Icon UK 2018 - Spring forward: an introduction to Spring boot and Thymeleaf for (XPages) developers
- 1. 2018 Spring forward: an introduction to Spring boot and Thymeleaf for (XPages) developers Frank van der Linden Full stack Developer elstar IT
- 2. Thanks to our 2018 Sponsors INFORMATION SOLUTIONS REDTABLE
- 3. Me • Freelance Full stack developer • Owner of elstar IT • Curious of new technology • IBM Champion 2013, 2014, 2017 and 2018 3
- 4. Disclaimer 4 Session is NOT about Domino and XPages
- 5. How to proceed • What is Spring boot and Thymeleaf • Similarities and differences • Runs everywhere • How to start • Syntax • Security • New possibilities 5
- 6. What is Spring boot and Thymeleaf
- 8. Spring boot • Open source, Pivotal is coordinating. • Spring boot creates Spring (Java) based applications • Embedded Tomcat makes it ‘just’ run everywhere • Auto configure as much as possible • Built in metrics and health checks • Easy to configure with YAML or property file • Very good documentation and code examples • Fast creation of REST api’s 8
- 9. Thymeleaf • Is a template engine • Based on Java and HTML5 • Very strict, or template will break • Full Spring framework support • Extensible with dialects • Full (and extensible) internationalisation support. • Reusable fragments, like of Custom Controls • Extensive documentation 9
- 11. 11 XPages Spring Boot/Thymeleaf Configure Faces-config @Autowired Endpoints Need work or SmartNSF very strong support Security Built-in Need Spring Security Add-ons Lots of 3rd party add-on Thanks to OpenNTF Lots of 3rd party add-on Deployment Runs on Domino Runs everwhere Build Pain of the Domino Designer Maven/Gradle build out-of-the box IDE DDE (Windows) for OSGi plugins almost every IDE Almost every IDE, like Netbeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ and more (Windows, Linux, MacOS)
- 12. Runs everywhere
- 13. Runs everywhere • With Embedded Tomcat as default the jar ‘just run’ • More choices of embedded web server, in the future also OpenLiberty • Will run on Docker • Will run on Cloud Foundry, like IBM Cloud or Pivotal on Azure • Tomcat can by excluding to run it on Websphere Application Server, Tomcat or WildFly (a.k.a JBoss) • Even on Domino as OSGi plugin, http://hasselba.ch/blog/?p=2589 13
- 14. How to start
- 15. How to start • Install Gradle or Maven • Move over to start.spring.io • Or use the Starter in IntelliJ • Fill all the fields and select the required projects (full version) • Generate project • Download zip, unzip and add to Git repository. • Open project in favourite IDE, run ‘mvn clean install’ • Start coding 15
- 17. Spring boot setup 17 minimal YAML file
- 18. Thymeleaf setup 18 add to pom.xml
- 19. How it works together 19
- 20. Syntax
- 21. Spring boot syntax 21 endpoint to return an object as JSON endpoint to return a thymeleaf template
- 22. Component scan • Component scan will scan all the packages for @Service, @Controller, @Repository and more @Component(s) • @Autowired will glue everything together 22
- 23. Thymeleaf syntax • Include the th namespace to the page • Every html element attribute has a th:…. Equivalent. • Variable Expressions: ${...} • Selection Variable Expressions: *{...} • Message Expressions: #{...} • Link URL Expressions: @{...} 23
- 29. Link URL Expressions 29 resource links links in on a page
- 31. Fragments (1) 31
- 32. Fragments (2) 32 fragment code use it multiple times
- 33. Attachments • Forget the UploadedFile provided by IBM, learn MultipartFile • MultipartFile has lots of similarities with UploadedFile, but easier to use. Less code to achieve the same 33
- 34. Security
- 35. Spring Security • Framework for Authentication and Authorisation • Prevention of clickjacking, CORS, cross site request forgery • Integrates with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf • Customisable to the bone • Support for Basic Authentication, SAML2, oAuth and more. 35
- 37. Spring security in Thymeleaf 37 add to pom.xml add namespace
- 39. Lombok • Forget Getters and Setters • Forget toString, hashCode and equals • One @Annotations rules the all (@Data or @Getter and @Setter) • Add logging by @annotations (@Log4j2 or @Slf4j) 39
- 40. Lombok 40 add to pom.xml add @Data using the build in logging
- 41. Swagger • Part of Open API Specification, since v3 • Documentation of API’s • Playground for testing • Add annotation to generate the documentation dynamically 41
- 42. Swagger 42 add to pom.xml add a configuration add annotation to endpoint
- 43. Jenkins • With Jenkins you can build automatically the application • …But also do quality control, do load tests and even deploy. • JenkinsFile should be in the root of the GIT Repository • Groovy is the language for JenkinsFile 43
- 44. Jenkins file 44
