Spring BOOT: Spring Boot is an open-source Java-based framework used to create a Micro Service.It explores major features of Spring Boot such as
- Starters,
- Auto-configuration,
- Beans,
- Actuator and more
Spring Boot provides a good platform for Java developers to develop a stand-alone and production-grade spring application that you can just run.
Advantages
Spring Boot offers the following advantages to its developers −
- Easy to understand and develop spring applications
- Increases productivity
- Reduces the development time
Goals
Spring Boot is designed with the following goals −
- To avoid complex XML configuration in Spring
- To develop a production ready Spring applications in an easier way
- To reduce the development time and run the application independently
- Offer an easier way of getting started with the application
Starters
spring-boot-starter-actuator : monitor and manage your application.spring-boot-starter-data-jpa : Spring and JPA for database accessspring-boot-starter-security : monitor and manage your application.spring-boot-starter-web : is used to write a Rest Endpointsspring-boot-starter-actuator : monitor and manage your application.spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf : to create web applicationspring-boot-starter-test : monitor and manage your application.spring-boot-starter-web : Spring and JPA for database accessspring-boot-starter-parentAnnotations
@SpringBootApplication : @EnableAutoConfiguration + @ComponentScan
@EnableAutoconfiguration : Automatically configures application based on the dependencies
@ComponentScan :scans all the beans and package declarations when the application initializes
Spring Initializer
CommandLineRunner and ApplicationRunner, to run specific pieces of code when an application is fully started. These interfaces get called just before run() once SpringApplication completes.When you want to execute some piece of code exactly before the application startup completes, you can use it then. In one of our projects, we used these to source data from other microservices via service discovery, which was registered in Consul.
Ordering
You can register as many application/command line runners as you want. You just need to register them as Beans in the application context. Then, Spring will automatically pick them up. You can order them as well either by extending interface org.springframework.core.Ordered or via the @Order annotation.
Both of them provides the same functionality and the only difference between
CommandLineRunner and ApplicationRunner is CommandLineRunner.run() accepts String array[] whereas ApplicationRunner.run() accepts ApplicationArguments as argument. you can find more information with example here_____________________________________________________________________________________

@RestController : It serves JSON, XML and custom response.
@RequestMapping : Annotation is used to define the Request URI to access the REST Endpoints.
@RequestBody annotation is used to define the request body content type.
ResponseEntity<Object>
@PathVariable annotation is used to define the custom or dynamic request URI.
ResponseEntity<Object> updateProduct(@PathVariable("id") String id) @RequestParam annotation is used to read the request parameters from the Request URL.
GET API
return new ResponseEntity<>(productRepo.values(), HttpStatus.OK);
@RequestParam(value = "name", required = false, defaultValue = "honey") String name)
POST API
new ResponseEntity<>(productRepo.values(), HttpStatus.OK);
PUT API
return new ResponseEntity<>("Product is updated successsfully", HttpStatus.OK);
DELETE API
return new ResponseEntity<>("Product is deleted successsfully", HttpStatus.OK);
@ControllerAdvice
The @ControllerAdvice is an annotation, to handle the exceptions globally
@ExceptionHandler
package com.tutorialspoint.demo.exception; import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus; import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler; @ControllerAdvice public class ProductExceptionController { @ExceptionHandler(value = ProductNotfoundException.class) public ResponseEntity<Object> exception(ProductNotfoundException exception) { return new ResponseEntity<>("Product not found", HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND); } }
ResponseEntity.ok("Hello World!");new ResponseEntity<>( "Custom header set", headers, HttpStatus.OK)
return ResponseEntity.ok() .header("Custom-Header", "foo") .body("Custom header set");

RestTemplate
For monitoring and managing your microservice application via Spring Boot Admin Server, you should add the Spring Boot Admin starter client dependency and point out the Admin Server URI into the application properties file.
Note − For monitoring an application, you should enable the Spring Boot Actuator Endpoints for your Microservice application.
First, add the following Spring Boot Admin starter client dependency and Spring Boot starter actuator dependency in your build configuration file.
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a security concept that allows restricting the resources implemented in web browsers. It prevents the JavaScript code producing or consuming the requests against different origin.
