Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World: in This Lab, You Will Configure and Run A Simple Spring Boot Job

In this lab, students will import and run a simple Spring Boot application. The application provides sample code and configuration files for a "Hello World" Spring Boot app. Students will use Maven and Eclipse to import the project, check for errors accessing Maven repositories, and run the application to log output and see how Spring Boot works under the hood. The project can also be packaged into an executable JAR file using Maven.

LAB 3.

1: HELLO BOOT WORLD


In this lab, you will configure and run a simple
Spring Boot job

Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World


LAB
SYNOPSI Lab


S
Overview: In this lab, we will become familiar with Spring
Boot and run a simple application that uses it
– We'll provide all of the code and configuration
– You will just run it, and examine how Spring Boot works
– You will use maven and Eclipse to work with it
– You'll also become familiar with the maven-based project
structure

 Builds on previous labs: None

 Approximate Time: 20-30 minutes

Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 2


IMPORT MAVEN Lab

 PROJECT
Eclipse INTO
understands maven ECLIPSE
projects fairly well
– The starter files (e.g. pom.xml, and Java source) are supplied by us
– When importing, Eclipse examines pom.xml, and sets up the classpath
– It understands maven's project structure, and sets up the Eclipse project
– It will compile the source as normal when importing (or changing source)
• No need to use maven for a compile or program execution- Eclipse does it

Tasks to Perform
 Import the Lab03.1 project into Eclipse as follows:

– File | Import … | Maven | Existing Maven Projects


– Click Next, Browse to the workspace\Lab03.1 folder, click Finish
 You may have errors in the project
– You may (or may not) be able to reach the maven repositories
– It depends on your environment setup (e.g. firewalls)
– We'll check that, and resolve any problems - see next slide
Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 3
CHECK MAVEN Lab
REPOSITORY ACCESS
Tasks to Perform
 Check the console window for error messages
– If you see an error like that below - starting with "Project build error:
Non-resolvable parent POM …", you can't reach the maven repository
• Likely due to firewall/security restrictions

 If you see this error, follow the instructions on the next slide
– See notes on this page if you can't get maven to work any way at all (1)
 If you do NOT see such an error, then skip the next slide
– It indicates you can reach the maven repositories

Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 4


SETUP MAVEN Lab
REPOSITORY
Tasks ACCESS
to Perform
 Only perform these steps if you can't access the maven repository
 To resolve the error, you will replace your maven repository
– With one that we supply, that is pre-populated with all needed libraries

 Go to your home folder (1), and find a folder named .m2 ("dot"m2)
– If it exists, rename that folder to .m2-ORIG (2)
– If it doesn't exist, that's no problem, just continue below (but read the note)
 Copy the .m2 folder in StudentWork\Spring\mavenRepository
– Paste it to your home folder
– That's it - you've got a local maven repo with all the jars you need
 Update the Lab03.1 project - Right Click | maven | Update Project
– The error should now go away - your maven repo is set up
 Remember to restore your original .m2 folder after the course
– Rename the .m2 lab repo to .m2-Spring, and rename .m2-ORIG to .m2
Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 5
REVIEW THE Lab
PROJECT POM
Tasks to Perform
 Within Eclipse, open pom.xml for review
– First view the straight source (pom.xml tab)
– The Dependency Hierarchy tab shows direct/indirect dependencies

Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 6


RUN THE Lab
APPLICATION
Tasks to Perform
 Right click on HelloBootWorld.java (in Eclipse Package Explorer)
– Select Run As | Java Application
– It should run cleanly, and produce output like that below
– Note output from main(), and from run() (CommandLineRunner)
– Open HelloBootWorld for review to see how these are produced

Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 7


REVIEW
DEBUGGING Lab


OUTPUT Tasks to Perform
Spring Boot has copious debugging built in
– Open src/main/resources/application.properties, set boot logging to debug
logging.level.org.springframework.boot=debug
– Rerun - this prints out a lot of info - e.g. the auto-configuration (see below)

Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 8


CREATE
EXECUTABLE Lab


JAR Tasks to Perform
We will package the project with maven from within Eclipse (1)

– Right click on the project, select Run As | Maven build …


• Name the Run configuration Lab03.1-package
• Enter a goal of package
• Select Apply, then Run - This runs the mvn package command
• See notes for possible errors
– Creates a jar (the default maven packaging) in the target folder
– We've included the spring boot maven plugin in the POM
• Review it in pom.xml - it has an artifactId of spring-boot-maven-plugin
• It repackages the jar as an executable jar with all needed dependencies
• The original (.jar.original extension) and repackaged jar (.jar) are both
produced
– Go to the Navigator view (2), right click on Lab03.1, select
Refresh
– You should see the jars that were created (in the target folder)

Lab 3.1: Hello Boot World 9


NOTE ON MAVEN Lab

 REPOSITORIES
We've occasionally seen odd errors in maven projects with
Eclipse
– Either compile or runtime
– Hard to track, and hard to figure out where they come from

 Sometimes simply updating the project solves this


– Right Click | maven | Update project…
 Sometimes there is something odd in your repository
– So you may need to rename the existing repo to something
else
• e.g. .m2 to .m2.ORIG
– Then update the project
– This only works if you have access to the maven repo
STOP
 Keep this in mind if you get odd errors occurring
