How To create RestClient with Spring Boot Application in Spring Tool Suite - spring-boot

I am new to STS. I am creating RESTful Web Services with the Jersey implementation using the Gradle Build tool. Can any one tell me how to create or consume REST in STS?

Spring Boot provides many sample projects on GitHub that can be used for getting started on a new project. In your case the Jersey sample project should provide you with a good starting point.
After download the sample source code you can import the project into STS using File -> Import and select Existing Maven Project.

how to write a code for database connection from eclipse using spring. This should be a simple spring maven project without using spring boot

I am new to spring. I am not able to figure out how to write a spring project for creating DB connection using maven , without using spring -boot or hibernate. it is supposed to be a simple spring maven project.
can you help me with few sample codes.
Install the Spring tools suite plugin for eclipse from the following link.
With spring tools suite, access the spring dashboard
Select the Import Reference App, this will provide several example applications from the Spring guides, choose the example and the example will be installed onto your eclipse workspace. These examples are well documented , with clear instructions on how to run the project. Hopefully this should help you get started with learning Spring framework.

Spring Boot web app without maven

Friends,
I am trying to build a Spring boot project. but the challenge is maven isn't working in office environment(basically proxy isn't allowing).
Is there any way to create a spring boot project without maven?
if I can get any boiler code link would be very helpful.
Yes, it is possible. Just add all the necessary jar in project class path manually. Example Spring boot project jar added by gradle.

Customizing Spring Boot project structure

I am a bit intrigued by Spring boot project structure.
When I create a spring boot project using Eclipse (with Spring tools plugin) and spring initializr (in eclipse Spring->Spring Starter Project), there is no folder src/main/webapp/WEB-INF created. Now is that (src/main/webapp/WEB-INF) to be created manually? If not how to create that directory using spring Spring Starter Project ? If Spring Starter Project is not answer how to create it using some kind of wizard. I am using eclipse with "spring tools" plugin (sts+spring-ide)
I have searched in the web and I am yet to find my answer. Please guide.
In short I am looking for answers to what (and how) are the customization options for project structure in a spring boot project.

Why there is no spring project in new->file->spring but only have some other kinds of spring project such as Legacy,Roo,Starter

After I finished to add the STS to eclipse,when I just want to build a new spring project ,but there is no [spring project] under the [Spring] menu,but only:
import spring Getting started content
Spring Legacy Project
Spring Roo Project
Spring starter Project
The best way to create a new empty Spring project is to use the "Spring Starter Project" wizard. It creates a new Spring Boot project and allows you to select the boot starters that you want to use to populate the classpath of your project with the necessary libraries. Under the hood it uses http://start.spring.io.
If you would like to get started with Spring and would like to follow one of the guides from http://spring.io/guides, the "Import Getting Started Content" wizard is the best choice. It offers you to download those guides directly into your workspace and work with them.
The "Spring Legacy Project" wizard is an outdated one that allows you to create plain Spring projects that use older Spring versions. This will soon be gone in future versions.
The "Spring Roo Project" wizard uses Spring Roo under the hood, a specific technology to work with Spring projects. This is definitely not the right wizard for you if you just want to create a new Spring project (without dealing with Spring Roo in the future).
Hope this helps!

Is there a maven 2 archetype for spring 3 MVC applications?

I'm experimenting with the spring 3 MVC framework. Since i use maven 2 to manage my project, i'm searching for a archetype to create a spring 3 MVC application.
You can use STS (spring tool suite) a new spring MVC template project creates a working application using spring 3.
Or you can using Spring Roo to give a working foundation to your project.
I also couldn't find useful archetypes, so I have created my own. You can find it here. If you find anything you'd like to add, please don't hesitate to mail me or send a patch
Spring MVC quickstart archetype is available on GitHub, courtesy of kolorobot. Good instructions are provided on how to install it to your local Maven repo and use it to create a new Spring MVC project. He’s even helpfully included the Tomcat 7 Maven plugin in the archetypical project so that the newly created Spring MVC can be run from the command line without having to manually deploy it to an application server.
Kolorobot’s example application includes the following:
No-xml Spring MVC 3.2 web application for Servlet 3.0 environment
Apache Tiles with configuration in place,
Bootstrap
JPA 2.0 (Hibernate/HSQLDB)
JUnit/Mockito
Spring Security 3.1
AppFuse and AppFuse Light have been upgraded to use Spring 3 so I guess you could use one of the appfuse archetypes.
But what is exactly a Spring MVC application if not a regular webapp with some dependencies on Spring 3 artefacts?
From the springsource forum:
In Spring Source Tool Suite.
Go to New -> Other -> Spring Source Tool Suite -> Spring Template Project -> Spring MVC Project
enter the details and click Finish.
The Codehaus Maven User Archetypes List has several archetypes including two from app-fuse that use Spring MVC.
This archetype creates a Java web application that uses Spring MVC framework, Angular and Event Sourcing.
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=no.bouvet \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-eventsourcing \
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0.2 \
-DgroupId=com.domain.myapp \
-DartifactId=myapp
You can find the source here - maven-archetype-eventsourcing
And read the blogg - Get your Event Sourced web application development started with one line using Maven!
A friend and I created this spring boiler plate for SPA applications. Could perhaps be useful to you https://github.com/PabloK/SpringRESTboilerplate
What I do is create a new Spring Project and one of the selections available in STS Simple Spring Web Maven; it sets up a Spring 3 Maven webapp, just modify the pom to Spring 4 and do a clean install from the Run Config.
As far as i know it does not exist. But why didn't create your own?
