Build REST CRUD APIs with Spring Boot, MyBatis(XML Mapping), & PostgreSQL

In this section, we will learn how to develop a REST-style web service with Spring Boot, MyBatis(XML Mapping) and PostgreSQL. GitHub repository link is provided at the end of this tutorial. You can download the source code. 


Technologies used:

  • Spring Boot 3.0.1
  • MyBatis 3
  • Java 17
  • Maven 
  • PostgreSQL driver and database

These are APIs that Spring Boot backend App will export:



Creating a simple spring boot web application:

First, open the Spring initializr https://start.spring.io/ 

Then, Provide the Group and Artifact name. We have provided Group name com.knf.dev.demo and Artifact spring-boot-postgresql-mybatis-xml-crud. Here I selected the Maven project - language Java 17 - Spring Boot 3.0.1 and add Spring web dependency, MyBatis Framework and PostgreSQL Driver.



Then, click on the Generate button. When we click on the Generate button, it starts packing the project in a .zip(spring-boot-postgresql-mybatis-xml-crud) file and downloads the project. Then, Extract the Zip file. 
Then, import the project on your favourite IDE.

Final Project directory:



Create database.

First, you need to create a database in the PostgreSQL. 
CREATE DATABASE testdb;

schema.sql

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users
(
   id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
   first_name varchar(255) not null,

   email_id varchar(255) not null
);

application.properties

mybatis.mapper-locations is a key configuration. It specifies the path to load the xml file for the mapper interface (wildcards can be used).

Use mybatis.type-aliases-package to specify the POJO scan package so that mybatis automatically scans for custom POJOs.

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/testdb
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=root

spring.sql.init.mode=always

#Configure the xml Mapping path
mybatis.mapper-locations=classpath:mapper/UserMapper.xml
#Configure entity category names
mybatis.type-aliases-package=com.knf.dev.demo.model

Creating User Bean

package com.knf.dev.demo.model;

public class User {

    private Integer id;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String emailId;

    public User() {
    }

    public User(Integer id,String firstName,
              String lastName, String emailId) {
        super();
        this.id=id;
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
        this.emailId = emailId;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getEmailId() {
        return emailId;
    }

    public void setEmailId(String emailId) {
        this.emailId = emailId;
    }
}

Create User Repository

package com.knf.dev.demo.repository;

import com.knf.dev.demo.model.User;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

public interface UserRepository {

     List<User> findAll();

     Optional<User> findById(Integer id);

     int deleteById(Integer id);

     int insert(User user);

     int update(User user);
}

UserMapper.xml

Mapper XML is an important file in MyBatis, which contains a set of statements to configure various SQL statements such as select, insert, update, and delete.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE mapper
        PUBLIC "-//mybatis.org//DTD Mapper 3.0//EN"
        "http://mybatis.org/dtd/mybatis-3-mapper.dtd">
<mapper namespace="com.knf.dev.demo.repository.UserRepository">
    <resultMap type="user" id="result">
        <id property="id" column="id" />
        <result property="firstName" column="first_name" />
        <result property="lastName" column="last_name" />
        <result property="emailId" column="email_id" />
    </resultMap>

    <select id="findAll" resultType="user" resultMap="result">
        SELECT * FROM users
    </select>

    <insert id="insert" parameterType="user"
            keyProperty="id" useGeneratedKeys="true">
        INSERT INTO users(first_name, last_name, email_id)
        VALUES(#{firstName}, #{lastName}, #{emailId})
    </insert>

    <update id="update" parameterType="user">
        UPDATE users SET first_name = #{firstName},
        email_id = #{emailId}, last_name = #{lastName}
        WHERE id = #{id}
    </update>

    <delete id="deleteById" parameterType="int">
        DELETE FROM users WHERE id = #{id}
    </delete>

    <select id="findById" parameterType="int"
            resultType="user" resultMap="result">
        SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = #{id}
    </select>
</mapper>

-Exception handling

Create ResourceNotFoundException

package com.knf.dev.demo.exception;

public class ResourceNotFoundException extends RuntimeException{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public ResourceNotFoundException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }
}

Create GlobalExceptionHandler

Spring supports exception handling by a Global Exception Handler (@ExceptionHandler) with Controller Advice (@ControllerAdvice). This enables a mechanism that makes ResponseEntity work with the type safety and flexibility of @ExceptionHandler.
package com.knf.dev.demo.exception;

import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ControllerAdvice;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ExceptionHandler;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;

@ControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {

    @ExceptionHandler(ResourceNotFoundException.class)
    public ResponseEntity<CustomErrorResponse> 
        globalExceptionHandler(Exception ex, WebRequest request) {
        CustomErrorResponse errors = new CustomErrorResponse();
        errors.setTimestamp(LocalDateTime.now());
        errors.setError(ex.getMessage());
        errors.setStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND.value());
        return new ResponseEntity<>(errors, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
    }
}

Create CustomErrorResponse

package com.knf.dev.demo.exception;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonFormat;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;

public class CustomErrorResponse {

    @JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, 
                       pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")
    private LocalDateTime timestamp;
    private int status;
    private String error;
    public LocalDateTime getTimestamp()
    {
        return timestamp;
    }
    public void setTimestamp(LocalDateTime timestamp)
    {
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
    }
    public int getStatus()
    {
        return status;
    }
    public void setStatus(int status)
    {
        this.status = status;
    }
    public String getError()
    {
        return error;
    }
    public void setError(String error)
    {
        this.error = error;
    }
}

Create User Rest Controller

package com.knf.dev.demo.controller;

import com.knf.dev.demo.exception.ResourceNotFoundException;
import com.knf.dev.demo.model.User;
import com.knf.dev.demo.repository.UserRepository;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1")
public class UserController {
    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;

    // get all users
    @GetMapping("/users")
    public List<User> getAllUsers()
    {
        return userRepository.findAll();
    }

    // create user rest API
    @PostMapping("/users")
    public Map<String, Boolean> createUser(@RequestBody User user)  {

        Map<String, Boolean> response = new HashMap<>();

        Boolean bool = userRepository.insert(user) > 0 ?
                response.put("created", Boolean.TRUE) :
                response.put("created", Boolean.FALSE);

        return response;

    }

    // get user by id rest api
    @GetMapping("/users/{id}")
    public User findUserById(@PathVariable Integer id) {

        User user = userRepository.findById(id).
                orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException
                ("User not exist with id :" + id));
        return user;
    }

   // update user rest api
   @PutMapping("/users/{id}")
   public Map<String, Boolean> updateUser(@PathVariable Integer id,
                                          @RequestBody User userDetails) {

      User user = userRepository.findById(id)
              .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException
               ("User not exist with id :" + id));
       userDetails.setId(id);
       Map<String, Boolean> response = new HashMap<>();

       Boolean bool = userRepository.update(userDetails) > 0 ?
               response.put("updated", Boolean.TRUE) :
               response.put("updated", Boolean.FALSE);

      return response;
    }

    // delete user rest api
    @DeleteMapping("/users/{id}")
    public Map<String, Boolean> deleteUser
               (@PathVariable Integer id) {

        User user = userRepository.findById(id)
                .orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException
                        ("User not exist with id :" + id));

        Map<String, Boolean> response = new HashMap<>();

        Boolean bool = userRepository.deleteById(user.getId()) > 0 ?
                response.put("deleted", Boolean.TRUE) :
                response.put("deleted", Boolean.FALSE);
        return response;
    }
}

Run the application - Application.java

Set the package where the mapper interface resides (there can be more than one) via the @MapperScan annotation.
package com.knf.dev.demo;

import org.mybatis.spring.annotation.MapperScan;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
@MapperScan("com.knf.dev.demo.repository")
public class Application {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
   }
}
Application is the entry point that sets up the Spring Boot application. The @SpringBootApplication annotation enables auto-configuration and component scanning. 

Step1: Download or clone the source code from GitHub to a local machine - Click here


Step 2: mvn clean install


Step 3: Run the Spring Boot application - mvn spring-boot:run


OR 


Run this Spring boot application from

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

Image
In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Stream<obj2>

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r

Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeExc
