Spring Boot Rest Application

It is very easy to create a rest service. We even do not need a servlet container to run the application. Spring Boot will prepare a container for us. We only need to add what is necessary. Even a web.xml file is not necessary.

This rest service searches a text in elasticsearch and returns the result as JSON. Amount of code needed for this task is amazingly low.

First class is the controller. Request will be served with this controller. For elasticsearch repository see [1].

Now comes the spring boot application entry point.

In order to use the rest service use the request like this:

http://localhost:8080/recipe/by-name?name=mynameis

For complete code listing in github see [2].

Obfuscating Spring Boot Projects Using Maven Proguard Plugin

Introduction Obfuscation is the act of reorganizing bytecode such that it becomes hard to decompile. Many developers rely on obfuscation to save their sensitive code from undesired eyes. Publishing jars without obfuscation may hinder competitiveness because rivals may take advantage of easily decompilable nature of java binaries. Objective Spring Boot applications make use of public interfaces, annotations which makes applications harder to obfuscate. Additionally, maven Spring Boot plugin creates a fat jar which contains all dependent jars. It is not viable to obfuscate the whole fat jar. Thus obfuscating Spring Boot applications is different than obfuscating regular java applications and requires a suitable strategy. Audience Those who use Spring Boot and Maven and wish to obfuscate their application using Proguard are the target audience for this article. Sample Application As the sample application, I will use elastic search synch application from my G...

Hadoop Installation Document - Standalone Mode

This document shows my experience on following apache document titled “Hadoop:Setting up a Single Node Cluster”[1] which is for Hadoop version 3.0.0-Alpha2 [2]. A. Prepare the guest environment Install VirtualBox. Create a virtual 64 bit Linux machine. Name it “ubuntul_hadoop_master”. Give it 500MB memory. Create a VMDK disc which is dynamically allocated up to 30GB. In network settings in first tab you should see Adapter 1 enabled and attached to “NAT”. In second table enable adapter 2 and attach to “Host Only Adaptor”. First adapter is required for internet connection. Second one is required for letting outside connect to a guest service. In storage settings, attach a Linux iso file to IDE channel. Use any distribution you like. Because of small installation size, I choose minimal Ubuntu iso [1]. In package selection menu, I only left standard packages selected. Login to system. Setup JDK. $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk Install ssh and pdsh, if...

Multi Module Maven Project with Obfuscation

Warning! This article is not up-to-date anymore and might be inaccurate. Please refer to following post. http://huseyinabanozeng.blogspot.com/2018/07/obfuscating-spring-boot-projects-using.html This article is an extension to article named Multi Module Maven Project Using Assembly Plugin . Assembly module is added with obfuscation configuration. Obfuscation is a technique to make byte code harder to reverse engineer to protect source code. In Java word there are not many freeware obfuscation tools. One of the well known obfuscation tools is named proguard. It has a nice maven plugin. But I could not make proguard-base 4.10 work. It gave ClassNotFoundErrors due to worngly obfuscated class names. Another option is yguard from yworks . Yguard has an ant task and works with maven ant-run plugin as well. My experience with yguard is pretty well, it works just fine. Below is the pom file for assembly module with obfuscation configuration. <?...
