Message Store

This exercise is a RESTful API to work as a basic message store.

Quick start

1. Use Git to clone this repo.
2. To build the project: ./mvnw clean install.
3. To serve it: ./mvnw spring-boot:run.
4. To test: http://localhost:8080.
5. To shutdown: send POST to http://localhost:8080/actuator/shutdown

Project description

The project is built with Spring Boot using these Starters and dependencies:

1. Web - Full-stack web development with Tomcat.
2. JPA - Java Persistence API including spring-data-jpa, spring-orm and Hibernate
3. H2 - H2 database (with embedded support)
4. HATEOAS - HATEOAS-based RESTful services
5. DevTools - Spring Boot Development Tools

The embedded database is initialized automatically at startup. This is enabled by placing the data.sql file in the src/main/resources folder.

Endpoints

1. POST: /actuator/shutdown Shuts down the server.
   http://localhost:8080/actuator/shutdown

2. GET: client/{client_id} Retrieves a client by its id.
   http://localhost:8080/client/1

3. GET: message/messageid:{message_id} Retrieves a message by its id.
   http://localhost:8080/message/messageid:1

4. GET: message/messageid:{message_id}/clientid:{client_id} Retrieves a message of a client.
   http://localhost:8080/message/messageid:1/clientid:1

5. GET: message/clientid:{client_id} Retrieves all available messages of a client.
   http://localhost:8080/message/clientid:1

6. POST: message/clientid:{client_id} Creates a new message for given client.

7. PUT message/messageid:{message_id}/clientid:{client_id} Creates a message for given client.
