Capability Manifest: Spring Boot Enterprise

This blueprint provides the procedural truth for engineering, testing, and deploying high-fidelity Spring Boot 3+ services in the Antigravity Agent Factory.

Operational Environment

  • JDK: 21 (LTS) - Mandatory usage of records, sealed classes, and switch expressions.
  • Build: Maven 3.9+ (Wrapped).
  • Primary Stack: Boot 3.4, Spring Data JPA (PostgreSQL), Spring Security (OIDC), Micrometer (OTEL).

Process

Follow these procedures to build enterprise-grade Spring Boot applications:

Procedure 1: Scaffolding a Service

Execute these steps in sequence to ensure standard factory hygiene:

  1. Generate: mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=antigravity-service-pattern (or use internal scaffold.py).
  2. Verify Structure: Ensure src/main/java follows com.antigravity.[domain].[service] pattern.
  3. Truth Check: Validate that pom.xml contains the spring-boot-starter-validation and spring-boot-starter-actuator.

Procedure 2: Implementing a Domain Feature (Red-Green-Refactor)

  1. Red: Create a Slice Test (e.g., @WebMvcTest for API or @DataJpaTest for Persistence).
    • Tool: mvn test -Dtest=MyFeatureTest
  2. Green: Implement the service logic.
    • Axiom Check: Use a record for DTOs. Never leak Entities through the Controller.
  3. Refactor: Run Static Analysis.
    • Tool: mvn checkstyle:check and mvn pmd:check.

Procedure 3: Resilience & Observability Setup

  1. Add Actuator: Ensure /actuator/health and /actuator/metrics are exposed but secured.
  2. Configure Logging: Use logback-spring.xml with JSON output for ELK/Loki.
  3. Circuit Breakers: Use Resilience4j for all external API calls.

Process (Fail-State & Recovery)

| Symptom | Probable Cause | Recovery Operation | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | BeanDefinitionOverrideException | Duplicate bean names in context. | Check for @Component vs @Bean duplication in @Configuration classes. Use @Primary only as a last resort. | | LazyInitializationException | Accessing proxy outside transaction. | Never use spring.jpa.open-in-view=true. Use DTO mapping within the @Service layer or EntityGraph. | | ConnectionTimeout | DB Pool saturation. | Check hikari.maximum-pool-size. Verify all DB streams/connections are within try-with-resources. |

Idiomatic Code Patterns (The Gold Standard)

The "Truthful" Record DTO

public record UserResponse(
    UUID id,
    @NotBlank String username,
    @Email String email,
    LocalDateTime createdAt
) {}

The "Observable" Service

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public class OrderService {
    private final ObservationRegistry observationRegistry;

    @Transactional
    public OrderResponse placeOrder(OrderRequest request) {
        return Observation.createNotStarted("order.place", observationRegistry)
            .observe(() -> {
                // Business logic here
                return new OrderResponse(...);
            });
    }
}

Prerequisites

| Action | Command | | :--- | :--- | | Build & Check | mvn clean verify | | Fast Test Loop | mvn test -DskipITs | | Check Vulnerabilities | mvn ossindex:audit | | Format Code | mvn spotless:apply |

When to Use

Use this blueprint whenever building, refactoring, or debugging a Java/Spring service. It is the authoritative source for "How we build" vs "What Spring is."

Best Practices

  • Follow the system axioms (A1-A5)
  • Ensure all changes are verifiable
  • Document complex logic for future maintenance
