Custom connected system plug-in integrated with Spring Boot

Certified Associate Developer

I'm developing a custom connected system plugin with related integrations.

1. Does Appian use Spring Boot? If not, then the next question is mute.

2. Does Appian scan for @Component (or any other class annotations) so that these classes are managed by Spring Boot, autowired for dependency injection, etc.?

It would be nice if classes developed within a plug-in were Spring managed.

TIA,

Eric

    Hi Emiles,
    To answer your question
    1)Appian supports Java based plugins, if you are building plugin based on java by using spring boot framework, you can deploy into Appian Environment.
    2)While deploying the plugin, Appian scans the plugin jar file, validates all the contains inside the jar file, if any class or anything missing, it will mention the required functionalities or error message for Tomcat log file.
