- Azure App Configuration store
- Connection string or Entra ID credentials
Environment Variables
AZURE_APPCONFIG_CONNECTION_STRING=Endpoint=https://<store>.azconfig.io;Id=<id>;Secret=<secret>
AZURE_APPCONFIG_ENDPOINT=https://<store>.azconfig.ioClient Creation
With Connection String
import com.azure.data.appconfiguration.ConfigurationClient;
import com.azure.data.appconfiguration.ConfigurationClientBuilder;
ConfigurationClient configClient = new ConfigurationClientBuilder()
.connectionString(System.getenv("AZURE_APPCONFIG_CONNECTION_STRING"))
.buildClient();Async Client
import com.azure.data.appconfiguration.ConfigurationAsyncClient;
ConfigurationAsyncClient asyncClient = new ConfigurationClientBuilder()
.connectionString(connectionString)
.buildAsyncClient();With Entra ID (Recommended)
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
ConfigurationClient configClient = new ConfigurationClientBuilder()
.credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
.endpoint(System.getenv("AZURE_APPCONFIG_ENDPOINT"))
.buildClient();Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Configuration Setting | Key-value pair with optional label |
| Label | Dimension for separating settings (e.g., environments) |
| Feature Flag | Special setting for feature management |
| Secret Reference | Setting pointing to Key Vault secret |
| Snapshot | Point-in-time immutable view of settings |
Configuration Setting Operations
Create Setting (Add)
Creates only if setting doesn't exist:
import com.azure.data.appconfiguration.models.ConfigurationSetting;
ConfigurationSetting setting = configClient.addConfigurationSetting(
"app/database/connection",
"Production",
"Server=prod.db.com;Database=myapp"
);Create or Update Setting (Set)
Creates or overwrites:
ConfigurationSetting setting = configClient.setConfigurationSetting(
"app/cache/enabled",
"Production",
"true"
);Get Setting
ConfigurationSetting setting = configClient.getConfigurationSetting(
"app/database/connection",
"Production"
);
System.out.println("Value: " + setting.getValue());
System.out.println("Content-Type: " + setting.getContentType());
System.out.println("Last Modified: " + setting.getLastModified());Conditional Get (If Changed)
import com.azure.core.http.rest.Response;
import com.azure.core.util.Context;
Response<ConfigurationSetting> response = configClient.getConfigurationSettingWithResponse(
setting, // Setting with ETag
null, // Accept datetime
true, // ifChanged - only fetch if modified
Context.NONE
);
if (response.getStatusCode() == 304) {
System.out.println("Setting not modified");
} else {
ConfigurationSetting updated = response.getValue();
}Update Setting
ConfigurationSetting updated = configClient.setConfigurationSetting(
"app/cache/enabled",
"Production",
"false"
);Conditional Update (If
