spring-cloud/spring-cloud-bindings

A library that exposes a rich Java language-binding and auto-configuration for CNB Bindings

Spring Cloud Bindings

The Spring Cloud Bindings library exposes a rich Java language binding for the Kubernetes Service Binding Specification. In addition, if opted-in, it configures Spring Boot application configuration properties appropriate for the type of binding encountered.

Features

• Java 17
• Spring Boot 3

For Spring Boot 2 compatibility, please have a look at the 1.x releases.

Library Usage

While less used, explicit binding access can be achieved through the Bindings type.

List<Binding> bindings = new Bindings().filterBindings("MySQL");
if (bindings.size() > 0) {
    Map<String, String> secret = bindings.get(0).getSecret();

    MariaDbDataSource dataSource = new MariaDbDataSource();
    dataSource.setServerName(secret.get("host"));
    dataSource.setPort(Integer.parseInt(secret.get("port")));
    dataSource.setDatabaseName(secret.get("database"));
    dataSource.setUserName(secret.get("username"));
    dataSource.setPassword(secret.get("password"));

    return dataSource;
}

Spring Boot Configuration

The more common usage of the library is opt-in automatic Spring Boot configuration. Setting the org.springframework.cloud.bindings.boot.enable=true System Property results in the following:

• Adds a PropertySource with a flattened representation (k8s.bindings.{name}.*) of the bindings.
• Adds a PropertySource with binding-specific Spring Boot configuration properties.

Auto-Configurations

Each auto-configuration is triggered by the type of binding. Each auto-configuration can be disabled using a System Property specific to that type and defaults to enable. Auto-configuration is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the org.springframework.cloud.bindings.boot.enable System Property to true.

{<key>} indicates that the value is the contents of the secret with the given key.

Extending Spring Boot Configuration

Consumers can extend the BindingSpecificEnvironmentPostProcessor with support for additional bindings by registering additional implementations of the BindingsPropertiesProcessor.

Within the process method, custom processors should make desired modifications to the application properties, using the contents of the bindings to compute property values as appropriate. Custom processors are strongly encouraged to use the type of each binding to filter for bindings intended for that processor.

Below is an example that processes a single binding of type myservice. If such a binding exists this processor sets my.service.enabled=true and sets my.service.uri to the value of uri found in the binding secret.

package com.example;


import org.springframework.cloud.bindings.Binding;
import org.springframework.cloud.bindings.Bindings;
import org.springframework.cloud.bindings.boot.BindingsPropertiesProcessor;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public final class MyServiceBindingsPropertiesProcessor implements BindingsPropertiesProcessor {

    public static final String TYPE = "myservice";

    @Override
    public void process(Environment environment, Bindings bindings, Map<String, Object> properties) {
        if (!environment.getProperty("com.example.bindings.myservice.enable", Boolean.class, true)) {
            return;
        }
        List<Binding> myBindings = bindings.filterBindings(TYPE);
        if (myBindings.size() == 0) {
            return;
        }
        properties.put("my.service.uri", myBindings.get(0).getSecret().get("uri"));
        properties.put("my.service.enabled", true);
    }

}

These lines from the above example allow users to set com.example.bindings.myservice.enable=false to disable the processor entirely:

        if (!environment.getProperty("com.example.bindings.myservice.enable", Boolean.class, true)) {
            return;
        }

You must add an entry in META_INF/spring.factories so that your custom processor can be discovered.

org.springframework.cloud.bindings.boot.BindingsPropertiesProcessor=com.example.MyServiceBindingsPropertiesProcessor

Footnotes

1. Note that eureka.instance.perferIpAddress will not be overwritten by the Eureka auto-configuration if it is already set in the environment. Applications wishing to set an explicit endpoint with eureka.instance.host can set eureka.instance.perferIpAddress to false and it will not be overwritten. ↩
