User can add (a single) beans{} DSL declaration (see GroovyBeanDefinitionReader
in Spring 4 for more detail) anywhere at the top level of an application source
file. It will be compiled to a closure and fed in to the application context
through a GroovyBeanDefinitionReader. Cool!
The example spring-boot-cli/samples/beans.groovy runs in an integration test
and passes (see SampleIntegrationTests).
Reinstate initializeWithSensibleDefaults() on AbstractLoggingSystem
beforeInitialize(). This is required to ensure no superfluous logging
output occurs when starting up a spring boot application from the
command line.
It appears that commit e9c649dfb2
modified the logic in an attempt to prevent double initialization.
fixes gh-174
Remove system properties when testing strict property binding. This
prevents test failures that can occur if the local environment happens
to have certain environment variables defined.
You can contribute additional HttpMessageConverters
by simply adding beans of that type in a Spring Boot
context. If a bean you add is of a type that would have been included
by default anyway (like MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter for JSON
conversions) then it will replace the default value. A convenience
bean is provided of type MessageConverters (always available if you
use the default MVC configuration) which has some useful methods to
access the default and user-enhanced message converters (useful, for
example if you want to manually inject them into a custom
RestTemplate).
There are also some convenient configuration shortcuts for Jackson2.
The smallest change that might work is to just add beans of type
Module to your context. They will be registered with the default
ObjectMapper and then injected into the default message
converter. In addition, if your context contains any beans of type
ObjectMapper then all of the Module beans will be registered with
all of the mappers.
