In my previous post, I completed the first phase of my Bird Log application. I can use this application to view my current sightings and add new sightings. I also implemented very basic support for content filtering. In this post, I am going to use eBird APIs to display current bird sightings reported on ebird.org, near my current location. I plan to use HTML5 Geolocation APIs to find out my current location automatically and then use Google Geocoding APIs to map my current Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) to a human-readable address. (more…)
In the previous post, I added AngularJS support to my base Spring Boot Application. In this post, I am going to integrate Bootstrap CSS and Javascript framework to make it pretty.
Bootstrap CSS
and Javascript
files are included in the application.<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" >
and
<script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script >
<script src="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script >
In my previous post, I created a project for a simple web application using Spring Boot and Maven. I want to take it further and add AngularJS support to the setup.
I am an avid birder so I am going to develop a Bird Log app to log my bird sightings. Recently, I was introduced to AngularJS and have become a big fan of this framework. I am going to develop a Single Page Application (SPA) using AngularJS and Twitter Bootstrap Framework for HTML and CSS.
Using Spring Framework facilitates good, extensible design by promoting interface driven programming, ease of testing through Inversion of Control and supporting various test frameworks and much more. Integrating Spring in a Struts2 based web application is a logical next step. In this post, we will integrate the Spring Framework in the Struts2 web application started in this post – Starting Struts2 web application development (using Maven2 and Eclipse)
In my previous post, How to integrate Spring Framework with a Struts2 application, I created a simple web application that used Struts2 and Spring. In this post, I am going to extend that application to add persistence logic using JPA (Java Persistence Architecture) and Hibernate.
I am assuming that you are already familiar with the technologies used in this post – Struts2, Spring and Hibernate.
My goal is to create a project that can be used to jumpstart a Struts2, Spring and Hibernate based development. This is not a detailed tutorial for these technologies.
My current development environment (at the time of developing this project) looks like this:
Maven provides many archetypes to generate various types of project skeletons. This blog post explains how to create a custom archetype that is tailor-made for your own situation. We will create an archetype for the Struts2 application.
My current development environment includes:
You need to have a starter project from which new archetype can be created. We can start with the Struts2 application created in the blog post Starting Struts2 web application development (using Maven2 and Eclipse) to create a custom archetype for Struts2 based applications. You can download the zipped source code for this project here.
