=== See the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-release/wiki/Spring-Cloud-2022.0-Release-Notes#202200-m1[release notes] and https://spring.io/blog/2022/10/12/observability-with-spring-boot-3[blog post] for more information and next steps.
== Spring Cloud Sleuth
=== !!!! IMPORTANT !!!!
Spring Cloud Sleuth's last minor version is 3.1. You can check the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-sleuth/tree/3.1.x[3.1.x] branch for the latest commits.
WARNING: Spring Cloud Sleuth will not work with Spring Boot 3.x onward. The last major version of Spring Boot that Sleuth will support is 2.x.
The core of this project got moved to https://micrometer.io/docs/tracing[Micrometer Tracing] project and the instrumentations will be moved to https://micrometer.io/[Micrometer] and all respective projects (no longer all instrumentations will be done in a single repository.
You can check the https://github.com/micrometer-metrics/tracing/wiki/Spring-Cloud-Sleuth-3.1-Migration-Guide[Micrometer Tracing migration guide] to learn how to migrate from Spring Cloud Sleuth to Micrometer Tracing.
=== Introduction
Spring Cloud Sleuth provides Spring Boot auto-configuration for distributed tracing.
Sleuth configures everything you need to get started. This includes where trace data (spans) are reported to, how many traces to keep (sampling), if remote fields (baggage) are sent, and which libraries are traced.
=== Quick Start
Add Spring Cloud Sleuth to the classpath of a Spring Boot application (together with a Tracer implementation) and you will see trace IDs in logs. Example of Sleuth with Brave tracer:
[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes,attributes"]
<!-- Spring Cloud Sleuth requires a Spring Cloud BOM -->
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
<!-- Provide the latest stable Spring Cloud release train version (e.g. 2020.0.0) -->
<version>${release.train.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<!-- Boot's Web support -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- Sleuth with Brave tracer implementation -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-sleuth</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Consider the following HTTP handler:
[source,java,indent=0]
@RestController public class DemoController { private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DemoController.class);
@RequestMapping("/")
public String home() {
log.info("Handling home");
return "Hello World";
}
}
If you add that handler to a controller, you can see the calls to home()
being traced in the logs (notice the 0b6aaf642574edd3 ids).
[indent=0]
2020-10-21 12:01:16.285 INFO [,0b6aaf642574edd3,0b6aaf642574edd3,true] 289589 --- [nio-9000-exec-1] DemoController : Handling home!
NOTE: Instead of logging the request in the handler explicitly, you could set logging.level.org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet=DEBUG.
NOTE: Set spring.application.name=myService (for instance) to see the service name as well as the trace and span IDs.
== Documentation
Please visit the https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-sleuth/docs/[documentation page] to read more about the project.
== Building
:jdkversion: 1.8
=== Basic Compile and Test
To build the source you will need to install JDK {jdkversion}.
Spring Cloud uses Maven for most build-related activities, and you should be able to get off the ground quite quickly by cloning the project you are interested in and typing
$ ./mvnw install
NOTE: You can also install Maven (>=3.3.3) yourself and run the mvn command
in place of ./mvnw in the examples below. If you do that you also
might need to add -P spring if your local Maven settings do not
contain repository declarations for spring pre-release artifacts.
NOTE: Be aware that you might need to increase the amount of memory
available to Maven by setting a MAVEN_OPTS environment variable with
a value like -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m. We try to cover this in
the .mvn configuration, so if you find you have to do it to make a
build succeed, please raise a ticket to get the settings added to
source control.
The projects that require middleware (i.e. Redis) for testing generally require that a local instance of Docker is installed and running.
=== Documentation
The spring-cloud-build module has a "docs" profile, and if you switch
that on it will try to build asciidoc sources from
src/main/asciidoc. As part of that process it will look for a
README.adoc and process it by loading all the includes, but not
parsing or rendering it, just copying it to ${main.basedir}
(defaults to ${basedir}, i.e. the root of the project). If there are
any changes in the README it will then show up after a Maven build as
a modified file in the correct place. Just commit it and push the change.
=== Working with the code If you don't have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use https://www.springsource.com/developer/sts[Spring Tools Suite] or https://eclipse.org[Eclipse] when working with the code. We use the https://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipse] eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs and tools should also work without issue as long as they use Maven 3.3.3 or better.
==== Activate the Spring Maven profile Spring Cloud projects require the 'spring' Maven profile to be activated to resolve the spring milestone and snapshot repositories. Use your preferred IDE to set this profile to be active, or you may experience build errors.
==== Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse We recommend the https://eclipse.org/m2e/[m2eclipse] eclipse plugin when working with eclipse. If you don't already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse marketplace".
NOTE: Older versions of m2e do not support Maven 3.3, so once the
projects are imported into Eclipse you will also need to tell
m2eclipse to use the right profile for the projects. If you
see many different errors related to the POMs in the projects, check
that you have an up to date installation. If you can't upgrade m2e,
add the "spring" profile to your settings.xml. Alternatively you can
copy the repository settings from the "spring" profile of the parent
pom into your settings.xml.
==== Importing into eclipse without m2eclipse If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project metadata using the following command:
[indent=0]
$ ./mvnw eclipse:eclipse
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting import existing projects
from the file menu.
== Contributing
:spring-cloud-build-branch: 3.1.x
Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license, and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but follow the guidelines below.
=== Sign the Contributor License Agreement Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you to sign the https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[Contributor License Agreement]. Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do. Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given the ability to merge pull requests.
=== Code of Conduct This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/blob/3.1.x/docs/src/main/asciidoc/code-of-conduct.adoc[code of conduct]. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to [email protected].
=== Code Conventions and Housekeeping None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help. They can also be added after the original pull request but before a merge.
- Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. If you use Eclipse
you can import formatter settings using the
eclipse-code-formatter.xmlfile from the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/3.1.x/spring-cloud-dependencies-parent/eclipse-code-formatter.xml[Spring Cloud Build] project. If using IntelliJ, you can use the https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6546[Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin] to import the same file. - Make sure all new
.javafiles to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an@authortag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is for. - Add the ASF license header comment to all new
.javafiles (copy from existing files in the project) - Add yourself as an
@authorto the .java files that you modify substantially (more than cosmetic changes). - Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements.
- A few unit tests would help a lot as well -- someone has to do it.
- If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or other target branch in the main project).
- When writing a commit message please follow https://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html[these conventions],
if you are fixing an existing issue please add
Fixes gh-XXXXat the end of the commit message (where XXXX is the issue number).
=== Checkstyle
Spring Cloud Build comes with a set of checkstyle rules. You can find them in the spring-cloud-build-tools module. The most notable files under the module are:
.spring-cloud-build-tools/
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml <3> └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt <2> └── checkstyle.xml <1>
<1> Default Checkstyle rules <2> File header setup <3> Default suppression rules
==== Checkstyle configuration
Checkstyle rules are disabled by default. To add checkstyle to your project just define the following properties and plugins.
.pom.xml
true <1> true <2> true <3> <4> io.spring.javaformat spring-javaformat-maven-plugin <5> org.apache.maven.plugins maven-checkstyle-plugin<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin> <5>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
----
<1> Fails the build upon Checkstyle errors
<2> Fails the build upon Checkstyle violations
<3> Checkstyle analyzes also the test sources
<4> Add the Spring Java Format plugin that will reformat your code to pass most of the Checkstyle formatting rules
<5> Add checkstyle plugin to your build and reporting phases
If you need to suppress some rules (e.g. line length needs to be longer), then it's enough for you to define a file under ${project.root}/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml with your suppressions. Example:
.projectRoot/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppresions.xml
----It's advisable to copy the ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.editorconfig and ${spring-cloud-build.rootFolder}/.springformat to your project. That way, some default formatting rules will be applied. You can do so by running this script:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/3.1.x/.editorconfig -o .editorconfig
$ touch .springformat
=== IDE setup
==== Intellij IDEA
In order to setup Intellij you should import our coding conventions, inspection profiles and set up the checkstyle plugin. The following files can be found in the https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/tree/3.1.x/spring-cloud-build-tools[Spring Cloud Build] project.
.spring-cloud-build-tools/
└── src ├── checkstyle │ └── checkstyle-suppressions.xml <3> └── main └── resources ├── checkstyle-header.txt <2> ├── checkstyle.xml <1> └── intellij ├── Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml <4> └── Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml <5>
<1> Default Checkstyle rules <2> File header setup <3> Default suppression rules <4> Project defaults for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules <5> Project style conventions for Intellij that apply most of Checkstyle rules
.Code style
image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-code-style.png[Code style]
Go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code style. There click on the icon next to the Scheme section. There, click on the Import Scheme value and pick the Intellij IDEA code style XML option. Import the spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Spring_Boot_Java_Conventions.xml file.
.Inspection profiles
image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-inspections.png[Code style]
Go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> Inspections. There click on the icon next to the Profile section. There, click on the Import Profile and import the spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/intellij/Intellij_Project_Defaults.xml file.
.Checkstyle
To have Intellij work with Checkstyle, you have to install the Checkstyle plugin. It's advisable to also install the Assertions2Assertj to automatically convert the JUnit assertions
image::https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/{spring-cloud-build-branch}/docs/src/main/asciidoc/images/intellij-checkstyle.png[Checkstyle]
Go to File -> Settings -> Other settings -> Checkstyle. There click on the + icon in the Configuration file section. There, you'll have to define where the checkstyle rules should be picked from. In the image above, we've picked the rules from the cloned Spring Cloud Build repository. However, you can point to the Spring Cloud Build's GitHub repository (e.g. for the checkstyle.xml : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/3.1.x/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle.xml). We need to provide the following variables:
checkstyle.header.file- please point it to the Spring Cloud Build's,spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txtfile either in your cloned repo or via thehttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/3.1.x/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/main/resources/checkstyle-header.txtURL.checkstyle.suppressions.file- default suppressions. Please point it to the Spring Cloud Build's,spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xmlfile either in your cloned repo or via thehttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-build/3.1.x/spring-cloud-build-tools/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xmlURL.checkstyle.additional.suppressions.file- this variable corresponds to suppressions in your local project. E.g. you're working onspring-cloud-contract. Then point to theproject-root/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xmlfolder. Example forspring-cloud-contractwould be:/home/username/spring-cloud-contract/src/checkstyle/checkstyle-suppressions.xml.
IMPORTANT: Remember to set the Scan Scope to All sources since we apply checkstyle rules for production and test sources.
=== Duplicate Finder
Spring Cloud Build brings along the basepom:duplicate-finder-maven-plugin, that enables flagging duplicate and conflicting classes and resources on the java classpath.
==== Duplicate Finder configuration
Duplicate finder is enabled by default and will run in the verify phase of your Maven build, but it will only take effect in your project if you add the duplicate-finder-maven-plugin to the build section of the projecst's pom.xml.
.pom.xml [source,xml]
org.basepom.maven duplicate-finder-maven-plugin ----For other properties, we have set defaults as listed in the https://github.com/basepom/duplicate-finder-maven-plugin/wiki[plugin documentation].
You can easily override them but setting the value of the selected property prefixed with duplicate-finder-maven-plugin. For example, set duplicate-finder-maven-plugin.skip to true in order to skip duplicates check in your build.
If you need to add ignoredClassPatterns or ignoredResourcePatterns to your setup, make sure to add them in the plugin configuration section of your project:
[source,xml]
org.basepom.maven duplicate-finder-maven-plugin org.joda.time.base.BaseDateTime .*module-info changelog.txtRelated repositories
Spring Boot is an opinionated layer on top of Spring that handles the boilerplate you'd otherwise write for every project — auto-configuration for embedded servers, security, metrics, and health endpoints — so you can ship a runnable JAR with `java -jar` without touching XML. The trade-off is that you're buying into Spring's conventions hard; when your requirements genuinely diverge from the defaults, the "get out of the way" promise only goes so far and you're still digging through Spring's layered configuration model. It genuinely skips code generation and XML, which is rare for a framework this feature-complete, and the Gradle-based build with JDK 25 requirement tells you this is aimed at teams with a modern JVM already in place.
CS-Notes is a GitHub repository maintained by CyC2018 that collects Chinese-language study notes across ten topic areas: algorithms, operating systems, networking, object-oriented design, databases, Java, system design, tools, coding practice, and an afterword. It links each topic to standalone markdown files instead of writing everything inline, and the README says most of the content is original work rather than material copied from elsewhere.
Node.js Best Practices, maintained at goldbergyoni/nodebestpractices, is a curated checklist of more than 80 recommendations for building Node.js applications, organized into eight categories from project architecture to Docker. Each entry combines a short recommendation with an explanation of the risk of skipping it and a link to a deeper write-up, rather than being a plain list of links.
Java Design Patterns is an open-source GitHub project by iluwatar that documents design patterns as commented, working Java code rather than diagrams or prose. The repository is organized so readers can find a pattern by name, by tag such as Gang of Four or Performance, or by category, with a companion site and an optional paid e-book alongside it.
