The Spring Cloud Config client uses

To use these features in your application, simply build them into a spring-guided application that relies on spring-cloud-config-client (for example, to view test cases for configuring a client or sample application). The most convenient way to add dependencies is through the Spring boot launcher org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-config. There is also a MAVEN user's parent pom and BOM (spring-cloud-starter-parent) and a spring IO version management properties file for Gradle and spring CLI users. Example MAVEN configuration:

<parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactid>spring-boot-starter-p arent</artifactid> <version>1.3.5.RELEASE</version> <relativepath/> <!--lookup PA Rent from Repository-</parent><dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency&gt            ; <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> <artifactid>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifa Ctid> <version>Brixton.RELEASE</version> <type>pom</type> < Scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies></dependencymanagement><dependen cies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> &LT;ARTIFACTID&GT;SP ring-cloud-starter-config</artifactid> </dependency> <dependency> <groupid>org.spring Framework.bOot</groupid> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> <scope>test</scop e> </dependency></dependencies><build> <plugins> <plugin> & Lt;groupid>org.springframework.boot</groupid> <artifactid>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifa Ctid> </plugin> </plugins></build>

Then you can create a standard spring boot application, like this simple HTTP server:

@SpringBootApplication@RestControllerpublic class Application {    @RequestMapping("/")    public String home() {        return "Hello World!";    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);    }}

When it runs it will receive the external configuration from the default local configuration server on port 8888 if it is running. To modify the startup behavior, you can use bootstrap.properties (such as application.properties) to change the location of the configuration server, but for the boot phase of the application context, for example
Spring.cloud.config.uri:http://myconfigserver.com
The Boot property appears as a high-priority property source in the/env endpoint, such as

$ curl localhost:8080/env{  "profiles":[],  "configService:https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/config-repo/bar.properties":{"foo":"bar"},  "servletContextInitParams":{},  "systemProperties":{...},  ...}

(the property source named "configservice:< Remote Repository url>/< file name >" contains the property "foo" with the value "bar", which is the highest priority)
