Designing a REST-ful API using Spring 3

Recorded at SpringOne 2GX 2012 in Washington, DC
Speaker: Ben Hale
In the course of creating VAS, we did a lot of work to design a useful REST API. REST is generally a very loose collection of principals that can be interpreted in many ways, so this talk would describe a more concrete idea of what a REST-ful API should look like. In addition, the implementation of this API was done with many of the new features in Spring 3 and are a good demonstration of the power it provides.

I tried running github.com/nebhale/spring-one-2012 on Spring STS 3.2.0 importing it as a Maven project, but the project doesn't run. Maven test reports an error running com.nebhale.letsmakeadeal.web.GamesControllerTest: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: LMockMvc;

Also how do I get the rest shell. I got the gui rest client but not the "rest shell". If you could get back to me on how to get that utility please?

[@rss245x]

Also can get it to run in windows 7 cmd shell

In fact simply replace org.springframework.test.web.mock with org.springframework.test.web.servlet in imports section.

[@NoWarForever]

I am getting a 404 when I try to access resource files. I configured it using java config following the documentation. @Override public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) { registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/resources/"); registry.setOrder(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE); } I have resources folder at the same level as WEB-INF inside src/main/webapp . tomcat logs are not showing anything.

[@rss245x]

Can you tell me how I was able to just import in the pom.xml from your github and the source files were recognized from the start I did have problems with the Test code though. Where is that specified? In the pom.xml file? What must I do to get the Test source to compile and run though?

[@rss245x]

oops I meant into Eclipse-Kepler IDE

[@MehediHasan-uj3gi]

Please give the Source Code ...

[@MrYTsucks]

First change spring.version 3.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT to 3.2.0.RELEASE in pom. Next, you need to import: import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders.*; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.status; import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup;
