Spring MVC sample

This is a Spring Boot template to be used as a basic project for teaching purposes but also as a starter kit for spring newcomers and students.

Description

The project is a simple web application:

• authenticate user (default user: admin/admin)
• list users
• add user (only admin user can create new user)

It is based on Spring boot 1.5.3.RELEASE and includes the following components:

• spring-boot-starter-data-jpa for spring-data-jpa support
• spring-boot-starter-web for spring MVC support
• spring-boot-starter-security for Spring security support
• spring-boot-starter-test for Spring test support

Additionally, it includes the following helpful components:

• spring-boot-starter-tomcat and tomcat-embed-jasper to embed a tomcat instance in the application and starts it from maven goals (no tomcat setup required !)
• spring-boot-devtools for hot swapping
• H2 in-memory database for fast development (no local database required !)

For the web part, views are render via Servlets/JSP/JSTL and a webjar containing jquery is available.

Try it !

You can launch the project via the following maven goal:

mvn spring-boot:run

After few seconds, the web application is available on http://localhost:8080/
