Spring Cloud Config
Spring Cloud Config provides server and client-side support for externalized configuration in a distributed system.
Spring Cloud Config Quick Start Page
1. Preparation
Install Spring boot by following Spring boot getting started
Linux for example:
Install Groovy Environment Manager$ gvm install springboot$ spring --versionSpring Boot v1.2.5.RELEASE
A simple sample for Spring boot as below:
package hello;import org.springframework.boot.*;import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.*;import org.springframework.stereotype.*;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;@Controller@EnableAutoConfigurationpublic class SampleController {@RequestMapping("/")@ResponseBodyString home() {return "Hello World!";}public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {SpringApplication.run(SampleController.class, args);}}
Git Clone the Sample Code of Srping Cloud Config

2. The basic architecture of Spring Cloud Config

Setup Tips
- Start Config Server first
- Then start client app.
- After Config Server is down, Cient still works.
- Restarting Config Server will re-clone git properties
- use POST method instead of GET for curl command above
Setup Config Server
1. Start and visit config server
$ cd spring-cloud-config-server$ mvn spring-boot:run$ curl localhost:8888/foo/default$ curl localhost:8888/foo/development{"name":"development","label":"master","propertySources":[{"name":"https://github.com/scratches/config-repo/foo-development.properties","source":{"bar":"spam"}}, # The priority of foo-development.properties is higher than foo.properties{"name":"https://github.com/scratches/config-repo/foo.properties","source":{"foo":"bar"}}]}
localhost:8888/foo/development is following this convention:
/{application}/{profile}[/{label}]
application: foo
profile: development (environment like develop/qa/release/production)
label: "master" (master branch by default)

Explain more below.
2. Configurations in config server
/spring-cloud-config-server$ tree.├── pom.xml├── src│ ├── main│ │ ├── java│ │ └── resources│ │ ├── configserver.yml
The content of the configserver.yml
info:component: Config Serverspring:application:name: configserverjmx:default_domain: cloud.config.servercloud:config:server:git:uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-reporepos:- patterns: multi-repo-demo-*uri: https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-reposerver:port: 8888management:context_path: /admin
The content of the git repository https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo:
.├── application.yml├── bar.properties├── configserver.yml├── eureka.yml├── foo-development.properties├── foo.properties├── processor.yml├── samplebackendservice-development.properties├── samplebackendservice.properties├── samplefrontendservice.properties├── stores.yml└── zuul.properties
Will be cloned to /tmp/config-repo-{id} in Linux
localhost:8888/foo/development refer to foo-development.properties
localhost:8888/foo/default refer to foo.properties
Updating git repostiory will reflect to localhost:8888 like /tmp/config-repo-{id}
3. Client Side Usage
Simple structure for client side.
├── pom.xml├── src│ ├── main│ │ ├── java│ │ │ └── sample│ │ │ └── Application.java│ │ └── resources│ │ ├── application.yml│ │ └── bootstrap.yml
$ cd spring-cloud-config-sample$ mvn spring-boot:run
spring-cloud-config-sample/pom.xml

Main Client class:
spring-cloud-config-sample/src/main/java/sample/Application.java
@Configuration@EnableAutoConfigurationpublic class Application {public static void main(String[] args) {SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);}}
spring-cloud-config-sample/src/main/resources/bootstrap.yml
spring:application:name: barcloud:config:env: default # optionallabel: master # optionaluri: http://localhost:${config.port:8888}
where it specifies application name bar and the uri of spring cloud config server.
$ curl localhost:8080/env{"profiles":[],"configService:https://github.com/scratches/config-repo/bar.properties":{"foo":"bar"},"servletContextInitParams":{},"systemProperties":{...},...}
Usage:
1. Get/Refresh properties (Fetch value on request API call)
$ curl localhost:8080/env/foobar$ vi /tmp/config-repo-{id}/bar.properties.. change value of "bars"$ curl -X POST localhost:8080/refresh["foo"]$ curl localhost:8080/env/foobars
2. Usage of ClientAppClass
package demo;import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;@EnableAutoConfiguration@ComponentScan@RestControllerpublic class ClientApp {@Value("${bar:World!}")String bar;@RequestMapping("/")String hello() {return "Hello " + bar + "!";}public static void main(String[] args) {SpringApplication.run(ClientApp.class, args);}}
You can also see a single property.
$ curl http://localhost:8080/env/bar
123456
When you access to the controller,
$ curl http://localhost:8080
Hello 123456!
you can find the property on Config Server is injected.
