Hi,

Spring boot part two.

Problem taken

In this blog I am integrating Spring boot with Hibernate. In this I will demonstrate how easy it is to do following things:

Connect with Hibernate
Create Entity manager or datasource
No need of Controller/Service layer
Directly expose Repository as Rest path and access entity
How to check entity links feature
With only 3 to 4 files :)

Technology stack

Java8
Spring boot 1.3.x
Spring 4.2.3
Hibernate 4.x
Apache Maven 3.3.x
IDE - IntelliJ 14.x Community Edition

Solution

Just write few lines of code and you are done in generating Json. How? Let's see.

I just added pom.xml, one controller, one model, one repository and Application.java which will be starting point for Spring boot. Since explanation wise there is not much I am directly coming to the code.

File pom.xml

How to Run

mvn spring-boot:run

Use IDE by running Application.java

Make this application as webapp and deploy in Tomcat/Jetty or any web server.
