#Rest demo

Building and running the demo

• building: mvn clean package spring-boot:run
• running: java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -jar target/rest-demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

REST API

• Users and their preferences: ** GET at http://localhost:8080/user/all : get all users' info ** POST at http://localhost:8080/user/ : create new user and her prefs *** example of JSON body {"name":"Alan Turing","salutation":"Mr.","email":"[email protected]","emailPreferences":[{"id":1},{"id":5}]} ** PUT at http://localhost:8080/user/{id} : update user and/or her prefs *** example of JSON body {"name":"Alan Turing jr.","salutation":"Mr.","email":"[email protected]","emailPreferences":[{"id":1},{"id":4}]} ** DELETE at http://localhost:8080/user/{id} : delete a user along with her prefs

• User preferences options: ** GET at http://localhost:8080/emailPreferences/all : get all possible preferences options

• Devel operations: ** GET at http://localhost:8080/dev/create : creates test data

Configuration

• Default, dev and prod (template) conf files:
• application.properties
• application-dev.properties
• application-prod.properties

Mocks

Exceptions:

• PreferencesUpdateMock will throw an exception four times in 10 calls. ** this is to test the email sync method how it will cope with errors and to test the retry functionality ** this will render as two exceptions (one on either side of the REST call) in the log ** one of the exceptions has message: Even a mock will sometimes let you down
• PreferencesUpdateMock and UserTestController will be disabled in other than dev profile ** see application-dev.properties and the classes

##TODOs

• Unit tests
• Thorough testing
• I suspect the User <-> EmailPreferenceItem many to many relationship might have some issues
