If spring-hateoas is on the classpath and an MvcEndpoint returns a
@ResponseBody it will be extended and wrapped into a Resource with links.
All the existing endpoints that return sensible JSON data can be extended
this way (i.e. not /logfile). The HAL browser will also be added as an
endpoint if available on the classpath. Finally, asciidocs for the
Actuator endpoints are available as a separate jar file, which if
included in an app will also generate a new (HTTP) endpoint.
Fixes gh-1390
There is a new spring.factories entry for
org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.EndpointWebMvcConfiguration
which loads extra beans into the MVC config for the Actuator.
If the management context is a child context all the beans go in the
child (except the Spring Security filter still). A big bonus is that
you can add WebConfigurerAdapters to configure static resources etc.
A new component called ManagementContextResolver can be used to
locate the ApplicationContext for the MVC endpoints.

This commit improves support of the Resource Handling features
introduced in Spring Framework 4.1. Those features add new ways to
resolve and transform static resources in applications.
See [this blog
post](https://spring.io/blog/2014/07/24/spring-framework-4-1-handling-static-web-resources)
for more details.
The `ResourceUrlEncodinFilter` is added for compatible template engines:
Velocity and Thymeleaf. It assists them with rewriting the URLs of
static resources when rendering templates.
New keys are added in the `ResourceProperties` in order to configure
the Resource Handling chain. `ResourceResolvers` and
`ResourceTransformers` are registered accordingly in
`WebMvcAutoConfiguration`.
Here is an example of enabling a `ContentVersionStrategy` on all
static resources, meaning their names will be changed for cache
busting purposes by adding a content hash at the end of the file name.
Like "/js/jquery.js -> /js/jquery-872ca6a9fdda9e2c1516a84cff5c3bc6.js".
```
spring.resources.chain.enabled:true
spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.enabled:true
spring.resources.chain.strategy.content.paths:/**
```

Improve the "hints" section of the metadata so that each hint can provide
the reference to a value provider.
A value provider defines how a tool can discover the potential values of
a property based on the context. The provider is identifed by a name and
may have an arbitrary number of parameters.
Closes gh-3303
Update documentation section that discusses uber jars since it conflates
the concepts of the uber jar and the shading of dependencies into jars
(which may or may not be true uber jars).
Fixes gh-3321
Create a new section in the meta-data called "hints" where users can
provide hints about a given property. The most basic use case for now
is to provide a list of values that a property can have. Each value may
have a description.
This sample JSON provides a basic example for a property called `foo.mode`
that exposes 3 values: "auto", "basic" and "advanced".
```
"hints": [
{
"id": "foo.mode",
"values": [
{
"value": "auto",
"description": "Some smart description."
},
{
"name": "basic"
},
{
"name": "advanced"
}
]
}
]
```
This information can be read by tools (such as IDE) and offer an
auto-completion with the list of values.
Closes gh-2054
Add AnsiPropertySource which allows named ANSI codes to be resolved
and update ResourceBanner to include it.
This commit also deprecates constants defined in AnsiElement and
replaces them with AnsiStyle, AnsiColor and AnsiBackground enums.
Closes gh-2704
These files are modified by Eclipse for some reason when you change files
like Thymeleaf HTML files. `META-INF/maven/**` has been added to the
default exclusion.
Closes gh-3295
Closes gh-3297
Update `ApplicationPidFileWriter` to support a 'fail on write error'
properties which allows the user to exit the application if the PID
file cannot be written.
This commit also deprecates `spring.pidfile` in favor of
`spring.pid.file` so that the new property can be added without overlap.
Fixes gh-2764
This commit adds support for automatically configuring Spring Session.
In a web application when both Spring Session and Spring Data Redis
are on the classpath, Spring Session's Redis Http Session support
will be auto-configured. The max inactive interval for Redis-backed
sessions can be configured via the environment using the existing
server.session-timeout property.
Closes gh-2318
Migrate `spring.view.prefix` and `spring.view.suffix` to
`spring.mvc.view.prefix` and `spring.mvc.view.suffix` respectively. The
former properties are still handled in a backward compatible way and are
defined as deprecated in the meta-data.
Closes gh-3250
Improve SpringApplicationAdminMXBean to expose additional information:
* Whether the application uses an embedded container
* The properties exposed by the `Environment`
This allows to know if the application is web-based and the HTTP port
on which it is running.
Closes gh-3067
Previously, the actual HTTP port on which a web application is running on
was only exposed in tests. This commit makes sure to provide that feature
regardless of the environment so that applications can know on which port
they are actually running on.
If there are several containers, each is exposed via the namespace of
their respective application context.
Closes gh-3259
