Part 3 - Introducing Project Lombok and thinking the dynamic form model

We are at the verge of writing few beans and I personally hate those getter/setters toString hashCode, equals to be written for each one of them.I am also not too confident or knowleagble about tools like Spring ROO. So what option I have to save myself from these boring boilerplate clode. I can save some by using Project Lombok. Project lombok is available at - http://projectlombok.org/. I will not show here how to integrate it with STS, its straight forward and well documented on the product website.Do not forget to include it as a maven dependency in the parent project to use it in child projects and save some time.

Dynamic form

Creating the dynamic form will be an excellent thing. We have lot of meta data to do that in the domain objects. We can even keep the form meta information in xml or database. The Spring Thymeleaf dialect already has excellent support for forms. For the moment we will put the dynamic form into parking lot and build forms using Thymeleaf. In future if this really becomes an absolute necessary we will revisit the topic.

Part 3 - Integrating Tiles, Thymeleaf and Spring MVC 3

In this post I will demonstrate how to integrate Apache Tiles with Thymeleaf. This is very simple. The first step is to include the tiles and thymeleaf-tiles extension dependencies. I will include them in the pom.xml. Note we wil lbe using Tiles 2.2.2 Listing 1 - parent/pom.xml --- thymeleaf-tiles and tiles dependencies    <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId> <artifactId>tiles-core</artifactId> <version>${tiles.version}</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId> <artifactId>tiles-template</artifactId> <version>${tiles.version}</version> <scope>compile</s

How to Stand up a Spring Cloud Config Server?

Setup and Configure Spring Cloud Config Server Project Spring Cloud Config Server is just another Spring Boot application. It provides several infrastructure micro services to centralize access to configuration information backed by a version controlled (well at least in the case of default GIT storage) repository. Step 1 - Create a Spring Boot project in STS with the dependencies shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 - Creating Spring Boot project to setup Spring Cloud Config Server Figure 2 - Spring Cloud Config Server dependencies Click on 'Finish' to complete the creation of the Spring Boot project in STS. The build.gradle file is shown in listing below. There is only one dependency to the Spring Cloud Config Server. Also Spring Cloud release train 'Dalston.SR1'. Step 2 - Annotate the class containing main method The next step is to annotate the ConfigServerInfraApplication class with @EnableConfigServer That's all is needed on the Java si
