Lead Microservice - Add the service and controller

This post continues from the last one. I will try to complete the lead microservice in this post. I will be focusing primarily on the CRUD operation. In CRM applications, that is the primary set of operations.
I will start by creating the exception class. Later I would show how to use this exception class and Spring Rest exception handling and build a robust error handling around the API calls.
Listing 1 - BusinessException.java

Next step would be to introduce the service class. Since this is CRUD most of the functionality can be encapsulated in an abstract parent service class. Any specific feature like convert lead to opportunity can be implemented in the LeadService class.

Listing 2 - AbstractBaseBusinessDelegate.java
And then finally the LeadService implementation class is shown in Listing 3.

Listing 3 - LeadBusinessDelegate.java
Note that this code will not compile. In order to get this to compile, you will need to add 2 new dependencies for the Jodd libraries. Jodd is a popular micro framework which provides very useful utilities and lightweight framework to develop Java applications.

Listing 4 - build.gradle snippet


Now I am going to add the Spring Rest controller. This class is responsible for handling all microservices call. It then delegates to the business delegate to complete the business operation. As you must have already noted, the business delegate then calls repository to retrieve any data from the backing data store. In this series, I am using JPA store or my code is interacting with a relational database. Later I intend to add NoSQL store also and show if and how they can reside together.
Just like the business delegate most of the functionality is encapsulated in the base controller class as shown in Listing 5.

Listing 5 - AbstractBaseController.java
And finally here is the LeadController implementation class in Listing 6.

Listing 6 - LeadController.java


Thats all for now. The source code is available on Github repository

Breaking down the CRM monolith

In my previous posts, I have shared some theory regarding microservices. But it's time to start some implementation. I love to write code and see and feel things working. So I will start a series to refactor a monolithic CRM system and transform it into microservices based flexible software. Big ball of mud. Customer Relationship Management(CRM) is that giant software which existed since time immemorial and is used by all companies in some form or shape. Big enterprises will buy CRM software (also known as packages) from top CRM vendors like Oracle, SAP, Salesforce etc and then employ an army of consultants to try and implement it. Most of the classic CRM systems in the market today, even if deployed on the cloud are the big monolithic ball of mud. They are the gigantic piece of software with the huge feature set. Most often those requirements are surplus to the requirement or they will not fit into the processes of the company. So the company has to hire these certified consu

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

CKEDITOR 3.x - Simplest Ajax Submit Plugin

  I have assumed that you have downloaded and got started with CKEDITOR. Step 1 – The html file is shown below: <html> <head> <title>Writer</title> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script> <style> .cke_contents { height: 400px !important; } </style> </head> <body> <form action="sample_posteddata.php" method="post"> <textarea id="editor" > </textarea> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor', { fullPage : true, uiColor : '#9AB8F3', toolbar : 'MyToolbar' }); //]]> </script> </form> </body> </html> Note that the jquery js
