问题
There is a mention in the 'Spring-Cloud-Config-Server' documentation that says,
To use these features in an application, just build it as a Spring Boot application
Does this mean that my client app also needs to be a Spring Booot application ? Can't i have a Non-Java application accesing the properties in the Config Server via RESTService calls ? If the data is receieved in JSON format, I could always have a JSON parser in my non-java application to parse and use the data.
回答1:
The standard uri's are /{name}/{profiles} and /{name}/{profiles}/{label}. These return a json format optimized for the spring cloud config client.
{name} is the application name. {profiles} is a comma separated list of profiles. {label} is the branch name when using git or svn.
The following return the data in other formats optimized for those formats:
/{name}-{profiles}.properties/{label}/{name}-{profiles}.properties{name}-{profiles}.json/{label}/{name}-{profiles}.json/{name}-{profiles}.yml/{name}-{profiles}.yaml/{label}/{name}-{profiles}.yml/{label}/{name}-{profiles}.yaml
回答2:
Other language clients can use it like a rest resource. The client can construct the url based on application, environment and key and make a request to cloud config server.

I will still recommend, to have some java library (spring cloud client) in between. Though you can manually parse JSON response but you will have to make sure, you get key/value from first occurrence. Also, you will have to write own logic to replace values from config-server, if overridden by your own cmd line or properties file.
