Spring Boot application Example

As we know that there are various ways for creating Spring Boot application. For this sample application, I am going to use STS (Spring Tool Suite) IDE.

Steps:

• Create a new project by selecting spring starter project wizard

• Select project type as Maven, provide project name, packaging, and Java version etc.

• Select spring boot version and project dependencies

• After finishing, you can see the project structure as shown below

• Spring boot generates a Java file in the src/main/java directory, pom.xml file with all required dependency. 

• To handle HTTP request, Create a Controller class

• Now run the SpringBootExampleApplication.java as a Java application. It will start the tomcat server on default port i.e. 8080

• Open browser and hit url http://localhost:8080/application

Note:

By Default, Application will start on port 8080 but can override by adding server.port to application.properties file.

Happy Coding..!!!
