First Microservice - Lead Service

This is a continuation of my previous post where I listed the key domain components of CRM. For sake of simplicity, I will focus on just two key components - Lead and Opportunity respectively. These two modules will help me explore end to microservice implementation. I will be primarily using Spring framework's support to deliver the microservices. I am deliberating on a nice interesting Javascript framework for the front end. More on this later.

Goal

For the time being, I am just going to focus on building the backend and cloud enable it. Then slowly I am going to add the front end and security to the backend and front end. I will also explore the complete Sping Cloud gamut of projects and beyond. I will then deliberate on cloud-native applications, transactions and actually making this application suitable to run on virtually any cloud. I will also explore cloud and microservices application design patterns. Last but not the least we also need to check where this application fits in the maturity model for the 12-factor application.



Step 1 - Create a Spring Boot quickstart project using STS.

I am using the 64-bit version of STS 3.8.4 on my laptop.
The first step is to click in the following sequence:

File -> New -> Spring Starter Project. In the dialog fill out the data as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 - Configure Spring Starter Project
Then click on 'Next' to fill out the final dialog as shown in Figure 2. Once the final dialog is filled out with the selections click on 'Finish'.

Figure 2 - Select the dependencies

Step 2 - Add the Lead domain class.

Let's go ahead and add the lead domain class. I am assuming some familiarity with Eclipse/STS and will not show how to create a new package or a Java class.

 Listing 1 - Lead.java


The common properties are in the BaseEntity class which is shown in Listing 2.
Listing 2 - BaseEntity.java 

The Address class is embedded in the Lead class. This is shown in Listing 3.
Listing 3 - Address.java
I will end the day today by adding the Lead JPA repository.

Listing 4 - LeadRepository.java
The source code is hosted on Github.

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 <!-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --> <!-- Tiles --> <!-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --> <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...

Getting started with Prime faces 2

Prime faces is an amazing JSF framework from Cagatay Civici ( http://cagataycivici.wordpress.com/ ). Its wonderful because it is easy to use, minimal dependencies, has probably the widest set of controls among all JSF frameworks, easy to integrate with Spring (including Spring Security) , Java EE EJBs, and last but not the least mobile UI support. So I decided to give Prime faces a try, before selecting it to use in my projects. Step 1 – Create Maven 2 project As a first step to integrating Prime faces, create a Maven 2 project in Eclipse. You will need to select ‘maven-archetype-webapp’. Step 2 – Add repositories and dependencies in pom.xml I will be using Prime faces 2 with JSF 2 on Tomcat 6. Since the dependencies for Prime Faces and JSF 2 (JSF 2.0.3 is required) are available on different repositories, I will add them to my pom file first. The listing below shows my pom.xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/X...
