If auto configuration is enabled in spring boot application and the ConditionalOnClass property is modified, the dependent class shows in auto configuration report
Auto Configuration Report
Negative matches:
JpaBaseConfiguration.JpaWebConfiguration:
Did not match:
- @ConditionalOnProperty (spring.jpa.open-in-view=true) found different value in property 'open-in-view' (OnPropertyCondition)
Matched:
- @ConditionalOnClass found required class 'org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer' (OnClassCondition)
- found 'session' scope (OnWebApplicationCondition)
Positive matches:
JpaBaseConfiguration.JpaWebConfiguration matched:
- @ConditionalOnClass found required class 'org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer' (OnClassCondition)
- found 'session' scope (OnWebApplicationCondition)
Root Cause
The conditional configuration specified in annotation @ConditionalOnClass has been changed. So the dependent class is shown in the auto configuration report.
Reason
@ConditionalOnClass - Conditional that only matches when the specified classes are on the classpath.Explanation
In the above example, a configuration ‘spring.jpa.open-in-view’ is modified in application.properties. This property has dependency class ‘org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer’ based on condition.
The specified class will be available in class path if the condition returns true based on configuration value.
The specified class will not be available in class path if the condition returns false. Condition checks based on configuration value.
Session Scope
If the spring boot runs web application then this scope will be applicable. If it is a spring boot web application, the specified class will be loaded in session scope
