microservices-demo

Demo application to go with my Microservices Blog on the spring.io website. WARNING: Only maven build has been updated. Gradle build still to be done.

Demo System Schematic

Clone it and either load into your favorite IDE or use maven/gradle directly.

Note for gradle users: to make the intructions below build-tool independent, the gradle build copies its artifacts from build/libs to target.

Versions

Current version (Jan 2021) v2.1.1 corresponds to Spring Boot 2.4.2 and Spring Cloud 2020.0.0 release train.

Previous versions have been tagged and can be accessed using the Branch button above or using git checkout <version> - for example git checkout v1.2.0.

Tagged versions are:

  • v2.1.1 - Spring Boot 2.4.2, Spring Cloud release-train 2020.0.0 and overdue update to Bootstrap 4 (Jan 2021)
  • v2.1.0 - Spring Boot 2.4.2 and Spring Cloud release-train 2020.0.0 (Jan 2021)
  • v2.0.0 - Spring Boot 2.0 and Spring Cloud release-train Finchley (Feb 2020)
  • v1.2.0 corresponds to Spring Boot 1.5 and Spring Cloud release-train Edgeware (Apr 2018)
  • v1.1.0 corresponds to Spring Cloud release-train Brixton (Jan 2018)
  • v1.0.0 corresponds to Spring Cloud release-train Angel.SR6 (May 2016)

If running with Java 11 or later, you need to upgrade the build to include additional dependencies. Refer to paulc4#32 for details.

Using an IDE

You can run the system in your IDE by running the three server classes in order: RegistrationService, AccountsService and WebService. Each is a Spring Boot application using embedded Tomcat. If using Spring Tools use Run As ... Spring Boot App otherwise just run each as a Java application - each has a static main() entry point.

As discussed in the Blog, open the Eureka dashboard http://localhost:1111 in your browser to see that the ACCOUNTS-SERVICE and WEB-SERVICE applications have registered. Next open the Demo Home Page http://localhost:3333 in and click one of the demo links.

The localhost:3333 web-site is being handled by a Spring MVC Controller in the WebService application, but you should also see logging output from AccountsService showing requests for Account data.

Command Line

You may find it easier to view the different applications by running them from a command line since you can place the three windows side-by-side and watch their log output

For convenience we are building a 'fat' executble jar whose start-class (main method entry-point) is defined to be in the class io.pivotal.microservices.services.Main. This application expects a single command-line argument that tells it to run as any of our three servers.

java -jar target/microservices-demo-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar registration|accounts|web

Procedure

To run the microservices system from the command-line, open three CMD windows (Windows) or three Terminal windows (MacOS, Linux) and arrange so you can view them conveniently.

  1. In each window, change to the directory where you cloned the demo.
  2. In the first window, build the application using either ./mvnw clean package or ./gradlew clean assemble. Either way the generated file will be target/microservices-demo-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar (even if you used gradle).
  3. In the same window run: java -jar target/microservices-demo-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar registration
  4. Switch to the second window and run: java -jar target/microservices-demo-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar accounts
  5. In the third window run: java -jar target/microservices-demo-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar web
  6. In your favorite browser open the same two links: http://localhost:1111 and http://localhost:3333

You should see servers being registered in the log output of the first (registration) window. As you interact wiht the Web application, you should logging in the both the second and third windows.

For a list of valid accounts refer to the data.sql that is used by the Account Service to set them up.

  1. In a new window, run up a second account-server using HTTP port 2223:
    • java -jar target/microservices-demo-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar accounts 2223
  2. Allow it to register itself
  3. Kill the first account-server and see the web-server switch to using the new account-server - no loss of service.

Using Docker

This application can also be run using 3 docker containers. See here.
