Spring Boot - infinite loop service

问题

I want to build a headless application which will query the DB in infinite loop and perform some operations in certain conditions (e.g. fetch records with specific values and when found launch e-mail sending procedure for each message).

I want to use Spring Boot as a base (especially because of Actuator to allow expose health-checks), but for now I used Spring Boot for building REST web-services.

Is there any best practices or patterns to follow when building infinite loop applications ? Does anyone tried to build it based on Spring Boot and can share with me his architecture for this case ?

Best regards.

回答1:

What I'm using is a message broker and a consumer put at the spring boot application to do the job.

Do not implement an infinite loop yourself. Let the framework handle it using its task execution capabilities:

@Service
public class RecordChecker{

    //Executes each 500 ms
    @Scheduled(fixedRate=500)
    public void checkRecords() {
        //Check states and send mails
    }
}

Don't forget to enable scheduling for your application:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableScheduling
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class);
    }
}
