Spring MicroService registration with Eureka Server

In Last Post ( Eureka Server ) we have seen that how to create a Eureka Server. Now we learn how to register our microservices on Eureka Server, We register our microservice on Eureka because of we need a dashboard where we can check status of our all microservices. So for registering them on eureka we have to follow below steps.

1. Create a project and add required dependency in your pom.xml file
2. Enable your main class as a client using @EnableEurekaClient annotation.
3. Define Eureka Server path in your application.properties file.

Follow above steps:

1- Add Below dependency in pom.xml

<dependency>			 
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>			 
 <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>

2- Enable Eureka Client using @EnableEurekaClient

package com.javadream;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.EnableEurekaClient;

@EnableEurekaClient
@SpringBootApplication
public class MicroService1Application {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(MicroService1Application.class, args);
	}

}

3- Define below lines in your application.properties file

spring.application.name=microservice-1
server.port=8081
eureka.client.service-url.default-zone=http://localhost:8761/eureka

Now run this application and check your Eureka Server You will get a instance of MICROSERVICE-1 on port 8081.

NOTE: Make Sure before running your microservice-1 application your eureka server is already running otherwise it will throw exception that no server found.
