Java Spring Web App Starter Project

Instructions

Build this project with

mvn clean package

Run integration tests with

mvn clean verify

You can run it with

mvn clean docker:start tomcat7:run

Then you can test the api with curl like this

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST localhost:8080/rest/users -d '{"name": "tom", "email": "[email protected]", "roles": [{"name": "dev"}]}'

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" localhost:8080/rest/users

or in the case of running this app on PWS:

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST https://java-starter.cfapps.io/rest/users -d '{"name": "tom1", "email": "[email protected]", "roles": [{"name": "dev"}]}'

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" https://java-starter.cfapps.io/rest/users

You can push it to CloudFoundry with the following commands

For bosh-lite

mvn clean cf:push -Pbosh-lite (this assumes you have a local bosh-lite install with an org 'Java' and a space 'dev')

For PWS

mvn clean cf:push -PPWS (you will need to modify the org and space in the pom.xml)

In order to get these two commands to work, you will need this in your ~/.m2/settings.xml

<settings>
  [...]
  <servers>
    [...]
    <server>
      <id>bosh-lite</id>
      <username>admin</username>
      <password>admin</password>
    </server>
    <server>
      <id>pws</id>
      <username>PWS_USERNAME</username>
      <password>PWS_PASSWORD</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

Notes

• Uses Jersey 2.12 for REST server
• Spring 4.1.4.RELEASE (web.xml got replaced by WebAppInitializer)
• This app uses an embedded HSQL database to store the users and Hibernate as an ORM
• It sends message to RabbitMQ
• Logging is provided by logback
• There are end-to-end integration tests that start an embedded tomcat server and use HttpClient to query the API
