Installation

Fork the Repository

Fork the Spring Security Fundamentals repository on GitHub. Clone the project to your host machine.

Dependencies

The project requires the following dependencies be installed on the host machine:

Java Development Kit 8 or later
Apache Maven 3 or later

Running

The project uses Maven for build, package, and test workflow automation. The following Maven goals are the most commonly used.

spring-boot:run

The spring-boot:run Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:

compiles Java classes to the /target directory
copies all resources to the /target directory
starts an embedded Apache Tomcat server

To execute the spring-boot:run Maven goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

mvn spring-boot:run

Type ctrl-C to halt the web server.

This goal is used for local machine development and functional testing. Use the package goal for server deployment.

test

The test Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:

compiles Java classes to the /target directory
copies all resources to the /target directory
executes the unit test suites
produces unit test reports

The test Maven goal is designed to allow engineers the means to run the unit test suites against the main source code. This goal may also be used on continuous integration servers such as Jenkins, etc.

To execute the test Maven goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

mvn clean test

package

The package Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:

compiles Java classes to the /target directory
copies all resources to the /target directory
executes the unit test suites
produces unit test reports
prepares an executable JAR file in the /target directory

The package Maven goal is designed to prepare the application for distribution to server environments. The application and all dependencies are packaged into a single, executable JAR file.

To execute the package goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

mvn clean package

The application distribution artifact is placed in the /target directory and is named using the artifactId and version from the pom.xml file. To run the JAR file use the following command:

java -jar example-1.0.0.jar

By default, the batch and hsqldb profiles are active. To run the application with a specific set of active profiles, supply the --spring.profiles.active command line argument. For example, to start the project using MySQL instad of HSQLDB and enable the batch process:

java -jar example-1.0.0.jar --spring.profiles.active=mysql,batch
