Resources/URLs/Entities Overview
In this guide, we will create three services using proper URIs and HTTP methods:
Project Code Structure
Following screenshot shows the structure of the project we will create.
A few details:
- SpringBootTutorialBasicsApplication.java - The Spring Boot Application class generated with Spring Initializer. This class acts as the launching point for application.
pom.xml- Contains all the dependencies needed to build this project. We will use Spring Boot Starter AOP.
Tools you will need
- Maven 3.0+ is your build tool
- Your favorite IDE. We use IntelliJ, Eclipse.
- JDK 17+

Some theory
Bootstrapping with Spring Initializr
Creating a REST service with Spring Initializr is quick and efficient. In this example, we will use Spring Web MVC as our web framework.
The Spring Initializr provides an excellent way to bootstrap Spring Boot projects, enabling developers to generate a fully functional application setup in just a few steps.
As illustrated in the image above, the following steps need to be performed:
- Launch Spring Initializr and configure the project:
- Set Group as
TODO - Set Artifact as
TODO - Add the following dependencies:
- Spring Web
- Spring Boot DevTools
TODO
- Set Group as
- Click Generate Project to download the starter zip.
- Import the project into your IDE (Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA):

STEP 1 : TODO
Step N : Executing the TODO Service
The image below demonstrates how to execute this GET service using Postman, a popular tool for testing REST APIs.
Executing a POST Rest Service
An example request is shown below:
