correlation-id-sync | simple Spring boot-based application | Application Framework library

correlation-id-sync is a Java library typically used in Server, Application Framework, Spring Boot applications. correlation-id-sync has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This is a simple Spring boot-based application that demonstrates how request correlationIds could be generated and managed in order to correlate an initial request through a distributed (SOA/microservices) application. Please note that this version relies on ThreadLocal, and so will only work if you are handling requests synchronously in the initiating thread. As soon as you use a DeferredResult, Future or Callable, this reliance on ThreadLocal will not propogate the correlationIds unless they are manually passed as method parameters (or some similiar approach). Disclaimer: This is just an experiment and toy-example! I’m not suggesting this code is production-ready! :-).
