INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS SPRING-BOOT?
Spring Boot is an open source Java-based framework used to create a micro
Service

It is a Spring module which provides RAD (Rapid Application Development)

feature to Spring framework

It is used to create Stand alone Spring based application that we can just run
because it needs very little spring configuration

 It does not generate code & there is no requirement for XML configuration

 Highly dependent on starter templates feature, which is very powerful & works
flawlessly

[Link]
ADVANTAGES OF SPRING BOOT
It is very easy to develop Spring Based applications with Java or
Groovy

It reduces lots of development time & increases productivity

It avoids writing lots of boilerplate Code, Annotations and XML

Configuration

It is very easy to integrate Spring Boot Application with its Spring
Ecosystem like Spring JDBC, Spring ORM, Spring Data, Spring
Security etc.

[Link]
ADVANTAGES OF SPRING BOOT....
It provides Embedded HTTP servers like Tomcat, Jetty etc.
to develop & test our web applications very easily

It provides lots of plugins to develop and test Spring Boot

applications very easily using Build Tools like Maven & Gradle

It provides lots of plugins to work with embedded and in-

memory Databases very easily

COMPARISON WITH SPRING
Maven Dependencies
Minimum dependencies required to create a web application
using Spring:-

Maven Dependencies:
Unlike Spring, Spring Boot requires only one dependency to get
a web application up and running:-

All other dependencies are added

How Spring Boot Bootstraps?
The entry point of a Spring Boot application is the class which is
annotated with @SpringBootApplication:

[Link]
WHAT IS STARTER TEMPLATE?
 Spring Boot starters are templates that contain a collection
of all relevant transitive dependencies, that are needed to start
a particular functionality

 In traditional setup, to create a Spring WebMVC app we have

to included all required dependencies, which leaves the chances of
version conflict which ultimately result in runtime exceptions

 With String boot, to create a MVC application all we need to do,

is to import is spring-boot-starter-web dependency

[Link]
WHAT IS STARTER TEMPLATE?....

[Link]
WHAT IS STARTER TEMPLATE?....
Spring Boot provides a number of starter dependencies for different
Spring modules. Some of the most commonly used ones are:

 spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
 spring-boot-starter-security
 spring-boot-starter-test
 spring-boot-starter-web
 spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf

Note that all Spring Boot starters follow the same naming pattern
spring-boot-starter- *, where * indicates that it is a type of the
application

 CHAPTER 2

FIRST
SPRING BOOT
APPLICATION
PREREQUISITE OF SPRING BOOT
To create a Spring Boot application following are the prerequisites:

 Java 1.8
 Gradle 2.3+ or Maven 3.0+
 Spring Framework [Link]-SNAPSHOT
 Any IDE like Eclipse or NetBeans

[Link]
SPRING BOOT PROJECT
There are multiple ways to create Spring Boot project. We can use
any of the following approach to create application:-

 Spring Maven Project

 Spring Starter Project Wizard

 Spring Initializer

 Spring Boot CLI

[Link]
SPRING BOOT MAVEN PROJECT
Creating Spring Boot project by creating maven project. It
includes the following steps.

Create simple Maven

Project

[Link]
SPRING BOOT MAVEN PROJECT....

[Link]
SPRING BOOT MAVEN PROJECT
 Cross-check newly created Maven
project
 As shown correct JRE System Library
(if not correct)
 Right click on project properties and go to Java Build Path
 Select Libraries Tab
 Click on Edit to correct jre selection
 Apply and Close

[Link]
SPRING BOOT MAVEN PROJECT
 Run maven build command to compile our newly created maven
project and test our application
 We can create any sample class to make sure everything is in
place

[Link]
CREATING SPRINGBOOT APPLICATION
 If we are simply creating Maven project, we need to configure it
in order to make it a Spring Boot project.

Step1 : First we need to add parent to our Maven project. It is

used to declare that our project is a child to this newly added
parent project

[Link]
CREATING SPRINGBOOT APPLICATION
Step2 : Add dependencies to [Link] file as per our need. Here,
we will include only starter dependency by adding spring-boot-
starter.

CREATING SPRINGBOOT APPLICATION
Step3 : Create our first Sprint Boot application class by adding
@SpringBootApplication annotation

[Link]
CREATING SPRINGBOOT APPLICATION
Step4 : Now run above class as "Spring Boot App". This will
simply start our application, perform some activity like batching
etc and then shutdown, as shown below in output console:-

[Link]
CREATING SPRINGBOOT APPLICATION
Step5 : Now we will make our application web based. For this we
just need to add web dependency by adding spring-boot-
starter-web in our [Link] as shown below:-

[Link]
CREATING SPRINGBOOT APPLICATION
Step6 : Now again run our class as a "Spring Boot App". This will
start Tomcat server (inbuilt) at default port 8080 as shown
below in output :-

[Link]
SPRING-BOOT-STARTER VS
SPRING-BOOT-STARTER-WEB
spring-boot-starter -> provides basic development & run time
infrastructure for our application along with core spring
features
spring-boot-starter-web -> is used to add web capabilities such
as spring-mvc to our project

Note:- If we use spring-boot-starter-web,

no need to add spring-boot-starter
dependency explicitly

[Link]
SPRING STARTER PROJECT WIZARD

[Link]
SPRING STARTER PROJECT WIZARD....
 New Spring Boot project will be created automatically

[Link]
SPRING INITIALIZR
 One of the ways to Bootstrapping a Spring Boot application is by
using Spring Initializr

 To start visit Spring Initializr web page [Link]

and fill details like Project, Spring Boot version, group, artifact
and required dependencies etc to run the application

 After filling click Generate -> Project will be downloaded to our

local system in .zip format

 Extract the project and import as Maven project in Eclipse

[Link]
SPRING INITIALIZR....

[Link]
SPRING INITIALIZR ....
 Save project and extract it
 Import as Maven project by using import option from the IDE

[Link]
SPRING INITIALIZR ....

 After finishing, our Spring

Boot Project should look
like this       

 CHAPTER 3

CONFIGURATION
APPLICATION PROPERTIES
 Spring Boot provides various properties which can be specified
inside our project's [Link] file

 These properties have default values and we can set that inside
the properties file

 The [Link] file is located in the

src/main/resources directory

 Properties are used to set values like: server-port number,

database connection configuration etc.

[Link]
APPLICATION PROPERTIES....
 For example we can change port of Tomcat server in property
file as shown below:

[Link]
SPRING BOOT LOGGING
 Spring Boot provide default logging feature and hence we see
the logs in the console.
 Additional logging can be configured using SL4J

[Link]
SPRING BOOT LOGGING ....
 Spring Boot print logs in console by default, but we can enable
logging for file also using simple property
 [Link] can be specified in [Link] to specify
location and name of log file

 We can control other parameters also like format, path etc

[Link]
Embedded server
Spring boot applications always include tomcat as embedded
server dependency. It means we can run the Spring boot
applications from the command prompt without needling complex
server infrastructure

We can exclude tomcat & include any other embedded server if
we want. Or we can make exclude server environment altogether

[Link]
Embedded server

[Link]
SPRING BOOT AUTOCONFIGURATION
 Auto-configuration is enabled with following annotation
@EnableAutoConfiguration

 Spring boot auto configuration scans the classpath, finds the

libraries in classpath & then attempt to guess the best
configuration for them & finally configure all such beans

 Example, if we have tomcat related jar in our classpath, it will

automatically configure TomcatServletWebServerFactory class

 Spring Boot automatically scans all the components included in

the project by using @ComponentScan annotation

[Link]
Spring Boot Application
 Entry point of Spring Boot Application is the class contains
@SpringBootApplication annotation. This class should have the
main method to run the Spring Boot application

If we added @SpringBootApplication annotation, no need to add

following annotations :-
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ComponentScan
@SpringBootConfiguration

 The @SpringBootApplication annotation includes all other

annotations
