This involved a small code change to the generated configuration properties snippets. The section id has to start with 'appendix.', otherwise the section-id asciidoctor extension complains. To ensure that the anchors that are derived from the section IDs remain backwards compatible, the anchor-rewrite properties have been updated. See gh-29667

== Spring Boot's "`JarFile`" Class
|
|
The core class used to support loading nested jars is `org.springframework.boot.loader.jar.JarFile`.
|
|
It lets you load jar content from a standard jar file or from nested child jar data.
|
|
When first loaded, the location of each `JarEntry` is mapped to a physical file offset of the outer jar, as shown in the following example:
|
|
|
|
[indent=0]
|
|
----
|
|
myapp.jar
|
|
+-------------------+-------------------------+
|
|
| /BOOT-INF/classes | /BOOT-INF/lib/mylib.jar |
|
|
|+-----------------+||+-----------+----------+|
|
|
|| A.class ||| B.class | C.class ||
|
|
|+-----------------+||+-----------+----------+|
|
|
+-------------------+-------------------------+
|
|
^ ^ ^
|
|
0063 3452 3980
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The preceding example shows how `A.class` can be found in `/BOOT-INF/classes` in `myapp.jar` at position `0063`.
|
|
`B.class` from the nested jar can actually be found in `myapp.jar` at position `3452`, and `C.class` is at position `3980`.
|
|
|
|
Armed with this information, we can load specific nested entries by seeking to the appropriate part of the outer jar.
|
|
We do not need to unpack the archive, and we do not need to read all entry data into memory.
|

=== Compatibility with the Standard Java "`JarFile`"
|
|
Spring Boot Loader strives to remain compatible with existing code and libraries.
|
|
`org.springframework.boot.loader.jar.JarFile` extends from `java.util.jar.JarFile` and should work as a drop-in replacement.
|
|
The `getURL()` method returns a `URL` that opens a connection compatible with `java.net.JarURLConnection` and can be used with Java's `URLClassLoader`.
