-# Spring Platform Components
-
-This project contains boilerplate patterns for distributed application
-components, making those patterns easy to implement with Spring (and
-Spring Boot in particular).
-
-## Spring Boot Features
-
-**Bootstrap Listener** - A `SpringApplication` with the platform
-components on its classpath will have an extended bootstrap phase,
-allowing new strategies for configuration management and other
-non-functional features to be added to the application before it is
-initialized. The implementation is similar to
-`@EnableAutoConfiguration`, allowing new jars to contribute additional
-features by defining `BootstrapConfiguration` classes in the form of
-`@Configuration`. Instead of being added to the application's context
-they are added to a special "bootstrap" context, which is then used to
-extract `ApplicationContextInitializers` to apply to the application
-before it is created. A typical use case would be to locate and
-install additional environment properties so that the application can
-adapt to its environment in a completely flexible way.
-
-**Autoconfiguration** - An application using
-`@EnableAutoConfiguration` will pick up beans for the components
-below, notably `RefreshEndpoint`, `EnvironmentManager` and
-`RefreshScope`.
-
-## RefreshEndpoint
-
-Re-initializes the bootstrap environment, and sends a
-`EnvironmentChangeEvent` if any properties changed. Both the
-`RefreshScope` and the `ConfigurationPropertiesRebinder` respond to
-this event. Exposed at `/refresh`.
-
-## EnvironmentManager and EnvironmentManagerEndpoint
-
-The `EnvironmentManager` allows you to modify the Spring `Environment`
-in a running application.  It adds a `PropertySource` with high
-priority to the `Environment` (so properties set there will take
-precedence). If you have the Actuator and are in a webapp then the
-`EnvironmentManagerEndpoint` will also expose "/env" with POST for
-updating the `EnvironmentManager` remotely. E.g. run the app locally:
-
-```
-@Configuration
-@EnableAutoConfiguration
-public class Application {
-	public static void main(String[] args) {
-		SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
-	}
-}
-```
-
-then interact with the `Environment`:
-
-```
-$ curl localhost:8080/env/message
-Hello
-$ curl localhost:8080/env -d message=Foo
-$ curl localhost:8080/env/message
-Foo
-```
-
-Doing this (or the equivalent operation over JMX) will trigger an event
-that leads to rebinding of `@ConfigurationProperties` (see below). 
-
-## ConfigurationPropertiesRebinder
-
-Spring beans that are `@ConfigurationProperties` can be rebound if the `Environment` changes. Example:
-
-```
-	@ConfigurationProperties
-	protected static class ServiceProperties {
-		private String message;
-		public String getMessage() {
-			return message;
-		}
-		public void setMessage(String message) {
-			this.message = message;
-		}
-	}
-```
-
-then inject `ServiceProperties` into an application component using `@Autowired` and use it to govern the behaviour.
-When the `Environment` changes do this
-
-```
-    @Autowired
-    private ConfigurationPropertiesRebinder rebinder;
-    
-    ...
-    
-		rebinder.rebind();
-
-```
-
-The `ConfigurationPropertiesRebinder` is also a `@ManagedResource` so you can ping the `rebind()` operation remotely.
-
-## RefreshScope
-
-Spring beans in scope="refresh" are re-initialized on the next method call after a refresh. Example:
-
-```
-	@Configuration
-	@EnableConfigurationProperties(TestProperties.class)
-	@EnableAutoConfiguration
-	protected static class TestConfiguration {
-		
-		@Autowired
-		private TestProperties properties;
-		
-		@Bean
-		@RefreshScope
-		public ExampleService service() {
-			ExampleService service = new ExampleService();
-			service.setMessage(properties.getMessage());
-			service.setDelay(properties.getDelay());
-			return service;
-		}
-		
-	}
-```
-
-then update the `TestProperties` (e.g. via JMX or something), and
-
-```
-	@Autowired
-	private RefreshScope scope;
-
-...
-
-		// ...and then refresh, so the bean is re-initialized:
-		scope.refresh("service");
-```
