How to use Gradle

Reference page Building a RESTful Web Service

File preparation

Prepare a configuration file and three java files.

$ tree 
.
├── build.gradle
└── src
    └── main
        └── java
            └── hello
                ├── Application.java
                ├── Greeting.java
                └── GreetingController.java

The following two files are different from those of Building a RESTful Web Service.

`build.gradle`



buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:2.2.1.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'

bootJar {
    baseName = 'hello-service'
    version =  '0.1.0'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

`src/main/java/hello/GreetingController.java`



package hello;

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

@RestController
public class GreetingController {

  private static final String template = "Hello, %s!";
  private final AtomicLong counter = new AtomicLong();

@RequestMapping(value="/greeting",method=RequestMethod.GET)
  public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value="name", defaultValue="World") String name) {
    return new Greeting(counter.incrementAndGet(),
              String.format(template, name));
  }
}

build

$ gradle build
