A working Spring Boot + Spring HATEOAS application implementing a hypermedia API supporting HAL http://stateless.co/hal_specification.html
Look at the related blog post: Implementing HAL hypermedia REST API using Spring HATEOAS
Navigate to the directory into which you cloned the repo and execute this:
$ mvn spring-boot:run
Once started you can access the APIs on port 8080, e.g.
$ curl http://localhost:8080/books
The port number can be changed by editing the port property in src/main/resources/application.yml or setting the server.port property, e.g. server.port=80
By default, the application database starts empty.
To load sample data on start, launch the application with -Dloadsampledata=true
$ mvn spring-boot:run -Dloadsampledata=true
You may run the application using an external H2 running in server mode on the same machine
- Download and install (unzip) H2 http://www.h2database.com/html/download.html
- Start H2 in server mode (replace
<h2-dir>with H2 installation directory, and<data-dir>with your preferred data directory (enabling H2 web console is not required)
$ java -cp <h2-dir>/bin/h2*.jar org.h2.tools.Server -web -webPort 8081 -tcp -tcpAllowOthers -tcpPort 1521 -baseDir <data-dir>
- Start the application with
-Dexternaldb=true
$ mvn spring-boot:run -Dexternaldb=true -Dloadsampledata=true
mvn package creates an executable jar that may be launched directly
$ java -Dloadsampledata=true -jar target/spring-hateoas-sample-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
