# Azure App Configuration SDK for Java


Client library for Azure App Configuration, a managed service for centralizing application configurations.


Installation


xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-data-appconfiguration</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>

Or use Azure SDK BOM:


xml
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
            <artifactId>azure-sdk-bom</artifactId>
            <version>{bom_version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
        <artifactId>azure-data-appconfiguration</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Prerequisites


- Azure App Configuration store

- Connection string or Entra ID credentials


Environment Variables


bash
AZURE_APPCONFIG_CONNECTION_STRING=Endpoint=https://<store>.azconfig.io;Id=<id>;Secret=<secret>
AZURE_APPCONFIG_ENDPOINT=https://<store>.azconfig.io

Client Creation


With Connection String


java
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


java
import com.azure.data.appconfiguration.ConfigurationAsyncClient;

ConfigurationAsyncClient asyncClient = new ConfigurationClientBuilder()
    .connectionString(connectionString)
    .buildAsyncClient();

With Entra ID (Recommended)


java
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:


java
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:


java
ConfigurationSetting setting = configClient.setConfigurationSetting(
    "app/cache/enabled", 
    "Production", 
    "true"
);

Get Setting


java
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)


java
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


java
ConfigurationSetting updated = configClient.setConfigurationSetting(
    "app/cache/enabled", 
    "Production", 
    "false"
);
