Spring Cloud Bindings

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

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.enabled=true System Property results in the following:

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