Project skeleton for Software Project class in the University of Iceland.

Your IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, Spring Tool Suit) should be able to clone a project from Github. It should be easy to find information regarding how to do that for your chosen IDE. It's also possible to download the project as a .zip here.

This project is setup using Maven as a dependency manager, so if your IDE does not manage that, or you don't have it installed you can look here for further information. When all the dependencies are downloaded, you can run the project by running the main() method in the class Application and then enter localhost:8080 into the address bar of your favorite web browser.

Look at the code and find the comments I wrote. I tried explaining what was happening in such a way that it should hopefully be easy to understand. I recommend starting by looking at the HomeController.

I used IntelliJ Ultimate with Maven to setup this project. Students and Teachers get the Ultimate edition for free, apply here.

This project runs an internal database while it is running. If the project is restarted, then all data will be reset, i.e. no data will persist between restarts. If you look at the application.properties file, you can see how you can direct the project to use your own persistent database. The example shown is aimed at Postgres.

This application is a small demonstration of using Spring Boot to handle the full stack for the webapp. It handles the frontend using Jasper for jsp pages, which allows for dynamic pages. It handles the backend with MVC pattern and easy to use annotations, and interfaces to a repository of our choice, in this instance, an in memory database. When the application is running, you can go to http://localhost:8080/postit for a demonstration for this tech stack.

It's a simple postit application where an user writes a name and a note and posts it to a list. All users posts will be visible with name and note.

It's also possible to see notes from certain users by going to the url http://localhost:8080/postit/username where username is the name of the user you want to see the postit notes from.

In case of any questions, please refer to the "Spring Boot Intro" slides in the HBV501G Verkefni folder on Ugla, or contact your tutor.

This skeleton project was created by Daníel Páll Jóhannsson while tutoring the HBV501G course in Fall 2015 and 2018.
