BankOfSpring

Production ready maven based Spring Boot starter kit application with example cases of handling transactions with Spring.

Description

Starter kit for booting up the development of a API oriented and transaction based spring Java server. It contains the best practices and latest tools that a spring boot developer should opt for in a fresh development. Since JPA is used, developers are free to opt for any SQL based DB engine for persistence (H2 has been used as an example with this project). The preferred IDE for development is IntelliJ which comes with a plethora of useful JAVA tools to support Spring Boot development, but developers are free to opt for Eclipse or STS as well. The focus in this project is solely upon the SpringBoot development with business cases involving transactions and writting proper unit and integration tests for them.

Application Structure

Running the server locally

The BankOfSpring application can be started using your favourite IDE and its run configuration support. If you are a terminal savvy, please use the following command -

mvn spring-boot:run

Docker

BankOfSpring supports docker container out of the box. This boilerplate is meant to cater to both web based applications as well as scalable micro services written in Java. Please select one of the following two ways to use docker to build and run the application -

Dockerfile

To build a fresh image, use -

docker build -t bankofspring .

To run the new image, use -

docker run -p 8080:8080 bankofspring

Docker-Compose

To run the new image, use -

docker-compose up

Swagger Documentation

Swagger documentation is in-built in this starter-kit and can be accessed at the following URL -

http://<host-name>:8080/swagger-ui.html

Unit test cases

There are multiple unit test cases written to cover the different components of the application. However there is a global application test suite file BankOfSpringApplicationUnitTests.java that combines all the test cases in a logical manner to create a complete suite. It can be run from command prompt using the following command -

mvn clean test -Dtest=BankOfSpringApplicationUnitTests

Integration test cases

There are multiple integration test cases written to cover the different components of the application. However there is a global application test suite file BankOfSpringApplicationTests.java that combines all the test cases in a logical manner to create a complete suite. It can be run from command prompt using the following command -

mvn clean test -Dtest=BankOfSpringApplicationTests
