Previously, the meta-data annotation processor was taking the first
setter that match the property name it has to handle. Contrary to
getters that are enforced by a return type (no argument), multiple
setter candidates may exist.
If a property's type got narrowed over time, the original setter may
have been marked as Deprecated. As the annotation processor takes the
first setter that matches based on the name only, it may pick up the
deprecated one and therefore mark the property as being (wrongly)
deprecatede in the meta-data.
It turns out that checking for the actual type of the setter parameter
brought a side effect: some primitive properties may use the primitive
or the Wrapper counter part. This commit not only look at the proper
setter based on the type but also fallback on the wrapper (or) primitive
if necessary.
Closes gh-4338
Previously, manual meta-data were added to the existing set of entries
which could lead to duplicates if a manual entry is meant to complement
a property that is detected via the processor.
We now match the name and type of the item against the auto-detected
entries. If no match is found, we add the extra entry as we did before.
If a match is found we override the description, default value and
deprecation information.
Closes gh-3562
The annotation processor detects `@ConfigurationProperties` bean or
method definition and merges manual meta-data. The former step will fail
with a NPE if the annotation is not present on the classpath. This could
happen if the annotation processor is added to a module that is not
actually using Spring Boot.
We now have a defensive check that skips that steps but still attempts to
merge manual meta-data if present.
Closes gh-3720
Add a new @DeprecatedConfigurationProperties annotation which can be
used by the `ConfigurationMetadataAnnotationProcessor` to generating
meta-data deprecated blocks.
Fixes gh-3543
Previously, an item could only have a 'deprecated' boolean flag to
indicate that the property is deprecated. It is desirable to provide an
additional description for the deprecation as well as the name of the
property to use instead.
The `deprecated` boolean flag is now supported. Instead, a `deprecated`
object can be specified with two optional attributes: `reason` to provide
an explanation for the deprecation and `replacement` to refer to the
property that should be used instead. If none of them is present, an
empty deprecation object should be set.
For backward compatibility, the `deprecated` field is still set.
Deprecation information can only set via manual meta-data.
Closes gh-3449
If a field is initialized via a factory method taking a single argument,
we can relatively safely consider that said argument is a good
representation of its default value. This is typically the case for
Charset or MimeType instances.
We now make sure to detect such use case (i.e. method argument with a
single argument).
Closes gh-3482
Liquibase has a `changeLog` property that is definitely used as a
`Resource` but cannot be defined as such as the original String value
should be kept against an API we don't control.
Update the tests also to make it more clear that if hints are added
against a property that is detected automatically, said property still
keeps all its auto-discovered capabilities.
Closes gh-3457
Make sure to fail the build with a proper compilation error message if
the user-defined meta-data are invalid. For now, this takes care of the
JSON format but other checks may be added in the future.
Closes gh-3329
Improve the "hints" section of the metadata so that each hint can provide
the reference to a value provider.
A value provider defines how a tool can discover the potential values of
a property based on the context. The provider is identifed by a name and
may have an arbitrary number of parameters.
Closes gh-3303
Create a new section in the meta-data called "hints" where users can
provide hints about a given property. The most basic use case for now
is to provide a list of values that a property can have. Each value may
have a description.
This sample JSON provides a basic example for a property called `foo.mode`
that exposes 3 values: "auto", "basic" and "advanced".
```
"hints": [
{
"id": "foo.mode",
"values": [
{
"value": "auto",
"description": "Some smart description."
},
{
"name": "basic"
},
{
"name": "advanced"
}
]
}
]
```
This information can be read by tools (such as IDE) and offer an
auto-completion with the list of values.
Closes gh-2054
Update ConfigurationMetadataAnnotationProcessor so that `prefix` is
only obtained when the annotation is not null. Also improve exception
message by including the element.
The main change in this commit is to introduce a new BuildHandler
abstraction. A BuildHandler is responsible for producing the metadata
for a build. Two implementations are provided; one for standard builds
and one for incremental builds. This change means that the annotation
processor is no longer concerned with the two different build types
and can use the same logic in each case.
The code for reading and writing metadata files has also been moved
out into a separate class, MetadataStore, to allow it to be easily
utilised from multiple places.
Closes gh-2313
This commit udpdates the metadata annotation processor so that change
data from an incremental build is merged with the metadata from the
previous build.
Closes gh-2321
This commit adds support for configuring the XA DataSource and
ConnectionFactory pools created by Atomikos and Bitronix via the
environment. The property prefixes vary depending on the transaction
manager that’s in use. They are:
Bitronix:
- spring.jta.bitronix.datasource
- spring.jta.bitronix.connectionfactory
Atomikos:
- spring.jta.atomikos.datasource
- spring.jta.atomikos.connectionfactory
The configuration processor has been updated to ignore
javax.jms.XAConnectionFactory and javax.sql.XADataSource as neither of
these types can be created via property binding.
Closes gh-2027
This test covers the code path that caused gh-2361 and also checks that,
when an additional metadata file is found, it’s correctly merged with
the other metadata.
Closes gh-2361
When running in Eclipse, by default Gradle builds its output into a
folder named bin. This commit update the annotation processor to remove
the failure assumption that the output will always be located beneath
a folder named classes.
Closes gh-2369
See gh-2361
Update the @SupportedSourceVersion annotation to RELEASE_8 since it
should indicate "the latest source version an annotation processor
supports".
Fixes gh-2302
Update ConfigurationMetadataAnnotationProcessor to find the additional
metadata json file using createResource rather than getResource. Prior
to this commit the file could be skipped when multiple files were
contained on the classpath.
Fixes gh-2271
Previously, no configuration properties were discovered on a class using
lombok instead of regular getters/setters.
This commit adds a support for some of the lombok annotations,
specifically that is @Data, @Getter and @Setter. Provides the same
semantic as what lombok is generating.
Closes gh-2114
Previously, non camel case properties were wrongly resolved, i.e.
getFOO() leading to a 'f-o-o'. While unusual, underscores can also be
added to a property name. In that case, the hyphen should not be added
as the binder consider this to be a single "word". Typically setFoo_Bar
on the "something" prefix is mapped using "something.foo_bar".
All these cases are now handled properly, generating the target name that
the binder expects.
Fixes gh-2118
flyway.init and flyway.target are two options that are missing from the
meta-data following the change in f0bc3c0. It turns out that both these
properties have an additional setter taking a String so they shouldn't be
excluded after all
Closes gh-2088
Previously, a property holding an array did not have a proper default
value in the meta-data even though the related field was initialized
properly.
An explicit support for arrays has been added. The "defaultValue" now
holds the default value for singular properties or an array of values for
array-based properties. If the value is initalized with an empty array,
the default value is an empty array as well.
Closes gh-1996
Previously, any valid property was added to the meta-data of the current
group. This can be annoying for types that are not meant to be bound from
a simple string value. ClassLoader is one example.
A list of well-known types has been added: if the property type matches
an element of this list, it is ignored.
Fixes gh-2012
Previously, any property defined in a @Deprecated class were not marked
as deprecated as only the getter or field was inspected for the
annotation.
An additional check on the class has been added to handle this case.
Fixes gh-2014
Update the ConfigurationMetadataAnnotationProcessor nested class
algorithm to prevent inner classes being added as both groups and
properties.
Fixes gh-1975
Previously, an Enum that is defined as an inner class of a
@ConfigurationProperties pojo was wrongly detected as an nested group.
This case is now handled explicitly and covered by a test.
Fixes gh-1971
Update TypeElementMembers to correctly detect builder style setters.
The previous logic could fail because of the crazy way that TypeMirror
implements its equals() method.
Fixes gh-1859
See gh-1854
Previously, a setter method that was returning the current instance was
not identified as a "setter" by the configuration processor. As a result,
builder-style APIs were not covered by the configuration metadata.
If a setter returns either void or the current class, it is now
recognized as a valid setter.
Fixes gh-1854
Update ConfigurationMetadataAnnotationProcessor to ensure that only
local `additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` files are merged
with the final output.
See gh-1830
Update ConfigurationMetadataAnnotationProcessor so that it gets called
even if the source code doesn't include any @ConfigurationProperties
items.
See gh-1830
Add a @NestedConfigurationProperty annotation which can be used to
customize how configuration mete-data is generated.
Prior to this commit only inner-classes where considered nested
(see Tomcat in ServerProperties). Using this new annotation, the Ssl
property in ServerProperties can be detected as well.
See gh-1001
Update `ConfigurationMetadataAnnotationProcessor` to include the
'defaultValue' of a property when possible. For example the
'defaultValue' or 'server.port' is '8080'.
Default values are detected by inspecting the field assignments of
@ConfigurationProperties items. In order to detect field values some
internals of the Java compiler are used. To save a dependency on
'tools.jar' internal javac classes are accessed using reflection.
See gh-1001
Adds an annotation processor to generates a JSON meta-data file at
compile time from @ConfigurationProperties items. Each meta-data file
can include an array or 'properties' and 'groups'.
A 'property' is a single item that may appear in a Spring Boot
'application.properties' file with a given value. For example,
'server.port' and 'server.context-path' are properties. Each property
may optionally include 'type' and 'description' attributes to provide
the data type (e.g. `java.lang.Integer`, `java.lang.String`) and
some short documentation (taken from the field javadoc) about what the
property is for. For consistency, the type of a primitive is translated
to its wrapper counterpart, i.e. `boolean` becomes `java.lang.Boolean`.
A 'group' provides a higher level grouping of properties. For example
the 'server.port' and 'server.context-path' properties are in the
'server' group.
Both 'property' and 'group' items may additional have 'sourceType' and
'sourceMethod' attributes to indicate the source that contributed them.
Users may use `META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json`
to manually provide additionally meta-data that is not covered by
@ConfigurationProperties objects. The contents of this file will be
read and merged with harvested items. The complete meta-data file is
finally written to `META-INF/spring-configuration-metadata.json`.
