===== Custom ``grab'' metadata
|
|
|
|
|
Spring Boot provides a new annotation, `@GrabMetadata` that can be used to provide custom
|
|
|
|
|
dependency metadata that overrides Spring Boot's defaults. This metadata is specified by
|
|
|
|
|
using the new annotation to provide the coordinates of one or more properties files. For example
|
|
|
|
|
`@GrabMetadata(['com.example:versions-one:1.0.0', 'com.example.versions-two:1.0.0'])`. The
|
|
|
|
|
using this annotation to provide the coordinates of one or more properties files (deployed
|
|
|
|
|
to a Maven repository with a "type" identifier: "properties"). For example
|
|
|
|
|
`@GrabMetadata(['com.example:versions-one:1.0.0', 'com.example.versions-two:1.0.0'])` will
|
|
|
|
|
pick up files in a Maven repository in "com/example/versions-*/1.0.0/versions-*-1.0.0.properties". The
|
|
|
|
|
properties files are applied in the order that they're specified. In the example above, this
|
|
|
|
|
means that properties in `versions-two` will override properties in `versions-one`. Each entry
|
|
|
|
|
in each properties file must be in the form `group:module=version`. You can use `@GrabMetadata`
|
|
|
|
|
anywhere that you can use `@Grab`, however, to ensure consistent ordering of the metadata, you
|
|
|
|
|
can only use `@GrabMetadata` at most once in your application.
