2. How do you get Bootiful?
• Start - start.spring.io
• IO – It’s not you, use IO
• Boot - you know you want to!
• Data – It’s necessary for the REST of the show
Page 2

3. start.spring.io
• Use this website to create a base Spring-enabled Maven/Gradle
project
• Once you download the .zip, you’ll see you get:
• pom.xml/build.gradle
• Spring-dependencies utilizing IO Platform
• src/main/java, src/main/resources & src/test/java directory structure
• Spring-boot enabled, annotation based @Configuration class
• JUnit context-aware test case

4. IO Platform
• Cohesive, Versioned Platform of all Spring projects and
dependencies
• Aims to reduce version dependency nightmares within Spring
projects and transitive dependencies
• Just think of it as a BOM for all Spring projects and their
dependencies
• Example of versioning it wraps into a single versioned product:
– http://docs.spring.io/platform/docs/1.1.1.RELEASE/reference/html
single/#appendix-dependency-versions

5. Boot
• Easily create ‘runnable’ Spring applications
• Embed Tomcat or Jetty directly (no need to deploy WAR files)
• Provides ‘starter’ POMs to simply Maven/Gradle configuration
• Provides production-ready features for metrics, health checks,
and external configurations
• Absolutely no code generation or requirement for XML
• Actuator
– Provides JMX/REST endpoints for monitoring
– A list of them can be found at: http://docs.spring.io/spring-
boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#production-
ready-endpoints
Page 5

6. Data / Data REST
• Easy to use data access for many different technologies
(includes relational, non-relational, map reduce and cloud
data services)
• Query definition can be derived from method name
– Examples: http://docs.spring.io/spring-
data/jpa/docs/1.7.0.RELEASE/reference/html/#jpa.query-
methods
• Single annotation, @RestRepositoryRestResource, on your
Repository provides REST support for CRUD options (including
custom-defined methods)
• REST calls include validation support using JSR-303
• REST uses HAL to render responses
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kelly-json-hal-06)

8. What is MongoDB?
• NoSQL Database
• Document Store (JSON / BSON)
• Databases
• Collections
• Chunks
• Types
– Object
– Date
– String
– Boolean
– …
