Gradle – Spring 4 MVC Hello World Example

In this tutorial, we will show you a Gradle + Spring 4 MVC, Hello World Example (JSP view), XML configuration.

Technologies used :

Gradle 2.0
Spring 4.1.6.RELEASE
Eclipse 4.4
JDK 1.7
Logback 1.1.3
Boostrap 3

1. Project Structure

Download the project source code and review the project folder structure :

spring4-mvc-gradle-project

2. Gradle Build

2.1 Review the `build.gradle` file, this should be self-explanatory.

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'
apply plugin: 'jetty'

// JDK 7
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
	compile 'ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.1.3'
	compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.1.6.RELEASE'
	compile 'javax.servlet:jstl:1.2'
}

// Embeded Jetty for testing
jettyRun{
	contextPath = "spring4"
	httpPort = 8080
}

jettyRunWar{
	contextPath = "spring4"
	httpPort = 8080
}

//For Eclipse IDE only
eclipse {

  wtp {
    component {
      
      //define context path, default to project folder name
      contextPath = 'spring4'
      
    }
    
  }
}

2.2 To make this project supports Eclipse IDE, issues gradle eclipse :

your-project$ gradle eclipse

3. Spring MVC

Spring MVC related stuff.

3.1 Spring Controller – `@Controller` and `@RequestMapping`.

WelcomeController.java

package com.mkyong.helloworld.web;

import java.util.Map;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

import com.mkyong.helloworld.service.HelloWorldService;

@Controller
public class WelcomeController {

	private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(WelcomeController.class);
	private final HelloWorldService helloWorldService;

	@Autowired
	public WelcomeController(HelloWorldService helloWorldService) {
		this.helloWorldService = helloWorldService;
	}

	@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public String index(Map<String, Object> model) {

		logger.debug("index() is executed!");

		model.put("title", helloWorldService.getTitle(""));
		model.put("msg", helloWorldService.getDesc());
		
		return "index";
	}

	@RequestMapping(value = "/hello/{name:.+}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public ModelAndView hello(@PathVariable("name") String name) {

		logger.debug("hello() is executed - $name {}", name);

		ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView();
		model.setViewName("index");
		
		model.addObject("title", helloWorldService.getTitle(name));
		model.addObject("msg", helloWorldService.getDesc());
		
		return model;

	}

}

3.2 A service to generate a message.

HelloWorldService.java

package com.mkyong.helloworld.service;

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.util.StringUtils;

@Service
public class HelloWorldService {

	private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HelloWorldService.class);

	public String getDesc() {

		logger.debug("getDesc() is executed!");

		return "Gradle + Spring MVC Hello World Example";

	}

	public String getTitle(String name) {

		logger.debug("getTitle() is executed! $name : {}", name);

		if(StringUtils.isEmpty(name)){
			return "Hello World";
		}else{
			return "Hello " + name;
		}
		
	}

}

3.3 Views – JSP + JSTL + bootstrap. A simple JSP page to display the model, and includes the static resources like css and js.

/WEB-INF/views/jsp/index.jsp

3.4 Logging – Send all logs to console.

logback.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>

	<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
	  <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">

		<Pattern>
		%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n
		</Pattern>

	  </layout>
	</appender>

	<logger name="org.springframework" level="debug" 
                additivity="false">
		<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
	</logger>
	
	<logger name="com.mkyong.helloworld" level="debug" 
                additivity="false">
