Spring Multi Module Project - spring

Question

I have to create a Spring Boot project that will have a web interactive part and a batch part a,d both with the same DB (so they share the DAOs and Services), I wonder how to do it and I guess that the best approach is to create a Multi Module Project
something like this
<modules>
<module>core</module>
<module>batchApplication</module>
<module>userApplication</module>
</modules>
But, do I have to create more than 1 pom and project ??? or I can do it in the same pom ?

Answer 1

You will need a parent pom which has the spring-boot as a parent, then a directory and with pom for each child project. Your parent pom will be like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.4.3.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<groupId>com.barclaycard</groupId>
<artifactId>bc-alu</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>Barclaycard Address LookUp</name>
<modules>
<module>bc-alu-ref</module>
<module>bc-alu-web</module>
</modules>
</project>
