Spring Boot | Sample REST Application

-

In this post we are going to write a Simple REST Application in Spring Boot. Spring Boot has inbuilt tomcat which makes an application start without the need to have any application/web server. Though we can always deploy applications in web servers too.

For this tutorial we will be using Maven for dependency management.

Step 1. Add all required Spring dependencies in your pom file

We can use below sample pom file to start with or go to https://start.spring.io/ to kick start your spring boot application.

Step 2. Spring starter class

Spring Boot uses @SpringBootApplication to auto configure some of spring configuration. You can find more info on SpringBoot details

Step 3. Application Controller

We will be using MVC pattern to separate our restful layer from the service layer.  

In our REST service we use @RestController annotation. It is combination of @Controller and @ResponseBody annotations.

We created CustomerController to return customer details.

Step 4. Application Service 

In any application, the service takes a request from the endpoint and processes it and gives back a response.
In our application we will be returning mocked data for each request. In the real scenario this generally calls any other service (third-party etc), db using a repository to fetch data.

Step 5. Disable Spring security

As this is a demo application, we will be disabling the spring authentication. To do that, we will be adding security.basic.enabled=false to the application.properties file.

Step 6. Test Application

Once all changes added we can run command mvn clean install to build our application and create jar file. 

Run this command to start application java -jar target\SpringBootHelloWorld-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar


Project is available on  Git - SpringBootHelloWorld

Spring | Using TIBCO EMS with Spring framework

-
TIBCO EMS can be use with Spring Framework to support message publishing and subscription. Spring provides JMS template to send JMS messages and @JmsListener/ MessageListener to subscribe it. Steps 1 : Create new project in eclipse or IntelliJ Idea Create new project with Spring dependency. We can use maven to add all required libs for this project. Maven takes care of adding referred java libs to build path. TIBCO JMS jars need to be added to build path. Pom.xml will be as follows. As you can see in above pom file we have added TIBCO JMS and Spring JMS dependency. Step 2 : Create JMS bean configuration file(Jms-conf.xml) Next we will create bean configuration file. It will set JNDI and JMS properties. We can use same JMS listener class to subscribe multiple queues and topics. Spring bean configuration take care of JMS transport setup. Env variables values can be provided via properties file. Step 3 : Create JMS Queue/Topic sender and Listner ...

TIBCO | For Loop - Accumulate output

In this post we will check how TIBCO for loop works. TIBCO provides Group Activity to iterate over processes or activities. Loops can be different types eg. For Loop, While util loop, if loop, repeat on error etc. TIBCO group can loop over sub-process and accumulate output in end activity to be used by next activities. TIBCO For loop with Accumulate output repeats over process/activity and return output of each iteration in output activity. This is helpful where we want to call sub-process repeatably with different input parameters and store each output in some variable.

TIBCO | JNDI Server & JMS Instance creation

-
Image
In this post we will be creating TIBCO JNDI server and other instance pointed to JNDI server. First lets see what is mean by JNDI. It is   Java API for a directory service that allows Java software clients to discover and look up data and objects via a name. TIBCO EMS uses JNDI concept to lookup for EMS objects and its relations in messaging service. While developing enterprise level TIBCO solution it is advise or say standard practice to create one JNDI server(also one backup JNDI server) and other instance servers according to the functionality or domains. In this tutorial we will be creating one JNDI server and two domain servers.
