I'm having a hard time to understand how to use Netflix Archaius with Spring Boot Config.
I have a a microservice that gets the configuration from a Spring Cloud Config Server but I would like to have the configuration automatically refreshed when it is changed. As I understand this can be achieved with Archaius in the client side by pulling the info from the repository.
I have searched but cannot find a tutorial or example where this is done.

For Spring Boot based microservices communicating with each other via load-balanced clients (with Spring Cloud LoadBalancer) which client should be used, WebClient or OpenFeign?
From what I’ve read they both support Spring Cloud LoadBalancer. I know that WebClient also supports reactive, but that is not a feature we need.
Are both clients going to continue to be supported by Spring for the foreseeable future?
From what I can see Spring seems to be pushing WebClient. However, I still see development activity going on in the spring-cloud-openfeign github repo.
OpenFeign seems to be an easier/cleaner to use way of creating the clients, but are there any drawbacks compared to WebClient?
I have a question to the Spring Cloud guys.
Approx. a year ago, there were nice presentations about Spring Cloud RSocket.
Part of it included RSocket Support in Spring Cloud Gateway, aka. the rsocket-broker.
Now I see that https://github.com/spring-cloud-incubator/spring-cloud-rsocket has been archived.
I am wondering: does this mean Spring Cloud RSocket is dead? Is there any replacement? Is there any other support for RSocket in Spring Cloud Gateway? Or is Spring Cloud RSocket simply dormant and there is hope for it to be resurrected?
P.S.: I am aware of RSocket support in Spring Boot which is very nicely described here. What I am interested in, is the Spring Cloud RSocket features that I did not find the Spring Boot RSocket support.
Quoting from the description of that project
This repository is now inactive. Please see https://github.com/rsocket-broker
Based on what parameters can we decide on a config server? aws cloud config vs spring cloud config server?
if the application is developed based on Spring framework, which one will be a better option? aws-cloud-config / spring-config?
does both support XML/properties configuration other than YAML?
Can both be configured for High Availability?
Is it possible to define a workflow (for approval of changes that need to be moved to PRODUCTION, using jenkins for example?)
If your application is based on Spring, it makes sense to use Spring Cloud Config as you would be using a specific framework instead of a Generic framework like AWS config
yes, Spring Cloud Config supports both YAML and property files
Ultimately the Spring Cloud Config is a Spring Boot App, hence you can make it high available using the same strategy that we use for any Spring Application
The simplest Approval work flow would be
Configure your Jenkins Job to send mail for approval
Set-up Promotion using https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Promoted+Builds+Plugin
Deploy the Artificats to the specific environment
First off, thanks to the Spring team for all their work pushing this work forward!
Now that Camden.SR5 is official, I have some questions on how to correctly configure the spring cloud stream kafka binder when using Spring Boot 1.5.1.
Spring boot 1.5.1 has auto configuration for kafka and those configuration options seem to be redundant with those in the spring cloud stream kafka binder.
Do we use the core spring boot properties (spring.kafka.) or do we use (spring.cloud.stream.kafka.binder.)?
I did find this issue, but I am curious if this work will be included in the next Camden release?
https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka/issues/73
Additionally, I saw this issue reported on Stack Overflow and I believe it will also be an issue with Camden.SR5?
Failed to start bean 'inputBindingLifecycle' when using spring-boot:1.5.1 and spring-cloud-stream
Thanks
Supporting the Boot 1.5 configuration options is an issue in progress. Also, since dedicated 1.5 support is coming only with Spring Cloud Stream Chelsea release train (which is included in the Dalston release of Spring Cloud), it will be available only there.
Also, when using Spring Cloud Camden with Boot 1.5 you will need to override the Kafka dependencies as described in Failed to start bean 'inputBindingLifecycle' when using spring-boot:1.5.1 and spring-cloud-stream. This will be avoided in future versions of Spring Cloud Stream (and Spring Cloud) but only starting in the Chelsea release train of Spring Cloud Stream (and the Dalston release of Spring Cloud) - see https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka/issues/88 for details.
i want to know is there any way to use spring cloud config client without spring boot in a spring web application.
i want to use spring cloud config with #Value annotation and i don't like to use spring cloud server rest api in my web application
i have tried what developers said in Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot link but it didn't work
Yes it's possible. You will have to add spring boot but don't have to really use it (we had it working in a non-springboot app). Check this code here https://github.com/4finance/micro-infra-spring/tree/master/micro-infra-spring-config . You don't need a config server then to use the properties. I don't have a code snippet for that but you would have to create manually a spring boot context in your just to make this work. Also check this answer - Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot . Even if you will make it work it doesn't mean that the ordering will be proper.
The suggested solution then is to actually use Spring Boot :)
I provided an answer here : Spring Cloud Config Client Without Spring Boot that can help you. It's a working prototype to load property sources from Zookeeper using Spring Cloud Config Zookeeper in a webapplication without Spring Boot.
