CamundaProcessAutodeployment PostConstruct ERROR

[houkunlin]

When there is an feign-form-spring-3.8.0 dependent library, resourcesToDeploy will scan feign-form-spring-3.8.0.jar!/META-INF/maven/io.github.openfeign.form/, then camundaResource.getFile() will error

You are right - thanks for reporting this! Linking the code in question:

https://github.com/camunda-community-hub/camunda-platform-7-rest-client-java/blob/main/camunda-engine-rest-client-openapi-springboot/src/main/java/org/camunda/community/rest/client/springboot/CamundaProcessAutodeployment.java#L33-L34

I wonder how we can easily prevent this. Spontaneous ideas:

• Don't just auto-deploy but really provide an annotation to specify the resource pattern so that you can fix that in your applicxation
• Adjust the pattern to avoid picking up random forms (but what pattern to do?)

Any feedback @houkunlin?

我的一个想法，自定义个一个属性对象，让SpringBoot从配置文件读取配置的资源信息。

经过简单测试好像发现存在一个问题，在 IDEA开发工具中直接运行项目时camundaResource.getFile() 正常，但是打包成jar后无法获取到文件内容

One of my ideas is to customize a property object and let SpringBoot read the configured resource information from the configuration file.

After a simple test, it seems that there is a problem. When running the project directly in the IDEA development tool, camundaResource.getFile() is normal, but the file content cannot be obtained after packaging it into a jar.

This brings me to one idea that should be easy to do: allow to externalize the resource patterns like this:

    @Value("${camunda.autoDeploy.formResources:'classpath*:**/*.form'")
    private Resource[] formResources;

WDYT @houkunlin? This way, Spring still discovers a proper resource and getFile should work in any setting.

这样是没问题的，不过我有一个担心是IDEA SpringBoot在修改配置文件的时候是否能够出现提示建议信息

---

This is no problem, but one of my concerns is whether IDEA SpringBoot can prompt and suggest information when modifying the configuration file

[berndruecker]

I added a change accordingly: bc2ec1e - that should allow you to solve your problem - right?

Honestly: I have no idea how IntelliJ builds up that list - might be simply scanning existing config files for what it finds? But I would not consider this a show stopper anyway

[houkunlin]

如果有文档提示应该没问题。IDEA的那个配置文件提示内容实际是由SpringBoot的一个提示规则提供的，如果使用一个类来定义配置属性信息（在类上加 @ConfigurationProperties() 注解），在编译成 starter 时会自动给这个类生成提示内容然后参与打包。

---

It should be fine if there are documentation hints. The configuration file prompt content of IDEA is actually provided by a prompt rule of SpringBoot. If you use a class to define configuration property information (add @ConfigurationProperties() annotation to the class), it will be automatically generated for this class when compiling into a starter Prompt the content and then participate in the packaging.

@Data
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties("camunda.deploy")
public class MyProperties {
    /**
     * enable auto deploy
     */
    private boolean enable = false;
}

Great hint - would make sense to introduce a properties class for this then - right?
Maybe you are eager to create a PR for this?
