First, please allow me to acknowledge that I am new to Spring and also there are a few questions (Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot and spring-cloud-config client without Spring Boot) out there on Spring Cloud Config Client without Spring Boot. However, mine is a, well, a bit different...:)

  1. I definitely want to use Spring Config Client without Boot if possible. I have been trying it over the last couple of days and failed. If you have any examples, I would like to see. I can always call Rest API and parse JSON, but would like to use the Cloud Config Client instead.

  2. I am, however, not opposed to using Spring Boot. Although, it would be nice to convert my existing Spring MVC application to Boot (Traditional Development), how can I just use Cloud Config Client and Actuator (/refresh and other endpoints) dependencies with Boot and exclude other dependencies? If you have any working example, I would like to see.

EDIT: A bit more information for #2 since I do not have enough reputation for comments: @spencergibb, Thank you for answering #1. For #2, is it possible to exclude all the auto configurations in (/spring.factories) and just bring in config client and actuator dependencies only? Since @EnableAutoConfiguration has exclude attribute, though verbose, can it be used or are there alternatives?

Would you please guide me with examples, if any?

  • Our answers haven't changed for #1 and the two answers you linked to: it's possible, it's not our goal. I don't understand #2 week enough to answer. What parts of boot would you want to exclude? – spencergibb Mar 16 '16 at 01:44
  • Spring Boot is smart enough to detect what you already have configured (datasources, web related parts etc.). So introducing Spring Boot to a legacy application is generally not that hard, the only thing you might need to do is upgrade the Spring version (depending on how old the version is). – M.
