Need help to understand standard flow for handling additional-information-required scenario.

Context: We have a number of product implementations, all integrated with a central single sign-on server. A registered customer can opt to start using new products on-demand. But some of the products require the customer to carry out some one-off setup steps before they use the product - these steps are only needed the very first time of using the product.

Consider a customer is on the page https://product-abc.ourdomain.com. And now clicks on a link within that product something like 'do something (note, this will redirect you to product-xyz)'. At this point the customer is redirected to https://product-xyz.ourdomain.com. Here we want to detect whether the customer is using the product for the first time and if yes, redirect the user to a setup page wherein we can prompt them to supply the product-specific additional information. On the other hand, if the customer is already configured for the product, they will just navigate into the product page and continue using it.

I wanted to know if there is something similar to the 401 Unauthorized flow to handle this. With authentication flow,

• A client tries accessing a protected resource.
• The server checks the caller has requisite authentication and if not, returns 401 Unauthorized status code with additional details in the WWW-Authenticate header.
• The client carries out authentication - say by integrating with the central single sign-on server - and then reattempts the original request, this time succeeding.

I'm wondering if there is a similar flow like,

• A client tries accessing a protected resource.
• The server checks whether the client is OK to use it. In our case, if its the first time a customer is accessing the product, this check will determine additional setup is required. For example, the client has to supply us with their correspondence address so that we can set up a data tenancy for the specific customer. Here I would like to return a HTTP status code, say, 4xx Setup Required with additional information in a header, say, WWW-SetupInfo.
• Once the initial-setup flow is completed, the customer will be redirected to the main product and carry on using it.

The nearest status code that seems to match my usecase is 402 Payment Required, but product-xyz doesn't need any specific subscription or payment. We just need some product-specific additional information to do the initial configuration.

I can handle it by doing custom implementation using 3xx redirect but I was wondering if there is a better way of handling it.

Thanks for any pointers.

when I try to build a spring-boot project I am getting 403 Forbidden errors for a particular repository. This causes the build to fail.

Dependency:

TL;DR: How does one build a Gluon app that's part of a larger multi-module project?

I have a multi-module Mave project (that is, my top-level POM has "pom"). The project contains a bunch of libraries and related sub-projects, one of which is a Gluon app that will be what my actual users install. (The rest of the project is all the cloud-hosted plumbing that the client app connects to.)

When I try to build the Gluon app, per the Gluon documentation, I am getting the following error:

I added a new dependency to my project:

Hello Stack Overflow community and anyone familiar with spring-kafka!

I am currently working on a project which leverages the @RetryableTopic feature from spring-kafka in order to reattempt the delivery of failed messages. The listener annotated with @RetryableTopic is consuming from a topic that has 50 partitions and 3 replicas. When the app is receiving a lot of traffic, it could possibly be autoscaled up to 50 instances of the app (consumers) grabbing from those partitions. I read in the spring-kafka documentation that by default, the retry topics that @RetryableTopic autocreates are created with one partition and one replica, but you can change these values with autoCreateTopicsWith() in the configuration. From this, I have a few questions:

• With the autoscaling in mind, is it recommended to just create the retry topics with the same number of partitions and replicas (50 & 3) as the original topic?
• Is there some benefit to having differing numbers of partitions/replicas for the retry topics considering their default values are just one?

A month ago, I can build my Java Application successfully on my IntelliJ IDEA from scratch, and now, I have to upgrade my spring-boot to get some new features. But, after I change the version of spring-boot from 2.2.2.RELEASE to other version and click the button of Reload All Maven Projects, I get the message:

2. A plain Java project build with plain Maven, no OSGI, no Tycho

I need to use some of the bundles from the 1st project in the 2nd project. I tried to install the jar files from the 1st project into a local maven repository using mvn clean install. And tried to reference them from the 2nd project. But I get the following error:
