showcase

This projects provides a demo of the changes required to add various interesting java features. master branch currently contains a small 'vanilla' springboot application, which runs on Java17, builds using gradle, and contains a simple 'hello world' type controller.

There are a number of open pull requests, demonstrating how to add different features. The pull requests for these features are being kept separate (unmerged) to show the necessary changes to add the given feature without the need to unpick them from the existing codebase.

The current PR requests cover the following demos:

• Http endpoint to download/stream a Zipfile containing PDFs (which themselves are also streamed)
• Scheduling of tasjs to be completed asynchronously using the Quartz framework
• Use of the spock groovy framework for data driven testing

Building

./gradlew clean build

Running

Either:

within IDE run the ShowcaseApplication spring boot app

Or

./gradle bootRun

Assuming you've not modified the port you should then be able to get a response from the running server:

curl "http://localhost:8080/greeting?salutation=good%20morning&name=robin"

Docker

The application can be built into a Docker image and run on a docker environment:

docker build -t robjwilkins/showcase .

docker run -p 8080:8080 robjwilkins/showcase

Contributing

Clone / fork the repo, create a branch, add your feature, and create a PR. Commit messages should be in the format of a single line summarising the change, followed by a more in-depth message explaining what the feature is and why it is added
