1. Introduction

This is an in-depth article related to the JQuery AJAX Call to Spring Boot based Rest Service. Spring Boot framework has features to build applications. Spring Boot has features related to building rest services and unit testing the application.

2. Spring Boot Rest API – JQuery AJAX Call

2.1 Prerequisites

Java 8 or 9 is required on the Linux, windows, or Mac operating system. Maven 3.6.1 is required for building the spring and hibernate application.

2.2 Download

You can download Java 8 can be downloaded from the Oracle web site . Apache Maven 3.6.1 can be downloaded fromApache site. Spring framework’s latest releases are available from the spring website.

2.3 Setup

You can set the environment variables for JAVA_HOME and PATH. They can be set as shown below:

Setup For Java

JAVA_HOME=”/jboss/jdk1.8.0_73″
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH

The environment variables for maven are set as below:

Environment Setup for Maven

JAVA_HOME=”/jboss/jdk1.8.0_73″
export M2_HOME=/users/bhagvan.kommadi/Desktop/apache-maven-3.6.1
export M2=$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH=$M2:$PATH

2.4 Building the application

2.4.1 Spring

You can start building Spring applications using the Spring Boot framework. Spring Boot has a minimal configuration of Spring. Spring Boot has features related to security, tracing, application health management, and runtime support for web servers. Spring configuration is done through maven pom.xml. The XML configuration is shown below:

Spring Configuration

        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  
    <properties>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    </properties>
  
  
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>

            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
  
</project>

You can create a HelloWorldController class as the web controller. The class is annotated using @RestController. Rest Controller is used to handle requests in Spring Model View Controller framework. Annotation @RequestMapping is used to annotate the index() method. The code for the HelloWorldController class is shown below:

HelloWorld Controller

package helloworld;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
  
@RestController
public class HelloWorldController {
      
    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "Hello World\n";
    }
      
}

HelloWorldApp is created as the Spring Boot web application. When the application starts, beans, and settings are wired up dynamically. They are applied to the application context. The code for HelloWorldApp class is shown below:

HelloWorld App

package helloworld;
import java.util.Arrays;
  
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
  
@SpringBootApplication
public class HelloWorldApp {
      
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(HelloWorldApp.class, args);
          
        System.out.println("Inspecting the beans");
          
        String[] beans = ctx.getBeanDefinitionNames();
        Arrays.sort(beans);
        for (String name : beans) {
            System.out.println("Bean Name" +name);
        }
    }
  
}

Maven is used for building the application. The command below builds the application.

Maven Build Command

mvn package

The output of the executed command is shown below.

spring boot jquery ajax - Maven Build — Maven Build

The jar file spring-helloworld-0.1.0.jar is created. The following command is used for executing the jar file.

Run Command

java -jar target/spring-helloworld-0.1.0.jar

The output of the executed command is shown below.

spring boot jquery ajax - Spring Beans — Spring Beans

The curl command is invoked on the command line for the execution of the index method. The method returns a string “Hello World” text. @RestController aggregates the two annotations @Controller and @ResponseBody. This results in returning data. The output is shown below.

2.5 Rest Web Service -Calling with JQuery Ajax

Let us start building a Spring Boot based Rest Service first. You can create a SpringBootApplication as shown below:

SpringBootRestAjaxApplication

package org.javacodegeeks.jqueryrest;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootRestAjaxApplication {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(SpringBootRestAjaxApplication.class, args);
	}
}

You can create a Customer class which hascustomerId, name, and orders attributes. The code is presented below:

Customer Class

package org.javacodegeeks.jqueryrest.model;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.hateoas.ResourceSupport;

public class Customer extends ResourceSupport {

	private Long customerId;
	private String name;

	private List orders;

	public Customer() {
	}

	public Customer(Long customerId, String name) {
		this.customerId = customerId;
		this.name = name;
		orders = new ArrayList();
	}

	public Long getCustomerId() {
		return customerId;
	}

	public void setCustomerId(Long customerId) {
		this.customerId = customerId;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public List getOrders() {
		return orders;
	}

	public void setOrders(List orders) {
		this.orders = orders;
	}

}

You can create a CustomerRepository class as shown below. The customer API maps to the rest api path /customers.

Customer Repository

package org.javacodegeeks.jqueryrest.repo;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import org.javacodegeeks.jqueryrest.model.Customer;

@Repository
public class CustomerRepository {

	private final List customers = new ArrayList();

	public CustomerRepository() {
		this.customers.add(new Customer(1L, "Thomas Smith"));
		this.customers.add(new Customer(2L, "Jack Smith"));
		this.customers.add(new Customer(3L, "George Kay"));
        this.customers.add(new Customer(4L, "Joanne Smith"));
        this.customers.add(new Customer(5L, "Seanne Kane"));
	}

	public List findAll() {
		return this.customers;
	}

	public Customer findOne(Long id) {

		for (Customer customer : this.customers) {
			if (customer.getCustomerId().equals(id)) {
				return customer;
			}
		}
		return null;
	}
}

Maven pom.xml is created to build the application and for execution. The xml configuration is attached below:
