Configuration
Configuration for Spring Cloud Gateway is driven by a collection of RouteDefinitionLocator
instances.
The following listing shows the definition of the RouteDefinitionLocator
interface:
public interface RouteDefinitionLocator {
Flux<RouteDefinition> getRouteDefinitions();
}
By default, a PropertiesRouteDefinitionLocator
loads properties by using Spring Boot’s @ConfigurationProperties
mechanism.
The earlier configuration examples all use a shortcut notation that uses positional arguments rather than named ones. The following two examples are equivalent:
spring:
cloud:
gateway:
routes:
- id: setstatus_route
uri: https://example.org
filters:
- name: SetStatus
args:
status: 401
- id: setstatusshortcut_route
uri: https://example.org
filters:
- SetStatus=401
For some usages of the gateway, properties are adequate, but some production use cases benefit from loading configuration from an external source, such as a database. Future milestone versions will have RouteDefinitionLocator
implementations based off of Spring Data Repositories, such as Redis, MongoDB, and Cassandra.
