Viewing Spring Boot autoconfiguration

[Daniel Trebbien]

Is it possible to print out Spring Boot's autoconfiguration as Spring XML configuration or in some other format? I would like to be able to inspect the autoconfiguration so that I can verify that the beans have been configured as I am expecting them to be configured.

Auto-configuration happens at runtime, not as code generation. Therefore, there's really not an XML config file or a Java

@Configuration

class to look at.

However, if you have the Actuator in play at runtime, then the /beans endpoint will produce a JSON document describing all of the beans in the application context as well as what they're injected with. And the /autoconfig endpoint will produce a report explaining the auto-configuration decisions that were made (grouped by conditions that passed and conditions that failed).
