AngularJS and Spring Boot version of the Spring PetClinic Sample Application
Understanding the Spring Petclinic application with a few diagrams
Running petclinic locally
git clone https://github.com/spring-petclinic/spring-petclinic-angularjs.git
cd spring-petclinic-angularjs
./mvnw clean install
cd spring-petclinic-server
../mvnw spring-boot:run
You can then access petclinic here: http://localhost:8080/

Database configuration
In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (HSQLDB) which gets populated at startup with data. A similar setups is provided for MySql in case a persistent database configuration is needed. To run petclinic locally using MySQL database, it is needed to change profile defined in the application.properties` file.
For MySQL database, it is needed to switch profile. There is two ways:
- Update application properties: open the
application.properties
file, then change the valuehsqldb
tomysql
- Use a Spring Boot JVM parameter: simply start the JVM with the
-Dspring.profiles.active=mysql.prod
parameter.
Before do this, it would be good to change JDBC url properties defined in the application-mysql.properties
file:
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/petclinic?useUnicode=true
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=petclinic
The localhost
host should be set for a MySQL dabase instance started on your local machine.
You may also start a MySql database with docker:
docker run --name mysql-petclinic -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=petclinic -e MYSQL_DATABASE=petclinic -p 3306:3306 mysql:5.7
Docker
Run an image
To run a Docker image of Petclinic with its embedded HSQL database, you may
docker run -p 8080:8080 -t --name springboot-petclinic arey/springboot-petclinic
If you want to use MySQL, you first have to change the spring.datasource.url
declared in the application-mysql.properties
file.
You have to rebuild the image (see next section).
Then you could activated the mysql
profile:
docker run -e "SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=mysql,prod" -p 8080:8080 -t --name springboot-petclinic arey/springboot-petclinic
Use Docker Compose
The simplest way is to use docker-compose
docker-compose up
Build an image
To rebuild a Docker image on your device:
./mvnw clean install
cd spring-petclinic-server
mvn clean package docker:build
To publish a new image into Docker Hub:
mvn clean package docker:build -DpushImageTag
Working with Petclinic in Eclipse/STS
prerequisites
The following items should be installed in your system:
- Maven 3 (http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/installation.html)
- git command line tool (https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git)
- Eclipse with the m2e plugin (m2e is installed by default when using the STS (http://www.springsource.org/sts) distribution of Eclipse)
Note: when m2e is available, there is an m2 icon in Help -> About dialog. If m2e is not there, just follow the install process here: http://eclipse.org/m2e/download/
Steps:
- In the command line
git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git
- Inside Eclipse
File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven project
Active the dev Spring profile
In development mode, we recommand you yo use the dev
Spring profile.
Just add the following VM option:
-Dspring.profiles.active=dev
All static resources changes will be monitored by the embedded LiveReload server of Spring Boot Devtools. See application-dev.properties for details.
Client-side Architecture
Compared to the standard Petclinic based on JSP pages, this SpringBoot AngularJS Petclinic is splitted in 2 modules - a client module and a server module:
- spring-petclinic-client : static resources (images, fonts, style, angular JS code) packaged as a webjar.
- spring-petclinic-server : Spring MVC REST API and an index.html template

Spring Boot Configuration | Files |
---|---|
The Main Class | PetClinicApplication.java |
Common properties file | application.properties |
Development properties file | application-dev.properties |
Production properties file | application-prod.properties |
Caching: Cache with EhCache | CacheConfig.java |

Interesting Spring Petclinic forks
The Spring Petclinic master branch in the main spring-projects GitHub org is the "canonical" implementation, currently based on Spring Boot and Thymeleaf.
This [spring-petclinic-angularjs][] project is one of the several forks hosted in a special GitHub org: spring-petclinic. If you have a special interest in a different technology stack that could be used to implement the Pet Clinic then please join the community there.
