Developing a Spring Boot microservice
The easiest way to develop and demonstrate Spring Boot's capabilities is by using the Spring Boot CLI, a command-line tool.
The following are the steps to set up and run Spring Boot CLI:
- Install the Spring Boot command-line tool by downloading the
spring-boot-cli-2.0.0.BUILD-M1-bin.zipfile from the following location URL:https://repo.spring.io/milestone/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-cli/2.0.0.M1/
- Unzip the file into a directory of choice. Open a terminal window, and change the terminal prompt to the
binfolder.
Note
Ensure that the /bin folder is added to the system path so that Spring Boot can be run from any location. Otherwise, execute from the bin folder by using the command ./spring.
- Verify the installation with the following command. If successful, the Spring CLI version will be printed on the console as shown:
$spring â-version
Spring CLI v2.0.0.M1- As the next step, a quick REST service will be developed in groovy, which is supported...
