# REST demo: Spring backend
A simple demonstration of a RESTful web service in Java + Spring
This repository implements a REST web service for managing a simple database of bookmarks. Each bookmark consists of
a name (the link text) and the URL that it should link to. Using this API, you can perform all of the standard "CRUD"
operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) on these bookmarks.
This repository is part of my REST API demonstration project. For more information on this project, including a list
of all available frontends and backends, please visit the following repo:
* [rest-demo](https://github.com/bmarcotte/rest-demo/)
## Installation and Deployment
There are configuration files in this repository to support installing and deploying this code through three different
methods. Following the instructions for any one of these methods should setup a local running instance of this API
application.
### Method 1: Using Docker & docker-compose (preferred)
The easiest way to try out the code in this repository is via the docker-compose method described in the README for the
main rest-demo project:
* [README.md: Method 1: Using Docker & docker-compose (preferred)](https://github.com/bmarcotte/rest-demo/blob/master/README.md#method-1-using-docker--docker-compose-preferred)
To request this backend specifically, make sure your docker-compose command is prefixed with `BACKEND=spring`, like so:
```
> BACKEND=spring docker-compose up -d --build
```
For more details, please see the "Method 1" section in the README link above.
### Method 2: Using Docker without docker-compose
Requirements:
* [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) - version 1.7.10 or later recommended
* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-docker) - version 17.05 or later
This method will build a Docker image for this application, and then create and run a container instance based on it.
Run the following commands to use this method:
```
> docker build -t bookmarkapi:deploy https://github.com/bmarcotte/rest-demo-spring-backend.git
> docker run --name bookmarkapi -p 8080:8080 -d bookmarkapi:deploy
```
### Method 3: Using JDK, Maven
Requirements:
* [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) - version 1.7.10 or later recommended
* [Java JDK](http://openjdk.java.net/install/) - version 8u151 or later (either OpenJDK or Oracle JDK)
* The `JAVA_HOME` environment variable will need to be set to the root of where your Java JDK is installed, and not to the "jre/" subdir that's inside of it.
* [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/install.html) - version 3.0.0 or later
If Docker is not available, you can try manually building and installing the application via this method.
Run the following commands to use this method:
```
git clone https://github.com/bmarcotte/rest-demo-spring-backend.git
cd rest-demo-spring-backend
mvn clean spring-boot:run
```
## Testing
Requirements:
* [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/install.html) - version 3.0.0 or later
This repository includes a simple JUnit test suite that can be invoked with the following command:
```
mvn test
```
For details on how to do more extensive functional endpoint testing of this backend web service, please see the
following documentation in my [rest-demo](https://github.com/bmarcotte/rest-demo) project repository:
* [TESTING.md](https://github.com/bmarcotte/rest-demo/blob/master/TESTING.md)
## Note
The other backend applications in the REST Demo project all use SQLite for their database, but this backend
uses an embedded H2 database instead, as it was better supported by Hibernate.
