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`.
