If you check the article introduction to messaging with Spring JMS, you will notice that it is configured using XML.

Web integration tests allow integration testing of Spring Boot application without any mocking. By using @WebIntegrationTest and @SpringApplicationConfiguration we can create tests that loads the application and listen on normal ports. This small addition to Spring Boot makes much easier to create integration tests with Selenium WebDriver. Test Dependencies The application that we will be testing is a simple Spring ...

We are building a Spring Boot application with a REST interface and at some point we wanted to test our REST interface, and if possible, integrate this testing with our regular unit tests. One way of doing this, would be to @Autowire our REST controllers and call our endpoints using that. However, this won’t give full converage, since it will ...

In this article I’ll try to give you an easy introduction on how to use Elastic Search in a Java project. As Spring Boot is the easiest and fastest way to begin our project I choose to use it. Futhermore, we will heavily use Repository goodies of beloved Spring Data. Let’s begin by installing Elastic Search on our machine and ...

A really “Quick Start” with Spring Boot, WildFly and OpenShift as opposed to my last, more descriptive article. Prerequisite Before we can start building the application, we need to have an OpenShift free account and client tools installed. Step 1: Create WildFly application To create an application using client tools, type the following command: rhc create-app <app-name> jboss-wildfly-8 --scaling This ...

OpenShift DIY cartridge is a great way to test unsupported languages on OpenShift. But it is not scalable (you can vote for Scalable DIY cartridge here) which makes it hard to use with production grade Spring Boot applications. But what if we deployed Spring Boot application to WildFly Application Server? Spring Boot can run with embedded servlet container like Tomcat ...

Gradle 1.6 was the last supported Gradle version to run on OpenShift due to this bug. But as of Gradle 2.2 this is no more an issue, so running newest Gradle on OpenShift should not be a problem anymore with Do It Yourself cartridge. DIY cartridge is an experimental cartridge that provides a way to test unsupported languages on OpenShift. ...

When doing centralized logging, e.g. using Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana or Graylog2 you have several options available for your Java application. You can either write your standard application logs and parse those using Logstash, either consumed directly or shipped to another machine using something like logstash-forwarder. Alternatively you can write in a more appropriate format like JSON directly so the ...
