SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates architectural drift and inconsistent implementation patterns in Spring Boot 3.x services by enforcing strict layering, dependency injection, and configuration standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural Enforcement: Mandates constructor injection and strict separation between controllers, services, and repositories.
  • Standardized Error Handling: Provides a unified approach to mapping domain exceptions to HTTP status codes via RestControllerAdvice.
  • Observability & Config: Ensures consistent Actuator wiring, typed configuration properties, and secure secret management.
  • Use Case: When building a new microservice, use this Skill to ensure your DTOs, validation logic, and API versioning align with team standards, preventing common pitfalls like field-level injection or leaking JPA entities.

Quick Start

Apply the spring-boot skill conventions to the current service to validate the controller layering and configuration structure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce strict layering and constructor injection in Spring Boot 3.x microservices?

To enforce strict layering and constructor injection in Spring Boot 3.x, apply standardized architectural conventions that mandate separation between controllers, services, and repositories. This prevents architectural drift and eliminates inconsistent field-level injection patterns across your Java backend stack.

What is the best way to standardize exception handling and map domain exceptions to HTTP status codes in Spring Boot?

The best way to standardize exception handling in Spring Boot is using a RestControllerAdvice for centralized mapping. This provides a unified approach to translating domain exceptions into consistent HTTP status codes across all your microservices.

How do I prevent leaking JPA entities and ensure API versioning aligns with team standards in a new Java backend?

To prevent leaking JPA entities and align API versioning with team standards, validate your DTOs, validation logic, and controllers against strict architectural standards. This ensures proper separation and stops domain entities from escaping through your API boundaries.

Does this Spring Boot architecture standard support consistent Actuator wiring and typed configuration properties?

Yes, this Spring Boot architecture standard supports consistent Actuator wiring, typed configuration properties, and secure secret management. It ensures observability and configuration components are structured correctly within your Java microservices.

When should I not use a strict standardized architecture for my Spring Boot microservices?

You should not use strict standardized architecture for Spring Boot microservices when building rapid prototypes or small scripts that do not require centralized exception handling. The strict layering and dependency injection rules add structural overhead better suited for long-term, scalable backend applications.
