This is a LEANSTACKS solution.
For more detailed information and instruction about constructing Spring Boot RESTful web services, see the book Lean Application Engineering Featuring Backbone.Marionette and the Spring Framework.
LEANSTACKS offers several technology instruction video series, publications, and starter projects. For more information go to LeanStacks.com.
This repository is a companion for the LEANSTACKS YouTube channel playlist entitled Spring Boot Fundamentals.
Each episode of the Spring Boot Fundamentals video series has a corresponding branch in this repository. For example, all of the source code illustrated in the episode entitled Bootstrapping a Spring Boot Application Project may be found on the repository branch named bootstrap.
The branch named bootstrap contains the source code illustrated in the episode Bootstrapping a Spring Boot Application Project.
The branch named restws-1 contains the source code illustrated in the episode Creating RESTful Web Services with Spring Boot - Part 1.
The branch named restws-2 contains the source code illustrated in the episode Creating RESTful Web Services with Spring Boot - Part 2.
The branch named service contains the source code illustrated in the episode Creating Service Components with Spring Boot.
The branch named repository contains the source code illustrated in the episode Using Spring Data Repositories with Spring Boot.
The branch named transactional contains the source code illustrated in the episode Declarative Transaction Management with Spring Boot.
The branch named cache contains the source code illustrated in the episode Declarative Cache Management with Spring Boot.
The branch named scheduled contains the source code illustrated in the episode Creating Scheduled Processes with Spring Boot.
The branch named async contains the source code illustrated in the episode Creating Asynchronous Processes with Spring Boot.
The branch named configuration contains the source code illustrated in the episode Using Profiles and Properties to Create Environment-Specific Runtime Configurations with Spring Boot.
The branch named unit-test contains the source code illustrated in the episode Creating Unit Tests with Spring Boot.
This project is authored in Java.
Fork the Spring Boot Fundamentals repository on GitHub. Clone the project to your host machine.
The project requires the following dependencies be installed on the host machine:
- Java Development Kit 8 or later
- Apache Maven 3 or later
The project uses Maven for build, package, and test workflow automation. The following Maven goals are the most commonly used.
The spring-boot:run Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:
- compiles Java classes to the /target directory
- copies all resources to the /target directory
- starts an embedded Apache Tomcat server
To execute the spring-boot:run Maven goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.
mvn spring-boot:run
Type ctrl-C to halt the web server.
This goal is used for local machine development and functional testing. Use the package goal for server deployment.
The test Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:
- compiles Java classes to the /target directory
- copies all resources to the /target directory
- executes the unit test suites
- produces unit test reports
The test Maven goal is designed to allow engineers the means to run the unit test suites against the main source code. This goal may also be used on continuous integration servers such as Jenkins, etc.
To execute the test Maven goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.
mvn clean test
The package Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:
- compiles Java classes to the /target directory
- copies all resources to the /target directory
- executes the unit test suites
- produces unit test reports
- prepares an executable JAR file in the /target directory
The package Maven goal is designed to prepare the application for distribution to server environments. The application and all dependencies are packaged into a single, executable JAR file.
To execute the package goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.
mvn clean package
The application distribution artifact is placed in the /target directory and is named using the artifactId and version from the pom.xml file. To run the JAR file use the following command:
java -jar example-1.0.0.jar
By default, the batch and hsqldb profiles are active. To run the application with a specific set of active profiles, supply the --spring.profiles.active command line argument. For example, to start the project using MySQL instad of HSQLDB and enable the batch process:
java -jar example-1.0.0.jar --spring.profiles.active=mysql,batch
