what is used for the ThreadPoolTaskExecutor created by defaut in spring boot apps?
I configured a custom bean of type ThreadPoolTaskExecutor and I see that the original one is no longer present. I wonder if my settings (less threads) will affect something that I'm not using directly and not see directly.

I'm totally new to Kafka and terribly confused by this:
https://docs.spring.io/spring-kafka/reference/html/#with-java-configuration-no-spring-boot
I don't understand what that even means. What does "no spring boot mean" because that example sure as hell uses spring boot. I'm so confused....
EDIT
if I'm using SpringBoot and spring-kafka, should I have to manually create #Bean ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory as shown here. Most of the examples in the docs for setting up filtering / config / etc seem to use the "manual" configuration using #Bean. Is that "normal"? The docs are very confusing to me...especially this warning:
Spring for Apache Kafka is designed to be used in a Spring Application Context. For example, if you create the listener container yourself outside of a Spring context, not all functions will work unless you satisfy all of the …Aware interfaces that the container implements.
It's referring to the autowired configuration, as compared to putting each property in the config via HashMap/Properties in-code.
Also, it does not use #SpringBootApplication or SpringApplication.run, it just calls a regular main method using a hard-coded Config class.
Spring boot contains the functionality of AutoConfiguration
What this means is that spring boot when discovers some specific jar dependencies it knows, in the project, it automatically configures them to work on a basic level. This does not exist in simple Spring project where even if you add the dependency you have to also provide the configuration as to how it should work in your application.
This is also happening here with dependencies of Kafka. Therefore the documentation explains what more you have to configure if you don't have spring-boot with auto-configuration to make kafka work in a spring project.
Another question asked in comment is what happens in case you want some complex custom configuration instead of the automatic configuration provided while you are in a spring-boot app.
As documented
Auto-configuration tries to be as intelligent as possible and will
back-away as you define more of your own configuration. You can always
manually exclude() any configuration that you never want to apply (use
excludeName() if you don't have access to them). You can also exclude
them via the spring.autoconfigure.exclude property.
So if you want to have some complex configuration which is not automatically provided by spring-boot through some other mechanism like a spring-boot specific application property, then you can make your own configuration with your custom bean and then either automatic configuration from spring-boot for that class will back of as spring does several intelligent checks during application context set up or you will have to exclude the class from auto configuration manually.
In that case you could probably take as an example reference of how to register manually your complex configurations in spring boot what is documented on how to be done in non spring boot app. doc
Im trying to connect to Pivotal Cloud Cache server Regions.
I'm using #EnableClusterAware and trying to configure the client Regions via ClientRegionFactoryBean as below:
#Bean("clientRegion")
ClientRegionFactoryBean someClientRegion(GemFireCache gemfire) {
// ...
}
Either GemFireCache or ClientCache beans are not available with the annotation #EnableClusterAware. It's available only with #ClientCacheApplication.
Is there any annotations that needs to be used in conjunction with #EnableClusterAware so that GemFireCache gets injected?
Please help.
When Spring Boot for Apache Geode, or alternatively GemFire, (SBDG) is on the classpath of your Spring Boot application (see here), then SBDG auto-configuration will automatically create and configure a ClientCache instance for you (see here).
TIP: You can also review the Getting Stated Sample Guide and Source to see this behavior in action, for yourself. The Guide also talks about the use of the #EnableClusterAware annotation, here.
The #EnableClusterAware annotation is simply a development-time, SBDG annotation that enables you to switch between environments (e.g. local vs. managed, such as when pushing your Spring Boot application up to run in PCF, connected to PCC, and then testing locally in your IDE) without having to change any configuration (hence the goals).
The #EnableClusterAware annotation does not create any GemFire/Geode cache instances for you. Only SBDG's auto-configuration, or declaring an explicit SDG annotation (e.g. #ClientCacheApplication) will do that for you. Still, when using SBDG auto-configuration, you do not need an explicit SDG cache application annotation, like #ClientCacheApplication, since SBDG auto-configuration (again) creates and configures a ClientCache instance by default.
TIP: See the documentation on the #EnableClusterAware annotation for more details.
If ClientCache is not provided (auto-configured), then you are not:
Using SBDG, or rather do not have SBDG on the Spring Boot application classpath (see here)
Have not bootstrapped or configured and ran your Spring application with Spring Boot
Your Spring Boot application configuration is incorrect
You have explicitly disabled or overrode the SBDG auto-configuration
Etc.
One or more of these have to be true.
I have a legacy grails app running grails v3.2.9. We are currently using properties files for setting the dataSource configuration.
We have an internal system that stores our configurations that is loaded as a spring bean. I need to use this to hook it into our configuration system for compliance reasons. Is there any way to configure the dataSource from these at startup?
I work on a corporate Spring Boot extension that autoconfigures its own RabbitMQ clients. This extension (a starter) replaces the Spring Boot RabbitAutoConfiguration.
I know there are many ways to disable the RabbitAutoConfiguration :
in each Application (main) class with #EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = RabbitAutoConfiguration.class) or #SpringBootApplication(exclude = RabbitAutoConfiguration.class)
in the application.properties or yml file (externalized or within the jar), with spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.amqp.RabbitAutoConfiguration
I wonder if there is a way that the presence of my new starter disables the Spring Boot RabbitAutoConfiguration.
I tried some dirty things, such as putting an application.properties with the exclude property in the corporate starter module, but as Spring Boot only reads one in the classpath, it can be easily overriden by one used in a client application. I do not want to impose some restrictions.
I do not like the idea of each application adding the same exclusion one way or the other (properties or annotation).
Any ideas ?
EDIT
I need to configure several RabbitMQ ConnectionFactory and RestTemplate within the same application.
If you want to truly replace the standard RabbitAutoConfiguration by yours, you just need to add #AutoconfigureBefore(RabbitAutoConfiguration.class) on your own auto-configuration to teach Spring Boot to process yours before the standard one.
If it is a replacement, yours will register beans that the standard auto-configuration will detect and it will back-off the same way as if you would have defined them manually.
Having said that, why are you doing this? I'd rather complement the existing auto-configuration rather than replacing the standard one. Is there a problem with the standard one? If so, we'd love to hear about it and adapt the code so that you don't have to fully replace it.
In spring boot's BasicBatchConfigurer there is a warning presented:
logger.warn("JPA does not support custom isolation levels, so locks may not be taken when launching Jobs");
However, I get the impression that this issue has been addressed: https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-11942
Is there a work around for this issue? Should I just be extending BatchConfigurer and implementing my own createJobRepository method? Should there be a change to spring boot code?
