SkillPractical Spring DIY Projects
Spring Boot is an open-source Java-based framework. Spring Boot is a utility for setting up an application quickly by automating the configuration procedures and speed up the process of building and deploying Spring Boot applications. It is easy to create production-ready applications using Spring Boot through embedded server(tomcat).
Spring is widely used for creating scalable applications. For web applications Spring provides Spring MVC which is a widely used module of spring that is used to create scalable web applications. But the main disadvantage of spring projects is that configuration is really time-consuming and can be a bit overwhelming for the new developers. Making the application production-ready takes some time if you are new to the spring.
Here in this project, we will discuss how to create a basic RESTful web service which displays the list of student details and details of individual student depending upon the id provided through the REST call i.e.., depending upon the input provided through the REST call.
Prerequisites:
Basic understanding of how to create a Maven project in IntelliJ IDE.
Basic understanding of RESTful web services.
Basic understanding of HTTP Methods i.e., GET, PUT, POST, DELETE etc..
Advantages of RESTful Web services:
The separation between the client and the server: The REST protocol totally separates the user interface from the server and the data storage. This has some advantages when making developments. For example, it improves the portability of the interface to other types of platforms, it increases the scalability of the projects and allows the different components of the developments to be evolved independently.
Visibility, reliability, and scalability: The separation between client and server has one evident advantage, and that is that each development team can scale the product without too much problem. They can migrate to other servers or make all kinds of changes in the database, provided the data from each request is sent correctly. The separation makes it easier to have the front and the back on different servers, and this makes the apps more flexible to work with.
The REST API is always independent of the type of platform or languages: The REST API always adapts to the type of syntax or platforms being used, which gives considerable freedom when changing or testing new environments within the development. With a REST API, you can have PHP, Java, Python or Node.js servers. The only thing is that it is indispensable that the responses to the requests should always take place in the language used for the information exchange, normally XML or JSON.
The steps that we covered in this project are:
1. Create a maven project and ass dependencies 2. Create a minimal set of classes and launch the application 3. Add at least one controller with respective Services, Entity and DAO (Data Access Object)
