Not able to use a config created in a java library


I am creating java jar library (maven) which will contain common configuration & util classes used in many services. My project is not multi-modules, so creating a new maven project. The configuration class I am not able to use in my project. Found out there are 2 approach for this from below mentioned references.

Reference1

Reference2

  1. Adding entry in resoruces/META-INF/spring.factories in the library project (auto-configure). It is giving error of class not found. Also added package of library in scanPackage attribute of Spring Boot Application. Src code is there after all the text.

    Error: The project which uses the library is not able to find class of ouath of spring related which is a dependency in the library class

  1. Creating annotation interface inside the library importing the config class. And, adding the annotation in any project in main class.

Solution

  • First, I believe I already did a lib achieving what you're trying to do. A lot is configurable from properties (CORS, authorities mapping and more) and it is published on maven-central.

    Spring-boot starters have changed since 2.7.

    Auto-configured components should now be:

    Minimal sample here with this resource

    com.c4_soft.springaddons.starter.webclient.SpringBootAutoConfiguration
    

    and that loaded file

    package com.c4_soft.springaddons.starter.webclient;
    
    import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.AutoConfiguration;
    import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import;
    
    @AutoConfiguration
    @Import({ C4ProxySettings.class, C4WebClientBuilderFactoryService.class })
    public class SpringBootAutoConfiguration {
    }
