Understanding Spring Boot auto-configuration behavior - dom

Spring Boot docs contain the following phrase:
You can browse the source code of spring-boot-autoconfigure to see the
#Configuration classes that we provide (see the
META-INF/spring.factories file).
How does one browse the specified source, should that be made into a browsable link in the docs?
Appreciate any additional reading materials on how auto-configuration machinery works in Spring Boot. Thanks!

Eclipse+STS or STS all function invalid

I follow some guide, In the video, Their IDE have all those functions (by default! no config needed):
No auto compile in any type
No Spring entry in "NEW" or "XML Configure File" in XML or anything handy
No Spring XML editor in "OpenWith"
etc....
Almost everything is missing
I try both way: Download STS4 or install STS in Eclipse
None of them working
So: How to get those lost function ?
The tutorial you are following is probably using STS3, which contains all the features for Spring XML config files that you mentioned. However, the tooling that you have installed is Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, which comes with a different set of features. It supports Spring XML config files, too, but in a different way. It is much more focused on implementing apps on top of Spring Boot. You can find more details in the Spring Tools 4 wiki: https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/wiki

Does Spring LDAP (Spring Data Repository) support repository customization?

I am using Spring LDAP 2.3.1 and want to customize my repository by adding my own create method. I was hoping I could use the functionality described in section 2.6 of the Spring Data Commons documentation but it did not seem to work.
Is this functionality implemented for Spring LDAP?
Not sure what you mean with own create method. Custom repository implementations are available for every Spring Data module, see reference docs.

Spring Batch Project with Annotation Integrated with Spring Batch Admin

I have a Spring Batch Project which uses annotation based configurations and is a working code by itself. I now want to integrate this with a new Spring Batch Admin project.
I tried some solutions available/answered in the blogs, like adding dependency of batch project to the batch admin project and modifying the META-INF/spring/batch/servlet/override/context-config.xml file to point to the batch project config file.
i.e. . The com.sample.springbatch.job package is present in the Spring Batch project.
However, I am not successful with the integration.
Can anybody point me to or suggest a solution where Spring Batch Project - Annotation Based is integrated with Spring Batch Admin project.
Thank you!
Sonali
I tried this with Batch Admin 2.0.0, you don't want to use #EnableBatchProcessing which is already provided with Spring Batch Admin rather you may use #EnableBatchAdmin. I've added the code in github

Spring Annotation-based Project Templates

I am new to Spring. I am learning it from different sources. Spring Recipes, Spring In Action and Spring documentation. According to Spring 3.+, XML configuration can be ignored at all. This is good for me as a beginner.
Problem:
I am using Spring Tool Suite, is there a Spring Web project template that starts with annotations only? All the project templates I have found use XML configuration. I don't even know where to put my DispatcherServlet. I don't know where to put my controllers.
I also had the same problem when Starting out with Spring to find only annotation based templates. Then I found this from John Thompson. This project is completely annotation based and the only xml file involved is pom.xml
I recommend you to run through Spring Guides - they are up to date and use annotation based configuration.
This is guide how to make a restfull web service using spring-boot. It has description how to made project with maven, gradle or STS.
The official recommendation is to base all new projects on Spring Boot which is XML-less out of the box.
STS offers a nice integration with the Spring Initializr service: just go to "New -> Spring Starter Project", fill in a few fields like project name etc. and tick the boxes next to modules you're interested in.

Eclipse plugin for spring

IDEA allow to find bean definition, declared in xml, right from Java code. For example if I've got interface SomeIntrfaceImpl IDEA allow me to find out instances of SomeIntrfaceImpl in .xml contextes files, pointing me to .xml file to line of code where bean is created
Is there any Eclipse plugin, that allow me to do the same ?
Yes there is different Eclipse provided by SpringFramework makers itself. They have extended the eclipse to provide easy development for Spring web application and other products like Spring ROO also.
Its is called SpringSourceToolSuit. You can download its latest version from here after providing some basic information about you asked in a form there.
Its the best IDE to develop Spring applications. I am currently using it.
Hope this helps you. Cheers.
