Building Web Apps with Spring 5 and Angular

Preparing the Spring Web Development Environment

In this chapter, we will go into the details of setting up the development environment for working with Spring web applications. The following are the key areas that we will look into:

  • Installing the Java SDK
  • Installing/configuring Maven
  • Installing the Eclipse IDE
  • Installing/configuring the Apache Tomcat server
  • Installing/configuring the MySQL database
  • Introducing Docker containers
  • Setting up the development environment using Docker Compose

Installing the Java SDK

First and foremost, we will install Java SDK. We will work with Java 8 throughout this book. Go ahead and access this page (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html). Download the appropriate JDK kit. For Windows/Linux, there are two different versions--one for x86 and another for x64. One should select the appropriate version, and download the appropriate installable file. Once downloaded, double-click on the executable file for Windows, or unTAR and install appropriately for Linux. The instructions for installing Java on Linux can be found on this page (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/linux_jdk.html).

The following instructions help one install Java on Windows OS. Double-clicking on the EXE file would start the installer. Once installed, the following needs to be done:

  1. Set ...

Installing/configuring Maven

Maven is a tool which can be used for building and managing Java-based projects. The following are some of the key benefits of using Maven as a build tool:

  • It provides a simple project setup that follows best practices--it gets a new project or module started in seconds.
  • It allows a project to build using its Project Object Model (POM) and a set of plugins that are shared by all projects, providing a uniform build system. POM is defined in an XML file, namely, pom.xml, which defines the project configuration and dependencies along with their versions. One can manage the dependencies version from pom.xml.
  • Based on the project templates (also called archtype), Maven supports scaffolding, based on which the standard folder structure is created along with the base controller files, unit tests, and so on.
  • It allows usage of the large and growing repository...

Installing the Eclipse IDE

In this section, we will set up the Eclipse IDE, a tool used by Java developers to create Java EE and web applications. Go to the Eclipse website at http://www.eclipse.org, and download the latest version of Eclipse and install it. As we shall be working with web applications, select the option Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers while downloading the IDE.

As you launch the IDE, it will ask you to select a folder for the workspace. Select the appropriate path, and start the IDE.

The following are some of the different types of projects that developers could work on using IDE:

  • A new Java EE web project.
  • A new JavaScript project. This option will be very useful when you work with a standalone JavaScript project, and plan to integrate with the server components using APIs.
  • Check out the existing Eclipse projects from Git, and work on them.
  • Import one...

Installing/configuring the Apache Tomcat server

One can skip this section when working with a Spring Boot project. This is because starting a Spring boot application, using public static void main as an entry point, launches an embedded web server and, thus, one would not require starting a server such as Tomcat.  

In this section, we will learn about some of the following:

  • How to install and configure the Apache Tomcat server
  • Common deployment approaches with the Tomcat server
  • How to add the Tomcat server in Eclipse

The Apache Tomcat software is an open-source implementation of the Java servlet, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), Java Expression Language, and Java WebSocket technologies. We will work with Apache Tomcat 8.x version in this book. We will look at both, the Windows and Unix version of Java. One can go to http://tomcat.apache.org/ and download the appropriate...

Installing/configuring the MySQL database

In this section, you will learn how to install the MySQL database. Go to the MySQL Downloads site (https://www.mysql.com/downloads/), and click on Community (GPL) Downloads under the MySQL community edition. On the next page, you will see a listing of several MySQL software packages. Download the following:

  • MySQL Community Server
  • MySQL Connector for Java development (Connector/J) 

Installing/configuring the MySQL server 

In this section, we will explain how to download, install, and configure the MySQL database and a related utility, MySQL Workbench. Note that MySQL Workbench is a unified visual tool which can be used by database architects, developers, and DBA for...

Installing the Java SDK


First and foremost, we will install Java SDK. We will work with Java 8 throughout this book. Go ahead and access this page (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html). Download the appropriate JDK kit.

The following instructions help one install Java on Windows OS. Double-clicking on the EXE file would start the installer. Once installed, the following needs to be done:

  1. Set JAVA_HOME as the path where JDK is installed. 
  2. Include the path in %JAVA_HOME%/bin in the environment variable. One can do...

Installing/configuring Maven


Maven is a tool which can be used for building and managing Java-based projects. The following are some of the key benefits of using Maven as a build tool:

  • It provides a simple project setup that follows best practices--it gets a new project or module started in seconds.

  • Based on the project templates (also called archtype), Maven supports scaffolding, based on which the standard folder structure is created along with the base controller files, unit tests, and so on.
  • It allows usage of the large and growing repository of libraries and metadata to use out of the box. The project dependencies are installed in the local repository...

Installing the Eclipse IDE


In this section, we will set up the Eclipse IDE, a tool used by Java developers to create Java EE and web applications. Go to the Eclipse website at http://www.eclipse.org, and download the latest version of Eclipse and install it. As we shall be working with web applications, select the option Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers while downloading the IDE.

As you launch the IDE, it will ask you to select a folder for the workspace. Select the appropriate path, and start the IDE.

  • A new JavaScript project. This option will be very useful when you work with a standalone JavaScript project, and plan to integrate with the server components using APIs.
  • Check out the existing Eclipse projects from Git, and work on them.
  • Import one or more existing Eclipse projects from the filesystem or archive.

This book would be very useful to anyone wanting to learn how to build web applications. The author has decades of experience building applications that would clearly show in how the material is presented. Can't wait for the next edition on this subject or for the author to explore and write about other development frameworks.

I had to modify the POM. (Change Spring 2.x to 1.x and add JUnit 5) to make the Spring app work. So cutting one star. I think the "tour of heroes" on Angular 2 is helpful before this book. Otherwise a good book on the full stack application development with the latest technologies.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
