Spring Boot Hello World Example in Eclipse

February 27, 2017 by javainterviewpoint 1 Comment

In the previous Spring Boot Hello World example we build our application with Maven through command prompt. In this article, we will be building the same Spring Boot Hello World example using IDE. I will be using Spring Tool Suite(STS) for development, you can also use Eclipse along with m2eclipse plugin.

Spring Boot Hello World Example

Folder Structure:

Spring Boot Hello World

  1. Create a simple Maven Project “SpringBootTutorial” by selecting maven-archetype-quickstart  and create a package for our source files “com.javainterviewpoint” under  src/main/java 
  2. Now add the following dependency in the POM.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0	http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
     <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    
     <groupId>com.javainterviewpoint</groupId>
     <artifactId>SpringBootTutorial</artifactId>
     <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    
     <parent>
       <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
       <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
       <version>1.5.1.RELEASE</version>
     </parent>
     
     <dependencies>
       <dependency>
         <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
         <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
       </dependency>
     </dependencies>
     
     <build>
       <plugins>
         <plugin>
           <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
           <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         </plugin>
       </plugins>
     </build>
     </project>
  3. Create the Java classes HelloWorld.java under com.javainterviewpoint folder.

The spring-boot-starter-parent is a special starter, it provides useful Maven defaults. Since we are developing a web application, we also need to add spring-boot-starter-web dependency.This will additional dependencies such Tomcat, Jackson, Spring boot etc which are required for our application.

HelloWorld.java

Place HelloWorld.java under com.javainterviewpoint folder

package com.javainterviewpoint;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class HelloWorld {

    @RequestMapping("/")
    String hello() {
        return "Hello World! JavaInterviewPoint";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SpringApplication.run(HelloWorld.class, args);
    }
}

We have added the below annotations in our HelloWorld class

  • @RestController – This annotation is a stereotype annotation, this annotation tells spring to render the result back to the caller.
  • @RequestMapping – This annotation will any HTTP request with the path “/” should be mapped to the hello() method
  • @EnableAutoConfiguration – This annotation tells the Spring Boot to configure the application based on the dependencies added. Since spring-boot-starter-web has added Tomcat and Spring MVC, auto-configuration will setup a web based application.

Our main() method is the triggering point of our java application, it in-turn calls Spring Boot’s SpringApplication class run() method which bootstraps our HelloWorld application and starts the tomcat server. We need to pass our HelloWorld.class as an argument to our run() method.

Execution :

We will be running our HelloWorld class in two different ways.

  1. Run As Spring Boot App(Only in STS)
  2. Run As Configuration

1. Run As Spring Boot App(STS)

Select the Project –>Run As –> Spring Boot App
