The spring-kitchensink-asyncrequestmapping
quickstart is an example of a Java EE 7 application using JSP, JPA and Spring 4.x in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. It includes a persistence unit and some sample persistence and transaction code to introduce you to database access in enterprise Java:
-
This module showcases the use of asynchronous requests in
MemberRestController.java
, introduced in the Spring 3.2. More on Spring's Asynchronous Request Processing -
In
jboss-as-spring-mvc-context.xml
<context:component-scan base-package="org.jboss.as.quickstarts.kitchensink.spring.asyncrequestmapping.controller"/>
and<mvc:annotation-driven/>
are used to register both the non-rest and rest controllers. -
The controllers map the respective urls to methods using
@RequestMapping(url)
. -
To return JSON, the rest controller uses
@ResponseBody
. -
The datasource and entitymanager are retrieved via JNDI.
The application this project produces is designed to be run on Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.1 or later.
All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.2.5 or later. See Configure Maven for JBoss EAP 7.1 to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.
-
Open a command line and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.
-
The following shows the command line to start the server with the default profile:
For Linux: EAP7_HOME/bin/standalone.sh For Windows: EAP7_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
-
Make sure you have started the JBoss EAP server as described above.
-
Open a command line and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Type this command to build and deploy the archive:
mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
-
This will deploy
target/spring-kitchensink-asyncrequestmapping.war
to the running instance of the server.
The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/spring-kitchensink-asyncrequestmapping/.
-
Make sure you have started the JBoss EAP server as described above.
-
Open a command line and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
When you are finished testing, type this command to undeploy the archive:
mvn wildfly:undeploy
This quickstart provides Arquillian functional tests as well. They are located in the functional-tests/ subdirectory under the root directory of this quickstart. Functional tests verify that your application behaves correctly from the user's point of view. The tests open a browser instance, simulate clicking around the page as a normal user would do, and then close the browser instance.
To run these tests, you must build the main project as described above.
-
Open a command line and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Build the quickstart WAR using the following command:
mvn clean package
-
Navigate to the functional-tests/ directory in this quickstart.
-
If you have a running instance of the JBoss EAP server, as described above, run the remote tests by typing the following command:
mvn clean verify -Parq-remote
-
If you prefer to run the functional tests using managed instance of the JBoss EAP server, meaning the tests will start the server for you, type the following command:
mvn clean verify -Parq-managed
You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a JBoss EAP server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.
If you want to debug the source code or look at the Javadocs of any library in the project, run either of the following commands to pull them into your local repository. The IDE should then detect them.
mvn dependency:sources
mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
