Older documentation: Spring Cloud config [editor]
For an explanation about spring cloud config see http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/spring-cloud-config.html
1. Client
Spring config client is integrated in the blueriq-web. .
Client config options
bootstrap.properties
spring: cloud: config: uri: http://localhost:8888 username: <cloud-server-username> (*) password: <cloud-server-password> (*) failFast: true retry: max-attempts: 10 initial-interval: 5000 max-interval: 10000
* To make a connection to cloud config server, see #gitbasicauth
application.properties will not contain any property meant for the config client
pom.xml needs the following dependencies
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.retry</groupId> <artifactId>spring-retry</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-aop</artifactId> </dependency>
2. Server
Spring config server will run separately and handle the property files. The client will communicate with the server to get the property files.
The property files will either come from the file-system or use GIT.
bootstrap.properties
encrypt: failOnError: false key: "IGotTheKey" key-store: secret: "IGotTheSecret" spring: cloud: config: server: bootstrap: true (*)
* Indicates that the server should read it’s own application.properties from the remote config server (GIT or filesystem)
bootstrap.properties - extended for using the file-system
spring: profiles: active: native cloud: config: server: native: searchLocations: file:D:/local-properties
bootstrap.properties - extended for using GIT - basic authentication
spring: cloud: config: server: git: uri: https://git.blueriq.com/config-repo.git basedir: target/config username: <git_username> password: <git_password>
application.properties
server: port: 8888 security: user: name: <username> (*) password: <password> (*) management: context-path: /admin
* Username and password that will be used for the client to connect to this server.
