Spring Boot 3.1's ConnectionDetails abstraction

Engineering | Moritz Halbritter | June 19, 2023 | ...

If you've used Spring Boot for a while, you're probably familiar with setting up connection details using properties. For example, you may have used spring.datasource.url to configure a JDBC connection. In Spring Boot 3.1 this continues to work as you'd expect, but we've changed things a bit under the hood to decouple the auto-configurations from the properties.

There's now a new ConnectionDetails abstraction. This interface models the concept of a connection to a remote service. If you take a look at this interface, you'll see that it's empty. It serves as a tagging interface, and is extended by multiple other interfaces which model the connection to a concrete remote service, e.g. RedisConnectionDetails for connections to a Redis server or JdbcConnectionDetails
