I'm just curious, is it possible to consume Spring Cloud config by a Spring REST service which is not a Spring boot application. If it is possible, where to define the properties in a Spring REST service. I meant, where should I define
spring.cloud.config.uri etc.
Or, only Spring boot applications are allowed to consume Cloud configuration?
Any thought would be appreciated. Thanks
well spring boot just bootstrap all configuration automatically . so for simple spring application you have to config it manually and define the cloud config server beans in your application configuration file . it could be pure old fashion xml files or just using java code configuration with #Configuration. you could find some samples in github

I would like to add a RESTful API using Spring Boot to an existing webapp running on Tomcat. I have tried to use the SpringBootServletInitializer in order simplify the integration. However, when doing so Spring Boot seems to interfere with the existing webapp (e.g., / doesn't work as it used to any more).
Is it possible somehow to configure the Spring Boot integration so that it only handles endpoints that starts with /api and ignores everything else?
Also, is it possible to use the SpringBootServletInitializer for this?
The existing servlets are registered with servlet-mappings using the web.xml file.
Can Spring Cloud Data Flow be used in Spring5 applications - NOT Spring Boot - my current employer seems to view Spring Boot applications as insecure (I've no idea why) in anyway I'd like to try use this stack for an integration project, so is it possible to use it without Spring Boot?
With Spring Cloud Data Flow you can deploy streams, tasks and batches.
This is all based on Spring, Spring Cloud and Spring Boot. Spring Boot is nothing else as a preconfigured Spring stack.
Spring Data Flow is a runitme that usually needs a cloud infrastructure like Kubernets.
I'm not sure if you really are looking for that or more for something like https://spring.io/projects/spring-integration
I would like to ask how to refresh spring boot configuration info with using spring cloud config. Would you please give me some advice? Many thanks.
If your spring boot application is a client of Spring Cloud Configuration Server and use itself as single point of truth in the application configuration let's say retrieve application.properties/yml from the config server, you can benefit of #RefreshScope. in this case if you do a post to the /refresh if you use spring boot 1.x or /actuator/refresh if you use spring boot 2.x all the bean that are have are annotated as #RefreshScope will be refreshed.
I'm having a problem with how to use just Netflix Archaius to work as a config server for multiple Spring Boot microservices. Previously when I applied Eureka and Spring Cloud Config Server in my multiple-services project built with Spring Boot, each microservie would get its own .properties file from the Spring Cloud Config server through the discovery function of the Eureka service. But now I need to change the Spring Cloud Config Server into a Netflix Archaius service, from which the Spring Boot microservices will get .properties file, i have no idea about how to achieve it. Is there any good idea for my reference? Thanks in advance.
Finally I gave up using Netflix Archaius to pull properties file for microservices. Instead, I wrote down required key-value-pair properties into the application.properties of each springboot microservice. Since all the springboot microservices will be deployed in the DCOS platform in the form of docker containers, some inconstant properties were configured into the marathon deployment scripts, which could be populated into the springboot applet. In this way I managed to configure the key-value-pair properties from the outside instead of being hardcoded in the program codes.
I am using spring-boot to develop webservices, but I don't want to use WsConfigurerAdapter to define a WSDL and all, because I want to deploy my war into WAS7 and it does not support Servlet 3.0. So how would I add a web.xml configuration into my application.
Spring Boot doesn't support Servlet 2.5 out of the box, however you can use Spring Boot Legacy to get things working. Take a look at the Google App Engine sample application for an example of how to use Spring Boot Legacy and web.xml.
You may also be interested in this Spring Boot issue which is proposing to make Spring Boot Legacy an official part of Spring Boot.
