Here's a step-by-step guide to building a basic Spring Boot application:

1. Project Setup:

● Use Spring Initializr: Visit https://start.spring.io/ and fill in the project details:
○ Group: com.example
○ Artifact: my-demo-app
○ Dependencies: Add "Spring Web"
○ Build tool: Choose Maven or Gradle
○ Java version: Select your preferred version
● Generate Project: Click "Generate" and download the project zip file.
● Extract the zip file: Unzip the downloaded project to your workspace.

2. Create Main Application Class:

● Navigate to src/main/java/com/example/mydemoapp: Open this package in

your IDE.
● Create a class named DemoApplication.java: Paste the following code:

Java
package com.example.mydemoapp;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication

public
class
DemoApplication
{

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

3. Create a Simple Controller:

● Create a class named HelloController.java in the same package: Paste the

following code:

Java
package com.example.mydemoapp;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController

public
class
HelloController
{

@GetMapping("/hello")

public String hello()

{
return
"Hello, Spring Boot!";
}
}

4. Run the Application:

● From IDE: Run the DemoApplication class as a Java application.

● Command line (Maven):
○ Navigate to the project root directory.
○ Run mvn spring-boot:run.
● Command line (Gradle):
○ Navigate to the project root directory.
○ Run gradle bootRun.

5. Test the Application:

● Open a web browser: Go to http://localhost:8080/hello (assuming the default

port).

● You should see the response: "Hello, Spring Boot!"

Congratulations! You've successfully built and run a basic Spring Boot

application!
