This application was generated using JHipster 8.1.0, you can find documentation and help at https://www.jhipster.tech/documentation-archive/v8.1.0.
This is a "microservice" application intended to be part of a microservice architecture, please refer to the Doing microservices with JHipster page of the documentation for more information. This application is configured for Service Discovery and Configuration with the JHipster-Registry. On launch, it will refuse to start if it is not able to connect to the JHipster-Registry at http://localhost:8761. For more information, read our documentation on Service Discovery and Configuration with the JHipster-Registry.
Node is required for generation and recommended for development. package.json
is always generated for a better development experience with prettier, commit hooks, scripts and so on.
In the project root, JHipster generates configuration files for tools like git, prettier, eslint, husky, and others that are well known and you can find references in the web.
/src/*
structure follows default Java structure.
.yo-rc.json
- Yeoman configuration file JHipster configuration is stored in this file atgenerator-jhipster
key. You may findgenerator-jhipster-*
for specific blueprints configuration..yo-resolve
(optional) - Yeoman conflict resolver Allows to use a specific action when conflicts are found skipping prompts for files that matches a pattern. Each line should match[pattern] [action]
with pattern been a Minimatch pattern and action been one of skip (default if ommited) or force. Lines starting with#
are considered comments and are ignored..jhipster/*.json

- Docker configurations for the application and services that the application depends on
To start your application in the dev profile, run:
./mvnw
For further instructions on how to develop with JHipster, have a look at Using JHipster in development.
To build the final jar and optimize the sampleJhipsterApi application for production, run:
./mvnw -Pprod clean verify
To ensure everything worked, run:
java -jar target/*.jar
Refer to Using JHipster in production for more details.
To package your application as a war in order to deploy it to an application server, run:
./mvnw -Pprod,war clean verify
JHipster Control Center can help you manage and control your application(s). You can start a local control center server (accessible on http://localhost:7419) with:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/jhipster-control-center.yml up
To launch your application's tests, run:
./mvnw verify
Performance tests are run by Gatling and written in Scala. They're located in src/test/java/gatling/simulations.
You can execute all Gatling tests with
./mvnw gatling:test
Sonar is used to analyse code quality. You can start a local Sonar server (accessible on http://localhost:9001) with:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/sonar.yml up -d
Note: we have turned off forced authentication redirect for UI in src/main/docker/sonar.yml for out of the box experience while trying out SonarQube, for real use cases turn it back on.
You can run a Sonar analysis with using the sonar-scanner or by using the maven plugin.
Then, run a Sonar analysis:
./mvnw -Pprod clean verify sonar:sonar -Dsonar.login=admin -Dsonar.password=admin
If you need to re-run the Sonar phase, please be sure to specify at least the initialize
phase since Sonar properties are loaded from the sonar-project.properties file.
./mvnw initialize sonar:sonar -Dsonar.login=admin -Dsonar.password=admin
Additionally, Instead of passing sonar.password
and sonar.login
as CLI arguments, these parameters can be configured from sonar-project.properties as shown below:
sonar.login=admin
sonar.password=admin
For more information, refer to the Code quality page.
You can use Docker to improve your JHipster development experience. A number of docker-compose configuration are available in the src/main/docker folder to launch required third party services.
For example, to start a postgresql database in a docker container, run:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/postgresql.yml up -d
To stop it and remove the container, run:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/postgresql.yml down
You can also fully dockerize your application and all the services that it depends on. To achieve this, first build a docker image of your app by running:
npm run java:docker
Or build a arm64 docker image when using an arm64 processor os like MacOS with M1 processor family running:
npm run java:docker:arm64
Then run:
docker compose -f src/main/docker/app.yml up -d
When running Docker Desktop on MacOS Big Sur or later, consider enabling experimental Use the new Virtualization framework
for better processing performance (disk access performance is worse).
For more information refer to Using Docker and Docker-Compose, this page also contains information on the docker-compose sub-generator (jhipster docker-compose
), which is able to generate docker configurations for one or several JHipster applications.
To configure CI for your project, run the ci-cd sub-generator (jhipster ci-cd
), this will let you generate configuration files for a number of Continuous Integration systems. Consult the Setting up Continuous Integration page for more information.
