Java Buildpack v4.72.0
The Java Buildpack v4.72.0 adds a Spring Boot Efficiency feature and some dependency updates to the Cloud Foundry Java Buildpack.
Spring Boot Efficiency
Spring Boot Efficiency is a new Java Buildpack ‘container’ which runs your application in a ‘training-run’ mode during staging, to create a cache of classes that allow a faster startup time at runtime. The feature is supported for Spring Boot 3.3.0+ applications, and takes advantage of the JVM feature ‘Class Data Sharing’ (CDS) and the Spring framework support.
To enable this feature, set the following environment variable:
cf set-env <app> JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_BOOT_EFFICIENCY '{ cds_enabled: true }'
If your app has been built with Ahead-of-Time (AOT) processing, you can additionally enable the AOT flag in the same variable for a further improvement in startup time:
cf set-env <app> JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_BOOT_EFFICIENCY '{ aot_enabled: true, cds_enabled: true }'
The feature works as follows:
- When Spring Boot Efficiency is enabled, the buildpack runs your application during staging in a ‘training run’ mode, which generates a CDS archive.
- The runtime command is then configured to use this archive, providing a faster application startup time.
- To enable the creation of this archive, set the following environment variable:
cf set-env <app> JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_BOOT_EFFICIENCY '{ cds_enabled: true }'
- If your application has been built with Ahead-of-Time (AOT) processing, you can additionally enable the following AOT flag in the same variable for a further improvement in startup time:
cf set-env <app> JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_BOOT_EFFICIENCY '{ aot_enabled: true, cds_enabled: true }' - For advanced configuration of the Java arguments that are passed to the ‘training-run’ during staging, you can also set the following option:
cf set-env <app> JBP_CONFIG_SPRING_BOOT_EFFICIENCY '{ cds_training_opts: "<args>", cds_enabled: true }' - Custom training-run options should not be combined with enabling the AOT efficiency option (‘aot-enabled: true’).
- This is because the AOT classes used during training run won’t be compatible with a different set of JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS at runtime; see Spring Integration listeners fail after devtools restart.
NoteSince Spring Boot 3.0+ applications require Java 17, you must enable at least this JRE version when pushing your app.
