Extended class method are not available when exported as library-CodePudding

I am trying to build a java library (streaming-client.jar) and use it in client microservice.

Within this jar file I have one POJO class which is extending third party POJO classs

 @ConditionalOnClass({Options.class})
 @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "nats.spring")
 public class ServerProps extends NatsProperties {
 
   public ServerProps(){ super(); }
  }

Now this NatsProperties class is coming from third party library and this class extends another autoconfiguration class.

When I use ServerProps locally within this libary I can access the methods from NatsProperties super class.

But When I export this library as jar file. and use it in client application.

NatsProperties methods are not available via ServerProps class

At client

  ServerProps props = new ServerProps();
  props.server("sdfsfsdfsdf")//server method cant be resolved,

EDIT

I tried adding all the methods from NatsProperties class to my custom Class StreamingServerProperties

then when I tried to access them in other project like below

   StreamingServerProperties props = new StreamingServerProperties();
   props.server("serverUrl") //Intellij complains that Cannot access io.nats.spring.boot.autoconfigure.NatsProperties

build.gradle of streaming-client.jar

  plugins {
    id 'java-library'
    id 'maven-publish'
    id "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow" version "7.1.2"

    mavenCentral()

                from components.java

                    usage('java-api') {
                        fromResolutionOf('runtimeClasspath')
                    }
               usage('java-runtime') {
                   fromResolutionResult()
               }
            }
         }
     }
   }
  tasks.named('compileJava') {
        inputs.files(tasks.named('processResources'))
  }
 dependencies {
     implementation 'io.nats:nats-spring:0.5.6'
     testImplementation 'org.junit.vintage:junit-vintage-engine:5.9.0'
     testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test:2.6.3'
     testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.9.0'
     testImplementation 'org.junit.platform:junit-platform-engine:1.9.0'
        testImplementation 'org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher:1.8.2'
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.9.0'
    implementation('np.com.madanpokharel.embed:nats-embedded:2.1.0')
   }

  tasks.named('test') {
   useJUnitPlatform()
 }

I am using ./gradlew build task which generates a jar and with this jar I am not able to get the NatsProperties class methods.

But if I use fatJar task from this shadow plugin I am able to get the methods but thing is its creating all of the libraries and size is too big.

CodePudding user response：

Can you add this dependency so intellij will generate the configuration metadata for you in target

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-configuration-processor</artifactId>
    <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>

CodePudding user response：

I was able to solve it by adding dependency as an api

instead of

   implementation 'io.nats:nats-sprin:0.5.6' // this adds to runtimeclass path

I tried this

   api 'io.nats:nats-sprin:0.5.6' //this adds to both compile and runtime

As I am using java-library gradle plugin.
