Ahead-of-Time Processing With the JVM

It’s beneficial for the startup time to run your application using the AOT generated initialization code. First, you need to ensure that the jar you are building includes AOT generated code.spring-doc.cn

CDS and AOT can be combined to further improve startup time.

For Maven, this means that you should build with -Pnative to activate the native profile:spring-doc.cn

$ mvn -Pnative package

For Gradle, you need to ensure that your build includes the org.springframework.boot.aot plugin.spring-doc.cn

When the JAR has been built, run it with spring.aot.enabled system property set to true. For example:spring-doc.cn

$ java -Dspring.aot.enabled=true -jar myapplication.jar

........ Starting AOT-processed MyApplication ...

Beware that using the ahead-of-time processing has drawbacks. It implies the following restrictions:spring-doc.cn

The classpath is fixed and fully defined at build timespring-doc.cn
The beans defined in your application cannot change at runtime, meaning:spring-doc.cn
- The Spring @Profile annotation and profile-specific configuration have limitations.spring-doc.cn
- Properties that change if a bean is created are not supported (for example, @ConditionalOnProperty and .enable properties).spring-doc.cn
