Chapter 1. Getting Started with Spring Boot standalone
1.1. About Spring Boot standalone deployment mode
In standalone deployment mode, a Spring Boot application is packaged as a Jar file and run directly inside the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This approach to packaging and running the application is consistent with the microservices philosophy, where a service is packaged with the minimum set of requirements. The Spring Boot application can be run directly using the java command with the -jar option. For example:
java -jar SpringBootApplication.jar
Where Spring Boot provides the main class for the executable Jar. The following elements are required for building a Spring Boot standalone application in Fuse:
The Fuse Bill of Materials (BOM) — defines a carefully curated set of dependencies from the Red Hat Maven repository. The BOM exploits Maven’s dependency management mechanism to define the appropriate versions of Maven dependencies.
Note: Only the dependencies defined in the Fuse BOM are supported by Red Hat.
- The Spring Boot Maven Plugin — implements the build process for a standalone Spring Boot application in Maven. This plugin is responsible for packaging your Spring Boot application as an executable Jar file.
1.2. Deploying into Spring Boot 2
In standalone deployment mode, you have the option of deploying into Spring Boot 2.
For details about the OpenShift mode of deployment, see the Fuse on OpenShift Guide.
