For a quick introduction and to get started quickly with a new
project, carry on reading. For more in depth coverage of the features
of Spring Boot.Strap, go to the [Feature Guide](docs/Features.md).
# Getting Started
You will need Java (6 at least) and a build tool (Maven is what we use
below, but you are more than welcome to use gradle). These can be
downloaded or installed easily in most operating systems. For Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk maven
<!--FIXME: short instructions for Mac.-->
## A basic project
If you are using Maven create a really simple `pom.xml` with 2 dependencies:
`pom.xml`
```
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<properties>
<start-class>com.mycompany.Application</start-class>
</properties>
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>{{project.version}}</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-package-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
```
If you like Gradle, that's fine, and you will know what to do with
those dependencies. The one dependency adds Spring Boot.Config auto
configuration and the Tomcat container to your application. If you
prefer Jetty you can just add the embedded Jetty jars to your
classpath instead of Tomcat.
Now write a simple main class
`Application.java`
```
package com.mycompany;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
@Configuration
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
```
You should be able to run it already:
$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
. ____ _ __ _ _
/\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \

Spring Bootstrap
2013-07-19 17:13:51.673 INFO 18937 --- [ main] com.mycompany.Application ...
... <logs showing application starting up>
It doesn't do anything yet, but that's because all we did is start a
Spring `ApplicationContext` and let it close when the JVM stopped.
To make it do something a little bit more interesting you could bind
some command line arguments to the application:
`Application.java`
```
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties
@EnableConfigurationProperties
public class Application {
private String message;
@Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
System.err.println(message);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
}
```
The `@ConfigurationProperties` annotation binds the Spring
`Environment` (including command line arguments) to the `Application`
instance, and `CommandLineRunner` is a marker interface for anything
you want to be executed after the content is started. So run it
again and you will see the message:
```
$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --message="Hello World"
...
Hello World
```
To add more features, add some `@Bean` definitions to your
`Application` class, and read more in the
[Feature Guide](docs/Features.md).

If you are using Maven create a really simple `pom.xml` with 2 dependencies:
`pom.xml` When you application starts you should see something similar to the following:
``` ```

configuration and the Tomcat container to your application. If you
prefer Jetty you can just add the embedded Jetty jars to your
classpath instead of Tomcat.
Now write a simple main class ### Customizing SpringApplication
If the SpringApplication defaults aren't to your taste you can instead create a local
instance and customize it. For example, to turn off the banner you would write:
`Application.java` ```java
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(SpringConfiguration.class);
app.setShowBanner(false);
app.run(args);
}
``` ```
package com.mycompany;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; See the `SpringApplication` Javadoc for a complete list of the configuration options
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
@Configuration ### Accessing command line properties
public class Application { By default `SpringApplication` will expose any command line arguments as Spring
Properties. This allows you to easily access arguments using by injecting them
as `@Values`
public static void main(String[] args) { ```java
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); import org.springframework.stereotype.*
} import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.*
@Component
public class MyBean {
@Value("${name}")
private String name;
// Running 'java -jar myapp.jar --name=Spring' will set this to "Spring"
// ...
} }
``` ```
You should be able to run it already: ### CommandLineRunner beans
If you wan't access to the raw command line argument, or you need to run some specific
code once the `SpringApplication` has started you can implement the `CommandLineRunner`
interface. The `run(String... args)` method will be called on all spring beans
implementing the interface.
$ mvn package ```java
$ java -jar target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar import org.springframework.boot.*
import org.springframework.stereotype.*
. ____ _ __ _ _ @Component
/\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \ public class MyBean implements CommandLineRunner {
( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \
\\/ ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| | ) ) ) )
' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / /

2013-07-19 17:13:51.673 INFO 18937 --- [ main] com.mycompany.Application ... public void run(String... args) {
... <logs showing application starting up> // Do something...
}
It doesn't do anything yet, but that's because all we did is start a
Spring `ApplicationContext` and let it close when the JVM stopped. }
To make it do something a little bit more interesting you could bind
some command line arguments to the application:
`Application.java`
``` ```
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties
@EnableConfigurationProperties
public class Application {
private String message; You can additionally implement the `org.springframework.core.Ordered` interface or use
the `org.springframework.core.annotation.Order` annotation if serveral `CommandLineRunner`
beans are defined that must be called in a specific order.
@Override ### Application Exit
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
System.err.println(message);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) { ## Embedded Servlet Container Support
this.message = message;
}
}
```
The `@ConfigurationProperties` annotation binds the Spring ## External Configuration
`Environment` (including command line arguments) to the `Application`
instance, and `CommandLineRunner` is a marker interface for anything
you want to be executed after the content is started. So run it
again and you will see the message:
``` ## Conditionals
$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --message="Hello World" ## ApplicationContextInitializers
...
Hello World
```
To add more features, add some `@Bean` definitions to your
`Application` class, and read more in the
[Feature Guide](docs/Features.md).
