CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.Java 13.2.1-beta.528

CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.Java

Provides extension methods and resource definitions for the .NET Aspire AppHost to support running Java applications. The integration supports Maven, Gradle, and standalone JAR-based applications.

Install the package

In your AppHost project, install the package:

dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.Java

Add a Java application resource

Run with Maven

Use WithMavenGoal to run the application using a Maven goal:

var app = builder.AddJavaApp("app", "../java-project")
    .WithMavenGoal("spring-boot:run")
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");

Pass additional arguments:

var app = builder.AddJavaApp("app", "../java-project")
    .WithMavenGoal("spring-boot:run", "-Dspring-boot.run.profiles=dev")
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");

Run with Gradle

Use WithGradleTask to run the application using a Gradle task:

var app = builder.AddJavaApp("app", "../java-project")
    .WithGradleTask("bootRun")
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");

Run with a JAR file

To run an existing JAR file, pass the jarPath parameter:

var app = builder.AddJavaApp("app", "../java-project", "target/app.jar")
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");

Build before run

Use WithMavenBuild or WithGradleBuild to compile the application before it starts. This is typically not needed when using WithMavenGoal or WithGradleTask, as those goals usually handle building automatically.

var app = builder.AddJavaApp("app", "../java-project", "target/app.jar")
    .WithMavenBuild()
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");

Add a containerized Java application

To run a Java application from a container image, use AddJavaContainerApp:

var app = builder.AddJavaContainerApp("app", "my-java-image", "latest")
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");

JVM configuration

JVM arguments

Use WithJvmArgs to configure JVM arguments:

var app = builder.AddJavaApp("app", "../java-project")
    .WithMavenGoal("spring-boot:run")
    .WithJvmArgs(["-Xmx512m", "-Xms256m"])
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");

OpenTelemetry agent

Use WithOtelAgent to configure the OpenTelemetry Java Agent:

var app = builder.AddJavaApp("app", "../java-project", "target/app.jar")
    .WithOtelAgent("../agents/opentelemetry-javaagent.jar")
    .WithHttpEndpoint(targetPort: 8080, env: "SERVER_PORT");
