The base class for Dropwizard applications. Because the default constructor will be inherited by all subclasses, {BootstrapLogging.bootstrap()} will always be invoked. The log level used during the bootstrap process can be configured by {Application} subclasses by overriding {#bootstrapLogLevel}.
Type parameters:
  • <T> – the type of configuration class for this application
