Mature Microservice Client Using J-Framework

This example demonstrates the usage of the j-framework in creating a mature microservice client.

Prerequisites:

  1. You should have JDK 17+ Installed. (Click Here).

  2. You should have a mature microservice running. (Click Here)

  3. You should create a Maven Project.

  4. You should enable snapshot versions. (Click Here).

Project Content:

This section contains what you should add to your code structure for this example.

  1. Maven Project with pom.xml that has the following contents:

<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 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<parent>
		<groupId>com.jalalkiswani</groupId>
		<artifactId>j-app-webstack</artifactId>
		<version>7.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
	</parent>
	<artifactId>j-framework-microservice-mature-client-example</artifactId>
	<packaging>war</packaging>
</project>
  1. Java Model class is located at src/main/java/com/app/person/Model.java that has the following content:

package com.app.person;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class Model implements Serializable {

	private Integer id;

	private String nationalId;

	private String name;

	private String email;

	private String address;

	public void setId(Integer id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public Integer getId() {
		return this.id;
	}

	public void setNationalId(String nationalId) {
		this.nationalId = nationalId;
	}

	public String getNationalId() {
		return this.nationalId;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return this.name;
	}

	public void setEmail(String email) {
		this.email = email;
	}

	public String getEmail() {
		return this.email;
	}

	public void setAddress(String address) {
		this.address = address;
	}

	public String getAddress() {
		return this.address;
	}

	@Override
	public boolean equals(Object obj) {
		if (obj == null) {
			return false;
		}
		return this.getId().equals(((Model) obj).getId());
	}

	@Override
	public int hashCode() {
		if (this.id == null) {
			return toString().hashCode();
		}
		return this.id.hashCode();
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
		buf.append(this.id).append(",");
		buf.append(this.nationalId).append(",");
		buf.append(this.name).append(",");
		buf.append(this.email).append(",");
		buf.append(this.address).append(",");
		return buf.toString();
	}
}
  1. Server URL Configuration file located at src/main/resources/config.properties which contains the following:

app.services.persons.url=http://localhost:8080/app/persons
  1. Main java class located at src/main/java/com/app/App.java which contains the following:

package com.app;

import java.util.List;

import com.app.person.ExampleServiceClient;
import com.app.person.Model;
import com.jk.core.util.JK;

public class App {
	private static Model createdAccount;

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ExampleServiceClient client = new ExampleServiceClient();
		addRecord(client);
		updateRecord(client);
		printAll(client);
		find(client);
		delete(client);
		// find(client); this will throw an exception with 404 page not found
	}

	private static void updateRecord(ExampleServiceClient client) {
		createdAccount.setName("Updated - Jalal");
		client.update(createdAccount);
	}

	private static void delete(ExampleServiceClient client) {
		client.delete(createdAccount.getId());
	}

	private static void find(ExampleServiceClient client) {
		// Retrieve single account
		Model account = client.find("/" + createdAccount.getId());
		JK.printBlock(account);
	}

	private static void addRecord(ExampleServiceClient client) {
		Model account = new Model();
		account.setNationalId("123456789");
		account.setName("Jalal Kiswani");
		account.setEmail("[email protected]");
		account.setAddress("Reno, NV");
		createdAccount= client.insert(account);

	}

	private static void printAll(ExampleServiceClient client) {
		// Retrieve all account
		List<Model> list = client.getAll();

		for (Model record : list) {
			JK.print(record);
		}
	}
}

Alternatively, you can clone or download the tutorial repository then import the project into your IDE.

How to run Project:

  1. Set up the project with the content shown above.

  2. Inside your IDE, go to the src/main/java/com/app/App.java class.

Main Class

  1. Next, run it as a Java Application.

Run as Java Application

  1. Your program will start running and show you the result of the run in the console.

console output

Example Explanation

  1. The first two output lines are printing all the records inside the microservice, notice how the second record which got updated is changed.

  2. The following line shows the record that got deleted.

  3. Check the main method to see how the client and server communicated to produce this output.
