Ankur Mhatre 86246dc860 Three new article modules: configuration binding, profiles and config data, Spring AOP
configuration-properties/  @ConfigurationProperties vs @Value on Spring Boot 4.1.1.
  The relaxed-binding matrix is generated by binding each spelling rather than
  transcribed, and re-checked against real processes -- the in-process probe was
  wrong twice before it was right. Records the three findings that came out of it:
  @Value does get relaxed resolution inside Spring Boot (Boot attaches
  ConfigurationPropertySources), the configuration processor silently stops
  generating metadata on JDK 23+ when declared as a plain dependency, and @Valid is
  not what makes nested constraints run.

profiles-and-config/       Precedence, profiles, spring.config.import and config trees.
  /precedence reports every source holding a property in rank order with file and
  line, which turns "my profile file had no effect" into a two-line answer. Also
  pins the counterintuitive one: an imported file outranks the file that imported it.

spring-aop/                Designators, proxy types, and aspects that do not fire.
  One advice per supported designator so the reference table is generated from real
  matches; all fourteen unsupported designators fed to the parser. Two corrections to
  the reference documentation: unsupported designators throw
  UnsupportedPointcutPrimitiveException (extends RuntimeException, not
  IllegalArgumentException), and spring-boot-starter-aop was renamed to
  spring-boot-starter-aspectj in Boot 4.

19 contract tests across the three modules, 15 captured transcripts, all regenerated
by scripts/run-all.sh. Verified on Spring Boot 4.1.1, Spring Framework 7.0.9,
JDK 25.0.4.1.

# spring-boot-demo
Companion code for the Spring Boot articles on **[ankurm.com](https://ankurm.com)**.
One directory per article. Each is a self-contained Maven project with its own `README.md`,
numbered documentation chapters under `docs/`, and captured real output under `docs/output/`
that a single script regenerates. Every figure quoted in an article came out of one of those
files.
| Directory | Article | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| [`actuator-in-production/`](actuator-in-production) | [Spring Boot Actuator in Production](https://ankurm.com/spring-boot-actuator-production-endpoints-security-health-indicators/) | endpoint exposure defaults, securing Actuator, custom health indicators and how they hang |
| [`spring-boot-startup-time/`](spring-boot-startup-time) | [Why Your Spring Boot App Takes 8 Seconds to Start](spring-boot-startup-time/post/post.md) | `BufferingApplicationStartup`, JFR startup events, self time vs total time, the classpath-scan tax, the JDK 25 AOT cache |
| [`configuration-properties/`](configuration-properties) | [@ConfigurationProperties vs @Value in Spring Boot 4](https://ankurm.com/) | relaxed binding measured three ways, record constructor binding, validation, IDE metadata generation |
| [`profiles-and-config/`](profiles-and-config) | [Spring Boot Profiles Done Right](https://ankurm.com/) | the precedence stack made visible, config trees and ConfigMaps, why a profile file loses to an environment variable |
| [`spring-aop/`](spring-aop) | [Spring AOP Explained](https://ankurm.com/) | every pointcut designator with real matches, JDK vs CGLIB proxies, six aspects that do not fire |
Articles whose text is kept here rather than only on the blog have it under
`<directory>/post/``post.md` for the body and `meta.md` for the title, excerpt and
categories.
## Running any of them
Each project needs a JDK 25 and Maven 3.9:
```bash
cd <directory>
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk-25
mvn -DskipTests package
./scripts/run-all.sh # regenerate every transcript under docs/output/
```
