assertThat(greeting).isEqualTo("hello"); } }
A list of the auto-configuration settings that are enabled by @RestClientTest
can be
found in the appendix.
You can use the @AutoConfigureRestDocs
annotation to use Spring REST
Docs in your tests with Mock MVC or REST Assured. It removes the need for the JUnit rule
in Spring REST Docs.
@AutoConfigureRestDocs
can be used to override the default output directory
(target/generated-snippets
if you are using Maven or build/generated-snippets
if you
are using Gradle). It can also be used to configure the host, scheme, and port that
appears in any documented URIs.
@AutoConfigureRestDocs
customizes the MockMvc
bean to use Spring REST Docs. You can
inject it by using @Autowired
and use it in your tests as you normally would when using
Mock MVC and Spring REST Docs, as shown in the following example:
import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.web.servlet.WebMvcTest; import org.springframework.http.MediaType; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc; import static org.springframework.restdocs.mockmvc.MockMvcRestDocumentation.document; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders.get; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.*; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @WebMvcTest(UserController.class) @AutoConfigureRestDocs public class UserDocumentationTests { @Autowired private MockMvc mvc; @Test public void listUsers() throws Exception { this.mvc.perform(get("/users").accept(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)) .andExpect(status().isOk()) .andDo(document("list-users")); } }
If you require more control over Spring REST Docs configuration than offered by the
attributes of @AutoConfigureRestDocs
, you can use a
RestDocsMockMvcConfigurationCustomizer
bean, as shown in the following example:
@TestConfiguration static class CustomizationConfiguration implements RestDocsMockMvcConfigurationCustomizer { @Override public void customize(MockMvcRestDocumentationConfigurer configurer) { configurer.snippets().withTemplateFormat(TemplateFormats.markdown()); } }
If you want to make use of Spring REST Docs support for a parameterized output directory,
you can create a RestDocumentationResultHandler
bean. The auto-configuration calls
alwaysDo
with this result handler, thereby causing each MockMvc
call to automatically
generate the default snippets. The following example shows a
RestDocumentationResultHandler
being defined:
@TestConfiguration static class ResultHandlerConfiguration { @Bean public RestDocumentationResultHandler restDocumentation() { return MockMvcRestDocumentation.document("{method-name}"); } }
@AutoConfigureRestDocs
makes a RequestSpecification
bean, preconfigured to use Spring
REST Docs, available to your tests. You can inject it by using @Autowired
and use it in
your tests as you normally would when using REST Assured and Spring REST Docs, as shown
in the following example:
import io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.boot.test.autoconfigure.restdocs.AutoConfigureRestDocs; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment; import org.springframework.boot.web.server.LocalServerPort; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given; import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is; import static org.springframework.restdocs.restassured3.RestAssuredRestDocumentation.document; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) @AutoConfigureRestDocs public class UserDocumentationTests { @LocalServerPort private int port; @Autowired private RequestSpecification documentationSpec; @Test public void listUsers() { given(this.documentationSpec).filter(document("list-users")).when() .port(this.port).get("/").then().assertThat().statusCode(is(200)); } }
If you require more control over Spring REST Docs configuration than offered by the
attributes of @AutoConfigureRestDocs
, a RestDocsRestAssuredConfigurationCustomizer
bean can be used, as shown in the following example:
@TestConfiguration public static class CustomizationConfiguration implements RestDocsRestAssuredConfigurationCustomizer { @Override public void customize(RestAssuredRestDocumentationConfigurer configurer) { configurer.snippets().withTemplateFormat(TemplateFormats.markdown()); } }
If you structure your code in a sensible way, your
@SpringBootApplication
class is
used by default as
the configuration of your tests.
It then becomes important not to litter the application’s main class with configuration settings that are specific to a particular area of its functionality.
Assume that you are using Spring Batch and you rely on the auto-configuration for it.
You could define your @SpringBootApplication
as follows:
@SpringBootApplication @EnableBatchProcessing public class SampleApplication { ... }
Because this class is the source configuration for the test, any slice test actually
tries to start Spring Batch, which is definitely not what you want to do. A recommended
approach is to move that area-specific configuration to a separate @Configuration
class
at the same level as your application, as shown in the following example:
@Configuration @EnableBatchProcessing public class BatchConfiguration { ... }
![]() | Note |

Depending on the complexity of your application, you may either have a single

Another source of confusion is classpath scanning. Assume that, while you structured your code in a sensible way, you need to scan an additional package. Your application may resemble the following code:
@SpringBootApplication @ComponentScan({ "com.example.app", "org.acme.another" }) public class SampleApplication { ... }
Doing so effectively overrides the default component scan directive with the side effect
of scanning those two packages regardless of the slice that you chose. For instance, a
@DataJpaTest
seems to suddenly scan components and user configurations of your
application. Again, moving the custom directive to a separate class is a good way to fix
this issue.

If you wish to use Spock to test a Spring Boot application, you should add a dependency
on Spock’s spock-spring
module to your application’s build. spock-spring
integrates
Spring’s test framework into Spock. It is recommended that you use Spock 1.1 or later to
benefit from a number of improvements to Spock’s Spring Framework and Spring Boot
integration. See the documentation
for Spock’s Spring module for further details.
A few test utility classes that are generally useful when testing your application are
packaged as part of spring-boot
.
ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer
is an ApplicationContextInitializer
that you
can apply to your tests to load Spring Boot application.properties
files. You can use
it when you do not need the full set of features provided by @SpringBootTest
, as shown
in the following example:
@ContextConfiguration(classes = Config.class, initializers = ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer.class)

lets you quickly add properties to a

. You can call it with

OutputCapture
is a JUnit Rule
that you can use to capture System.out
and
System.err
output. You can declare the capture as a @Rule
and then use toString()
for assertions, as follows:
import org.junit.Rule; import org.junit.Test; import org.springframework.boot.test.rule.OutputCapture; import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*; import static org.junit.Assert.*; public class MyTest { @Rule public OutputCapture capture = new OutputCapture(); @Test public void testName() throws Exception { System.out.println("Hello World!"); assertThat(capture.toString(), containsString("World")); } }

TestRestTemplate
is a convenience alternative to Spring’s RestTemplate
that is useful
in integration tests. You can get a vanilla template or one that sends Basic HTTP
authentication (with a username and password). In either case, the template behaves in a
test-friendly way by not throwing exceptions on server-side errors. It is recommended,
but not mandatory, to use the Apache HTTP Client (version 4.3.2 or better). If you have
that on your classpath, the TestRestTemplate
responds by configuring the client
appropriately. If you do use Apache’s HTTP client, some additional test-friendly features
are enabled:
TestRestTemplate
can be instantiated directly in your integration tests, as shown in
the following example:
public class MyTest { private TestRestTemplate template = new TestRestTemplate(); @Test public void testRequest() throws Exception { HttpHeaders headers = this.template.getForEntity( "http://myhost.example.com/example", String.class).getHeaders(); assertThat(headers.getLocation()).hasHost("other.example.com"); } }
Alternatively, if you use the @SpringBootTest
annotation with
WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT
or WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT
, you can inject a
fully configured TestRestTemplate
and start using it. If necessary, additional
customizations can be applied through the RestTemplateBuilder
bean. Any URLs that do
not specify a host and port automatically connect to the embedded server, as shown in the
following example:
@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) public class SampleWebClientTests { @Autowired private TestRestTemplate template; @Test public void testRequest() { HttpHeaders headers = this.template.getForEntity("/example", String.class) .getHeaders(); assertThat(headers.getLocation()).hasHost("other.example.com"); } @TestConfiguration static class Config { @Bean public RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder() { return new RestTemplateBuilder().setConnectTimeout(1000).setReadTimeout(1000); } } }
Spring Boot provides WebSockets auto-configuration for embedded Tomcat 8.5, Jetty 9, and Undertow. If you deploy a war file to a standalone container, Spring Boot assumes that the container is responsible for the configuration of its WebSocket support.
Spring Framework provides rich WebSocket support
that can be easily accessed through the spring-boot-starter-websocket
module.
Spring Boot provides Web Services auto-configuration so that all you must do is define
your Endpoints
.
The Spring Web Services features can be easily accessed
with the spring-boot-starter-webservices
module.
SimpleWsdl11Definition
and SimpleXsdSchema
beans can be automatically created for
your WSDLs and XSDs respectively. To do so, configure their location, as shown in the
following example:
spring.webservices.wsdl-locations=classpath:/wsdl
If you work in a company that develops shared libraries, or if you work on an open-source or commercial library, you might want to develop your own auto-configuration. Auto-configuration classes can be bundled in external jars and still be picked-up by Spring Boot.
Auto-configuration can be associated to a “starter” that provides the auto-configuration code as well as the typical libraries that you would use with it. We first cover what you need to know to build your own auto-configuration and then we move on to the typical steps required to create a custom starter.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
A demo project is available to showcase how you can create a starter step-by-step. |
Under the hood, auto-configuration is implemented with standard @Configuration
classes.
Additional @Conditional
annotations are used to constrain when the auto-configuration
should apply. Usually, auto-configuration classes use @ConditionalOnClass
and
@ConditionalOnMissingBean
annotations. This ensures that auto-configuration applies
only when relevant classes are found and when you have not declared your own
@Configuration
.
You can browse the source code of spring-boot-autoconfigure
to see the @Configuration
classes that Spring provides (see the
META-INF/spring.factories
file).
Spring Boot checks for the presence of a META-INF/spring.factories
file within your
published jar. The file should list your configuration classes under the
EnableAutoConfiguration
key, as shown in the following example:
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=\ com.mycorp.libx.autoconfigure.LibXAutoConfiguration,\ com.mycorp.libx.autoconfigure.LibXWebAutoConfiguration
You can use the
@AutoConfigureAfter
or
@AutoConfigureBefore
annotations if your configuration needs to be applied in a specific order. For example,
if you provide web-specific configuration, your class may need to be applied after
WebMvcAutoConfiguration
.
If you want to order certain auto-configurations that should not have any direct
knowledge of each other, you can also use @AutoConfigureOrder
. That annotation has the
same semantic as the regular @Order
annotation but provides a dedicated order for
auto-configuration classes.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Auto-configurations must be loaded that way only. Make sure that they are defined in a specific package space and that, in particular, they are never the target of component scanning. |
You almost always want to include one or more @Conditional
annotations on your
auto-configuration class. The @ConditionalOnMissingBean
annotation is one common
example that is used to allow developers to override auto-configuration if they are
not happy with your defaults.
Spring Boot includes a number of @Conditional
annotations that you can reuse in your
own code by annotating @Configuration
classes or individual @Bean
methods. These
annotations include:
The @ConditionalOnClass
and @ConditionalOnMissingClass
annotations let configuration
be included based on the presence or absence of specific classes. Due to the fact that
annotation metadata is parsed by using ASM, you can use the value
attribute to refer to the real class, even though that class might not actually appear on
the running application classpath. You can also use the name
attribute if you prefer to
specify the class name by using a String
value.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
If you use |
The @ConditionalOnBean
and @ConditionalOnMissingBean
annotations let a bean be
included based on the presence or absence of specific beans. You can use the value
attribute to specify beans by type or name
to specify beans by name. The search
attribute lets you limit the ApplicationContext
hierarchy that should be considered
when searching for beans.
When placed on a @Bean
method, the target type defaults to the return type of the
method, as shown in the following example:
@Configuration public class MyAutoConfiguration { @Bean @ConditionalOnMissingBean public MyService myService() { ... } }
In the preceding example, the myService
bean is going to be created if no bean of type
MyService
is already contained in the ApplicationContext
.

You need to be very careful about the order in which bean definitions are added, as
these conditions are evaluated based on what has been processed so far. For this reason,
we recommend using only |
![]() | Note |

|
The @ConditionalOnProperty
annotation lets configuration be included based on a Spring
Environment property. Use the prefix
and name
attributes to specify the property that
should be checked. By default, any property that exists and is not equal to false
is
matched. You can also create more advanced checks by using the havingValue
and
matchIfMissing
attributes.
The @ConditionalOnResource
annotation lets configuration be included only when a
specific resource is present. Resources can be specified by using the usual Spring
conventions, as shown in the following example: file:/home/user/test.dat
.
The @ConditionalOnWebApplication
and @ConditionalOnNotWebApplication
annotations let
configuration be included depending on whether the application is a “web application”.
A web application is any application that uses a Spring WebApplicationContext
,
defines a session
scope, or has a StandardServletEnvironment
.
The @ConditionalOnExpression
annotation lets configuration be included based on the
result of a SpEL expression.
An auto-configuration can be affected by many factors: user configuration (@Bean
definition and Environment
customization), condition evaluation (presence of a
particular library), and others. Concretely, each test should create a well defined
ApplicationContext
that represents a combination of those customizations.
ApplicationContextRunner
provides a great way to achieve that.
ApplicationContextRunner
is usually defined as a field of the test class to gather the
base, common configuration. The following example makes sure that
UserServiceAutoConfiguration
is always invoked:
private final ApplicationContextRunner contextRunner = new ApplicationContextRunner() .withConfiguration(AutoConfigurations.of(UserServiceAutoConfiguration.class));
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
If multiple auto-configurations have to be defined, there is no need to order their declarations as they are invoked in the exact same order as when running the application. |
Each test can use the runner to represent a particular use case. For instance, the sample
below invokes a user configuration (UserConfiguration
) and checks that the
auto-configuration backs off properly. Invoking run
provides a callback context that can
be used with Assert4J
.
@Test public void defaultServiceBacksOff() { this.contextRunner.withUserConfiguration(UserConfiguration.class) .run((context) -> { assertThat(context).hasSingleBean(UserService.class); assertThat(context.getBean(UserService.class)).isSameAs( context.getBean(UserConfiguration.class).myUserService()); }); } @Configuration static class UserConfiguration { @Bean public UserService myUserService() { return new UserService("mine"); } }
It is also possible to easily customize the Environment
, as shown in the following
example:
@Test public void serviceNameCanBeConfigured() { this.contextRunner.withPropertyValues("user.name=test123").run((context) -> { assertThat(context).hasSingleBean(UserService.class); assertThat(context.getBean(UserService.class).getName()).isEqualTo("test123"); }); }
If you need to test an auto-configuration that only operates in a Servlet or Reactive web
application context, use the WebApplicationContextRunner
or
ReactiveWebApplicationContextRunner
respectively.
It is also possible to test what happens when a particular class and/or package is not
present at runtime. Spring Boot ships with a FilteredClassLoader
that can easily be used
by the runner. In the following example, we assert that if UserService
is not present, the
auto-configuration is properly disabled:
@Test public void serviceIsIgnoredIfLibraryIsNotPresent() { this.contextRunner.withClassLoader(new FilteredClassLoader(UserService.class)) .run((context) -> assertThat(context).doesNotHaveBean("userService")); }
A full Spring Boot starter for a library may contain the following components:
autoconfigure
module that contains the auto-configuration code.starter
module that provides a dependency to the autoconfigure
module as well
as the library and any additional dependencies that are typically useful. In a nutshell,
adding the starter should provide everything needed to start using that library.![]() | Tip |
---|---|
You may combine the auto-configuration code and the dependency management in a single module if you do not need to separate those two concerns. |
You should make sure to provide a proper namespace for your starter. Do not start your
module names with spring-boot
, even if you use a different Maven groupId
. We may
offer official support for the thing you auto-configure in the future.
As a rule of thumb, you should name a combined module after the starter. For example,
assume that you are creating a starter for "acme" and that you name the auto-configure
module acme-spring-boot-autoconfigure
and the starter acme-spring-boot-starter
. If
you only have one module that combines the two, name it acme-spring-boot-starter
.
Also, if your starter provides configuration keys, use a unique namespace for them. In
particular, do not include your keys in the namespaces that Spring Boot uses (such as
server
, management
, spring
, and so on). If you use the same namespace, we may modify
these namespaces in the future in ways that break your modules.
Make sure to
trigger
meta-data generation so that IDE assistance is available for your keys as well. You may
want to review the generated meta-data (META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json
) to
make sure your keys are properly documented.
The autoconfigure
module contains everything that is necessary to get started with the
library. It may also contain configuration key definitions (such as
@ConfigurationProperties
) and any callback interface that can be used to further
customize how the components are initialized.

The starter is really an empty jar. Its only purpose is to provide the necessary dependencies to work with the library. You can think of it as an opinionated view of what is required to get started.
Do not make assumptions about the project in which your starter is added. If the library you are auto-configuring typically requires other starters, mention them as well. Providing a proper set of default dependencies may be hard if the number of optional dependencies is high, as you should avoid including dependencies that are unnecessary for a typical usage of the library. In other words, you should not include optional dependencies.

Either way, your starter must reference the core Spring Boot starter

Kotlin is a statically-typed language targeting the JVM (and other platforms) which allows writing concise and elegant code while providing interoperability with existing libraries written in Java.
Spring Boot provides Kotlin support by leveraging the support in other Spring projects such as Spring Framework, Spring Data, and Reactor. See the Spring Framework Kotlin support documentation for more information.
The easiest way to start with Spring Boot and Kotlin is to create a project via
start.spring.io. Feel free to join the #spring
channel of Kotlin Slack or ask a question with spring
and kotlin
tags on Stack
Overflow if you need support.
Spring Boot supports Kotlin 1.2.x. To use Kotlin, org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib
and
org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect
must be present on the classpath. The
kotlin-stdlib
variants kotlin-stdlib-jdk7
and kotlin-stdlib-jdk8
can also be used.
Since Kotlin classes are final by default, you are likely to want to configure kotlin-spring plugin in order to automatically open Spring-annotated classes so that they can be proxied.
Jackson’s Kotlin module is required for serializing / deserializing JSON data in Kotlin. It is automatically registered when found on the classpath. A warning message is logged if Jackson and Kotlin are present but the Jackson Kotlin module is not.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
These dependencies and plugins are provided by default if one bootstraps a Kotlin project on start.spring.io. |
One of Kotlin’s key features is null-safety. It
deals with null
values at compile time rather than deferring the problem to runtime and
encountering a NullPointerException
. This helps to eliminate a common source of bugs
without paying the cost of wrappers like Optional
. Kotlin also allows using functional
constructs with nullable values as described in this
comprehensive guide to null-safety in Kotlin.
Although Java does not allow one to express null-safety in its type system, Spring Framework, Spring Data, and Reactor now provide null-safety of their API via tooling-friendly annotations. By default, types from Java APIs used in Kotlin are recognized as platform types for which null-checks are relaxed. Kotlin’s support for JSR 305 annotations combined with nullability annotations provide null-safety for the related Spring API in Kotlin.
The JSR 305 checks can be configured by adding the -Xjsr305
compiler flag with the
following options: -Xjsr305={strict|warn|ignore}
. The default behavior is the same as
-Xjsr305=warn
. The strict
value is required to have null-safety taken in account in
Kotlin types inferred from Spring API but should be used with the knowledge that Spring
API nullability declaration could evolve even between minor releases and more checks may
be added in the future).
WARN: Generic type arguments, varargs and array elements nullability are not yet supported. See SPR-15942 for up-to-date information. Also be aware that Spring Boot’s own API is not yet annotated.
Spring Boot provides an idiomatic way to run an application with
runApplication<MyApplication>(*args)
as shown in the following example:
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication import org.springframework.boot.runApplication @SpringBootApplication class MyApplication fun main(args: Array<String>) { runApplication<MyApplication>(*args) }
This is a drop-in replacement for
SpringApplication.run(MyApplication::class.java, *args)
. It also allows customization
of the application as shown in the following example:
runApplication<MyApplication>(*args) { setBannerMode(OFF) }
Kotlin extensions provide the ability to extend existing classes with additional functionality. The Spring Boot Kotlin API makes use of these extensions to add new Kotlin specific conveniences to existing APIs.
TestRestTemplate
extensions, similar to those provided by Spring Framework for
RestOperations
in Spring Framework, are provided. Among other things, the extensions
make it possible to take advantage of Kotlin reified type parameters.
In order to avoid mixing different version of Kotlin dependencies on the classpath, dependency management of the following Kotlin dependencies is provided:
kotlin-reflect
kotlin-runtime
kotlin-stdlib
kotlin-stdlib-jdk7
kotlin-stdlib-jdk8
kotlin-stdlib-jre7
kotlin-stdlib-jre8
With Maven, the Kotlin version can be customized via the kotlin.version
property and
plugin management is provided for kotlin-maven-plugin
. With Gradle, the Spring Boot
plugin automatically aligns the kotlin.version
with the version of the Kotlin plugin.
@ConfigurationProperties
currently only works with lateinit
or nullable var
properties (the former is recommended), since immutable classes initialized by
constructors are not yet supported.
@ConfigurationProperties("example.kotlin") class KotlinExampleProperties { lateinit var name: String lateinit var description: String val myService = MyService() class MyService { lateinit var apiToken: String lateinit var uri: URI } }

To generate
your own
metadata using the annotation processor, |
While it is possible to use JUnit 4 (the default provided by spring-boot-starter-test
)
to test Kotlin code, JUnit 5 is recommended. JUnit 5 enables a test class to be
instantiated once and reused for all of the class’s tests. This makes it possible to use
@BeforeAll
and @AfterAll
annotations on non-static methods, which is a good fit for
Kotlin.
To use JUnit 5, exclude junit:junit
dependency from spring-boot-starter-test
, add
JUnit 5 dependencies, and configure the Maven or Gradle plugin accordingly. See the
JUnit 5
documentation for more details. You also need to
switch test
instance lifecycle to "per-class".
spring
and kotlin
tagsIf you want to learn more about any of the classes discussed in this section, you can check out the Spring Boot API documentation or you can browse the source code directly. If you have specific questions, take a look at the how-to section.
If you are comfortable with Spring Boot’s core features, you can continue on and read about production-ready features.
Spring Boot includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and manage your application when you push it to production. You can choose to manage and monitor your application by using HTTP endpoints or with JMX. Auditing, health, and metrics gathering can also be automatically applied to your application.
The spring-boot-actuator
module
provides all of Spring Boot’s production-ready features. The simplest way to enable the
features is to add a dependency to the spring-boot-starter-actuator
‘Starter’.
To add the actuator to a Maven based project, add the following ‘Starter’ dependency:
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies>
For Gradle, use the following declaration:
dependencies {
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
}
Actuator endpoints let you monitor and interact with your application. Spring Boot
includes a number of built-in endpoints and lets you add your own. For example, the
health
endpoint provides basic application health information.
Each individual endpoint can be enabled
or disabled. This controls whether or not the endpoint is created and its bean exists in
the application context. To be remotely accessible an endpoint also has to be
exposed via JMX or HTTP. Most
applications choose HTTP, where the ID of the endpoint along with a prefix of /actuator
is mapped to a URL. For example, by default, the health
endpoint is mapped to
/actuator/health
.
The following technology-agnostic endpoints are available:
ID | Description | Enabled by default |
---|---|---|
| Exposes audit events information for the current application. | Yes |
| Displays a complete list of all the Spring beans in your application. | Yes |
| Shows the conditions that were evaluated on configuration and auto-configuration classes and the reasons why they did or did not match. | Yes |
| Displays a collated list of all | Yes |
| Exposes properties from Spring’s | Yes |
| Shows any Flyway database migrations that have been applied. | Yes |
| Shows application health information. | Yes |
| Displays HTTP trace information (by default, the last 100 HTTP request-response exchanges). | Yes |
| Displays arbitrary application info. | Yes |
| Shows and modifies the configuration of loggers in the application. | Yes |
| Shows any Liquibase database migrations that have been applied. | Yes |
| Shows ‘metrics’ information for the current application. | Yes |
| Displays a collated list of all | Yes |
| Displays the scheduled tasks in your application. | Yes |
| Allows retrieval and deletion of user sessions from a Spring Session-backed session store. Not available when using Spring Session’s support for reactive web applications. | Yes |
| Lets the application be gracefully shutdown. | No |
| Performs a thread dump. | Yes |
If your application is a web application (Spring MVC, Spring WebFlux, or Jersey), you can use the following additional endpoints:
ID | Description | Enabled by default |
---|---|---|
| Returns a GZip compressed | Yes |
| Exposes JMX beans over HTTP (when Jolokia is on the classpath, not available for WebFlux). | Yes |
| Returns the contents of the logfile (if | Yes |
| Exposes metrics in a format that can be scraped by a Prometheus server. | Yes |
To learn more about the Actuator’s endpoints and their request and response formats, please refer to the separate API documentation (HTML or PDF).
By default, all endpoints except for shutdown
are enabled. To configure the enablement
of an endpoint, use its management.endpoint.<id>.enabled
property. The following
example enables the shutdown
endpoint:
management.endpoint.shutdown.enabled=true
If you prefer endpoint enablement to be opt-in rather than opt-out, set the
management.endpoints.enabled-by-default
property to false
and use individual endpoint
enabled
properties to opt back in. The following example enables the info
endpoint and
disables all other endpoints:
management.endpoints.enabled-by-default=false management.endpoint.info.enabled=true

Disabled endpoints are removed entirely from the application context. If you want
to change only the technologies over which an endpoint is exposed, use the

Since Endpoints may contain sensitive information, careful consideration should be given about when to expose them. The following table shows the default exposure for the built-in endpoints:
ID | JMX | Web |
---|---|---|
| Yes | No |
| Yes | No |
| Yes | No |

To change which endpoints are exposed, use the following technology-specific include
and
exclude
properties:
Property | Default |
---|---|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
The include
property lists the IDs of the endpoints that are exposed. The exclude
property lists the IDs of the endpoints that should not be exposed. The exclude
property takes precedence over the include
property. Both include
and exclude
properties can be configured with a list of endpoint IDs.
For example, to stop exposing all endpoints over JMX and only expose the health
and
info
endpoints, use the following property:
management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.include=health,info
*
can be used to select all endpoints. For example, to expose everything over HTTP
except the env
and beans
endpoints, use the following properties:
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=* management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude=env,beans

If your application is exposed publicly, we strongly recommend that you also secure your endpoints. |
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
If you want to implement your own strategy for when endpoints are exposed, you can
register an |
You should take care to secure HTTP endpoints in the same way that you would any other
sensitive URL. If Spring Security is present, endpoints are secured by default using
Spring Security’s content-negotiation strategy. If you wish to configure custom security
for HTTP endpoints, for example, only allow users with a certain role to access them,
Spring Boot provides some convenient RequestMatcher
objects that can be used in
combination with Spring Security.
A typical Spring Security configuration might look something like the following example:
@Configuration public class ActuatorSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http.requestMatcher(EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()).authorizeRequests() .anyRequest().hasRole("ENDPOINT_ADMIN") .and() .httpBasic(); } }
The preceding example uses EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()
to match a request to any
endpoint and then ensures that all have the ENDPOINT_ADMIN
role. Several other matcher
methods are also available on EndpointRequest
. See the API documentation
(HTML or
PDF) for details.
If you deploy applications behind a firewall, you may prefer that all your actuator
endpoints can be accessed without requiring authentication. You can do so by changing the
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include
property, as follows:
application.properties.
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*
Additionally, if Spring Security is present, you would need to add custom security configuration that allows unauthenticated access to the endpoints as shown in the following example:
@Configuration public class ActuatorSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http.requestMatcher(EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()).authorizeRequests() .anyRequest().permitAll() } }
Endpoints automatically cache responses to read operations that do not take any
parameters. To configure the amount of time for which an endpoint will cache a response,
use its cache.time-to-live
property. The following example sets the time-to-live of
the beans
endpoint’s cache to 10 seconds:
application.properties.
management.endpoint.beans.cache.time-to-live=10s

When making an authenticated HTTP request, the |
A “discovery page” is added with links to all the endpoints. The “discovery page” is
available on /actuator
by default.
When a custom management context path is configured, the “discovery page” automatically
moves from /actuator
to the root of the management context. For example, if the
management context path is /management
, then the discovery page is available from
/management
. When the management context path is set to /
, the discovery page is
disabled to prevent the possibility of a clash with other mappings.
By default, endpoints are exposed over HTTP under the /actuator
path by using the ID of
the endpoint. For example, the beans
endpoint is exposed under /actuator/beans
. If you
want to map endpoints to a different path, you can use the
management.endpoints.web.path-mapping
property. Also, if you want change the base path,
you can use management.endpoints.web.base-path
.
The following example remaps /actuator/health
to /healthcheck
:
application.properties.
management.endpoints.web.base-path=/ management.endpoints.web.path-mapping.health=healthcheck
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a W3C specification that lets you specify in a flexible way what kind of cross-domain requests are authorized. If you use Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux, Actuator’s web endpoints can be configured to support such scenarios.
CORS support is disabled by default and is only enabled once the
management.endpoints.web.cors.allowed-origins
property has been set. The following
configuration permits GET
and POST
calls from the example.com
domain:
management.endpoints.web.cors.allowed-origins=http://example.com management.endpoints.web.cors.allowed-methods=GET,POST
![]() | Tip |

See CorsEndpointProperties for a complete list of options. |
If you add a @Bean
annotated with @Endpoint
, any methods annotated with
@ReadOperation
, @WriteOperation
, or @DeleteOperation
are automatically exposed over
JMX and, in a web application, over HTTP as well. Endpoints can be exposed over HTTP using
Jersey, Spring MVC, or Spring WebFlux.
You can also write technology-specific endpoints by using @JmxEndpoint
or
@WebEndpoint
. These endpoints are restricted to their respective technologies. For
example, @WebEndpoint
is exposed only over HTTP and not over JMX.
You can write technology-specific extensions by using @EndpointWebExtension
and
@EndpointJmxExtension
. These annotations let you provide technology-specific operations
to augment an existing endpoint.
Finally, if you need access to web-framework-specific functionality, you can implement
Servlet or Spring @Controller
and @RestController
endpoints at the cost of them not
being available over JMX or when using a different web framework.
Operations on an endpoint receive input via their parameters. When exposed via the web,
the values for these parameters are taken from the URL’s query parameters and from the
JSON request body. When exposed via JMX, the parameters are mapped to the parameters of
the MBean’s operations. Parameters are required by default. They can be made optional
by annotating them with @org.springframework.lang.Nullable
.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
To allow the input to be mapped to the operation method’s parameters, Java code
implementing an endpoint should be compiled with |
The parameters passed to endpoint operation methods are, if necessary, automatically
converted to the required type. Before calling an operation method, the input received via
JMX or an HTTP request is converted to the required types using an instance of
ApplicationConversionService
.
Operations on an @Endpoint
, @WebEndpoint
, or @WebEndpointExtension
are automatically
exposed over HTTP using Jersey, Spring MVC, or Spring WebFlux.
A request predicate is automatically generated for each operation on a web-exposed endpoint.
The path of the predicate is determined by the ID of the endpoint and the base path of
web-exposed endpoints. The default base path is /actuator
. For example, an endpoint with
the ID sessions
will use /actuator/sessions
as its path in the predicate.
The path can be further customized by annotating one or more parameters of the operation
method with @Selector
. Such a parameter is added to the path predicate as a path
variable. The variable’s value is passed into the operation method when the endpoint
operation is invoked.
The HTTP method of the predicate is determined by the operation type, as shown in the following table:
Operation | HTTP method |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a @WriteOperation
(HTTP POST
) that uses the request body, the consumes clause of
the predicate is application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json, application/json
. For
all other operations the consumes clause is empty.
The produces clause of the predicate can be determined by the produces
attribute of the
@DeleteOperation
, @ReadOperation
, and @WriteOperation
annotations. The attribute is
optional. If it is not used, the produces clause is determined automatically.
If the operation method returns void
or Void
the produces clause is empty. If the
operation method returns a org.springframework.core.io.Resource
, the produces clause is
application/octet-stream
. For all other operations the produces clause is
application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json, application/json
.
The default response status for an endpoint operation depends on the operation type (read, write, or delete) and what, if anything, the operation returns.
A @ReadOperation
returns a value, the response status will be 200 (OK). If it does not
return a value, the response status will be 404 (Not Found).
If a @WriteOperation
or @DeleteOperation
returns a value, the response status will be
200 (OK). If it does not return a value the response status will be 204 (No Content).
If an operation is invoked without a required parameter, or with a parameter that cannot be converted to the required type, the operation method will not be called and the response status will be 400 (Bad Request).
An HTTP range request can be used to request part of an HTTP resource. When using Spring
MVC or Spring Web Flux, operations that return a org.springframework.core.io.Resource
automatically support range requests.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Range requests are not supported when using Jersey. |
An operation on a web endpoint or a web-specific endpoint extension can receive the
current java.security.Principal
or
org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.SecurityContext
as a method parameter. The
former is typically used in conjunction with @Nullable
to provide different behaviour
for authenticated and unauthenticated users. The latter is typically used to perform
authorization checks using its isUserInRole(String)
method.
A Servlet
can be exposed as an endpoint by implementing a class annotated with
@ServletEndpoint
that also implements Supplier<EndpointServlet>
. Servlet endpoints
provide deeper integration with the Servlet container but at the expose of portability.
They are intended to be used to expose an existing Servlet
as an endpoint. For new
endpoints, the @Endpoint
and @WebEndpoint
annotations should be preferred whenever
possible.
@ControllerEndpoint
and @RestControllerEndpoint
can be used to implement an endpoint
that is only exposed by Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux. Methods are mapped using the
standard annotations for Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux such as @RequestMapping
and @GetMapping
, with the endpoint’s ID being used as a prefix for the path. Controller
endpoints provide deeper integration with Spring’s web frameworks but at the expense of
portability. The @Endpoint
and @WebEndpoint
annotations should be preferred whenever
possible.
You can use health information to check the status of your running application. It is
often used by monitoring software to alert someone when a production system goes down.
The information exposed by the health
endpoint depends on the
management.endpoint.health.show-details
property which can be configured with one of the
following values:
Name | Description |
---|---|
| Details are never shown. |
| Details are only shown to authorized users. Authorized roles can be configured using
|
| Details are shown to all users. |
The default value is never
. A user is considered to be authorized when they
are in one or more of the endpoint’s roles. If the endpoint has no configured roles
(the default) all authenticated users are considered to be authorized. The roles can
be configured using the management.endpoint.health.roles
property.

Health information is collected from all
HealthIndicator
beans
defined in your ApplicationContext
. Spring Boot includes a number of auto-configured
HealthIndicators
, and you can also write your own. By default, the final system state
is derived by the HealthAggregator
, which sorts the statuses from each
HealthIndicator
based on an ordered list of statuses. The first status in the sorted
list is used as the overall health status. If no HealthIndicator
returns a status that
is known to the HealthAggregator
, an UNKNOWN
status is used.
The following HealthIndicators
are auto-configured by Spring Boot when appropriate:

You need to provide an implementation of the health()

response should include a status and can optionally include
additional details to be displayed. The following code shows a sample HealthIndicator
implementation:

In addition to Spring Boot’s predefined
Status
types, it is also possible for
Health
to return a custom Status
that represents a new system state. In such cases, a
custom implementation of the
HealthAggregator
interface
also needs to be provided, or the default implementation has to be configured by using
the management.health.status.order
configuration property.
For example, assume a new Status
with code FATAL
is being used in one of your
HealthIndicator
implementations. To configure the severity order, add the following
property to your application properties:
management.health.status.order=FATAL, DOWN, OUT_OF_SERVICE, UNKNOWN, UP
The HTTP status code in the response reflects the overall health status (for example,
UP
maps to 200, while OUT_OF_SERVICE
and DOWN
map to 503). You might also want to
register custom status mappings if you access the health endpoint over HTTP. For example,
the following property maps FATAL
to 503 (service unavailable):
management.health.status.http-mapping.FATAL=503
![]() | Tip |

UNKNOWN | No mapping by default, so http status is 200 |
For reactive applications, such as those using Spring WebFlux, ReactiveHealthIndicator
provides a non-blocking contract for getting application health. Similar to a traditional
HealthIndicator
, health information is collected from all
ReactiveHealthIndicator
beans defined in your ApplicationContext
. Regular HealthIndicator
beans that do not
check against a reactive API are included and executed on the elastic scheduler.
To provide custom health information from a reactive API, you can register Spring beans
that implement the
ReactiveHealthIndicator
interface. The following code shows a sample ReactiveHealthIndicator
implementation:
@Component public class MyReactiveHealthIndicator implements ReactiveHealthIndicator { @Override public Mono<Health> health() { return doHealthCheck() //perform some specific health check that returns a Mono<Health> .onErrorResume(ex -> Mono.just(new Health.Builder().down(ex).build()))); } }

Another useful feature of the info
endpoint is its ability to publish information about
the state of your git
source code repository when the project was built. If a
GitProperties
bean is available, the git.branch
, git.commit.id
, and
git.commit.time
properties are exposed.

endpoint can also publish
information about your build. This happens if a META-INF/build-info.properties
file is
available in the classpath.

To provide custom application information, you can register Spring beans that implement

If you reach the info
endpoint, you should see a response that contains the following
additional entry:
{ "example": { "key" : "value" } }
If you are developing a web application, Spring Boot Actuator auto-configures all
enabled endpoints to be exposed over HTTP. The default convention is to use the id
of
the endpoint with a prefix of /actuator
as the URL path. For example, health
is
exposed as /actuator/health
.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
Actuator is supported natively with Spring MVC, Spring WebFlux, and Jersey. |
Sometimes, it is useful to customize the prefix for the management endpoints. For
example, your application might already use /actuator
for another purpose. You can
use the management.endpoints.web.base-path
property to change the prefix for your
management endpoint, as shown in the following example:
management.endpoints.web.base-path=/manage
The preceding application.properties
example changes the endpoint from
/actuator/{id}
to /manage/{id}
(for example, /manage/info
).

---|---|
Unless the management port has been configured to
expose endpoints by using a
different HTTP port, |
Exposing management endpoints by using the default HTTP port is a sensible choice for cloud-based deployments. If, however, your application runs inside your own data center, you may prefer to expose endpoints by using a different HTTP port.
You can set the management.server.port
property to change the HTTP port, as shown in
the following example:
management.server.port=8081
When configured to use a custom port, the management server can also be configured with
its own SSL by using the various management.server.ssl.*
properties. For example, doing
so lets a management server be available over HTTP while the main application uses HTTPS,
as shown in the following property settings:
server.port=8443 server.ssl.enabled=true server.ssl.key-store=classpath:store.jks server.ssl.key-password=secret management.server.port=8080 management.server.ssl.enabled=false
Alternatively, both the main server and the management server can use SSL but with different key stores, as follows:
server.port=8443 server.ssl.enabled=true server.ssl.key-store=classpath:main.jks server.ssl.key-password=secret management.server.port=8080 management.server.ssl.enabled=true management.server.ssl.key-store=classpath:management.jks management.server.ssl.key-password=secret
You can customize the address that the management endpoints are available on by setting
the management.server.address
property. Doing so can be useful if you want to listen
only on an internal or ops-facing network or to listen only for connections from
localhost
.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
You can listen on a different address only when the port differs from the main server port. |
The following example application.properties
does not allow remote management
connections:
management.server.port=8081 management.server.address=127.0.0.1
Java Management Extensions (JMX) provide a standard mechanism to monitor and manage
applications. By default, Spring Boot exposes management endpoints as JMX MBeans under
the org.springframework.boot
domain.
The name of the MBean is usually generated from the id
of the endpoint. For example, the
health
endpoint is exposed as org.springframework.boot:type=Endpoint,name=Health
.
If your application contains more than one Spring ApplicationContext
, you may find that
names clash. To solve this problem, you can set the
management.endpoints.jmx.unique-names
property to true
so that MBean names are always
unique.
You can also customize the JMX domain under which endpoints are exposed. The following
settings show an example of doing so in application.properties
:
management.endpoints.jmx.domain=com.example.myapp management.endpoints.jmx.unique-names=true
If you do not want to expose endpoints over JMX, you can set the
management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.exclude
property to *
, as shown in the following
example:
management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.exclude=*
Jolokia is a JMX-HTTP bridge that provides an alternative method of accessing JMX beans.
To use Jolokia, include a dependency to org.jolokia:jolokia-core
. For example, with
Maven, you would add the following dependency:
<dependency> <groupId>org.jolokia</groupId> <artifactId>jolokia-core</artifactId> </dependency>
The Jolokia endpoint can then be exposed by adding jolokia
or *
to the
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include
property. You can then access it by using
/actuator/jolokia
on your management HTTP server.
Jolokia has a number of settings that you would traditionally configure by setting servlet
parameters. With Spring Boot, you can use your application.properties
file. To do so,
prefix the parameter with management.endpoint.jolokia.config.
, as shown in the following
example:
management.endpoint.jolokia.config.debug=true
Spring Boot Actuator includes the ability to view and configure the log levels of your application at runtime. You can view either the entire list or an individual logger’s configuration, which is made up of both the explicitly configured logging level as well as the effective logging level given to it by the logging framework. These levels can be one of:

Spring Boot Actuator provides dependency management and auto-configuration for Micrometer, an application metrics facade that supports numerous monitoring systems, including:
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
To learn more about Micrometer’s capabilities, please refer to its reference documentation, in particular the concepts section. |
Spring Boot auto-configures a composite MeterRegistry
and adds a registry to the
composite for each of the supported implementations that it finds on the classpath. Having
a dependency on micrometer-registry-{system}
in your runtime classpath is enough for
Spring Boot to configure the registry.
Most registries share common features. For instance, you can disable a particular registry even if the Micrometer registry implementation is on the classpath. For instance, to disable Datadog:
management.metrics.export.datadog.enabled=false
Spring Boot will also add any auto-configured registries to the global static composite
registry on the Metrics
class unless you explicitly tell it not to:
management.metrics.use-global-registry=false
You can register any number of MeterRegistryCustomizer
beans to further configure the
registry, such as applying common tags, before any meters are registered with the
registry:
@Bean MeterRegistryCustomizer<MeterRegistry> metricsCommonTags() { return registry -> registry.config().commonTags("region", "us-east-1"); }
You can apply customizations to particular registry implementations by being more specific about the generic type:
@Bean MeterRegistryCustomizer<GraphiteMeterRegistry> graphiteMetricsNamingConvention() { return registry -> registry.config().namingConvention(MY_CUSTOM_CONVENTION); }
With that setup in place you can inject MeterRegistry
in your components and register
metrics:
@Component public class SampleBean { private final Counter counter; public SampleBean(MeterRegistry registry) { this.counter = registry.counter("received.messages"); } public void handleMessage(String message) { this.counter.increment(); // handle message implementation } }
Spring Boot also configures built-in instrumentation
(i.e. MeterBinder
implementations) that you can control via configuration or dedicated
annotation markers.

Micrometer ships with a simple, in-memory backend that is automatically used as a fallback if no other registry is configured. This allows you to see what metrics are collected in the metrics endpoint.
The in-memory backend disables itself as soon as you’re using any of the other available backend. You can also disable it explicitly:
management.metrics.export.simple.enabled=false
The StatsD registry pushes metrics over UDP to a StatsD agent eagerly. By default, metrics are exported to a StatsD agent running on your local machine. The StatsD agent host and port to use can be provided using:
management.metrics.export.statsd.host=statsd.example.com management.metrics.export.statsd.port=9125
You can also change the StatsD line protocol to use (default to Datadog):
management.metrics.export.statsd.flavor=etsy
Wavefront registry pushes metrics to Wavefront periodically. If you are exporting metrics to Wavefront directly, your API token must be provided:
management.metrics.export.wavefront.api-token=YOUR_API_TOKEN
Alternatively, you may use a Wavefront sidecar or an internal proxy set up in your environment that forwards metrics data to the Wavefront API host:
management.metrics.export.uri=proxy://localhost:2878

method
, the request’s method (for example, GET
or POST
).uri
, the request’s URI template prior to variable substitution, if possible (for
example, /api/person/{id}
).status
, the response’s HTTP status code (for example, 200
or 500

Auto-configuration enables the instrumentation of all available Cache
s on startup
with metrics prefixed with cache
. Cache instrumentation is standardized for a basic set
of metrics. Additional, cache-specific metrics are also available.
The following cache libraries are supported:
Metrics are tagged by the name of the cache and by the name of the CacheManager
that is
derived from the bean name.

Only caches that are available on startup are bound to the registry. For caches
created on-the-fly or programmatically after the startup phase, an explicit registration
is required. A |
Auto-configuration enables the instrumentation of all available DataSource
objects with
a metric named jdbc
. Data source instrumentation results in gauges representing the
currently active, maximum allowed, and minimum allowed connections in the pool. Each of
these gauges has a name that is prefixed by jdbc

Metrics are also tagged by the name of the DataSource
computed based on the bean name.

Also, Hikari-specific metrics are exposed with a hikaricp
prefix. Each metric is tagged
by the name of the Pool (can be controlled with spring.datasource.name
).
To register custom metrics, inject MeterRegistry
into your component, as shown in the
following example:
class Dictionary { private final List<String> words = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<>(); Dictionary(MeterRegistry registry) { registry.gaugeCollectionSize("dictionary.size", Tags.empty(), this.words); } // … }
If you find that you repeatedly instrument a suite of metrics across components or
applications, you may encapsulate this suite in a MeterBinder
implementation. By
default, metrics from all MeterBinder
beans will be automatically bound to
the Spring-managed MeterRegistry
.
If you need to apply customizations to specific Meter
instances you can use the
io.micrometer.core.instrument.config.MeterFilter
interface. By default, all
MeterFilter
beans will be automatically applied to the micrometer
MeterRegistry.Config
.
For example, if you want to rename the mytag.region
tag to mytag.area
for
all meter IDs beginning with com.example
, you can do the following:
@Bean public MeterFilter renameRegionTagMeterFilter() { return MeterFilter.renameTag("com.example", "mytag.region", "mytag.area"); }
In addition to MeterFilter
beans, it’s also possible to apply a limited set of
customization on a per-meter basis using properties. Per-meter customizations apply to
any all meter IDs that start with the given name. For example, the following will disable
any meters that have an ID starting with example.remote
management.metrics.enable.example.remote=false
The following properties allow per-meter customization:

Spring Boot provides a metrics
endpoint that can be used diagnostically to examine the
metrics collected by an application. The endpoint is not available by default and must be
exposed, see exposing endpoints for more
details.
Navigating to /actuator/metrics
displays a list of available meter names. You can drill
down to view information about a particular meter by providing its name as a selector,
e.g. /actuator/metrics/jvm.memory.max

The reported measurements are the sum of the statistics of all meters matching the meter
name and any tags that have been applied. So in the example above, the returned "Value"
statistic is the sum of the maximum memory footprints of "Code Cache",
"Compressed Class Space", and "Metaspace" areas of the heap. If you just wanted to see the
maximum size for the "Metaspace", you could add an additional |
Once Spring Security is in play, Spring Boot Actuator has a flexible audit framework that
publishes events (by default, “authentication success”, “failure” and
“access denied” exceptions). This feature can be very useful for reporting and for
implementing a lock-out policy based on authentication failures. To customize published
security events, you can provide your own implementations of
AbstractAuthenticationAuditListener
and AbstractAuthorizationAuditListener
.
You can also use the audit services for your own business events. To do so, either inject
the existing AuditEventRepository
into your own components and use that directly or
publish an AuditApplicationEvent
with the Spring ApplicationEventPublisher
(by
implementing ApplicationEventPublisherAware
).
Tracing is automatically enabled for all HTTP requests. You can view the httptrace
endpoint and obtain basic information about the last 100 request-response exchanges.
To customize the items that are included in each trace, use the
management.trace.http.include
configuration property.
By default, an InMemoryHttpTraceRepository
that stores traces for the last 100
request-response exchanges is used. If you need to expand the capacity, you can define
your own instance of the InMemoryHttpTraceRepository
bean. You can also create your own
alternative HttpTraceRepository
implementation.
In the spring-boot
module, you can find two classes to create files that are often
useful for process monitoring:
ApplicationPidFileWriter
creates a file containing the application PID (by default,
in the application directory with a file name of application.pid
).WebServerPortFileWriter
creates a file (or files) containing the ports of the
running web server (by default, in the application directory with a file name of
application.port
).By default, these writers are not activated, but you can enable:
In the META-INF/spring.factories
file, you can activate the listener(s) that writes a
PID file, as shown in the following example:
org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener=\ org.springframework.boot.context.ApplicationPidFileWriter,\ org.springframework.boot.web.context.WebServerPortFileWriter
Spring Boot’s actuator module includes additional support that is activated when you
deploy to a compatible Cloud Foundry instance. The /cloudfoundryapplication
path
provides an alternative secured route to all @Endpoint
beans.
The extended support lets Cloud Foundry management UIs (such as the web application that you can use to view deployed applications) be augmented with Spring Boot actuator information. For example, an application status page may include full health information instead of the typical “running” or “stopped” status.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
The |
If you want to fully disable the /cloudfoundryapplication
endpoints, you can add the
following setting to your application.properties
file:
application.properties.
management.cloudfoundry.enabled=false
By default, the security verification for /cloudfoundryapplication
endpoints makes SSL
calls to various Cloud Foundry services. If your Cloud Foundry UAA or Cloud Controller
services use self-signed certificates, you need to set the following property:
application.properties.
management.cloudfoundry.skip-ssl-validation=true
If the server’s context-path has been configured to anything other then /
, the Cloud
Foundry endpoints will not be available at the root of the application. For example, if
server.servlet.context-path=/app
, Cloud Foundry endpoints will be available at
/app/cloudfoundryapplication/*
.
If you expect the Cloud Foundry endpoints to always be available at
/cloudfoundryapplication/*
, regardless of the server’s context-path, you will need to
explicitly configure that in your application. The configuration will differ depending on
the web server in use. For Tomcat, the following configuration can be added:
@Bean public TomcatServletWebServerFactory servletWebServerFactory() { return new TomcatServletWebServerFactory() { @Override protected void prepareContext(Host host, ServletContextInitializer[] initializers) { super.prepareContext(host, initializers); StandardContext child = new StandardContext(); child.addLifecycleListener(new Tomcat.FixContextListener()); child.setPath("/cloudfoundryapplication"); ServletContainerInitializer initializer = getServletContextInitializer( getContextPath()); child.addServletContainerInitializer(initializer, Collections.emptySet()); child.setCrossContext(true); host.addChild(child); } }; } private ServletContainerInitializer getServletContextInitializer(String contextPath) { return (c, context) -> { Servlet servlet = new GenericServlet() { @Override public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException { ServletContext context = req.getServletContext() .getContext(contextPath); context.getRequestDispatcher("/cloudfoundryapplication").forward(req, res); } }; context.addServlet("cloudfoundry", servlet).addMapping("/*"); }; }
If you want to explore some of the concepts discussed in this chapter, you can take a look at the actuator sample applications. You also might want to read about graphing tools such as Graphite.
Otherwise, you can continue on, to read about ‘deployment options’ or jump ahead for some in-depth information about Spring Boot’s build tool plugins.
Spring Boot’s flexible packaging options provide a great deal of choice when it comes to deploying your application. You can deploy Spring Boot applications to a variety of cloud platforms, to container images (such as Docker), or to virtual/real machines.
This section covers some of the more common deployment scenarios.
Spring Boot’s executable jars are ready-made for most popular cloud PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) providers. These providers tend to require that you “bring your own container”. They manage application processes (not Java applications specifically), so they need an intermediary layer that adapts your application to the cloud’s notion of a running process.
Two popular cloud providers, Heroku and Cloud Foundry, employ a “buildpack” approach.
The buildpack wraps your deployed code in whatever is needed to start your application.
It might be a JDK and a call to java
, an embedded web server, or a full-fledged
application server. A buildpack is pluggable, but ideally you should be able to get by
with as few customizations to it as possible. This reduces the footprint of functionality
that is not under your control. It minimizes divergence between development and production
environments.
Ideally, your application, like a Spring Boot executable jar, has everything that it needs to run packaged within it.
In this section, we look at what it takes to get the simple application that we developed in the “Getting Started” section up and running in the Cloud.
Cloud Foundry provides default buildpacks that come into play if no other buildpack is
specified. The Cloud Foundry Java
buildpack has excellent support for Spring applications, including Spring Boot. You can
deploy stand-alone executable jar applications as well as traditional .war
packaged
applications.
Once you have built your application (by using, for example, mvn clean package
) and have
installed the cf
command line tool, deploy your application by using the cf push
command, substituting
the path to your compiled .jar
. Be sure to have
logged in with
your cf
command line client before pushing an application. The following line shows
using the cf push
command to deploy an application:
$ cf push acloudyspringtime -p target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
![]() | Note |
---|---|
In the preceding example, we substitute |
See the cf push
documentation for more options. If there is a Cloud Foundry
manifest.yml
file present in the same directory, it is considered.
At this point, cf
starts uploading your application, producing output similar to the
following example:
Uploading acloudyspringtime... OK Preparing to start acloudyspringtime...

Congratulations! The application is now live!
Once your application is live, you can verify the status of the deployed application by
using the cf apps
command, as shown in the following example:
$ cf apps Getting applications in ... OK name requested state instances memory disk urls ... acloudyspringtime started 1/1 512M 1G acloudyspringtime.cfapps.io ...
Once Cloud Foundry acknowledges that your application has been deployed, you should be
able to find the application at the URI given. In the preceding example, you could find
it at http://acloudyspringtime.cfapps.io/
.
By default, metadata about the running application as well as service connection
information is exposed to the application as environment variables (for example:
$VCAP_SERVICES
). This architecture decision is due to Cloud Foundry’s polyglot (any
language and platform can be supported as a buildpack) nature. Process-scoped environment
variables are language agnostic.
Environment variables do not always make for the easiest API, so Spring Boot automatically
extracts them and flattens the data into properties that can be accessed through Spring’s
Environment
abstraction, as shown in the following example:
@Component class MyBean implements EnvironmentAware { private String instanceId; @Override public void setEnvironment(Environment environment) { this.instanceId = environment.getProperty("vcap.application.instance_id"); } // ... }
All Cloud Foundry properties are prefixed with vcap
. You can use vcap
properties to
access application information (such as the public URL of the application) and service
information (such as database credentials). See the
‘CloudFoundryVcapEnvironmentPostProcessor’
Javadoc for complete details.

The Spring Cloud Connectors project
is a better fit for tasks such as configuring a DataSource. Spring Boot includes
auto-configuration support and a |
Heroku is another popular PaaS platform. To customize Heroku builds, you provide a
Procfile
, which provides the incantation required to deploy an application. Heroku
assigns a port
for the Java application to use and then ensures that routing to the
external URI works.
You must configure your application to listen on the correct port. The following example
shows the Procfile
for our starter REST application:
web: java -Dserver.port=$PORT -jar target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Spring Boot makes -D
arguments available as properties accessible from a Spring
Environment
instance. The server.port
configuration property is fed to the embedded
Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow instance, which then uses the port when it starts up. The $PORT
environment variable is assigned to us by the Heroku PaaS.
This should be everything you need. The most common deployment workflow for Heroku
deployments is to git push
the code to production, as shown in the following example:
$ git push heroku master Initializing repository, done. Counting objects: 95, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (78/78), done.

OpenShift is the Red Hat public (and enterprise) extension of the Kubernetes container orchestration platform. Similarly to Kubernetes, OpenShift has many options for installing Spring Boot based applications.
OpenShift has many resources describing how to deploy Spring Boot applications, including:
Amazon Web Services offers multiple ways to install Spring Boot-based applications, either as traditional web applications (war) or as executable jar files with an embedded web server. The options include:
Each has different features and pricing models. In this document, we describe only the simplest option: AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
As described in the official Elastic Beanstalk Java guide, there are two main options to deploy a Java application. You can either use the “Tomcat Platform” or the “Java SE platform”.
This option applies to Spring Boot projects that produce a war file. No special configuration is required. You need only follow the official guide.
This option applies to Spring Boot projects that produce a jar file and run an embedded
web container. Elastic Beanstalk environments run an nginx instance on port 80 to proxy
the actual application, running on port 5000. To configure it, add the following line to
your application.properties
file:
server.port=5000
![]() | Upload binaries instead of sources |
---|---|
By default, Elastic Beanstalk uploads sources and compiles them in AWS. However, it is
best to upload the binaries instead. To do so, add lines similar to the following to your
deploy: artifact: target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar |
![]() | Reduce costs by setting the environment type |
---|---|
By default an Elastic Beanstalk environment is load balanced. The load balancer has a significant cost. To avoid that cost, set the environment type to “Single instance”, as described in the Amazon documentation. You can also create single instance environments by using the CLI and the following command: eb create -s |
This is one of the easiest ways to get to AWS, but there are more things to cover, such as how to integrate Elastic Beanstalk into any CI / CD tool, use the Elastic Beanstalk Maven plugin instead of the CLI, and others. There is a blog post covering these topics more in detail.
Boxfuse works by turning your Spring Boot executable jar or war into a minimal VM image that can be deployed unchanged either on VirtualBox or on AWS. Boxfuse comes with deep integration for Spring Boot and uses the information from your Spring Boot configuration file to automatically configure ports and health check URLs. Boxfuse leverages this information both for the images it produces as well as for all the resources it provisions (instances, security groups, elastic load balancers, and so on).
Once you have created a Boxfuse account, connected it to
your AWS account, installed the latest version of the Boxfuse Client, and ensured that
the application has been built by Maven or Gradle (by using, for example, mvn clean
package
), you can deploy your Spring Boot application to AWS with a command similar to
the following:
$ boxfuse run myapp-1.0.jar -env=prod
See the boxfuse run
documentation for
more options. If there is a boxfuse.conf
file present in the current directory, it is considered.
![]() | Tip |

By default, Boxfuse activates a Spring profile named |
At this point, boxfuse
creates an image for your application, uploads it, and configures
and starts the necessary resources on AWS, resulting in output similar to the following
example:

Deployment completed successfully. axelfontaine/myapp:1.0 is up and running at http://myapp-axelfontaine.boxfuse.io/
Your application should now be up and running on AWS.
See the blog post on deploying Spring Boot apps on EC2 as well as the documentation for the Boxfuse Spring Boot integration to get started with a Maven build to run the app.
Google Cloud has several options that can be used to launch Spring Boot applications. The easiest to get started with is probably App Engine, but you could also find ways to run Spring Boot in a container with Container Engine or on a virtual machine with Compute Engine.
To run in App Engine, you can create a project in the UI first, which sets up a unique identifier for you and also sets up HTTP routes. Add a Java app to the project and leave it empty and then use the Google Cloud SDK to push your Spring Boot app into that slot from the command line or CI build.
App Engine Standard requires you to use WAR packaging. Follow these steps to deploy App Engine Standard application to Google Cloud.
Alternatively, App Engine Flex requires you to create an app.yaml
file to describe
the resources your app requires. Normally, you put this file in src/main/appengine
,
and it should resemble the following file:
service: default runtime: java env: flex runtime_config: jdk: openjdk8 handlers: - url: /.* script: this field is required, but ignored manual_scaling: instances: 1 health_check: enable_health_check: False env_variables: ENCRYPT_KEY: your_encryption_key_here
You can deploy the app (for example, with a Maven plugin) by adding the project ID to the build configuration, as shown in the following example:
<plugin> <groupId>com.google.cloud.tools</groupId> <artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.3.0</version> <configuration> <project>myproject</project> </configuration> </plugin>
Then deploy with mvn appengine:deploy
(if you need to authenticate first, the build
fails).
In additional to running Spring Boot applications by using java -jar
, it is also
possible to make fully executable applications for Unix systems. A fully executable jar
can be executed like any other executable binary or it can be
registered with init.d
or systemd
. This makes it very easy to
install and manage Spring Boot applications in common production environments.
![]() | Caution |
---|---|
Fully executable jars work by embedding an extra script at the front of the file.
Currently, some tools do not accept this format, so you may not always be able to use this
technique. For example, |
To create a ‘fully executable’ jar with Maven, use the following plugin configuration:
<plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <executable>true</executable> </configuration> </plugin>
The following example shows the equivalent Gradle configuration:
bootJar { launchScript() }
You can then run your application by typing ./my-application.jar
(where my-application
is the name of your artifact). The directory containing the jar is used as your
application’s working directory.
The default script supports most Linux distributions and is tested on CentOS and Ubuntu.
Other platforms, such as OS X and FreeBSD, require the use of a custom
embeddedLaunchScript
.
Spring Boot application can be easily started as Unix/Linux services by using either
init.d
or systemd
.
If you configured Spring Boot’s Maven or Gradle plugin to generate a fully executable jar, and you do not use a custom embeddedLaunchScript
, your
application can be used as an init.d
service. To do so, symlink the jar to init.d
to
support the standard start
, stop
, restart
, and status
commands.
The script supports the following features:
/var/run/<appname>/<appname>.pid
/var/log/<appname>.log
Assuming that you have a Spring Boot application installed in /var/myapp
, to install a
Spring Boot application as an init.d
service, create a symlink, as follows:
$ sudo ln -s /var/myapp/myapp.jar /etc/init.d/myapp
Once installed, you can start and stop the service in the usual way. For example, on a Debian-based system, you could start it with the following command:
$ service myapp start

The following is a set of guidelines on how to secure a Spring Boot application that runs as an init.d service. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of everything that should be done to harden an application and the environment in which it runs. |
When executed as root, as is the case when root is being used to start an init.d service,
the default executable script runs the application as the user who owns the jar file. You
should never run a Spring Boot application as root
, so your application’s jar file
should never be owned by root. Instead, create a specific user to run your application and
use chown
to make it the owner of the jar file, as shown in the following example:
$ chown bootapp:bootapp your-app.jar
In this case, the default executable script runs the application as the bootapp
user.

To reduce the chances of the application’s user account being compromised, you should
consider preventing it from using a login shell. For example, you can set the account’s
shell to |
You should also take steps to prevent the modification of your application’s jar file. Firstly, configure its permissions so that it cannot be written and can only be read or executed by its owner, as shown in the following example:
$ chmod 500 your-app.jar
Second, you should also take steps to limit the damage if your application or the account
that’s running it is compromised. If an attacker does gain access, they could make the jar
file writable and change its contents. One way to protect against this is to make it
immutable by using chattr
, as shown in the following example:
$ sudo chattr +i your-app.jar
This will prevent any user, including root, from modifying the jar.
If root is used to control the application’s service and you
use a .conf
file to customize its
startup, the .conf
file is read and evaluated by the root user. It should be secured
accordingly. Use chmod
so that the file can only be read by the owner and use chown
to
make root the owner, as shown in the following example:
$ chmod 400 your-app.conf $ sudo chown root:root your-app.conf
systemd
is the successor of the System V init system and is now being used by many
modern Linux distributions. Although you can continue to use init.d
scripts with
systemd
, it is also possible to launch Spring Boot applications by using systemd
‘service’ scripts.
Assuming that you have a Spring Boot application installed in /var/myapp
, to install a
Spring Boot application as a systemd
service, create a script named myapp.service
and
place it in /etc/systemd/system
directory. The following script offers an example:
[Unit] Description=myapp After=syslog.target [Service] User=myapp ExecStart=/var/myapp/myapp.jar SuccessExitStatus=143 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Note that, unlike when running as an init.d
service, the user that runs the application,
the PID file, and the console log file are managed by systemd
itself and therefore must
be configured by using appropriate fields in the ‘service’ script. Consult the
service unit
configuration man page for more details.
To flag the application to start automatically on system boot, use the following command:
$ systemctl enable myapp.service
Refer to man systemctl
for more details.
The default embedded startup script written by the Maven or Gradle plugin can be
customized in a number of ways. For most people, using the default script along with a few
customizations is usually enough. If you find you cannot customize something that you need
to, use the embeddedLaunchScript
option to write your own file entirely.
It often makes sense to customize elements of the start script as it is written into the jar file. For example, init.d scripts can provide a “description”. Since you know the description up front (and it need not change), you may as well provide it when the jar is generated.
To customize written elements, use the embeddedLaunchScriptProperties
option of the
Spring Boot Maven or Gradle plugins.
The following property substitutions are supported with the default script:

A Spring Boot application can be started as a Windows service by using
winsw
.
A (separately maintained sample) describes step-by-step how you can create a Windows service for your Spring Boot application.
Check out the Cloud Foundry, Heroku, OpenShift, and Boxfuse web sites for more information about the kinds of features that a PaaS can offer. These are just four of the most popular Java PaaS providers. Since Spring Boot is so amenable to cloud-based deployment, you can freely consider other providers as well.
The next section goes on to cover the Spring Boot CLI, or you can jump ahead to read about build tool plugins.
The Spring Boot CLI is a command line tool that you can use if you want to quickly develop a Spring application. It lets you run Groovy scripts, which means that you have a familiar Java-like syntax without so much boilerplate code. You can also bootstrap a new project or write your own command for it.
The Spring Boot CLI (Command-Line Interface) can be installed manually by using SDKMAN! (the SDK Manager) or by using Homebrew or MacPorts if you are an OSX user. See Section 10.2, “Installing the Spring Boot CLI” in the “Getting started” section for comprehensive installation instructions.
Once you have installed the CLI, you can run it by typing spring
and pressing Enter at
the command line. If you run spring
without any arguments, a simple help screen is
displayed, as follows:
$ spring
usage: spring [--help] [--version]
<command> [<args>]
Available commands are:
run [options] <files> [--] [args]
Run a spring groovy script
... more command help is shown here
You can type spring help
to get more details about any of the supported commands, as
shown in the following example:
$ spring help run spring run - Run a spring groovy script usage: spring run [options] <files> [--] [args] Option Description ------ ----------- --autoconfigure [Boolean] Add autoconfigure compiler transformations (default: true) --classpath, -cp Additional classpath entries -e, --edit Open the file with the default system editor --no-guess-dependencies Do not attempt to guess dependencies --no-guess-imports Do not attempt to guess imports -q, --quiet Quiet logging -v, --verbose Verbose logging of dependency resolution --watch Watch the specified file for changes
The version
command provides a quick way to check which version of Spring Boot you are
using, as follows:
$ spring version Spring CLI v2.0.2.RELEASE
You can compile and run Groovy source code by using the run
command. The Spring Boot CLI
is completely self-contained, so you do not need any external Groovy installation.
The following example shows a “hello world” web application written in Groovy:
hello.groovy.
@RestController class WebApplication { @RequestMapping("/") String home() { "Hello World!" } }
To compile and run the application, type the following command:
$ spring run hello.groovy
To pass command-line arguments to the application, use --
to separate the commands
from the “spring” command arguments, as shown in the following example:
$ spring run hello.groovy -- --server.port=9000
To set JVM command line arguments, you can use the JAVA_OPTS
environment variable, as
shown in the following example:
$ JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx1024m spring run hello.groovy

Standard Groovy includes a @Grab
annotation, which lets you declare dependencies on
third-party libraries. This useful technique lets Groovy download jars in the same way as
Maven or Gradle would but without requiring you to use a build tool.
Spring Boot extends this technique further and tries to deduce which libraries to “grab”
based on your code. For example, since the WebApplication
code shown previously uses
@RestController
annotations, Spring Boot grabs "Tomcat" and "Spring MVC".
The following items are used as “grab hints”:
Items | Grabs |
---|---|
| JDBC Application. |
| JMS Application. |
| Caching abstraction. |
| JUnit. |
| RabbitMQ. |
| Project Reactor. |
extends | Spock test. |
| Spring Batch. |
| Spring Integration. |
| Spring MVC + Embedded Tomcat. |
| Spring Security. |
| Spring Transaction Management. |
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
See subclasses of
|
Spring Boot extends Groovy’s standard @Grab
support by letting you specify a dependency
without a group or version (for example, @Grab('freemarker')
). Doing so consults Spring
Boot’s default dependency metadata to deduce the artifact’s group and version.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
The default metadata is tied to the version of the CLI that you use. it changes only when you move to a new version of the CLI, putting you in control of when the versions of your dependencies may change. A table showing the dependencies and their versions that are included in the default metadata can be found in the appendix. |
To help reduce the size of your Groovy code, several import
statements are automatically
included. Notice how the preceding example refers to @Component
, @RestController
, and
@RequestMapping
without needing to use fully-qualified names or import
statements.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
Many Spring annotations work without using |
Unlike the equivalent Java application, you do not need to include a
public static void main(String[] args)
method with your Groovy
scripts. A
SpringApplication
is automatically created, with your compiled code acting as the
source
.
By default, the CLI uses the dependency management declared in spring-boot-dependencies
when resolving @Grab
dependencies. Additional dependency management, which overrides
the default dependency management, can be configured by using the
@DependencyManagementBom
annotation. The annotation’s value should specify the
coordinates (groupId:artifactId:version
) of one or more Maven BOMs.
For example, consider the following declaration:
@DependencyManagementBom("com.example.custom-bom:1.0.0")
The preceding declaration picks up custom-bom-1.0.0.pom
in a Maven repository under
com/example/custom-versions/1.0.0/
.
When you specify multiple BOMs, they are applied in the order in which you declare them, as shown in the following example:
@DependencyManagementBom(["com.example.custom-bom:1.0.0", "com.example.another-bom:1.0.0"])
The preceding example indicates that the dependency management in another-bom
overrides
the dependency management in custom-bom
.
You can use @DependencyManagementBom
anywhere that you can use @Grab
. However, to
ensure consistent ordering of the dependency management, you can use
@DependencyManagementBom
at most once in your application. A useful source of dependency
management (which is a superset of Spring Boot’s dependency management) is the
Spring IO Platform, which you might include with the following
line:
@DependencyManagementBom('io.spring.platform:platform-bom:1.1.2.RELEASE')
You can use “shell globbing” with all commands that accept file input. Doing so lets you use multiple files from a single directory, as shown in the following example:
$ spring run *.groovy
You can use the jar
command to package your application into a self-contained executable
jar file, as shown in the following example:
$ spring jar my-app.jar *.groovy
The resulting jar contains the classes produced by compiling the application and all of
the application’s dependencies so that it can then be run by using java -jar
. The jar
file also contains entries from the application’s classpath. You can add and remove
explicit paths to the jar by using --include
and --exclude
. Both are comma-separated,
and both accept prefixes, in the form of “+” and “-”, to signify that they should be
removed from the defaults. The default includes are as follows:
public/**, resources/**, static/**, templates/**, META-INF/**, *
The default excludes are as follows:
.*, repository/**, build/**, target/**, **/*.jar, **/*.groovy
Type spring help jar
on the command line for more information.
The init
command lets you create a new project by using start.spring.io without
leaving the shell, as shown in the following example:
$ spring init --dependencies=web,data-jpa my-project Using service at https://start.spring.io Project extracted to '/Users/developer/example/my-project'
The preceding example creates a my-project
directory with a Maven-based project that
uses spring-boot-starter-web
and spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
. You can list the
capabilities of the service by using the --list
flag, as shown in the following example:
$ spring init --list ======================================= Capabilities of https://start.spring.io ======================================= Available dependencies: ----------------------- actuator - Actuator: Production ready features to help you monitor and manage your application ... web - Web: Support for full-stack web development, including Tomcat and spring-webmvc websocket - Websocket: Support for WebSocket development ws - WS: Support for Spring Web Services Available project types: ------------------------ gradle-build - Gradle Config [format:build, build:gradle] gradle-project - Gradle Project [format:project, build:gradle] maven-build - Maven POM [format:build, build:maven] maven-project - Maven Project [format:project, build:maven] (default) ...
The init
command supports many options. See the help
output for more details. For
instance, the following command creates a Gradle project that uses Java 8 and war
packaging:
$ spring init --build=gradle --java-version=1.8 --dependencies=websocket --packaging=war sample-app.zip Using service at https://start.spring.io Content saved to 'sample-app.zip'
Spring Boot includes command-line completion scripts for the BASH and zsh shells. If you
do not use either of these shells (perhaps you are a Windows user), you can use the
shell
command to launch an integrated shell, as shown in the following example:
$ spring shell
Spring Boot (v2.0.2.RELEASE)
Hit TAB to complete. Type \'help' and hit RETURN for help, and \'exit' to quit.
From inside the embedded shell, you can run other commands directly:
$ version Spring CLI v2.0.2.RELEASE
The embedded shell supports ANSI color output as well as tab
completion. If you need to
run a native command, you can use the !
prefix. To exit the embedded shell, press
ctrl-c
.
You can add extensions to the CLI by using the install
command. The command takes one
or more sets of artifact coordinates in the format group:artifact:version
, as shown in
the following example:
$ spring install com.example:spring-boot-cli-extension:1.0.0.RELEASE
In addition to installing the artifacts identified by the coordinates you supply, all of the artifacts' dependencies are also installed.
To uninstall a dependency, use the uninstall
command. As with the install
command, it
takes one or more sets of artifact coordinates in the format of group:artifact:version
,
as shown in the following example:
$ spring uninstall com.example:spring-boot-cli-extension:1.0.0.RELEASE
It uninstalls the artifacts identified by the coordinates you supply and their dependencies.
To uninstall all additional dependencies, you can use the --all
option, as shown in the
following example:
$ spring uninstall --all
Spring Framework 4.0 has native support for a beans{}
“DSL” (borrowed from
Grails), and you can embed bean definitions in your Groovy application
scripts by using the same format. This is sometimes a good way to include external
features like middleware declarations, as shown in the following example:
@Configuration class Application implements CommandLineRunner { @Autowired SharedService service @Override void run(String... args) { println service.message } } import my.company.SharedService beans { service(SharedService) { message = "Hello World" } }
You can mix class declarations with beans{}
in the same file as long as they stay at
the top level, or, if you prefer, you can put the beans DSL in a separate file.
The Spring Boot CLI uses Aether, Maven’s dependency resolution engine, to resolve
dependencies. The CLI makes use of the Maven configuration found in ~/.m2/settings.xml
to configure Aether. The following configuration settings are honored by the CLI:
Profiles
See Maven’s settings documentation for further information.
There are some sample groovy scripts available from the GitHub repository that you can use to try out the Spring Boot CLI. There is also extensive Javadoc throughout the source code.
If you find that you reach the limit of the CLI tool, you probably want to look at converting your application to a full Gradle or Maven built “Groovy project”. The next section covers Spring Boot’s "Build tool plugins", which you can use with Gradle or Maven.
Spring Boot provides build tool plugins for Maven and Gradle. The plugins offer a variety of features, including the packaging of executable jars. This section provides more details on both plugins as well as some help should you need to extend an unsupported build system. If you are just getting started, you might want to read “Chapter 13, Build Systems” from the “Part III, “Using Spring Boot”” section first.
The Spring Boot Maven Plugin provides Spring Boot support in Maven, letting you package executable jar or war archives and run an application “in-place”. To use it, you must use Maven 3.2 (or later).
![]() | Note |
---|---|
See the Spring Boot Maven Plugin Site for complete plugin documentation. |
To use the Spring Boot Maven Plugin, include the appropriate XML in the plugins
section of your pom.xml
, as shown in the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <!-- ... --> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>repackage</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
The preceding configuration repackages a jar or war that is built during the package
phase of the Maven lifecycle. The following example shows both the repackaged jar as well
as the original jar in the target
directory:
$ mvn package $ ls target/*.jar target/myproject-1.0.0.jar target/myproject-1.0.0.jar.original
If you do not include the <execution/>
configuration, as shown in the prior example, you
can run the plugin on its own (but only if the package goal is used as well), as shown in
the following example:
$ mvn package spring-boot:repackage $ ls target/*.jar target/myproject-1.0.0.jar target/myproject-1.0.0.jar.original
If you use a milestone or snapshot release, you also need to add the appropriate
pluginRepository
elements, as shown in the following listing:
<pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>spring-snapshots</id> <url>https://repo.spring.io/snapshot</url> </pluginRepository> <pluginRepository> <id>spring-milestones</id> <url>https://repo.spring.io/milestone</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories>
Once spring-boot-maven-plugin
has been included in your pom.xml
, it automatically
tries to rewrite archives to make them executable by using the spring-boot:repackage
goal. You should configure your project to build a jar or war (as appropriate) by using
the usual packaging
element, as shown in the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <!-- ... --> <packaging>jar</packaging> <!-- ... --> </project>
Your existing archive is enhanced by Spring Boot during the package
phase. The main
class that you want to launch can be specified either by using a configuration option or
by adding a Main-Class
attribute to the manifest in the usual way. If you do not specify
a main class, the plugin searches for a class with a
public static void main(String[] args)
method.
To build and run a project artifact, you can type the following:
$ mvn package $ java -jar target/mymodule-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
To build a war file that is both executable and deployable into an external container, you need to mark the embedded container dependencies as “provided”, as shown in the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <!-- ... --> <packaging>war</packaging> <!-- ... --> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <!-- ... --> </dependencies> </project>

The Spring Boot Gradle Plugin provides Spring Boot support in Gradle, letting you package
executable jar or war archives, run Spring Boot applications, and use the dependency
management provided by spring-boot-dependencies
. It requires Gradle 4.0 or later. Please
refer to the plugin’s documentation to learn more:
The Spring Boot AntLib module provides basic Spring Boot support for Apache Ant. You can
use the module to create executable jars. To use the module, you need to declare an
additional spring-boot
namespace in your build.xml
, as shown in the following example:
<project xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant" xmlns:spring-boot="antlib:org.springframework.boot.ant" name="myapp" default="build"> ... </project>
You need to remember to start Ant using the -lib
option, as shown in the following

Once the spring-boot-antlib
namespace has been declared, the following additional tasks

---|---|
| One or more Resource Collections describing a set of Resources that should be added to the content of the created jar file. |
| One or more Resource Collections that should be added to the set of jar libraries that make up the runtime dependency classpath of the application. |
This section shows two examples of Ant tasks.
Specify start-class.

Detect start-class.
<exejar destfile="target/my-application.jar" classes="target/classes"> <lib> <fileset dir="lib" /> </lib> </exejar>
The findmainclass
task is used internally by exejar
to locate a class declaring a
main
. If necessary, you can also use this task directly in your build. The following
attributes are supported:
Attribute | Description | Required |
---|---|---|
| The root directory of Java class files | Yes (unless |

Find and set.
<findmainclass classesroot="target/classes" property="main-class" />
Override and set.
<findmainclass mainclass="com.example.MainClass" property="main-class" />
If you want to use a build tool other than Maven, Gradle, or Ant, you likely need to develop your own plugin. Executable jars need to follow a specific format and certain entries need to be written in an uncompressed form (see the “executable jar format” section in the appendix for details).
The Spring Boot Maven and Gradle plugins both make use of spring-boot-loader-tools
to
actually generate jars. If you need to, you may use this library directly.
To repackage an existing archive so that it becomes a self-contained executable archive,
use org.springframework.boot.loader.tools.Repackager
. The Repackager
class takes a
single constructor argument that refers to an existing jar or war archive. Use one of the
two available repackage()
methods to either replace the original file or write to a new
destination. Various settings can also be configured on the repackager before it is run.
When repackaging an archive, you can include references to dependency files by using the
org.springframework.boot.loader.tools.Libraries
interface. We do not provide any
concrete implementations of Libraries
here as they are usually build-system-specific.
If your archive already includes libraries, you can use Libraries.NONE
.
If you do not use Repackager.setMainClass()
to specify a main class, the repackager
uses ASM to read class files and tries to find a suitable class with
a public static void main(String[] args)
method. An exception is thrown if more than one
candidate is found.
The following example shows a typical repackage implementation:
Repackager repackager = new Repackager(sourceJarFile); repackager.setBackupSource(false); repackager.repackage(new Libraries() { @Override public void doWithLibraries(LibraryCallback callback) throws IOException { // Build system specific implementation, callback for each dependency // callback.library(new Library(nestedFile, LibraryScope.COMPILE)); } });
If you are interested in how the build tool plugins work, you can
look at the spring-boot-tools
module on GitHub. More technical details of the executable jar format are covered in
the appendix.
If you have specific build-related questions, you can check out the “how-to” guides.
This section provides answers to some common ‘how do I do that…’ questions that often arise when using Spring Boot. Its coverage is not exhaustive, but it does cover quite a lot.
If you have a specific problem that we do not cover here, you might want to check out

already provided an answer. This is also a great place to ask new questions (please use

This section includes topics relating directly to Spring Boot applications.
FailureAnalyzer
is a great way
to intercept an exception on startup and turn it into a human-readable message, wrapped
in a FailureAnalysis
. Spring
Boot provides such an analyzer for application-context-related exceptions, JSR-303
validations, and more. You can also create your own.
AbstractFailureAnalyzer
is a convenient extension of FailureAnalyzer
that checks the
presence of a specified exception type in the exception to handle. You can extend from
that so that your implementation gets a chance to handle the exception only when it is
actually present. If, for whatever reason, you cannot handle the exception, return null
to give another implementation a chance to handle the exception.
FailureAnalyzer
implementations must be registered in META-INF/spring.factories
.

The Spring Boot auto-configuration tries its best to “do the right thing”, but sometimes things fail, and it can be hard to tell why.
There is a really useful ConditionEvaluationReport
available in any Spring Boot
ApplicationContext
. You can see it if you enable DEBUG
logging output. If you use
the spring-boot-actuator
(see the Actuator chapter),
there is also a conditions
endpoint that renders the report in JSON. Use that endpoint
to debug the application and see what features have been added (and which have not been
added) by Spring Boot at runtime.
Many more questions can be answered by looking at the source code and the Javadoc. When reading the code, remember the following rules of thumb:
*AutoConfiguration

attention to the @Conditional*
annotations to find out what features they enable and
when. Add --debug
to the command line or a System property -Ddebug
to get a log on the
console of all the auto-configuration decisions that were made in your app. In a running
Actuator app, look at the conditions
endpoint (/actuator/conditions
or the JMX
equivalent) for the same information.@ConfigurationProperties
(such as
ServerProperties
)
and read from there the available external configuration options. The
@ConfigurationProperties
annotation has a name
attribute that acts as a prefix to
external properties. Thus, ServerProperties
has prefix="server"
and its configuration
properties are server.port
, server.address
, and others. In a running Actuator app,
look at the configprops
endpoint.bind
method on the Binder
to pull configuration values
explicitly out of the Environment
in a relaxed manner. It is often used with a prefix.@Value
annotations that bind directly to the Environment
.@ConditionalOnExpression
annotations that switch features on and off in
response to SpEL expressions, normally evaluated with placeholders resolved from the
Environment
.A SpringApplication
has ApplicationListeners
and ApplicationContextInitializers
that
are used to apply customizations to the context or environment. Spring Boot loads a number
of such customizations for use internally from META-INF/spring.factories
. There is more
than one way to register additional customizations:
addListeners
and addInitializers
methods on SpringApplication
before you run it.context.initializer.classes
or
context.listener.classes
properties.META-INF/spring.factories
and packaging
a jar file that the applications all use as a library.The SpringApplication
sends some special ApplicationEvents
to the listeners (some
even before the context is created) and then registers the listeners for events published
by the ApplicationContext
as well. See
“Section 23.5, “Application Events and Listeners”” in the
‘Spring Boot features’ section for a complete list.
It is also possible to customize the Environment
before the application context is
refreshed by using EnvironmentPostProcessor
. Each implementation should be registered in
META-INF/spring.factories
, as shown in the following example:
org.springframework.boot.env.EnvironmentPostProcessor=com.example.YourEnvironmentPostProcessor
The implementation can load arbitrary files and add them to the Environment
. For
instance, the following example loads a YAML configuration file from the classpath:
public class EnvironmentPostProcessorExample implements EnvironmentPostProcessor { private final YamlPropertySourceLoader loader = new YamlPropertySourceLoader(); @Override public void postProcessEnvironment(ConfigurableEnvironment environment, SpringApplication application) { Resource path = new ClassPathResource("com/example/myapp/config.yml"); PropertySource<?> propertySource = loadYaml(path); environment.getPropertySources().addLast(propertySource); } private PropertySource<?> loadYaml(Resource path) { if (!path.exists()) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Resource " + path + " does not exist"); } try { return this.loader.load("custom-resource", path).get(0); } catch (IOException ex) { throw new IllegalStateException( "Failed to load yaml configuration from " + path, ex); } } }

You can use the ApplicationBuilder
class to create parent/child ApplicationContext
hierarchies. See “Section 23.4, “Fluent Builder API””
in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section for more information.
Not all Spring applications have to be web applications (or web services). If you want to
execute some code in a main
method but also bootstrap a Spring application to set up
the infrastructure to use, you can use the SpringApplication
features of Spring
Boot. A SpringApplication
changes its ApplicationContext
class, depending on whether
it thinks it needs a web application or not. The first thing you can do to help it is to
leave server-related dependencies (e.g. servlet API) off the classpath. If you cannot do
that (for example, you run two applications from the same code base) then you can
explicitly call setWebApplicationType(WebApplicationType.NONE)
on your
SpringApplication
instance or set the applicationContextClass
property (through the
Java API or with external properties). Application code that you want to run as your
business logic can be implemented as a CommandLineRunner
and dropped into the context as
a @Bean
definition.
This section includes topics about setting and reading properties and configuration settings and their interaction with Spring Boot applications.
Rather than hardcoding some properties that are also specified in your project’s build configuration, you can automatically expand them by instead using the existing build configuration. This is possible in both Maven and Gradle.
You can automatically expand properties from the Maven project by using resource
filtering. If you use the spring-boot-starter-parent
, you can then refer to your
Maven ‘project properties’ with @..@
placeholders, as shown in the following example:

A SpringApplication
has bean properties (mainly setters), so you can use its Java API as
you create the application to modify its behavior. Alternatively, you can externalize the
configuration by setting properties in spring.main.*
. For example, in
application.properties
, you might have the following settings:
spring.main.web-application-type=none spring.main.banner-mode=off
Then the Spring Boot banner is not printed on startup, and the application is not starting an embedded web server.
Properties defined in external configuration override the values specified with the Java
API, with the notable exception of the sources used to create the ApplicationContext
.
Consider the following application:
new SpringApplicationBuilder() .bannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF) .sources(demo.MyApp.class) .run(args);
Now consider the following configuration:
spring.main.sources=com.acme.Config,com.acme.ExtraConfig spring.main.banner-mode=console
The actual application now shows the banner (as overridden by configuration) and uses
three sources for the ApplicationContext
(in the following order): demo.MyApp
,
com.acme.Config
, and com.acme.ExtraConfig
.
By default, properties from different sources are added to the Spring Environment
in a
defined order (see “Chapter 24, Externalized Configuration” in
the ‘Spring Boot features’ section for the exact order).
A nice way to augment and modify this ordering is to add @PropertySource
annotations to your
application sources. Classes passed to the SpringApplication
static convenience
methods and those added using setSources()
are inspected to see if they have
@PropertySources
. If they do, those properties are added to the Environment
early
enough to be used in all phases of the ApplicationContext
lifecycle. Properties added
in this way have lower priority than any added by using the default locations (such as
application.properties
), system properties, environment variables, or the command line.
You can also provide the following System properties (or environment variables) to change the behavior:
spring.config.name
(SPRING_CONFIG_NAME
): Defaults to application
as the root of
the file name.spring.config.location
(SPRING_CONFIG_LOCATION
): The file to load (such as a
classpath resource or a URL). A separate Environment
property source is set up for this
document and it can be overridden by system properties, environment variables, or the
command line.No matter what you set in the environment, Spring Boot always loads
application.properties
as described above. By default, if YAML is used, then files with
the ‘.yml’ extension are also added to the list.
Spring Boot logs the configuration files that are loaded at the DEBUG
level and the
candidates it has not found at TRACE
level.
See ConfigFileApplicationListener
for more detail.
Some people like to use (for example) --port=9000
instead of --server.port=9000
to
set configuration properties on the command line. You can enable this behavior by using
placeholders in application.properties
, as shown in the following example:
server.port=${port:8080}

In this specific case, the port binding works in a PaaS environment such as Heroku
or Cloud Foundry. In those two platforms, the |
YAML is a superset of JSON and, as such, is a convenient syntax for storing external properties in a hierarchical format, as shown in the following example:
spring: application: name: cruncher datasource: driverClassName: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver url: jdbc:mysql://localhost/test server: port: 9000
Create a file called application.yml
and put it in the root of your classpath.
Then add snakeyaml
to your dependencies (Maven coordinates org.yaml:snakeyaml
, already
included if you use the spring-boot-starter
). A YAML file is parsed to a Java
Map<String,Object>
(like a JSON object), and Spring Boot flattens the map so that it
is one level deep and has period-separated keys, as many people are used to with
Properties
files in Java.
The preceding example YAML corresponds to the following application.properties
file:
spring.application.name=cruncher spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test server.port=9000
See “Section 24.6, “Using YAML Instead of Properties”” in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section for more information about YAML.
The Spring Environment
has an API for this, but you would normally set a System property
(spring.profiles.active
) or an OS environment variable (SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE
).
Also, you can launch your application with a -D
argument (remember to put it before the
main class or jar archive), as follows:
$ java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=production demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
In Spring Boot, you can also set the active profile in application.properties
, as shown
in the following example:
spring.profiles.active=production
A value set this way is replaced by the System property or environment variable setting
but not by the SpringApplicationBuilder.profiles()
method. Thus, the latter Java API can
be used to augment the profiles without changing the defaults.
See “Chapter 25, Profiles” in the “Spring Boot features” section for more information.
A YAML file is actually a sequence of documents separated by ---
lines, and each
document is parsed separately to a flattened map.
If a YAML document contains a spring.profiles
key, then the profiles value
(a comma-separated list of profiles) is fed into the Spring
Environment.acceptsProfiles()
method. If any of those profiles is active, that document
is included in the final merge (otherwise, it is not), as shown in the following example:
server: port: 9000 --- spring: profiles: development server: port: 9001 --- spring: profiles: production server: port: 0
In the preceding example, the default port is 9000. However, if the Spring profile called ‘development’ is active, then the port is 9001. If ‘production’ is active, then the port is 0.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
The YAML documents are merged in the order in which they are encountered. Later values override earlier values. |
To do the same thing with properties files, you can use
application-${profile}.properties
to specify profile-specific values.
Spring Boot binds external properties from application.properties
(or .yml
files and
other places) into an application at runtime. There is not (and technically cannot be) an
exhaustive list of all supported properties in a single location, because contributions
can come from additional jar files on your classpath.
A running application with the Actuator features has a configprops
endpoint that shows
all the bound and bindable properties available through @ConfigurationProperties
.
The appendix includes an application.properties
example with a list of the most common properties supported by
Spring Boot. The definitive list comes from searching the source code for
@ConfigurationProperties
and @Value
annotations as well as the occasional use of
Binder
. For more about the exact ordering of loading properties, see
"Chapter 24, Externalized Configuration".
Each Spring Boot web application includes an embedded web server. This feature leads to a number of how-to questions, including how to change the embedded server and how to configure the embedded server. This section answers those questions.
Many Spring Boot starters include default embedded containers. spring-boot-starter-web
includes Tomcat by including spring-boot-starter-tomcat
, but you can use
spring-boot-starter-jetty
or spring-boot-starter-undertow
instead.
spring-boot-starter-webflux
includes Reactor Netty by including
spring-boot-starter-reactor-netty
, but you can use spring-boot-starter-tomcat
,
spring-boot-starter-jetty
, or spring-boot-starter-undertow
instead.
If you need to use a different HTTP server, you need to exclude the default dependencies and include the one you need. Spring Boot provides separate starters for HTTP servers to help make this process as easy as possible.
The following Maven example shows how to exclude Tomcat and include Jetty for Spring MVC:
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> <exclusions> <!-- Exclude the Tomcat dependency --> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <!-- Use Jetty instead --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId> </dependency>
The following Gradle example shows how to exclude Netty and include Undertow for Spring WebFlux:
configurations { // exclude Reactor Netty compile.exclude module: 'spring-boot-starter-reactor-netty' } dependencies { compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux' // Use Undertow instead compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-undertow' // ... }
![]() | Note |
---|---|
|
If your classpath contains the necessary bits to start a web server, Spring Boot will
automatically start it. To disable this behaviour configure the WebApplicationType
in
your application.properties
, as shown in the following example:
spring.main.web-application-type=none
Generally, you can follow the advice from
“Section 74.8, “Discover Built-in Options for External Properties”” about
@ConfigurationProperties
(ServerProperties
is the main one here). However, you should
also look at
WebServerFactoryCustomizer
.
The Jetty APIs are quite rich, so, once you have access to the
JettyServletWebServerFactory
, you can modify it in a number of ways. Alternatively, if
you need more control and customization, you can add your own
JettyServletWebServerFactory
.
There are two ways to add Servlet
, Filter
, ServletContextListener
, and the other
listeners supported by the Servlet spec to your application:
To add a Servlet
, Filter
, or Servlet *Listener
by using a Spring bean, you must
provide a @Bean
definition for it. Doing so can be very useful when you want to inject
configuration or dependencies. However, you must be very careful that they do not cause
eager initialization of too many other beans, because they have to be installed in the
container very early in the application lifecycle. (For example, it is not a good idea to
have them depend on your DataSource
or JPA configuration.) You can work around such
restrictions by initializing the beans lazily when first used instead of on
initialization.
In the case of Filters
and Servlets
, you can also add mappings and init parameters by
adding a FilterRegistrationBean
or a ServletRegistrationBean
instead of or in
addition to the underlying component.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If no |
Like any other Spring bean, you can define the order of Servlet filter beans; please make sure to check the “the section called “Registering Servlets, Filters, and Listeners as Spring Beans”” section.
As described earlier, any
Servlet
or Filter
beans are registered with the servlet container automatically. To
disable registration of a particular Filter
or Servlet
bean, create a registration
bean for it and mark it as disabled, as shown in the following example:
@Bean public FilterRegistrationBean registration(MyFilter filter) { FilterRegistrationBean registration = new FilterRegistrationBean(filter); registration.setEnabled(false); return registration; }
@WebServlet
, @WebFilter
, and @WebListener
annotated classes can be automatically
registered with an embedded servlet container by annotating a @Configuration
class
with @ServletComponentScan
and specifying the package(s) containing the components
that you want to register. By default, @ServletComponentScan
scans from the package
of the annotated class.
In a standalone application, the main HTTP port defaults to 8080
but can be set with
server.port
(for example, in application.properties
or as a System property). Thanks
to relaxed binding of Environment
values, you can also use SERVER_PORT
(for example,
as an OS environment variable).
To switch off the HTTP endpoints completely but still create a WebApplicationContext
,
use server.port=-1
. (Doing so is sometimes useful for testing.)
For more details, see
“Section 27.4.4, “Customizing Embedded Servlet Containers””
in the ‘Spring Boot features’ section, or the
ServerProperties
source
code.
To scan for a free port (using OS natives to prevent clashes) use server.port=0
.
You can access the port the server is running on from log output or from the
ServletWebServerApplicationContext
through its WebServer
. The best way to get that and
be sure that it has been initialized is to add a @Bean
of type
ApplicationListener<ServletWebServerInitializedEvent>
and pull the container
out of the event when it is published.
Tests that use @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
can
also inject the actual port into a field by using the @LocalServerPort
annotation, as
shown in the following example:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment=WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) public class MyWebIntegrationTests { @Autowired ServletWebServerApplicationContext server; @LocalServerPort int port; // ... }

SSL can be configured declaratively by setting the various server.ssl.*
properties,
typically in application.properties
or application.yml
. The following example shows
setting SSL properties in application.properties
:
server.port=8443 server.ssl.key-store=classpath:keystore.jks server.ssl.key-store-password=secret server.ssl.key-password=another-secret
See Ssl
for details of all of the
supported properties.
Using configuration such as the preceding example means the application no longer supports
a plain HTTP connector at port 8080. Spring Boot does not support the configuration of
both an HTTP connector and an HTTPS connector through application.properties
. If you
want to have both, you need to configure one of them programmatically. We recommend using
application.properties
to configure HTTPS, as the HTTP connector is the easier of the
two to configure programmatically. See the
spring-boot-sample-tomcat-multi-connectors
sample project for an example.
You can enable HTTP/2 support in your Spring Boot application with the
server.http2.enabled
configuration property. This support depends on the chosen web
server and the application environment, since that protocol is not supported
out-of-the-box by JDK8.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Spring Boot does not support |
As of Undertow 1.4.0+, HTTP/2 is supported without any additional requirement on JDK8.
As of Jetty 9.4.8, HTTP/2 is also supported with the
Conscrypt library.
To enable that support, your application needs to have two additional dependencies:
org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-alpn-conscrypt-server
and org.eclipse.jetty.http2:http2-server
.
Spring Boot ships by default with Tomcat 8.5.x. With that version, HTTP/2 is only
supported if the libtcnative
library and its dependencies are installed on the host
operating system.
The library folder must be made available, if not already, to the JVM library path. You
can do so with a JVM argument such as
-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/opt/tomcat-native/lib
. More on this in the
official Tomcat documentation.
Starting Tomcat 8.5.x without that native support logs the following error:
ERROR 8787 --- [ main] o.a.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol : The upgrade handler [org.apache.coyote.http2.Http2Protocol] for [h2] only supports upgrade via ALPN but has been configured for the ["https-jsse-nio-8443"] connector that does not support ALPN.
This error is not fatal, and the application still starts with HTTP/1.1 SSL support.
Running your application with Tomcat 9.0.x and JDK9 does not require any native library to
be installed. To use Tomcat 9, you can override the tomcat.version
build property with
the version of your choice.
Access logs can be configured for Tomcat, Undertow, and Jetty through their respective namespaces.
For instance, the following settings log access on Tomcat with a custom pattern.
server.tomcat.basedir=my-tomcat server.tomcat.accesslog.enabled=true server.tomcat.accesslog.pattern=%t %a "%r" %s (%D ms)
![]() | Note |

Access logging for Undertow can be configured in a similar fashion, as shown in the following example:
server.undertow.accesslog.enabled=true server.undertow.accesslog.pattern=%t %a "%r" %s (%D ms)
Logs are stored in a logs
directory relative to the working directory of the
application. You can customize this location by setting the
server.undertow.accesslog.directory
property.
Finally, access logging for Jetty can also be configured as follows:
server.jetty.accesslog.enabled=true server.jetty.accesslog.filename=/var/log/jetty-access.log
By default, logs are redirected to System.err
. For more details, see
the Jetty documentation.
Your application might need to send 302
redirects or render content with absolute links
back to itself. When running behind a proxy, the caller wants a link to the proxy and not
to the physical address of the machine hosting your app. Typically, such situations are
handled through a contract with the proxy, which adds headers to tell the back end how to
construct links to itself.
If the proxy adds conventional X-Forwarded-For
and X-Forwarded-Proto
headers (most
proxy servers do so), the absolute links should be rendered correctly, provided
server.use-forward-headers
is set to true
in your application.properties
.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If your application runs in Cloud Foundry or Heroku, the

If you use Tomcat, you can additionally configure the names of the headers used to carry “forwarded” information, as shown in the following example:
server.tomcat.remote-ip-header=x-your-remote-ip-header server.tomcat.protocol-header=x-your-protocol-header
Tomcat is also configured with a default regular expression that matches internal
proxies that are to be trusted. By default, IP addresses in 10/8
, 192.168/16
,
169.254/16
and 127/8
are trusted. You can customize the valve’s configuration by
adding an entry to application.properties
, as shown in the following example:
server.tomcat.internal-proxies=192\\.168\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}

You can take complete control of the configuration of Tomcat’s RemoteIpValve
by
switching the automatic one off (to do so, set server.use-forward-headers=false
) and
adding a new valve instance in a TomcatServletWebServerFactory
bean.
Generally, you can follow the advice from
“Section 74.8, “Discover Built-in Options for External Properties”” about
@ConfigurationProperties
(ServerProperties
is the main one here). However, you should
also look at WebServerFactoryCustomizer
and various Tomcat-specific
*Customizers
that you can add. The Tomcat APIs are quite rich. Consequently, once you
have access to the TomcatServletWebServerFactory
, you can modify it in a number of ways.
Alternatively, if you need more control and customization, you can add your own
TomcatServletWebServerFactory
.
You can add an org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector
to the
TomcatServletWebServerFactory
, which can allow multiple connectors, including HTTP and
HTTPS connectors, as shown in the following example:
@Bean public ServletWebServerFactory servletContainer() { TomcatServletWebServerFactory tomcat = new TomcatServletWebServerFactory(); tomcat.addAdditionalTomcatConnectors(createSslConnector()); return tomcat; } private Connector createSslConnector() { Connector connector = new Connector("org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"); Http11NioProtocol protocol = (Http11NioProtocol) connector.getProtocolHandler(); try { File keystore = new ClassPathResource("keystore").getFile(); File truststore = new ClassPathResource("keystore").getFile(); connector.setScheme("https"); connector.setSecure(true); connector.setPort(8443); protocol.setSSLEnabled(true); protocol.setKeystoreFile(keystore.getAbsolutePath()); protocol.setKeystorePass("changeit"); protocol.setTruststoreFile(truststore.getAbsolutePath()); protocol.setTruststorePass("changeit"); protocol.setKeyAlias("apitester"); return connector; } catch (IOException ex) { throw new IllegalStateException("can't access keystore: [" + "keystore" + "] or truststore: [" + "keystore" + "]", ex); } }
By default, the embedded Tomcat used by Spring Boot does not support "Version 0" of the Cookie format, so you may see the following error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An invalid character [32] was present in the Cookie value
If at all possible, you should consider updating your code to only store values
compliant with later Cookie specifications. If, however, you cannot change the
way that cookies are written, you can instead configure Tomcat to use a
LegacyCookieProcessor
. To switch to the LegacyCookieProcessor
, use an
WebServerFactoryCustomizer
bean that adds a TomcatContextCustomizer
, as shown
in the following example:
@Bean public WebServerFactoryCustomizer<TomcatServletWebServerFactory> cookieProcessorCustomizer() { return (factory) -> factory.addContextCustomizers( (context) -> context.setCookieProcessor(new LegacyCookieProcessor())); }
Generally you can follow the advice from
“Section 74.8, “Discover Built-in Options for External Properties”” about
@ConfigurationProperties
(ServerProperties
and ServerProperties.Undertow
are the
main ones here). However, you should also look at WebServerFactoryCustomizer
.
Once you have access to the UndertowServletWebServerFactory
, you can use an
UndertowBuilderCustomizer
to modify Undertow’s configuration to meet your needs.
Alternatively, if you need more control and customization, you can add your own
UndertowServletWebServerFactory
.
Add an UndertowBuilderCustomizer
to the UndertowServletWebServerFactory
and
add a listener to the Builder
, as shown in the following example:
@Bean public UndertowServletWebServerFactory servletWebServerFactory() { UndertowServletWebServerFactory factory = new UndertowServletWebServerFactory(); factory.addBuilderCustomizers(new UndertowBuilderCustomizer() { @Override public void customize(Builder builder) { builder.addHttpListener(8080, "0.0.0.0"); } }); return factory; }
If you want to use @ServerEndpoint
in a Spring Boot application that used an embedded
container, you must declare a single ServerEndpointExporter
@Bean
, as shown in the
following example:
@Bean public ServerEndpointExporter serverEndpointExporter() { return new ServerEndpointExporter(); }
The bean shown in the preceding example registers any @ServerEndpoint
annotated beans
with the underlying WebSocket container. When deployed to a standalone servlet container,
this role is performed by a servlet container initializer, and the
ServerEndpointExporter
bean is not required.
HTTP response compression is supported by Jetty, Tomcat, and Undertow. It can be enabled
in application.properties
, as follows:
server.compression.enabled=true
By default, responses must be at least 2048 bytes in length for compression to be
performed. You can configure this behavior by setting the
server.compression.min-response-size
property.
By default, responses are compressed only if their content type is one of the following:
text/html
text/xml
text/plain
text/css
You can configure this behavior by setting the server.compression.mime-types
property.
Spring Boot has a number of starters that include Spring MVC. Note that some starters include a dependency on Spring MVC rather than include it directly. This section answers common questions about Spring MVC and Spring Boot.
Any Spring @RestController
in a Spring Boot application should render JSON response by
default as long as Jackson2 is on the classpath, as shown in the following example:
@RestController public class MyController { @RequestMapping("/thing") public MyThing thing() { return new MyThing(); } }
As long as MyThing
can be serialized by Jackson2 (true for a normal POJO or Groovy
object), then localhost:8080/thing
serves a JSON representation of it by
default. Note that, in a browser, you might sometimes see XML responses, because browsers
tend to send accept headers that prefer XML.
If you have the Jackson XML extension (jackson-dataformat-xml
) on the classpath, you
can use it to render XML responses. The previous example that we used for JSON would
work. To use the Jackson XML renderer, add the following dependency to your project:
<dependency> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId> <artifactId>jackson-dataformat-xml</artifactId> </dependency>
You may also want to add a dependency on Woodstox. It is faster than the default StAX implementation provided by the JDK and also adds pretty-print support and improved namespace handling. The following listing shows how to include a dependency on Woodstox:
<dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.woodstox</groupId> <artifactId>woodstox-core-asl</artifactId> </dependency>
If Jackson’s XML extension is not available, JAXB (provided by default in the JDK) is
used, with the additional requirement of having MyThing
annotated as
@XmlRootElement
, as shown in the following example:
@XmlRootElement public class MyThing { private String name; // .. getters and setters }
To get the server to render XML instead of JSON, you might have to send an
Accept: text/xml
header (or use a browser).
Spring MVC (client and server side) uses HttpMessageConverters
to negotiate content
conversion in an HTTP exchange. If Jackson is on the classpath, you already get the
default converter(s) provided by Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
, an instance of which
is auto-configured for you.
The ObjectMapper
(or XmlMapper
for Jackson XML converter) instance (created by
default) has the following customized properties:
MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION
is disabledDeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES
is disabledSerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS
is disabledSpring Boot also has some features to make it easier to customize this behavior.
You can configure the ObjectMapper
and XmlMapper
instances by using the environment.
Jackson provides an extensive suite of simple on/off features that can be used to
configure various aspects of its processing. These features are described in six enums (in
Jackson) that map onto properties in the environment:
Jackson enum | Environment property |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, to enable pretty print, set spring.jackson.serialization.indent_output=true
.
Note that, thanks to the use of relaxed binding, the case of indent_output
does not have to match the case of the
corresponding enum constant, which is INDENT_OUTPUT
.
This environment-based configuration is applied to the auto-configured
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
bean and applies to any mappers created by
using the builder, including the auto-configured ObjectMapper
bean.
The context’s Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
can be customized by one or more
Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilderCustomizer
beans. Such customizer beans can be ordered
(Boot’s own customizer has an order of 0), letting additional customization be applied
both before and after Boot’s customization.
Any beans of type com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.Module
are automatically registered
with the auto-configured Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
and are applied to any ObjectMapper
instances that it creates. This provides a global mechanism for contributing custom
modules when you add new features to your application.
If you want to replace the default ObjectMapper
completely, either define a @Bean
of
that type and mark it as @Primary
or, if you prefer the builder-based
approach, define a Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder
@Bean
. Note that, in either case,
doing so disables all auto-configuration of the ObjectMapper
.
If you provide any @Beans
of type MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter
,
they replace the default value in the MVC configuration. Also, a convenience bean of type
HttpMessageConverters
is provided (and is always available if you use the default MVC
configuration). It has some useful methods to access the default and user-enhanced
message converters.
See the “Section 76.4, “Customize the @ResponseBody Rendering”” section and the
WebMvcAutoConfiguration
source code for more details.
Spring uses HttpMessageConverters
to render @ResponseBody
(or responses from
@RestController
). You can contribute additional converters by adding beans of the
appropriate type in a Spring Boot context. If a bean you add is of a type that would have
been included by default anyway (such as MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter
for JSON
conversions), it replaces the default value. A convenience bean of type
HttpMessageConverters
is provided and is always available if you use the default MVC
configuration. It has some useful methods to access the default and user-enhanced message
converters (For example, it can be useful if you want to manually inject them into a
custom RestTemplate
).
As in normal MVC usage, any WebMvcConfigurer
beans that you provide can also
contribute converters by overriding the configureMessageConverters
method. However, unlike
with normal MVC, you can supply only additional converters that you need (because Spring
Boot uses the same mechanism to contribute its defaults). Finally, if you opt out of the
Spring Boot default MVC configuration by providing your own @EnableWebMvc
configuration,
you can take control completely and do everything manually by using
getMessageConverters
from WebMvcConfigurationSupport
.
See the
WebMvcAutoConfiguration
source code for more details.
Spring Boot embraces the Servlet 3 javax.servlet.http.Part
API to support uploading
files. By default, Spring Boot configures Spring MVC with a maximum size of 1MB per
file and a maximum of 10MB of file data in a single request. You may override these
values, the location to which intermediate data is stored (for example, to the /tmp
directory), and the threshold past which data is flushed to disk by using the properties
exposed in the MultipartProperties
class. For example, if you want to specify that
files be unlimited, set the spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size
property to -1
.
The multipart support is helpful when you want to receive multipart encoded file data as
a @RequestParam
-annotated parameter of type MultipartFile
in a Spring MVC controller
handler method.
See the
MultipartAutoConfiguration
source for more details.
Spring Boot wants to serve all content from the root of your application (/
) down. If
you would rather map your own servlet to that URL, you can do it. However, you may lose
some of the other Boot MVC features. To add your own servlet and map it to the root
resource, declare a @Bean
of type Servlet
and give it the special bean name,
dispatcherServlet
. (You can also create a bean of a different type with that name if
you want to switch it off and not replace it.)
The easiest way to take complete control over MVC configuration is to provide your own
@Configuration
with the @EnableWebMvc
annotation. Doing so leaves all MVC
configuration in your hands.
A ViewResolver
is a core component of Spring MVC, translating view names in
@Controller
to actual View
implementations. Note that ViewResolvers
are mainly
used in UI applications, rather than REST-style services (a View
is not used to render
a @ResponseBody
). There are many implementations of ViewResolver
to choose from, and
Spring on its own is not opinionated about which ones you should use. Spring Boot, on the
other hand, installs one or two for you, depending on what it finds on the classpath and
in the application context. The DispatcherServlet
uses all the resolvers it finds in
the application context, trying each one in turn until it gets a result, so, if you
add your own, you have to be aware of the order and in which position your resolver is
added.
WebMvcAutoConfiguration
adds the following ViewResolvers
to your context:
InternalResourceViewResolver
named ‘defaultViewResolver’. This one locates
physical resources that can be rendered by using the DefaultServlet
(including static
resources and JSP pages, if you use those). It applies a prefix and a suffix to the
view name and then looks for a physical resource with that path in the servlet context
(the defaults are both empty but are accessible for external configuration through
spring.mvc.view.prefix
and spring.mvc.view.suffix
). You can override it by
providing a bean of the same type.BeanNameViewResolver
named ‘beanNameViewResolver’. This is a useful member of the
view resolver chain and picks up any beans with the same name as the View
being
resolved. It should not be necessary to override or replace it.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver
named ‘viewResolver’ is added only if there are
actually beans of type View
present. This is a ‘master’ resolver, delegating to all
the others and attempting to find a match to the ‘Accept’ HTTP header sent by the
client. There is a useful
blog about
ContentNegotiatingViewResolver
that you might like to study to learn more, and you
might also look at the source code for detail. You can switch off the auto-configured
ContentNegotiatingViewResolver
by defining a bean named ‘viewResolver’.ThymeleafViewResolver
named
‘thymeleafViewResolver’. It looks for resources by surrounding the view name with a
prefix and suffix. The prefix is spring.thymeleaf.prefix
, and the suffix is
spring.thymeleaf.suffix
. The values of the prefix and suffix default to
‘classpath:/templates/’ and ‘.html’, respectively. You can override
ThymeleafViewResolver
by providing a bean of the same name.FreeMarkerViewResolver
named
‘freeMarkerViewResolver’. It looks for resources in a loader path (which is
externalized to spring.freemarker.templateLoaderPath
and has a default value of
‘classpath:/templates/’) by surrounding the view name with a prefix and a suffix. The
prefix is externalized to spring.freemarker.prefix
, and the suffix is externalized to
spring.freemarker.suffix
. The default values of the prefix and suffix are empty and
‘.ftl’, respectively. You can override FreeMarkerViewResolver
by providing a bean
of the same name.groovy-templates
is on your classpath), you
also have a GroovyMarkupViewResolver
named ‘groovyMarkupViewResolver’. It looks for
resources in a loader path by surrounding the view name with a prefix and suffix
(externalized to spring.groovy.template.prefix
and spring.groovy.template.suffix
).
The prefix and suffix have default values of ‘classpath:/templates/’ and ‘.tpl’,
respectively. You can override GroovyMarkupViewResolver
by providing a bean of the
same name.For more detail, see the following sections:
Spring Boot offers a number of starters that work with HTTP clients. This section answers questions related to using them.
As described in Section 33.1, “RestTemplate Customization”,
you can use a RestTemplateCustomizer
with RestTemplateBuilder
to build a customized
RestTemplate
. This is the recommended approach for creating a RestTemplate
configured
to use a proxy.
The exact details of the proxy configuration depend on the underlying client request
factory that is being used. The following example configures
HttpComponentsClientRequestFactory
with an HttpClient
that uses a proxy for all hosts
except 192.168.0.5
:
static class ProxyCustomizer implements RestTemplateCustomizer { @Override public void customize(RestTemplate restTemplate) { HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("proxy.example.com"); HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create() .setRoutePlanner(new DefaultProxyRoutePlanner(proxy) { @Override public HttpHost determineProxy(HttpHost target, HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) throws HttpException { if (target.getHostName().equals("192.168.0.5")) { return null; } return super.determineProxy(target, request, context); } }).build(); restTemplate.setRequestFactory( new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient)); } }
Spring Boot has no mandatory logging dependency, except for the Commons Logging API, which
is typically provided by Spring Framework’s spring-jcl
module. To use
Logback, you need to include it and spring-jcl
on the classpath.
The simplest way to do that is through the starters, which all depend on
spring-boot-starter-logging
. For a web application, you need only
spring-boot-starter-web
, since it depends transitively on the logging starter. If you
use Maven, the following dependency adds logging for you:
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency>
Spring Boot has a LoggingSystem
abstraction that attempts to configure logging based on
the content of the classpath. If Logback is available, it is the first choice.
If the only change you need to make to logging is to set the levels of various loggers,
you can do so in application.properties
by using the "logging.level" prefix, as shown
in the following example:
logging.level.org.springframework.web=DEBUG logging.level.org.hibernate=ERROR
You can also set the location of a file to which to write the log (in addition to the console) by using "logging.file".
To configure the more fine-grained settings of a logging system, you need to use the native
configuration format supported by the LoggingSystem
in question. By default, Spring Boot
picks up the native configuration from its default location for the system (such as
classpath:logback.xml
for Logback), but you can set the location of the config file by
using the "logging.config" property.
If you put a logback.xml
in the root of your classpath, it is picked up from there (or
from logback-spring.xml
, to take advantage of the templating features provided by
Boot). Spring Boot provides a default base configuration that you can include if you
want to set levels, as shown in the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/base.xml"/> <logger name="org.springframework.web" level="DEBUG"/> </configuration>
If you look at base.xml
in the spring-boot jar, you can see that it uses
some useful System properties that the LoggingSystem
takes care of creating for you:
${PID}
: The current process ID.${LOG_FILE}
: Whether logging.file
was set in Boot’s external configuration.${LOG_PATH}
: Whether logging.path
(representing a directory for
log files to live in) was set in Boot’s external configuration.${LOG_EXCEPTION_CONVERSION_WORD}
: Whether logging.exception-conversion-word
was set
in Boot’s external configuration.Spring Boot also provides some nice ANSI color terminal output on a console (but not in
a log file) by using a custom Logback converter. See the default base.xml
configuration
for details.
If Groovy is on the classpath, you should be able to configure Logback with
logback.groovy
as well. If present, this setting is given preference.
If you want to disable console logging and write output only to a file, you need a custom
logback-spring.xml
that imports file-appender.xml
but not console-appender.xml
, as
shown in the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml" /> <property name="LOG_FILE" value="${LOG_FILE:-${LOG_PATH:-${LOG_TEMP:-${java.io.tmpdir:-/tmp}}/}spring.log}"/> <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/file-appender.xml" /> <root level="INFO"> <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> </root> </configuration>
You also need to add logging.file
to your application.properties
, as shown in the
following example:
logging.file=myapplication.log
Spring Boot supports Log4j 2 for logging
configuration if it is on the classpath. If you use the starters for
assembling dependencies, you have to exclude Logback and then include log4j 2
instead. If you do not use the starters, you need to provide (at least) spring-jcl
in
addition to Log4j 2.
The simplest path is probably through the starters, even though it requires some jiggling with excludes. The following example shows how to set up the starters in Maven:
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId> </dependency>

In addition to its default XML configuration format, Log4j 2 also supports YAML and JSON configuration files. To configure Log4j 2 to use an alternative configuration file format, add the appropriate dependencies to the classpath and name your configuration files to match your chosen file format, as shown in the following example:
Format | Dependencies | File names |

Spring Boot includes a number of starters for working with data sources. This section answers questions related to doing so.
To configure your own DataSource
, define a @Bean
of that type in your configuration.
Spring Boot reuses your DataSource
anywhere one is required, including database
initialization. If you need to externalize some settings, you can bind your
DataSource
to the environment (see
“Section 24.7.1, “Third-party Configuration””).
The following example shows how to define a data source in a bean:
@Bean @ConfigurationProperties(prefix="app.datasource") public DataSource dataSource() { return new FancyDataSource(); }
The following example shows how to define a data source by setting properties:
app.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:mydb app.datasource.username=sa app.datasource.pool-size=30
Assuming that your FancyDataSource
has regular JavaBean properties for the URL, the
username, and the pool size, these settings are bound automatically before the
DataSource
is made available to other components. The regular
database initialization also happens
(so the relevant sub-set of spring.datasource.*
can still be used with your custom
configuration).
You can apply the same principle if you configure a custom JNDI DataSource
, as shown in
the following example:
@Bean(destroyMethod="") @ConfigurationProperties(prefix="app.datasource") public DataSource dataSource() throws Exception { JndiDataSourceLookup dataSourceLookup = new JndiDataSourceLookup(); return dataSourceLookup.getDataSource("java:comp/env/jdbc/YourDS"); }
Spring Boot also provides a utility builder class, called DataSourceBuilder
, that can
be used to create one of the standard data sources (if it is on the classpath). The
builder can detect the one to use based on what’s available on the classpath. It also
auto-detects the driver based on the JDBC URL.
The following example shows how to create a data source by using a DataSourceBuilder
:
@Bean @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") public DataSource dataSource() { return DataSourceBuilder.create().build(); }
To run an app with that DataSource
, all you need is the connection
information. Pool-specific settings can also be provided. Check the implementation that
is going to be used at runtime for more details.
The following example shows how to define a JDBC data source by setting properties:
app.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test app.datasource.username=dbuser app.datasource.password=dbpass app.datasource.pool-size=30
However, there is a catch. Because the actual type of the connection pool is not exposed,
no keys are generated in the metadata for your custom DataSource
and no completion is
available in your IDE (because the DataSource
interface exposes no properties). Also, if
you happen to have Hikari on the classpath, this basic setup does not work, because Hikari
has no url
property (but does have a jdbcUrl
property). In that case, you must rewrite
your configuration as follows:
app.datasource.jdbc-url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test app.datasource.username=dbuser app.datasource.password=dbpass app.datasource.maximum-pool-size=30
You can fix that by forcing the connection pool to use and return a dedicated
implementation rather than DataSource
. You cannot change the implementation
at runtime, but the list of options will be explicit.
The following example shows how create a HikariDataSource
with DataSourceBuilder
:
@Bean @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") public HikariDataSource dataSource() { return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(HikariDataSource.class).build(); }
You can even go further by leveraging what DataSourceProperties
does for you — that is,
by providing a default embedded database with a sensible username and password if no URL
is provided. You can easily initialize a DataSourceBuilder
from the state of any
DataSourceProperties
object, so you could also inject the DataSource that Spring Boot
creates automatically. However, that would split your configuration into two namespaces:
url
, username
, password
, type
, and driver
on spring.datasource
and the rest on
your custom namespace (app.datasource
). To avoid that, you can redefine a custom
DataSourceProperties
on your custom namespace, as shown in the following example:
@Bean @Primary @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") public DataSourceProperties dataSourceProperties() { return new DataSourceProperties(); } @Bean @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource") public HikariDataSource dataSource(DataSourceProperties properties) { return properties.initializeDataSourceBuilder().type(HikariDataSource.class) .build(); }
This setup puts you in sync with what Spring Boot does for you by default, except that
a dedicated connection pool is chosen (in code) and its settings are exposed in the same
namespace. Because DataSourceProperties
is taking care of the url
/jdbcUrl
translation for you, you can configure it as follows:
app.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test app.datasource.username=dbuser app.datasource.password=dbpass app.datasource.maximum-pool-size=30

---|---|
Because your custom configuration chooses to go with Hikari, |
See “Section 29.1, “Configure a DataSource”” in the
“Spring Boot features” section and the
DataSourceAutoConfiguration
class for more details.
If you need to configure multiple data sources, you can apply the same tricks that are
described in the previous section. You must, however, mark one of the DataSource
instances as @Primary
, because various auto-configurations down the road expect to be
able to get one by type.
If you create your own DataSource
, the auto-configuration backs off. In the following
example, we provide the exact same feature set as the auto-configuration provides
on the primary data source:
@Bean @Primary @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") public DataSourceProperties firstDataSourceProperties() { return new DataSourceProperties(); } @Bean @Primary @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") public DataSource firstDataSource() { return firstDataSourceProperties().initializeDataSourceBuilder().build(); } @Bean @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.second") public BasicDataSource secondDataSource() { return DataSourceBuilder.create().type(BasicDataSource.class).build(); }
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
|
Both data sources are also bound for advanced customizations. For instance, you could configure them as follows:
app.datasource.first.type=com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource app.datasource.first.maximum-pool-size=30 app.datasource.second.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test app.datasource.second.username=dbuser app.datasource.second.password=dbpass app.datasource.second.max-total=30
You can apply the same concept to the secondary DataSource
as well, as shown in the
following example:
@Bean @Primary @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") public DataSourceProperties firstDataSourceProperties() { return new DataSourceProperties(); } @Bean @Primary @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.first") public DataSource firstDataSource() { return firstDataSourceProperties().initializeDataSourceBuilder().build(); } @Bean @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.second") public DataSourceProperties secondDataSourceProperties() { return new DataSourceProperties(); } @Bean @ConfigurationProperties("app.datasource.second") public DataSource secondDataSource() { return secondDataSourceProperties().initializeDataSourceBuilder().build(); }
The preceding example configures two data sources on custom namespaces with the same logic as Spring Boot would use in auto-configuration.
Spring Data can create implementations of @Repository
interfaces of various flavors.
Spring Boot handles all of that for you, as long as those @Repositories
are included in
the same package (or a sub-package) of your @EnableAutoConfiguration
class.
For many applications, all you need is to put the right Spring Data dependencies on
your classpath (there is a spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
for JPA and a
spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb
for Mongodb) and create some repository interfaces to
handle your @Entity
objects. Examples are in the
JPA sample and the
Mongodb sample.
Spring Boot tries to guess the location of your @Repository
definitions, based on the
@EnableAutoConfiguration
it finds. To get more control, use the @EnableJpaRepositories
annotation (from Spring Data JPA).
For more about Spring Data, see the Spring Data project page.
Spring Boot tries to guess the location of your @Entity
definitions, based on the
@EnableAutoConfiguration
it finds. To get more control, you can use the @EntityScan
annotation, as shown in the following example:
@Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @EntityScan(basePackageClasses=City.class) public class Application { //... }
Spring Data JPA already provides some vendor-independent configuration options (such as those for SQL logging), and Spring Boot exposes those options and a few more for Hibernate as external configuration properties. Some of them are automatically detected according to the context so you should not have to set them.
The spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
is a special case, because, depending on runtime
conditions, it has different defaults. If an embedded database is used and no schema
manager (such as Liquibase or Flyway) is handling the DataSource
, it defaults to
create-drop
. In all other cases, it defaults to none
.
The dialect to use is also automatically detected based on the current DataSource
, but
you can set spring.jpa.database
yourself if you want to be explicit and bypass that
check on startup.

The most common options to set are shown in the following example:

are passed through as normal
JPA properties (with the prefix stripped) when the local EntityManagerFactory
is
created.

If you need to apply advanced customization to Hibernate properties, consider
registering a |
Hibernate uses two different naming strategies to map
names from the object model to the corresponding database names. The fully qualified
class name of the physical and the implicit strategy implementations can be configured by
setting the spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy
and
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.implicit-strategy
properties, respectively. Alternatively,
if ImplicitNamingStrategy
or PhysicalNamingStrategy
beans are available in the
application context, Hibernate will be automatically configured to use them.
By default, Spring Boot configures the physical naming strategy with
SpringPhysicalNamingStrategy
. This implementation provides the same table structure as
Hibernate 4: all dots are replaced by underscores and camel casing is replaced by
underscores as well. By default, all table names are generated in lower case, but it is
possible to override that flag if your schema requires it.
For example, a TelephoneNumber
entity is mapped to the telephone_number
table.
If you prefer to use Hibernate 5’s default instead, set the following property:
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy=org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl
Alternatively, you can configure the following bean:
@Bean public PhysicalNamingStrategy physicalNamingStrategy() { return new PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl(); }
See HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration
and JpaBaseConfiguration
for more details.
To take full control of the configuration of the EntityManagerFactory
, you need to add
a @Bean
named ‘entityManagerFactory’. Spring Boot auto-configuration switches off its
entity manager in the presence of a bean of that type.
Even if the default EntityManagerFactory
works fine, you need to define a new one.
Otherwise, the presence of the second bean of that type switches off the
default. To make it easy to do, you can use the convenient EntityManagerBuilder
provided by Spring Boot. Alternatively, you can just the
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean
directly from Spring ORM, as shown in the
following example:
// add two data sources configured as above @Bean public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean customerEntityManagerFactory( EntityManagerFactoryBuilder builder) { return builder .dataSource(customerDataSource()) .packages(Customer.class) .persistenceUnit("customers") .build(); } @Bean public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean orderEntityManagerFactory( EntityManagerFactoryBuilder builder) { return builder .dataSource(orderDataSource()) .packages(Order.class) .persistenceUnit("orders") .build(); }
The configuration above almost works on its own. To complete the picture, you need to
configure TransactionManagers
for the two EntityManagers
as well. If you mark one of
them as @Primary
, it could be picked up by the default JpaTransactionManager
in Spring
Boot. The other would have to be explicitly injected into a new instance. Alternatively,
you might be able to use a JTA transaction manager that spans both.
If you use Spring Data, you need to configure @EnableJpaRepositories
accordingly,
as shown in the following example:
@Configuration @EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses = Customer.class, entityManagerFactoryRef = "customerEntityManagerFactory") public class CustomerConfiguration { ... } @Configuration @EnableJpaRepositories(basePackageClasses = Order.class, entityManagerFactoryRef = "orderEntityManagerFactory") public class OrderConfiguration { ... }
Spring Boot will not search for or use a META-INF/persistence.xml
by default. If you
prefer to use a traditional persistence.xml
, you need to define your own @Bean
of
type LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean
(with an ID of ‘entityManagerFactory’) and set the
persistence unit name there.
See
JpaBaseConfiguration
for the default settings.
Spring Data JPA and Spring Data Mongo can both automatically create Repository
implementations for you. If they are both present on the classpath, you might have to do
some extra configuration to tell Spring Boot which repositories to create. The most
explicit way to do that is to use the standard Spring Data @EnableJpaRepositories
and
@EnableMongoRepositories
annotations and provide the location of your Repository
interfaces.
There are also flags (spring.data.*.repositories.enabled
and
spring.data.*.repositories.type
) that you can use to switch the auto-configured
repositories on and off in external configuration. Doing so is useful, for instance, in
case you want to switch off the Mongo repositories and still use the auto-configured
MongoTemplate
.
The same obstacle and the same features exist for other auto-configured Spring Data repository types (Elasticsearch, Solr, and others). To work with them, change the names of the annotations and flags accordingly.
Spring Data REST can expose the Repository
implementations as REST endpoints for you,
provided Spring MVC has been enabled for the application.
Spring Boot exposes a set of useful properties (from the spring.data.rest
namespace)
that customize the
RepositoryRestConfiguration
.
If you need to provide additional customization, you should use a
RepositoryRestConfigurer
bean.

If you want to configure a component that JPA uses, then you need to ensure that the component is initialized before JPA. When the component is auto-configured, Spring Boot takes care of this for you. For example, when Flyway is auto-configured, Hibernate is configured to depend upon Flyway so that Flyway has a chance to initialize the database before Hibernate tries to use it.
If you are configuring a component yourself, you can use an
EntityManagerFactoryDependsOnPostProcessor
subclass as a convenient way of setting up
the necessary dependencies. For example, if you use Hibernate Search with
Elasticsearch as its index manager, any EntityManagerFactory
beans must be
configured to depend on the elasticsearchClient
bean, as shown in the following example:
/** * {@link EntityManagerFactoryDependsOnPostProcessor} that ensures that * {@link EntityManagerFactory} beans depend on the {@code elasticsearchClient} bean. */ @Configuration static class ElasticsearchJpaDependencyConfiguration extends EntityManagerFactoryDependsOnPostProcessor { ElasticsearchJpaDependencyConfiguration() { super("elasticsearchClient"); } }
If you need to use jOOQ with multiple data sources, you should create your own
DSLContext
for each one. Refer to
JooqAutoConfiguration
for more details.

An SQL database can be initialized in different ways depending on what your stack is. Of course, you can also do it manually, provided the database is a separate process.
JPA has features for DDL generation, and these can be set up to run on startup against the database. This is controlled through two external properties:
spring.jpa.generate-ddl
(boolean) switches the feature on and off and is vendor
independent.spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
(enum) is a Hibernate feature that controls the
behavior in a more fine-grained way. This feature is described in more detail later in
this guide.You can set spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
explicitly and the standard Hibernate property
values are none
, validate
, update
, create
, and create-drop
. Spring Boot chooses
a default value for you based on whether it thinks your database is embedded. It defaults
to create-drop
if no schema manager has been detected or none
in all other cases. An
embedded database is detected by looking at the Connection
type. hsqldb
, h2
, and
derby
are embedded, and others are not. Be careful when switching from in-memory to a
‘real’ database that you do not make assumptions about the existence of the tables and
data in the new platform. You either have to set ddl-auto
explicitly or use one of the
other mechanisms to initialize the database.

You can output the schema creation by enabling the |
In addition, a file named import.sql
in the root of the classpath is executed on
startup if Hibernate creates the schema from scratch (that is, if the ddl-auto
property
is set to create
or create-drop
). This can be useful for demos and for testing if you
are careful but is probably not something you want to be on the classpath in production.
It is a Hibernate feature (and has nothing to do with Spring).
Spring Boot can automatically create the schema (DDL scripts) of your DataSource
and
initialize it (DML scripts). It loads SQL from the standard root classpath locations:
schema.sql
and data.sql
, respectively. In addition, Spring Boot processes the
schema-${platform}.sql
and data-${platform}.sql
files (if present), where platform
is the value of spring.datasource.platform
. This allows you to switch to
database-specific scripts if necessary. For example, you might choose to set it to the
vendor name of the database (hsqldb
, h2
, oracle
, mysql
, postgresql
, and so on).
Spring Boot automatically creates the schema of an embedded DataSource
. This behavior
can be customized by using the spring.datasource.initialization-mode
property (and it
can also be always
or never
).
By default, Spring Boot enables the fail-fast feature of the Spring JDBC initializer. This
means that, if the scripts cause exceptions, the application fails to start. You can tune
that behavior by setting spring.datasource.continue-on-error
.

If you use Spring Batch, it comes pre-packaged with SQL initialization scripts for most popular database platforms. Spring Boot can detect your database type and execute those scripts on startup. If you use an embedded database, this happens by default. You can also enable it for any database type, as shown in the following example:
spring.batch.initialize-schema=always
You can also switch off the initialization explicitly by setting
spring.batch.initialize-schema=never
.
Spring Boot supports two higher-level migration tools: Flyway and Liquibase.
To automatically run Flyway database migrations on startup, add the
org.flywaydb:flyway-core
to your classpath.
The migrations are scripts in the form V<VERSION>__<NAME>.sql
(with <VERSION>
an
underscore-separated version, such as ‘1’ or ‘2_1’). By default, they are in a folder
called classpath:db/migration
, but you can modify that location by setting
spring.flyway.locations
. You can also add a special {vendor}
placeholder to use
vendor-specific scripts. Assume the following:
spring.flyway.locations=db/migration/{vendor}
Rather than using db/migration
, the preceding configuration sets the folder to use
according to the type of the database (such as db/migration/mysql
for MySQL). The list
of supported databases is available in
DatabaseDriver
.
See the Flyway class from flyway-core for details of available settings such as schemas
and others. In addition, Spring Boot provides a small set of properties (in
FlywayProperties
)
that can be used to disable the migrations or switch off the location checking. Spring
Boot calls Flyway.migrate()
to perform the database migration. If you would like
more control, provide a @Bean
that implements
FlywayMigrationStrategy
.
Flyway supports SQL and Java callbacks.
To use SQL-based callbacks, place the callback scripts in the classpath:db/migration
folder. To use Java-based callbacks, create one or more beans that implement
FlywayCallback
or, preferably, extend BaseFlywayCallback
. Any such beans are
automatically registered with Flyway
. They can be ordered by using @Order
or by
implementing Ordered
.
By default, Flyway autowires the (@Primary
) DataSource
in your context and
uses that for migrations. If you like to use a different DataSource
, you can create
one and mark its @Bean
as @FlywayDataSource
. If you do so and want two data sources,
remember to create another one and mark it as @Primary
. Alternatively, you can use
Flyway’s native DataSource
by setting spring.flyway.[url,user,password]
in external properties. Setting either spring.flyway.url
or spring.flyway.user
is sufficient to cause Flyway to use its own DataSource
. If any of the three
properties has not be set, the value of its equivalent spring.datasource
property will
be used.
There is a Flyway sample so that you can see how to set things up.
You can also use Flyway to provide data for specific scenarios. For example, you can
place test-specific migrations in src/test/resources
and they are run only when your
application starts for testing. Also, you can use profile-specific configuration to
customize spring.flyway.locations
so that certain migrations run only when a particular
profile is active. For example, in application-dev.properties
, you might specify the
following setting:
spring.flyway.locations=classpath:/db/migration,classpath:/dev/db/migration
With that setup, migrations in dev/db/migration
run only when the dev
profile is
active.
To automatically run Liquibase database migrations on startup, add the
org.liquibase:liquibase-core
to your classpath.
By default, the master change log is read from db/changelog/db.changelog-master.yaml
,
but you can change the location by setting spring.liquibase.change-log
. In addition to
YAML, Liquibase also supports JSON, XML, and SQL change log formats.
By default, Liquibase autowires the (@Primary
) DataSource
in your context and uses
that for migrations. If you need to use a different DataSource
, you can create one and
mark its @Bean
as @LiquibaseDataSource
. If you do so and you want two data sources,
remember to create another one and mark it as @Primary
. Alternatively, you can use
Liquibase’s native DataSource
by setting spring.liquibase.[url,user,password]
in
external properties. Setting either spring.liquibase.url
or spring.liquibase.user
is sufficient to cause Liquibase to use its own DataSource
. If any of the three
properties has not be set, the value of its equivalent spring.datasource
property will
be used.
See
LiquibaseProperties
for details about available settings such as contexts, the default schema, and others.
There is a Liquibase sample so that you can see how to set things up.
Spring Boot offers a number of starters that include messaging. This section answers questions that arise from using messaging with Spring Boot.
If your JMS broker does not support transacted sessions, you have to disable the
support of transactions altogether. If you create your own JmsListenerContainerFactory
,
there is nothing to do, since, by default it cannot be transacted. If you want to use
the DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer
to reuse Spring Boot’s default, you
can disable transacted sessions, as follows:
@Bean public DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory jmsListenerContainerFactory( ConnectionFactory connectionFactory, DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer configurer) { DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory listenerFactory = new DefaultJmsListenerContainerFactory(); configurer.configure(listenerFactory, connectionFactory); listenerFactory.setTransactionManager(null); listenerFactory.setSessionTransacted(false); return listenerFactory; }
The preceding example overrides the default factory, and it should be applied to any other factory that your application defines, if any.
This section answers questions that arise from using Spring Batch with Spring Boot.

By default, batch applications require a |
For more about Spring Batch, see the Spring Batch project page.
Spring Batch auto-configuration is enabled by adding @EnableBatchProcessing
(from Spring Batch) somewhere in your context.
By default, it executes all Jobs
in the application context on startup (see
JobLauncherCommandLineRunner
for details). You can narrow down to a specific job or jobs by specifying
spring.batch.job.names
(which takes a comma-separated list of job name patterns).
If the application context includes a JobRegistry
, the jobs in
spring.batch.job.names
are looked up in the registry instead of being autowired from the
context. This is a common pattern with more complex systems, where multiple jobs are
defined in child contexts and registered centrally.
See BatchAutoConfiguration and @EnableBatchProcessing for more details.
Spring Boot includes the Spring Boot Actuator. This section answers questions that often arise from its use.
In a standalone application, the Actuator HTTP port defaults to the same as the main HTTP
port. To make the application listen on a different port, set the external property:
management.server.port
. To listen on a completely different network address (such as
when you have an internal network for management and an external one for user
applications), you can also set management.server.address
to a valid IP address to which
the server is able to bind.
For more detail, see the
ManagementServerProperties
source code and
“Section 51.2, “Customizing the Management Server Port””
in the “Production-ready features” section.
Spring Boot installs a ‘whitelabel’ error page that you see in a browser client if you encounter a server error (machine clients consuming JSON and other media types should see a sensible response with the right error code).
![]() | Note |
---|---|
Set |
Overriding the error page with your own depends on the templating technology that you
use. For example, if you use Thymeleaf, you can add an error.html
template.
If you use FreeMarker, you can add an error.ftl
template. In general, you
need a View
that resolves with a name of error
or a @Controller
that handles
the /error
path. Unless you replaced some of the default configuration, you should find
a BeanNameViewResolver
in your ApplicationContext
, so a @Bean
named error
would
be a simple way of doing that. See
ErrorMvcAutoConfiguration
for more options.
See also the section on “Error Handling” for details of how to register handlers in the servlet container.
This section addresses questions about security when working with Spring Boot, including questions that arise from using Spring Security with Spring Boot.
For more about Spring Security, see the Spring Security project page.
If you define a @Configuration
with a WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
in your application,
it switches off the default webapp security settings in Spring Boot.
If you provide a @Bean
of type AuthenticationManager
, AuthenticationProvider
,
or UserDetailsService
, the default @Bean
for InMemoryUserDetailsManager
is not
created, so you have the full feature set of Spring Security available (such as
various
authentication options).
The easiest way to add user accounts is to provide your own UserDetailsService
bean.
Ensuring that all your main endpoints are only available over HTTPS is an important
chore for any application. If you use Tomcat as a servlet container, then
Spring Boot adds Tomcat’s own RemoteIpValve
automatically if it detects some
environment settings, and you should be able to rely on the HttpServletRequest
to
report whether it is secure or not (even downstream of a proxy server that handles the
real SSL termination). The standard behavior is determined by the presence or absence of
certain request headers (x-forwarded-for
and x-forwarded-proto
), whose names are
conventional, so it should work with most front-end proxies. You can switch on the valve
by adding some entries to application.properties
, as shown in the following example:
server.tomcat.remote-ip-header=x-forwarded-for server.tomcat.protocol-header=x-forwarded-proto
(The presence of either of those properties switches on the valve. Alternatively, you can
add the RemoteIpValve
by adding a TomcatServletWebServerFactory
bean.)
To configure Spring Security to require a secure channel for all (or some)
requests, consider adding your own WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
that adds the following
HttpSecurity
configuration:
@Configuration public class SslWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { // Customize the application security http.requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure(); } }
Spring Boot supports hot swapping. This section answers questions about how it works.
There are several options for hot reloading. The recommended approach is to use
spring-boot-devtools
, as it provides
additional development-time features, such as support for fast application restarts
and LiveReload as well as sensible development-time configuration (such as template
caching). Devtools works by monitoring the classpath for changes. This means that static
resource changes must be "built" for the change to take affect. By default, this happens
automatically in Eclipse when you save your changes. In IntelliJ IDEA, the Make Project
command triggers the necessary build. Due to the
default restart
exclusions, changes to static resources do not trigger a restart of your application.
They do, however, trigger a live reload.
Alternatively, running in an IDE (especially with debugging on) is a good way to do development (all modern IDEs allow reloading of static resources and usually also allow hot-swapping of Java class changes).
Finally, the Maven and Gradle plugins can
be configured (see the addResources
property) to support running from the command line
with reloading of static files directly from source. You can use that with an external
css/js compiler process if you are writing that code with higher-level tools.
Most of the templating technologies supported by Spring Boot include a configuration
option to disable caching (described later in this document). If you use the
spring-boot-devtools
module, these properties are
automatically configured
for you at development time.
If you use Thymeleaf, set spring.thymeleaf.cache
to false
. See
ThymeleafAutoConfiguration
for other Thymeleaf customization options.
If you use FreeMarker, set spring.freemarker.cache
to false
. See
FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration
for other FreeMarker customization options.
If you use Groovy templates, set spring.groovy.template.cache
to false
. See
GroovyTemplateAutoConfiguration
for other Groovy customization options.
The spring-boot-devtools
module includes support for automatic application restarts.
While not as fast as technologies such as
JRebel it is usually significantly faster than
a “cold start”. You should probably give it a try before investigating some of the more
complex reload options discussed later in this document.
For more details, see the Chapter 20, Developer Tools section.
Spring Boot includes build plugins for Maven and Gradle. This section answers common questions about these plugins.
Both the Maven plugin and the Gradle plugin allow generating build information containing
the coordinates, name, and version of the project. The plugins can also be configured
to add additional properties through configuration. When such a file is present,
Spring Boot auto-configures a BuildProperties
bean.
To generate build information with Maven, add an execution for the build-info
goal, as
shown in the following example:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>build-info</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>

Both Maven and Gradle allow generating a git.properties
file containing information
about the state of your git
source code repository when the project was built.
For Maven users, the spring-boot-starter-parent
POM includes a pre-configured plugin to
generate a git.properties
file. To use it, add the following declaration to your POM:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>pl.project13.maven</groupId> <artifactId>git-commit-id-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
Gradle users can achieve the same result by using the

If you use a Maven build that inherits directly or indirectly from
spring-boot-dependencies
(for instance, spring-boot-starter-parent
) but you want to
override a specific third-party dependency, you can add appropriate <properties>
elements. Browse the
spring-boot-dependencies
POM for a complete list of properties. For example, to pick a different slf4j
version,
you would add the following property:
<properties> <slf4j.version>1.7.5<slf4j.version> </properties>

Each Spring Boot release is designed and tested against this specific set of third-party dependencies. Overriding versions may cause compatibility issues. |
To override dependency versions in Gradle, see this section of the Gradle plugin’s documentation.
The spring-boot-maven-plugin
can be used to create an executable “fat” JAR. If you
use the spring-boot-starter-parent
POM, you can declare the plugin and your jars are
repackaged as follows:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
If you do not use the parent POM, you can still use the plugin. However, you must
additionally add an <executions>
section, as follows:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>repackage</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
See the plugin documentation for full usage details.
Like a war file, a Spring Boot application is not intended to be used as a dependency. If your application contains classes that you want to share with other projects, the recommended approach is to move that code into a separate module. The separate module can then be depended upon by your application and other projects.
If you cannot rearrange your code as recommended above, Spring Boot’s Maven and Gradle
plugins must be configured to produce a separate artifact that is suitable for use as a
dependency. The executable archive cannot be used as a dependency as the
executable jar
format packages application classes in BOOT-INF/classes
. This means
that they cannot be found when the executable jar is used as a dependency.
To produce the two artifacts, one that can be used as a dependency and one that is executable, a classifier must be specified. This classifier is applied to the name of the executable archive, leaving the default archive for use as a dependency.
To configure a classifier of exec
in Maven, you can use the following configuration:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <classifier>exec</classifier> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
Most nested libraries in an executable jar do not need to be unpacked in order to run.
However, certain libraries can have problems. For example, JRuby includes its own nested
jar support, which assumes that the jruby-complete.jar
is always directly available as a
file in its own right.
To deal with any problematic libraries, you can flag that specific nested jars should be automatically unpacked to the “temp folder” when the executable jar first runs.
For example, to indicate that JRuby should be flagged for unpacking by using the Maven Plugin, you would add the following configuration:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <requiresUnpack> <dependency> <groupId>org.jruby</groupId> <artifactId>jruby-complete</artifactId> </dependency> </requiresUnpack> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
Often, if you have an executable and a non-executable jar as two separate build products,
the executable version has additional configuration files that are not needed in a library
jar. For example, the application.yml
configuration file might by excluded from the
non-executable JAR.
In Maven, the executable jar must be the main artifact and you can add a classified jar for the library, as follows:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>lib</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>jar</goal> </goals> <configuration> <classifier>lib</classifier> <excludes> <exclude>application.yml</exclude> </excludes> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
To attach a remote debugger to a Spring Boot application that was started with Maven, you
can use the jvmArguments
property of the maven plugin.
See this example for more details.
To build with Ant, you need to grab dependencies, compile, and then create a jar or war
archive. To make it executable, you can either use the spring-boot-antlib
module or you can follow these instructions:
BOOT-INF/classes
directory. If you are building a war, package the application’s
classes in a nested WEB-INF/classes
directory as usual.BOOT-INF/lib
directory for a jar or
WEB-INF/lib
for a war. Remember not to compress the entries in the archive.provided
(embedded container) dependencies in a nested BOOT-INF/lib
directory for a jar or WEB-INF/lib-provided
for a war. Remember not to compress the
entries in the archive.spring-boot-loader
classes at the root of the archive (so that the Main-Class
is available).JarLauncher
for a jar file) as a Main-Class
attribute in the manifest and specify the other properties it needs as manifest entries — principally, by setting a Start-Class
property.The following example shows how to build an executable archive with Ant:
<target name="build" depends="compile"> <jar destfile="target/${ant.project.name}-${spring-boot.version}.jar" compress="false"> <mappedresources> <fileset dir="target/classes" /> <globmapper from="*" to="BOOT-INF/classes/*"/> </mappedresources> <mappedresources> <fileset dir="src/main/resources" erroronmissingdir="false"/> <globmapper from="*" to="BOOT-INF/classes/*"/> </mappedresources> <mappedresources> <fileset dir="${lib.dir}/runtime" /> <globmapper from="*" to="BOOT-INF/lib/*"/> </mappedresources> <zipfileset src="${lib.dir}/loader/spring-boot-loader-jar-${spring-boot.version}.jar" /> <manifest> <attribute name="Main-Class" value="org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher" /> <attribute name="Start-Class" value="${start-class}" /> </manifest> </jar> </target>
The Ant Sample has a
build.xml
file with a manual
task that should work if you run it with the following
command:
$ ant -lib <folder containing ivy-2.2.jar> clean manual
Then you can run the application with the following command:
$ java -jar target/*.jar
Spring Boot supports traditional deployment as well as more modern forms of deployment. This section answers common questions about traditional deployment.
![]() | Warning |
---|---|
Because Spring WebFlux does not strictly depend on the Servlet API and applications are deployed by default on an embedded Reactor Netty server, War deployment is not supported for WebFlux applications. |
The first step in producing a deployable war file is to provide a
SpringBootServletInitializer
subclass and override its configure
method. Doing so
makes use of Spring Framework’s Servlet 3.0 support and lets you configure your
application when it is launched by the servlet container. Typically, you should update
your application’s main class to extend SpringBootServletInitializer
, as shown in the
following example:
@SpringBootApplication public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer { @Override protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) { return application.sources(Application.class); } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } }
The next step is to update your build configuration such that your project produces a war
file rather than a jar file. If you use Maven and spring-boot-starter-parent
(which
configures Maven’s war plugin for you), all you need to do is to modify pom.xml
to
change the packaging to war, as follows:
<packaging>war</packaging>
If you use Gradle, you need to modify build.gradle
to apply the war plugin to the
project, as follows:
apply plugin: 'war'
The final step in the process is to ensure that the embedded servlet container does not interfere with the servlet container to which the war file is deployed. To do so, you need to mark the embedded servlet container dependency as being provided.
If you use Maven, the following example marks the servlet container (Tomcat, in this case) as being provided:
<dependencies> <!-- … --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <!-- … --> </dependencies>
If you use Gradle, the following example marks the servlet container (Tomcat, in this case) as being provided:
dependencies { // … providedRuntime 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat' // … }
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
|
If you use the Spring Boot build tools,
marking the embedded servlet container dependency as provided produces an executable war
file with the provided dependencies packaged in a lib-provided
directory. This means
that, in addition to being deployable to a servlet container, you can also run your
application by using java -jar
on the command line.

Take a look at Spring Boot’s sample applications for a Maven-based example of the previously described configuration. |
For a non-web application, it should be easy to convert an existing Spring application to
a Spring Boot application. To do so, throw away the code that creates your
ApplicationContext
and replace it with calls to SpringApplication
or
SpringApplicationBuilder
. Spring MVC web applications are generally amenable to first
creating a deployable war application and then migrating it later to an executable war
or jar. See the Getting
Started Guide on Converting a jar to a war.
To create a deployable war by extending SpringBootServletInitializer
(for example, in a
class called Application
) and adding the Spring Boot @SpringBootApplication
annotation, use code similar to that shown in the following example:
@SpringBootApplication public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer { @Override protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) { // Customize the application or call application.sources(...) to add sources // Since our example is itself a @Configuration class (via @SpringBootApplication) // we actually don't need to override this method. return application; } }
Remember that, whatever you put in the sources
is merely a Spring ApplicationContext
.
Normally, anything that already works should work here. There might be some beans you can
remove later and let Spring Boot provide its own defaults for them, but it should be
possible to get something working before you need to do that.
Static resources can be moved to /public
(or /static
or /resources
or
/META-INF/resources
) in the classpath root. The same applies to messages.properties
(which Spring Boot automatically detects in the root of the classpath).
Vanilla usage of Spring DispatcherServlet
and Spring Security should require no further
changes. If you have other features in your application (for instance, using other
servlets or filters), you may need to add some configuration to your Application
context, by replacing those elements from the web.xml
, as follows:
@Bean
of type Servlet
or ServletRegistrationBean
installs that bean in the
container as if it were a <servlet/>
and <servlet-mapping/>
in web.xml
.@Bean
of type Filter
or FilterRegistrationBean
behaves similarly (as a
<filter/>
and <filter-mapping/>
).ApplicationContext
in an XML file can be added through an @ImportResource
in
your Application
. Alternatively, simple cases where annotation configuration is
heavily used already can be recreated in a few lines as @Bean
definitions.Once the war file is working, you can make it executable by adding a main
method to
your Application
, as shown in the following example:
public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); }
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If you intend to start your application as a war or as an executable application, you
need to share the customizations of the builder in a method that is both available to the
@SpringBootApplication public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer { @Override protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) { return configureApplication(builder); } public static void main(String[] args) { configureApplication(new SpringApplicationBuilder()).run(args); } private static SpringApplicationBuilder configureApplication(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) { return builder.sources(Application.class).bannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF); } } |
Applications can fall into more than one category:
web.xml
.web.xml
.All of these should be amenable to translation, but each might require slightly different techniques.
Servlet 3.0+ applications might translate pretty easily if they already use the Spring
Servlet 3.0+ initializer support classes. Normally, all the code from an existing
WebApplicationInitializer
can be moved into a SpringBootServletInitializer
. If your
existing application has more than one ApplicationContext
(for example, if it uses
AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer
) then you might be able to combine all your context
sources into a single SpringApplication
. The main complication you might encounter is if
combining does not work and you need to maintain the context hierarchy. See the
entry on building a hierarchy for
examples. An existing parent context that contains web-specific features usually
needs to be broken up so that all the ServletContextAware
components are in the child
context.
Applications that are not already Spring applications might be convertible to Spring
Boot applications, and the previously mentioned guidance may help. However, you may yet
encounter problems. In that case, we suggest
asking questions on Stack Overflow
with a tag of spring-boot
.
To deploy a Spring Boot application to WebLogic, you must ensure that your servlet
initializer directly implements WebApplicationInitializer
(even if you extend from a
base class that already implements it).
A typical initializer for WebLogic should resemble the following example:
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer; import org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer; @SpringBootApplication public class MyApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer { }
If you use Logback, you also need to tell WebLogic to prefer the packaged version
rather than the version that was pre-installed with the server. You can do so by adding a
WEB-INF/weblogic.xml
file with the following contents:

By default, the Spring Boot starter (spring-boot-starter-data-redis
) uses
Lettuce. You need to exclude that
dependency and include the Jedis one instead. Spring
Boot manages these dependencies to help make this process as easy as possible.
The following example shows how to do so in Maven:
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>io.lettuce</groupId> <artifactId>lettuce-core</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>redis.clients</groupId> <artifactId>jedis</artifactId> </dependency>
The following example shows how to do so in Gradle:
configurations { compile.exclude module: "lettuce" } dependencies { compile("redis.clients:jedis") // ... }
Various properties can be specified inside your application.properties
file, inside
your application.yml
file, or as command line switches. This appendix provides a list
of common Spring Boot properties and references to the underlying classes that consume
them.

Spring Boot jars include metadata files that provide details of all supported
configuration properties. The files are designed to let IDE developers offer
contextual help and “code completion” as users are working with application.properties
or application.yml
files.
The majority of the metadata file is generated automatically at compile time by
processing all items annotated with @ConfigurationProperties
. However, it is possible
to write part of the metadata manually
for corner cases or more advanced use cases.
Configuration metadata files are located inside jars under
META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json
They use a simple JSON format with items
categorized under either “groups” or “properties” and additional values hints
categorized under "hints", as shown in the following example:
{"groups": [ { "name": "server", "type": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties", "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties" }, { "name": "spring.jpa.hibernate", "type": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.JpaProperties$Hibernate", "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.JpaProperties", "sourceMethod": "getHibernate()" } ... ],"properties": [ { "name": "server.port", "type": "java.lang.Integer", "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties" }, { "name": "server.servlet.path", "type": "java.lang.String", "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties", "defaultValue": "/" }, { "name": "spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto", "type": "java.lang.String", "description": "DDL mode. This is actually a shortcut for the \"hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto\" property.", "sourceType": "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.JpaProperties$Hibernate" } ... ],"hints": [ { "name": "spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto", "values": [ { "value": "none", "description": "Disable DDL handling." }, { "value": "validate", "description": "Validate the schema, make no changes to the database." }, { "value": "update", "description": "Update the schema if necessary." }, { "value": "create", "description": "Create the schema and destroy previous data." }, { "value": "create-drop", "description": "Create and then destroy the schema at the end of the session." } ] } ]}
Each “property” is a configuration item that the user specifies with a given value.
For example, server.port
and server.servlet.path
might be specified in
application.properties
, as follows:
server.port=9090 server.servlet.path=/home
The “groups” are higher level items that do not themselves specify a value but instead
provide a contextual grouping for properties. For example, the server.port
and
server.servlet.path
properties are part of the server
group.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
It is not required that every “property” has a “group”. Some properties might exist in their own right. |
Finally, “hints” are additional information used to assist the user in configuring a
given property. For example, when a developer is configuring the
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
property, a tool can use the hints to offer some
auto-completion help for the none
, validate
, update
, create
, and create-drop
values.
The JSON object contained in the groups
array can contain the attributes shown in the
following table:
Name | Type | Purpose |
---|---|---|
| String | The full name of the group. This attribute is mandatory. |
| String | The class name of the data type of the group. For example, if the group were based

Deprecation can also be specified declaratively in code by adding the
@DeprecatedConfigurationProperty
annotation to the getter exposing the deprecated
property. For instance, assume that the app.acme.target
property was confusing and
was renamed to app.acme.name
. The following example shows how to handle that situation:
@ConfigurationProperties("app.acme") public class AcmeProperties { private String name; public String getName() { ... } public void setName(String name) { ... } @DeprecatedConfigurationProperty(replacement = "app.acme.name") @Deprecated public String getTarget() { return getName(); } @Deprecated public void setTarget(String target) { setName(target); } }

The preceding code makes sure that the deprecated property still works (delegating
to the name
property behind the scenes). Once the getTarget
and setTarget
methods can be removed from your public API, the automatic deprecation hint in the
metadata goes away as well. If you want to keep a hint, adding manual metadata with
an error
deprecation level ensures that users are still informed about that property.
Doing so is particularly useful when a replacement
is provided.
The JSON object contained in the hints
array can contain the attributes shown in the
following table:
Name | Type | Purpose |

| String | The full name of the property to which this hint refers. Names are in lower-case
period-separated form (such as |

| String | A short description of the value that can be displayed to users. If no description is
available, it may be omitted . It is recommended that descriptions be short paragraphs,
with the first line providing a concise summary. The last line in the description should
end with a period ( |
The JSON object contained in the providers
attribute of each hint
element can contain
the attributes described in the following table:
Name | Type | Purpose |
---|---|---|
| String | The name of the provider to use to offer additional content assistance for the element to which the hint refers. |
| JSON object | Any additional parameter that the provider supports (check the documentation of the provider for more details). |
Objects with the same “property” and “group” name can appear multiple times within a metadata file. For example, you could bind two separate classes to the same prefix, with each having potentially overlapping property names. While the same names appearing in the metadata multiple times should not be common, consumers of metadata should take care to ensure that they support it.
To improve the user experience and further assist the user in configuring a given property, you can provide additional metadata that:
The name
attribute of each hint refers to the name
of a property. In the
initial example shown earlier, we provide five values
for the spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
property: none
, validate
, update
, create
,
and create-drop
. Each value may have a description as well.
If your property is of type Map
, you can provide hints for both the keys and the
values (but not for the map itself). The special .keys
and .values
suffixes must
refer to the keys and the values, respectively.
Assume a sample.contexts
maps magic String
values to an integer, as shown in the
following example:
@ConfigurationProperties("sample") public class SampleProperties { private Map<String,Integer> contexts; // getters and setters }
The magic values are (in this example) are sample1
and sample2
. In order to offer
additional content assistance for the keys, you could add the following JSON to
the manual metadata of the module:
{"hints": [ { "name": "sample.contexts.keys", "values": [ { "value": "sample1" }, { "value": "sample2" } ] } ]}

Providers are a powerful way to attach semantics to a property. In this section, we define the official providers that you can use for your own hints. However, your favorite IDE may implement some of these or none of them. Also, it could eventually provide its own.

Only one provider can be active for a given property, but you can specify several providers if they can all manage the property in some way. Make sure to place the most powerful provider first, as the IDE must use the first one in the JSON section that it can handle. If no provider for a given property is supported, no special content assistance is provided, either. |
The special any provider value permits any additional values to be provided. Regular value validation based on the property type should be applied if this is supported.
This provider is typically used if you have a list of values and any extra values should still be considered as valid.
The following example offers on
and off
as auto-completion values for system.state
:
{"hints": [ { "name": "system.state", "values": [ { "value": "on" }, { "value": "off" } ], "providers": [ { "name": "any" } ] } ]}
Note that, in the preceding example, any other value is also allowed.
The class-reference provider auto-completes classes available in the project. This provider supports the following parameters:
Parameter | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
| none | The fully qualified name of the class that should be assignable to the chosen value. Typically used to filter out-non candidate classes. Note that this information can be provided by the type itself by exposing a class with the appropriate upper bound. |
|
| true | Specify whether only concrete classes are to be considered as valid candidates. |
The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard server.servlet.jsp.class-name
property that defines the JspServlet
class name to use:
{"hints": [ { "name": "server.servlet.jsp.class-name", "providers": [ { "name": "class-reference", "parameters": { "target": "javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet" } } ] } ]}
The handle-as provider lets you substitute the type of the property to a more
high-level type. This typically happens when the property has a java.lang.String
type,
because you do not want your configuration classes to rely on classes that may not be
on the classpath. This provider supports the following parameters:
Parameter | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
| none | The fully qualified name of the type to consider for the property. This parameter is mandatory. |
The following types can be used:
java.lang.Enum
: Lists the possible values for the property. (We recommend
defining the property with the Enum
type, as no further hint should be required for
the IDE to auto-complete the values.)java.nio.charset.Charset
: Supports auto-completion of charset/encoding values (such as
UTF-8
)java.util.Locale
: auto-completion of locales (such as en_US

The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard spring.liquibase.change-log
property that defines the path to the changelog to use. It is actually used internally as a
org.springframework.core.io.Resource
but cannot be exposed as such, because we need to
keep the original String value to pass it to the Liquibase API.
{"hints": [ { "name": "spring.liquibase.change-log", "providers": [ { "name": "handle-as", "parameters": { "target": "org.springframework.core.io.Resource" } } ] } ]}
The logger-name provider auto-completes valid logger names. Typically, package and class names available in the current project can be auto-completed. Specific frameworks may have extra magic logger names that can be supported as well.
Since a logger name can be any arbitrary name, this provider should allow any value but could highlight valid package and class names that are not available in the project’s classpath.
The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard logging.level
property. Keys
are logger names, and values correspond to the standard log levels or any custom
level.
{"hints": [ { "name": "logging.level.keys", "values": [ { "value": "root", "description": "Root logger used to assign the default logging level." } ], "providers": [ { "name": "logger-name" } ] }, { "name": "logging.level.values", "values": [ { "value": "trace" }, { "value": "debug" }, { "value": "info" }, { "value": "warn" }, { "value": "error" }, { "value": "fatal" }, { "value": "off" } ], "providers": [ { "name": "any" } ] } ]}
The spring-bean-reference provider auto-completes the beans that are defined in the configuration of the current project. This provider supports the following parameters:

The spring-profile-name provider auto-completes the Spring profiles that are defined in the configuration of the current project.
The following metadata snippet corresponds to the standard spring.profiles.active
property that defines the name of the Spring profile(s) to enable:

You can easily generate your own configuration metadata file from items annotated with
@ConfigurationProperties
by using the spring-boot-configuration-processor
jar.
The jar includes a Java annotation processor which is invoked as your project is
compiled. To use the processor, include a dependency on
spring-boot-configuration-processor
.
With Maven the dependency should be declared as optional, as shown in the following example:
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-configuration-processor</artifactId> <optional>true</optional> </dependency>
With Gradle 4.5 and earlier, the dependency should be declared in the compileOnly
configuration, as shown in the following example:
dependencies {
compileOnly "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor"
}
With Gradle 4.6 and later, the dependency should be declared in the annotationProcessor
configuration, as shown in the following example:
dependencies {
annotationProcessor "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor"
}
If you are using an additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json
file, the
compileJava
task should be configured to depend on the processResources
task, as shown
in the following example:
compileJava.dependsOn(processResources)
This dependency ensures that the additional metadata is available when the annotation processor runs during compilation.
The processor picks up both classes and methods that are annotated with
@ConfigurationProperties
. The Javadoc for field values within configuration classes
is used to populate the description
attribute.

Properties are discovered through the presence of standard getters and setters with
special handling for collection types (that is detected even if only a getter is present).
The annotation processor also supports the use of the @Data
, @Getter
, and @Setter
lombok annotations.
![]() | Note |
---|---|
If you are using AspectJ in your project, you need to make sure that the annotation
processor runs only once. There are several ways to do this. With Maven, you can
configure the <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <proc>none</proc> </configuration> </plugin> |
The annotation processor automatically considers inner classes as nested properties. Consider the following class:
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix="server") public class ServerProperties { private String name; private Host host; // ... getter and setters public static class Host { private String ip; private int port; // ... getter and setters } }
The preceding example produces metadata information for server.name
, server.host.ip
,
and server.host.port
properties. You can use the @NestedConfigurationProperty
annotation on a field to indicate that a regular (non-inner) class should be treated as
if it were nested.
![]() | Tip |
---|---|
This has no effect on collections and maps, as those types are automatically identified, and a single metadata property is generated for each of them. |
Spring Boot’s configuration file handling is quite flexible, and it is often the case
that properties may exist that are not bound to a @ConfigurationProperties
bean. You
may also need to tune some attributes of an existing key. To support such cases and let
you provide custom "hints", the annotation processor automatically merges items
from META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json
into the main metadata
file.
If you refer to a property that has been detected automatically, the description, default value, and deprecation information are overridden, if specified. If the manual property declaration is not identified in the current module, it is added as a new property.
The format of the additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json
file is exactly the same
as the regular spring-configuration-metadata.json
. The additional properties file is
optional. If you do not have any additional properties, do not add the file.
Here is a list of all auto-configuration classes provided by Spring Boot, with links to
documentation and source code. Remember to also look at the conditions report in your
application for more details of which features are switched on.
(To do so, start the app with --debug

or, in an Actuator application, use

endpoint).

The spring-boot-loader
modules lets Spring Boot support executable jar and
war files. If you use the Maven plugin or the Gradle plugin, executable jars are
automatically generated, and you generally do not need to know the details of how
they work.
If you need to create executable jars from a different build system or if you are just curious about the underlying technology, this section provides some background.
Java does not provide any standard way to load nested jar files (that is, jar files that are themselves contained within a jar). This can be problematic if you need to distribute a self-contained application that can be run from the command line without unpacking.
To solve this problem, many developers use “shaded” jars. A shaded jar packages all classes, from all jars, into a single “uber jar”. The problem with shaded jars is that it becomes hard to see which libraries are actually in your application. It can also be problematic if the same filename is used (but with different content) in multiple jars. Spring Boot takes a different approach and lets you actually nest jars directly.
Spring Boot Loader-compatible jar files should be structured in the following way:
example.jar | +-META-INF | +-MANIFEST.MF +-org | +-springframework | +-boot | +-loader | +-<spring boot loader classes> +-BOOT-INF +-classes | +-mycompany | +-project | +-YourClasses.class +-lib +-dependency1.jar +-dependency2.jar
Application classes should be placed in a nested BOOT-INF/classes
directory.
Dependencies should be placed in a nested BOOT-INF/lib
directory.
Spring Boot Loader-compatible war files should be structured in the following way:
example.war | +-META-INF | +-MANIFEST.MF +-org | +-springframework | +-boot | +-loader | +-<spring boot loader classes> +-WEB-INF +-classes | +-com | +-mycompany | +-project | +-YourClasses.class +-lib | +-dependency1.jar | +-dependency2.jar +-lib-provided +-servlet-api.jar +-dependency3.jar
Dependencies should be placed in a nested WEB-INF/lib
directory. Any dependencies
that are required when running embedded but are not required when deploying to
a traditional web container should be placed in WEB-INF/lib-provided
.
The core class used to support loading nested jars is
org.springframework.boot.loader.jar.JarFile
. It lets you load jar
content from a standard jar file or from nested child jar data. When first loaded, the
location of each JarEntry
is mapped to a physical file offset of the outer jar, as
shown in the following example:
myapp.jar +-------------------+-------------------------+ | /BOOT-INF/classes | /BOOT-INF/lib/mylib.jar | |+-----------------+||+-----------+----------+| || A.class ||| B.class | C.class || |+-----------------+||+-----------+----------+| +-------------------+-------------------------+ ^ ^ ^ 0063 3452 3980
The preceding example shows how A.class
can be found in /BOOT-INF/classes
in
myapp.jar
at position 0063
. B.class
from the nested jar can actually be found in
myapp.jar
at position 3452
, and C.class
is at position 3980
.
Armed with this information, we can load specific nested entries by seeking to the appropriate part of the outer jar. We do not need to unpack the archive, and we do not need to read all entry data into memory.
Spring Boot Loader strives to remain compatible with existing code and libraries.
org.springframework.boot.loader.jar.JarFile
extends from java.util.jar.JarFile
and
should work as a drop-in replacement. The getURL()
method returns a URL
that
opens a connection compatible with java.net.JarURLConnection
and can be used with Java’s
URLClassLoader
.
The org.springframework.boot.loader.Launcher
class is a special bootstrap class that
is used as an executable jar’s main entry point. It is the actual Main-Class
in your jar
file, and it is used to setup an appropriate URLClassLoader
and ultimately call your
main()
method.
There are three launcher subclasses (JarLauncher
, WarLauncher
, and
PropertiesLauncher
). Their purpose is to load resources (.class
files and so on.) from
nested jar files or war files in directories (as opposed to those explicitly on the
classpath). In the case of JarLauncher
and WarLauncher
, the nested paths are fixed.
JarLauncher
looks in BOOT-INF/lib/
, and WarLauncher
looks in WEB-INF/lib/
and
WEB-INF/lib-provided/
. You can add extra jars in those locations if you want more. The
PropertiesLauncher
looks in BOOT-INF/lib/
in your application archive by default, but
you can add additional locations by setting an environment variable called LOADER_PATH
or loader.path
in loader.properties
(which is a comma-separated list of directories,
archives, or directories within archives).
You need to specify an appropriate Launcher
as the Main-Class
attribute of
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
. The actual class that you want to launch (that is, the class that
contains a main
method) should be specified in the Start-Class
attribute.
The following example shows a typical MANIFEST.MF
for an executable jar file:
Main-Class: org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher Start-Class: com.mycompany.project.MyApplication
For a war file, it would be as follows:
Main-Class: org.springframework.boot.loader.WarLauncher Start-Class: com.mycompany.project.MyApplication

PropertiesLauncher
has a few special features that can be enabled with external
properties (System properties, environment variables, manifest entries, or
loader.properties
). The following table describes these properties:

The following rules apply to working with PropertiesLauncher
:
loader.properties
is searched for in loader.home
, then in the root of the
classpath, and then in classpath:/BOOT-INF/classes
. The first location where a file
with that name exists is used.loader.home
is the directory location of an additional properties file
(overriding the default) only when loader.config.location
is not specified.loader.path
can contain directories (which are scanned recursively for jar and zip
files), archive paths, a directory within an archive that is scanned for jar files (for
example, dependencies.jar!/lib
), or wildcard patterns (for the default JVM behavior).
Archive paths can be relative to loader.home
or anywhere in the file system with a
jar:file:
prefix.loader.path
(if empty) defaults to BOOT-INF/lib
(meaning a local directory or a
nested one if running from an archive). Because of this, PropertiesLauncher
behaves
the same as JarLauncher
when no additional configuration is provided.loader.path
can not be used to configure the location of loader.properties
(the
classpath used to search for the latter is the JVM classpath when PropertiesLauncher
is launched).loader.properties
, the exploded archive
manifest, and the archive manifest.You need to consider the following restrictions when working with a Spring Boot Loader packaged application:
ZipEntry
for a nested jar must be saved by using the ZipEntry.STORED
method. This
is required so that we can seek directly to individual content within the nested jar.
The content of the nested jar file itself can still be compressed, as can any other
entries in the outer jar.Thread.getContextClassLoader()
when loading classes
(most libraries and frameworks do so by default). Trying to load nested jar
classes with ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()
fails.
java.util.Logging
always uses the system classloader. For this reason, you should
consider a different logging implementation.If the preceding restrictions mean that you cannot use Spring Boot Loader, consider the following alternatives:
