= Spring Cloud Square
image::https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-cloud-square/workflows/Build/badge.svg?style=svg["Build",link="https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-cloud-square/actions"]
https://pivotal.io/platform-as-a-service/migrating-to-cloud-native-application-architectures-ebook[Cloud Native] is a style of application development that encourages easy adoption of best practices in the areas of continuous delivery and value-driven development.
A related discipline is that of building https://12factor.net/[12-factor Applications], in which development practices are aligned with delivery and operations goals -- for instance, by using declarative programming and management and monitoring.
Spring Cloud facilitates these styles of development in a number of specific ways.
The starting point is a set of features to which all components in a distributed system need easy access.
Many of those features are covered by https://projects.spring.io/spring-boot[Spring Boot], on which Spring Cloud builds. Some more features are delivered by Spring Cloud as two libraries: Spring Cloud Context and Spring Cloud Commons.
Spring Cloud Context provides utilities and special services for the ApplicationContext
of a Spring Cloud application (bootstrap context, encryption, refresh scope, and environment endpoints). Spring Cloud Commons is a set of abstractions and common classes used in different Spring Cloud implementations (such Spring Cloud Consul).
If you get an exception due to "Illegal key size" and you use Sun's JDK, you need to install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files.
See the following links for more information:
Extract the files into the JDK/jre/lib/security folder for whichever version of JRE/JDK x64/x86 you use.
== Building
:jdkversion: 17
=== Basic Compile and Test
To build the source you will need to install JDK {jdkversion}.
Spring Cloud uses Maven for most build-related activities, and you
should be able to get off the ground quite quickly by cloning the
project you are interested in and typing
$ ./mvnw install
NOTE: You can also install Maven (>=3.3.3) yourself and run the mvn
command
in place of ./mvnw
in the examples below. If you do that you also
might need to add -P spring
if your local Maven settings do not
contain repository declarations for spring pre-release artifacts.
NOTE: Be aware that you might need to increase the amount of memory
available to Maven by setting a MAVEN_OPTS
environment variable with
a value like -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
. We try to cover this in
the .mvn
configuration, so if you find you have to do it to make a
build succeed, please raise a ticket to get the settings added to
source control.
The projects that require middleware (i.e. Redis) for testing generally
require that a local instance of Docker is installed and running.
=== Documentation
The spring-cloud-build module has a "docs" profile, and if you switch
that on it will try to build asciidoc sources from
src/main/asciidoc
. As part of that process it will look for a
README.adoc
and process it by loading all the includes, but not
parsing or rendering it, just copying it to ${main.basedir}
(defaults to ${basedir}
, i.e. the root of the project). If there are
any changes in the README it will then show up after a Maven build as
a modified file in the correct place. Just commit it and push the change.
=== Working with the code
If you don't have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use
https://www.springsource.com/developer/sts[Spring Tools Suite] or
https://eclipse.org[Eclipse] when working with the code. We use the
https://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipse] eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs and tools
should also work without issue as long as they use Maven 3.3.3 or better.
==== Activate the Spring Maven profile
Spring Cloud projects require the 'spring' Maven profile to be activated to resolve
the spring milestone and snapshot repositories. Use your preferred IDE to set this
profile to be active, or you may experience build errors.
==== Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse
We recommend the https://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipse] eclipse plugin when working with
eclipse. If you don't already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse
marketplace".
NOTE: Older versions of m2e do not support Maven 3.3, so once the
projects are imported into Eclipse you will also need to tell
m2eclipse to use the right profile for the projects. If you
see many different errors related to the POMs in the projects, check
that you have an up to date installation. If you can't upgrade m2e,
add the "spring" profile to your settings.xml
. Alternatively you can
copy the repository settings from the "spring" profile of the parent
pom into your settings.xml
.
==== Importing into eclipse without m2eclipse
If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project metadata using the
following command:
[indent=0]
$ ./mvnw eclipse:eclipse
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting import existing projects
from the file
menu.
== Contributing
:spring-cloud-build-branch: master
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license,
and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github
tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want
to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but
follow the guidelines below.
=== Sign the Contributor License Agreement
Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the
https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[Contributor License Agreement].
Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main
repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an
author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and
given the ability to merge pull requests.
=== Code of Conduct
This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/code-of-conduct.adoc[code of
conduct]. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report
unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io.
=== Code Conventions and Housekeeping
None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be
added after the original pull request but before a merge.
- Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. If you use Eclipse
you can import formatter settings using the
eclipse-code-formatter.xml
file from the
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-dependencies-parent/eclipse-code-formatter.xml[Spring
Cloud Build] project. If using IntelliJ, you can use the
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6546[Eclipse Code Formatter
Plugin] to import the same file.
- Make sure all new
.java
files to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an
@author
tag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is
for.
- Add the ASF license header comment to all new
.java
files (copy from existing files
in the project)
- Add yourself as an
@author
to the .java files that you modify substantially (more
than cosmetic changes).
- Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements.
- A few unit tests would help a lot as well -- someone has to do it.
- If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or
other target branch in the main project).
- When writing a commit message please follow https://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html[these conventions],
if you are fixing an existing issue please add
Fixes gh-XXXX
at the end of the commit
message (where XXXX is the issue number).
=== Checkstyle
Spring Cloud Build comes with a set of checkstyle rules. You can find them in the spring-cloud-build-tools
module. The most notable files under the module are:
.spring-cloud-build-tools/
└── src
├── checkstyle
│ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml <3>
└── main
└── resources
├── checkstyle-header.txt <2>
└── checkstyle.xml <1>
<1> Default Checkstyle rules
<2> File header setup
<3> Default suppression rules
==== Checkstyle configuration
Checkstyle rules are *disabled by default*. To add checkstyle to your project just define the following properties and plugins.
.pom.xml
----
true <1>
true
<2>
true
<3>
<4>
io.spring.javaformat
spring-javaformat-maven-plugin
<5>
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-checkstyle-plugin
<5>
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-checkstyle-plugin
----
<1> Fails the build upon Checkstyle errors
<2> Fails the build upon Checkstyle violations
<3> Checkstyle analyzes also the test sources
<4> Add the Spring Java Format plugin that will reformat your code to pass most of the Checkstyle formatting rules
<5> Add checkstyle plugin to your build and reporting phases
If you need to suppress some rules (e.g. line length needs to be longer), then it's enough for you to define a file under `${project.root}/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml` with your suppressions. Example:
.projectRoot/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppresions.xml
----
----
It's advisable to copy the `${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.editorconfig` and `${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.springformat` to your project. That way, some default formatting rules will be applied. You can do so by running this script:
```bash
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/.editorconfig -o .editorconfig
$ touch .springformat
```
=== IDE setup
==== Intellij IDEA
In order to setup Intellij you should import our coding conventions, inspection profiles and set up the checkstyle plugin.
The following files can be found in the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/tree/master/spring-cloud-build-tools[Spring Cloud Build] project.
.spring-cloud-build-tools/
----
└── src
├── checkstyle
│ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml <3>
└── main
└── resources
├── checkstyle-header.txt <2>
├── checkstyle.xml <1>
└── intellij
├── Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml <4>
└── Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml <5>
----
<1> Default Checkstyle rules
<2> File header setup
<3> Default suppression rules
<4> Project defaults for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules
<5> Project style conventions for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules
.Code style
image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-code-style.png[Code style]
Go to `File` -> `Settings` -> `Editor` -> `Code style`. There click on the icon next to the `Scheme` section. There, click on the `Import Scheme` value and pick the `Intellij IDEA code style XML` option. Import the `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml` file.
.Inspection profiles
image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-inspections.png[Code style]
Go to `File` -> `Settings` -> `Editor` -> `Inspections`. There click on the icon next to the `Profile` section. There, click on the `Import Profile` and import the `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml` file.
.Checkstyle
To have Intellij work with Checkstyle, you have to install the `Checkstyle` plugin. It's advisable to also install the `Assertions2Assertj` to automatically convert the JUnit assertions
image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-checkstyle.png[Checkstyle]
Go to `File` -> `Settings` -> `Other settings` -> `Checkstyle`. There click on the `+` icon in the `Configuration file` section. There, you'll have to define where the checkstyle rules should be picked from. In the image above, we've picked the rules from the cloned Spring Cloud Build repository. However, you can point to the Spring Cloud Build's GitHub repository (e.g. for the `checkstyle.xml` : `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle.xml`). We need to provide the following variables:
- `checkstyle.header.file` - please point it to the Spring Cloud Build's, `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt` file either in your cloned repo or via the `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txt` URL.
- `checkstyle.suppressions.file` - default suppressions. Please point it to the Spring Cloud Build's, `spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml` file either in your cloned repo or via the `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/master/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml` URL.
- `checkstyle.additional.suppressions.file` - this variable corresponds to suppressions in your local project. E.g. you're working on `spring-cloud-contract`. Then point to the `project-root/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml` folder. Example for `spring-cloud-contract` would be: `/home/username/spring-cloud-contract/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml`.
IMPORTANT: Remember to set the `Scan Scope` to `All sources` since we apply checkstyle rules for production and test sources.
=== Duplicate Finder
Spring Cloud Build brings along the `basepom:duplicate-finder-maven-plugin`, that enables flagging duplicate and conflicting classes and resources on the java classpath.
==== Duplicate Finder configuration
Duplicate finder is *enabled by default* and will run in the `verify` phase of your Maven build, but it will only take effect in your project if you add the `duplicate-finder-maven-plugin` to the `build` section of the projecst's `pom.xml`.
.pom.xml
[source,xml]
----
org.basepom.maven
duplicate-finder-maven-plugin
----
For other properties, we have set defaults as listed in the https://github.com/basepom/duplicate-finder-maven-plugin/wiki[plugin documentation].
You can easily override them but setting the value of the selected property prefixed with `duplicate-finder-maven-plugin`. For example, set `duplicate-finder-maven-plugin.skip` to `true` in order to skip duplicates check in your build.
If you need to add `ignoredClassPatterns` or `ignoredResourcePatterns` to your setup, make sure to add them in the plugin configuration section of your project:

== Quick Start
:leveloffset: +1
This quick start walks through using https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#spring-cloud-loadbalancer[SC LoadBalancer] https://square.github.io/okhttp/[OkHttpClient] integration, load-balanced OkHttpClient-based Retrofit clients, and load-balanced https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/spring-boot-features.html#boot-features-webclient[WebClient]-based https://square.github.io/retrofit/[Retrofit] clients.
== OkHttpClient with Spring Cloud LoadBalancer
First, add the `spring-cloud-square-okhttp` dependency to your project:
[source,xml]
----
org.springframework.cloud
spring-cloud-square-okhttp
0.4.1
----
Then create a `@LoadBalanced`-annotated `OkHttpClient.Builder` bean:
[source,java]
----
@Configuration
class OkHttpClientConfig{
@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public OkHttpClient.Builder okHttpClientBuilder() {
return new OkHttpClient.Builder();
}
}
----
Now you can use the `serviceId` or virtual hostname rather than an actual `host:port` in your requests -- SC LoadBalancer resolves it by selecting one of the available service instances.
[source,java]
----
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("http://serviceId/hello").build();
Response response = builder.build().newCall(request).execute();
----
== Retrofit with OkHttpClient and Spring Cloud LoadBalancer
First, add the `spring-cloud-square-retrofit` and `spring-cloud-square-okhttp` dependencies to your project:
[source,xml]
----
org.springframework.cloud
spring-cloud-square-retrofit
0.4.1
org.springframework.cloud
spring-cloud-square-okhttp
0.4.1
----
Use the `@EnableRetrofitClients` annotation to let us automatically instantiate and inject Retrofit clients for you. Then create a `@LoadBalanced`-annotated `OkHttpClient.Builder` bean to be used under the hood:
[source,java]
----
@Configuration
@EnableRetrofitClients
class OkHttpClientConfig {
@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public OkHttpClient.Builder okHttpClientBuilder() {
return new OkHttpClient.Builder();
}
}
----
Create a Retrofit client and annotate it with `@RetrofitClient`, passing the `serviceId` of your service as argument (the annotation can also be used to pass a custom configuration that contains user-crated interceptors for the Retrofit client):
[source,java]
----
@RetrofitClient("serviceId")
interface HelloClient {
@GET("/")
Call
hello();
}
----
Make sure to use Retrofit method annotations, such as `@GET("/")`.
You can now inject the Retrofit client and use it to run load-balanced calls (by using `serviceId` instead of actual `host:port`):
[source,java]
----
class AService {
@Autowired
HelloClient client;
public String hello() throws IOException {
return client.hello().execute().body();
}
}
----
We created a full https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-square-retrofit-web[sample for load-balanced-OkHttpClient-based Retrofit clients].
== Retrofit with WebClient and Spring Cloud LoadBalancer
First, add the `spring-cloud-square-retrofit` and `spring-boot-starter-webflux` starter dependencies to your project:
[source,xml]
----
org.springframework.cloud
spring-cloud-square-retrofit
0.4.1
org.springframework.boot
spring-boot-starter-webflux
----
Use the `@EnableRetrofitClients` annotation to let us automatically instantiate and inject Retrofit clients for you. Then create a https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-commons/docs/current/reference/html/#webclinet-loadbalancer-client[`@LoadBalanced`-annotated `WebClient.Builder` bean] to be used under the hood:
[source,java]
----
@Configuration
@EnableRetrofitClients
class OkHttpClientConfig {
@Bean
@LoadBalanced
public WebClient.Builder webClientBuilder() {
return WebClient.builder();
}
}
----
Create a Retrofit client and annotate it with `@RetrofitClient`, passing the `serviceId` of your service as argument:
[source,java]
----
@RetrofitClient("serviceId")
interface HelloClient {
@GET("/")
Mono hello();
}
----
Make sure to use Retrofit method annotations, such as `@GET("/")`.
You can now inject the Retrofit client and use it to run load-balanced calls (by using `serviceId` instead of actual `host:port`):
[source,java]
----
class AService {
@Autowired
HelloClient client;
public Mono hello() throws IOException {
return client.hello();
}
}
----
We created a full https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-square-retrofit-webclient[sample for load-balanced-WebClient-based Retrofit clients].
TIP: As the currently available release is a milestone, you need to add the Spring Milestone repository link to your projects for all the examples presented in this blog entry:
[source,xml]
----
spring-milestones
https://repo.spring.io/milestone
----
We recommend using dependency management for other Spring Cloud dependencies:
[source,xml]
----
org.springframework.cloud
spring-cloud-dependencies
${spring-cloud.version}
pom
import

== OkHttpClient integration with Spring Cloud
This module supplies integration with Square's [`OkHttpClient`](https://square.github.io/okhttp/) and [Spring Cloud LoadBalancer](https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/spring-cloud-loadbalancer).
An application interceptor is added to the `OkHttpClient` created by auto-configuration which resolves the scheme, host, and port from Spring Cloud LoadBalancer and rewrites the URL.
By supporting `OkHttpClient`, it enables Square's [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/) to use Spring Cloud LoadBalancer as well.
See [`OkHttpLoadBalancerInterceptorTests`](https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-cloud-square/blob/main/spring-cloud-square-okhttp/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/square/okhttp/loadbalancer/OkHttpLoadBalancerInterceptorTests.java) for Spring Cloud LoadBalancer samples.
== Spring WebClient
Support was also added for Spring WebClient. This implements an `okhttp3.Call.Factory` that uses `WebClient` under the covers. This provides a fully non-blocking shim instead of using `okhttp3`.
See [`WebClientRetrofitTests`](https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-cloud-square/blob/main/spring-cloud-square-retrofit-webclient/src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/square/retrofit/webclient/WebClientRetrofitTests.java) for WebClient samples.
