A basic Spring with Z2 modularity sample¶

The sample contained in the repository z2-samples.spring-basic is a clean room example on how to use the Spring integration features described in how_to_spring.

There is no further pre-requisite to running this sample, and you may proceed as described in How to run a sample. Here's the really fast version:

mkdir install
cd install 
git clone -b master http://git.z2-environment.net/z2-base.core
git clone -b master http://git.z2-environment.net/z2-samples.spring-basic

# on Linux / Mac OS:
cd z2-base.core/run/bin
./gui.sh

# on Windows:
cd z2-base.core\run\bin
gui.bat

If you want to inspect the code using Eclipse, please create a workspace in install (i.e. install/workspace) and import the Git repositories and projects (see also First steps).

There are three modules contained in this sample. For the moment only consider the following two:

com.zfabrik.samples.spring-basic.services¶

This module has a classpath defined applicationContext and exposes an annotation defined bean ComputationServiceImpl bean from it as a service to be consumed from another module: The computations bean.

com.zfabrik.samples.spring-basic.frontend¶

This module has a Web application with an application context defined in WEB-INF/applicationContext. It uses Spring AspectJ based annotation driven configuration to inject dependencies into instances of ControllerServlet.

It's application context imports the computations service from the other module above.

Finally¶

Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/frontend to verify you get this:

An extended Spring with Z2 modularity and some Spring Security sample¶

The third module com.zfabrik.samples.spring-basic.secured contained in the sample repository implements a very similar basic frontend to the one above but illustrating in addition:

• How to use Spring Security to secure the access to a Web application
• How to use Spring Security to secure methods of a bean
• How to use Spring Security with Spring AspectJ weaving
