This project is a comprehensive Spring Boot template designed to serve as a robust foundation for any Spring Boot-based application. It incorporates industry-standard configurations and features, providing a scalable, secure, and high-performance starting point.
- JWT Authentication: Implemented Spring Security using JWT tokens for stateless authentication.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Configured roles and access controls for different API endpoints.
- CSRF Protection: Enabled for stateful web applications (e.g., forms). Disabled for stateless REST APIs secured with JWT tokens, where CSRF protection is not necessary.
- Swagger/OpenAPI: Configured Swagger for API documentation to provide a user-friendly interface for exploring and testing APIs.
- JPA/Hibernate: Set up JPA for ORM and database interaction to ensure smooth data persistence.
- Global Exception Handling: Centralized exception handling using
@ControllerAdvice
, allowing for consistent error responses across the application.
- Spring Boot Actuator: Integrated Actuator to monitor the application’s health and performance metrics.
- SLF4J with Log4j2: Configured for advanced logging capabilities, providing detailed logs for easier debugging and analysis.
- External Configuration: Managed externalized configurations using application.properties and application.yml for flexible environment-specific settings.
- Profiles: Configured environment-specific profiles (dev, test, and prod) to handle different runtime configurations.
- Spring Async: Implemented asynchronous task execution using
@Async
to improve performance and scalability where applicable. - Scheduling: Enabled scheduled task execution using
@Scheduled
for periodic jobs.
- Spring Cache: Integrated Spring Cache abstraction to enhance performance by caching frequently accessed data.
- Cache Providers: Configured with cache providers like Ehcache or Redis for optimized caching solutions.
- AWS S3 Integration: Integrated AWS S3 for storing and retrieving profile pictures, ensuring reliable and scalable file storage.
- Spring Email: Configured email sending using Spring Email to facilitate user notifications, such as account activation and password reset emails.
- Spring WebSocket: Implemented real-time communication using WebSockets. Though not utilized in the current project, the WebSocket configuration is ready for future extensions.
- Correlation ID Header: Added correlation IDs to all API headers to track requests across services and ensure better traceability.
- Java 11 or higher
- Maven
- AWS credentials for S3 integration
- SMTP server for email integration
-
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/advanced-spring-boot-template.git
cd advanced-spring-boot-template
-
- Configure the application properties: Update the application.properties or application.yml with your environment-specific settings, including database connections, S3 credentials, and email server configurations.
-
- Build and run the application:
mvn clean install
mvn spring-boot:run
The Swagger UI can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html
