Simple SpringBoot Service

A project to play around with Spring Boot. This is a simple REST API with CRUD operations on a "User" resource and almost no real business logic.

To build the fat jar:

mvn clean package

To run the application locally direct from the jar:

java -jar target/simple-springboot-service-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Sample REST commands

Create a user

curl -i -d '{"id":"user1234", "name": "Han Solo", "age": 32}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT http://localhost:8080/user/user1234; echo;

Get a user

curl -i http://localhost:8080/user/user1234; echo;

Update a user

curl -i -d '{"id":"user1234", "name": "Luke Skywalker", "age": 29}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT http://localhost:8080/user/user1234; echo;

Get all the users

curl -i http://localhost:8080/user; echo;

Delete a user

curl -i -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/user/user1234; echo;

Build and run local Docker container

Pre Condition: you have docker installed on your machine.

From the project's root directory, package the fat jar and build the image

mvn clean package
docker build -t alexandergraham/simple-springboot-service .

And then from any directory:

docker run -p 8080:8080 alexandergraham/simple-springboot-service
