Google Cloud Platform App Engine Deployment Experience

#java #spring #gcp #gae

This article describes some of the challenges and pecularities of deploying an annotated @SpringBootApplication application to Google Cloud Platform.

Set-Up

This article assumes that the Google Cloud SDK has been installed and has been configured. Further, this article assumes that a project has been set-up within the Google Cloud Platform Console.

The default Google App Engine service must be created. It may be created from the command line with gcloud app create.

WAR Maven Project

The Maven Project to create the WAR for deployment consists of the following artifacts:

www-example-com-service-default
├── pom.xml
└── src
    └── main
        ├── resources
        │   └── application-gcp.properties
        └── webapp
            └── WEB-INF
                ├── logging.properties
                └── web.xml
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For simplicity, this example assumes a Spring Boot application is available as a single Maven dependency. The project POM to deploy the application is identified with groupId corresponding to the Google Cloud PROJECT_ID, artifactId corresponding to the App Engine service name, and version corresponds to the App Engine service version.

<project ...>
  <groupId>www-example-com</groupId>
  <artifactId>default</artifactId>
  <version>2018121801</version>
  <packaging>war</packaging>
  <parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.1.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/>
  </parent>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.example</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-application</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
    ...
  </dependencies>
  ...
</project>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Runtime dependencies should be added, also. For example, the necessary dependencies to connect to a Google mysql SQL instance would include:

  <dependencies>
    ...
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.cloud.sql</groupId>
      <artifactId>mysql-socket-factory</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.11</version>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>mysql</groupId>
      <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
      <version>8.0.13</version>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>
    ...
  </dependencies>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The necessary plugins to build the WAR and repackage the WAR as a Spring Boot application are:

  ...
  <properties>
    ...
    <start-class>com.example.Launcher</start-class>
    ...
  </properties>
  ...
  <build>
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
          <configuration>
            <delimiters>
              <delimiter>@</delimiter>
            </delimiters>
            <useDefaultDelimiters>false</useDefaultDelimiters>
            <webResources>
              <resource>
                <filtering>true</filtering>
                <directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
              </resource>
            </webResources>
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
          <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <goals>
                <goal>build-info</goal>
                <goal>repackage</goal>
              </goals>
            </execution>
          </executions>
          <configuration>
            <mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass>
          </configuration>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
    ...
  </build>
  ...

The additional artifacts used in constructing the WAR include src/main/resources/application-gcp.properties,

spring.datasource.url: @spring.datasource.url@
spring.datasource.username: @spring.datasource.username@
spring.datasource.password: @spring.datasource.password@

spring.main.banner-mode: OFF
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
                             http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
                             version="3.1">
  <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>HTTPS Redirect</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <user-data-constraint>
      <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
    </user-data-constraint>
  </security-constraint>
</web-app>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/logging.properties:

# Set the default logging level for all loggers to WARNING
.level = WARNING
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The resulting WAR is expected to be executed with the Spring Profile "gcp" enabled. The secrets in the template may be populated by setting the corresponding Maven properties in the build.1 While the web.xml is not needed by the annotated Spring Boot Application, it is configured to redirect http traffic to https and provide session management.

The WAR may be created by executing mvn clean package.

Adjustments to Deploy to Google App Engine

The "standard" App Engine environment uses Jetty instead of Tomcat so the application dependencies need to be adjusted by adding exclusions:

  <dependencies verbose="true">
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.example</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-application</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
      <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
          <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
          <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
          <artifactId>javax.transaction-api</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
          <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
      </exclusions>
    </dependency>
    ...
  </dependencies>

Google offers at least two Maven plugins. As of this writing, the two available plugins are:

  <build>
    <pluginManagement>
      ...
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
          <artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>1.9.70</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>com.google.cloud.tools</groupId>
          <artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>1.3.2</version>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
      ...
    </pluginManagement>
    ...
  </build>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Google describes the first as "App Engine SDK-based" and provides a document on this plugin here and the second as "Cloud SDK-based" with a document on this plugin here. The Cloud SDK-based plugin also requires the app-engine-java component be installed with gcloud components install app-engine-java.

Both plugins (as with any deployment to App Engine) require a src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml which is either specified and/or generated. This application includes the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appengine-web-app xmlns="http://appengine.google.com/ns/1.0">
  <application>@project.groupId@</application>
  <service>@project.artifactId@</service>
  <version>@project.version@</version>
  <runtime>java8</runtime>
  <basic-scaling>
    <max-instances>1</max-instances>
    <idle-timeout>5m</idle-timeout>
  </basic-scaling>
  <instance-class>B1</instance-class>
  <threadsafe>true</threadsafe>
  <sessions-enabled>true</sessions-enabled>
  <env-variables>
    <env-var name="SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE" value="gcp"/>
  </env-variables>
  <system-properties>
    <property name="java.util.logging.config.file" value="WEB-INF/logging.properties"/>
  </system-properties>
</appengine-web-app>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

which has the following features (in addition to specifying scaling):

  • Sets the SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE environment variable to gcp to enable the Spring profile
  • Configures java.util.logging

For this demonstration, the com.google.appengine:appengine-maven-plugin is configured in a Maven profile:

  <profiles>
    ...
    <profile>
      <id>com.google.appengine:appengine-maven-plugin</id>
      <activation>
        <file><missing>${basedir}/src/main/appengine/app.yaml</missing></file>
      </activation>
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
            <artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
    </profile>
    ...
  </profiles>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The application may be built and deployed with mvn clean package appengine:deploy. Example output:

mvn -B clean package appengine:deploy

This deploys the service but does not switch the load balancer to the new service.

The com.google.cloud.tools:appengine-maven-plugin may be configured with an src/main/appengine/app.yaml:

Various articles suggest that a minimal app.yaml can replace the appengine-web.xml:

runtime: java8

However, it fails with a cryptic error message:
