Since SpringBoot is opinionated, it connects to my Oracle DB using configuration that I didn't have to do. Now, I want to see these config values, how can I do that?
I tried the "env" and "info" actuator endpoints, but they didn't have any information on this
TIA
In your app if you already exposed all actuator endpoints or specific configprops endpoint, you can use "configprops".
<host>/actuator/configprops
Other than the jdbc connection url is there any configuration you specificly wanted to see? perhaps you can try to look at the logging information but it will show a lot more than just configuration values, but if you try to find list of configuration that Spring Boot set here is the reference link

So the title says pretty much it all. I have a spring-boot based Microservices and I need to supply everything which usually goes to application.properties via AWS AppConfig. How can I do this? I've created a sample project, but how can I do this for the database URL?
If I had correctly understand the question then you need to configure the application properties through the AWS Config. On high level, AWS Config has Configuration Profile where you can store the configurations. The config profile can be in YML, JSON or text document format. Here is the official documentation of AWS config.
I made a new Spring Boot project using the Spring Initializr. I'm building an On-premise backend so what I'm trying to achieve is that when the user opens the jar executable and the server starts, he should be able to configure the database connection by going to localhost:8080/ in his web browser. Basically the index.html will have a form with 4 fields for IP Address, Database Name, UserName and Password. When the form is submitted spring will try to connect to the database with the provided information.
I have all my entities, repositories and controllers but currently the only way i can connect to a database is with the application.properties file, but since the user wont have access to the source, there should be a way for him to configure his database.
Thanks for your time!
I would suggest to use the Spring cloud Config server to store database related properties which is capable of picking up configuration at run time. Although it is typically configured with a Git repository, you can store them locally as pointed out in this thread.
I know there is a similar kind of question exist but if works only for glassfish server.
Listing all deployed rest endpoints (spring-boot, jersey)
Is it possible to list all my configured rest-endpoints with spring boot? The actuator lists all existing paths on startup, I want something similar for my custom services, so I can check on startup if all paths are configured correctly and use this info for client calls.
How do I do this? I use #Path/#GET annotations on my service beans and register them via ResourceConfig#registerClasses.
Is there a way to query the Config for all Paths?
Update2: I want to have something like
GET /rest/mycontroller/info
POST /res/mycontroller/update
...
In my opinion, you are already using the right tool (actuator) to answer to your request.
Actuator gives you all the rest method running and you can configure it on your own, by disabling/enabling specific endpoints
If you have a look on the documentationprobably it can help you.
In any case, the default configuration of actuator display the endpoints (built-in in Intellij for your development).
I create a Spring Cloud Config server. I put security in my application.properties file
security.basic.enabled=false
security.user.name=1user
security.user.password=123
When I try to log to the application with the name and password, I always get
Bad credentials
I tried to put enabled to true but get same result. I saw in the command line then spring generate random password like
69dfeb52-6320-4085-bcd1-22ee7a3676a2
if I use with with username user, I can connect.

Hi Robert Trudel
If you are using Spring Boot 2.x, then you need to prefix these properties with spring
as shown below:
spring.security.user.name=1user
spring.security.user.password=123
Also, you do not need this security.basic.enabled=false.
Hope this helps!
I have spring web application (not spring boot) running in AWS. I am trying to create centralized configuration server. How to refresh the spring-cloud-client after the changing the properties? As per tutorial
Actuator endpoint by sending an empty HTTP POST to the client’s refresh endpoint, http://localhost:8080/refresh, and then confirm it worked by reviewing the http://localhost:8080/message endpoint.
But my aws Ec2 instances are behind the loadbalancer so i can't invoke the client url. I didn't understand the netflix Eureka and Ribbon much but it seems like adding another level of load balancer in the client side. I don't like this approach. Just to change a property i don't want to make the existing project unnecessarily complex. Is there any other way? or Am I misunderstood Eureka/Ribbon usage?
I have looked at the spring-cloud-config-client-without-spring-boot, spring-cloud-config-client-without-auto-configuration none of them have answer. First thread was answered in 2015. Wondering is there any update?
To get the configuration properties from a config server. You can do a http request. Example:
From the documentation we can see:
/{application}/{profile}[/{label}]
/{application}-{profile}.yml <- example
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.yml
/{application}-{profile}.properties
/{label}/{application}-{profile}.properties
So if you would do a request to http://localhost:8080/applicationName-activeProfile.yml you would receive the properties in .yml format for the application with that name and active profile. Spring boot config clients would automatically provide these values but you will have to provide em manually.
You don't need Eureka/Ribbon for this to work, it's a separate component.

Maybe you could even use spring-cloud-config but I'm not sure what extra configuration is needed without spring-boot.
