spring-boot-modulith

Spring Modulith 2.0 implementation for bounded contexts in Spring Boot 4. Use when structuring application modules, implementing @ApplicationModuleListener for event-driven communication, testing with Scenario API, enforcing module boundaries, externalizing events to Kafka/AMQP, building a modular monolith, defining module dependencies, managing inter-module events, or organizing DDD modules as packages. Covers package-based module boundaries, named interfaces, event publication, and Scenario API testing. For architecture decisions, see domain-driven-design skill.

Spring Modulith for Bounded Contexts

Implements DDD bounded contexts as application modules with enforced boundaries and event-driven communication.

Core Concepts

ConceptDescription
Application ModulePackage-based boundary = bounded context
Module APITypes in base package (public)
InternalTypes in sub-packages (encapsulated)
EventsCross-module communication mechanism

Module Structure

src/main/java/
├── com.example/
│   └── Application.java              ← @SpringBootApplication
├── com.example.order/                ← Module: order
│   ├── OrderService.java             ← Public API
│   ├── OrderCreated.java             ← Public event
│   ├── package-info.java             ← @ApplicationModule config
│   └── internal/                     ← Encapsulated
│       ├── OrderRepository.java
│       └── OrderEntity.java
├── com.example.inventory/            ← Module: inventory
│   ├── InventoryService.java
│   └── internal/
└── com.example.shipping/             ← Module: shipping

Types in com.example.order = public API Types in com.example.order.internal = hidden from other modules

Quick Patterns

See EXAMPLES.md for complete working examples including:

  • Module Configuration with @ApplicationModule
  • Event Publishing with domain event records
  • Event Handling with @ApplicationModuleListener (Java + Kotlin)
  • Module Verification Test with PlantUML generation
  • Event Externalization for Kafka/AMQP

Spring Boot 4 / Modulith 2.0 Specifics

  • @ApplicationModuleListener combines @Async + @Transactional(REQUIRES_NEW) + @TransactionalEventListener(AFTER_COMMIT)
  • Event Externalization with @Externalized annotation for Kafka/AMQP
  • JDBC event log ensures at-least-once delivery

Anti-Pattern Checklist

Anti-PatternFix
Direct bean injection across modulesUse events or expose API
Synchronous cross-module callsUse @ApplicationModuleListener
Module dependencies not declaredAdd allowedDependencies in @ApplicationModule
Missing verification testAdd ApplicationModules.verify() test
Internal types in public APIMove to .internal sub-package
Events without dataInclude all data handlers need

Critical Reminders

  1. One module = one bounded context — Mirror DDD boundaries
  2. Events are the integration mechanism — Not direct method calls
  3. Verify in CI — ApplicationModules.verify() catches boundary violations
  4. Reference by ID — Never direct object references across modules
  5. Transaction per module — @ApplicationModuleListener ensures isolation

Zero-dependency live-preview server providing an agent↔browser bidirectional companion. Watches a content directory, wraps HTML fragments in a frame template, broadcasts live-reload over WebSocket, and captures browser-side click events to a JSONL file. Use when an agent needs to show HTML to the user in a browser and react to clicks — mockups, design exploration, gallery browsing, multi-select choices, prototype iteration. Triggered by "live preview", "browser companion", "preview server", "browser mockup", "show in browser", "arkhe-preview", or any skill that wants to write HTML fragments and have the user see them reload in real time.
