A student that completes this project shows that they can:
- implement basic front end Java for a Spring REST service
- implement industry standard exception handling including user friendly exception messages
We worked with dogs in plain Java. This project returns dog data using Rest APIs with appropriate exception handling and make use of a Java Front End.
The provided application exposes the following endpoints
- /dogs -> returns a list of all dogs
- /dogs/{id} -> returns a single dog based off of its id number
- /dogs/breeds/{breed} -> returns all dogs of the given breed
Starting with the dogs-initial application
Add appropriate exception handling routines. Required exceptions to handle are when
- a resource is not found
- the wrong data type is used for a path variable
- a non-handled endpoint is accessed (a URL not found exception)
Add a front end client using Thymeleaf to
- display all dogs ordered by breed
- display all dogs suitable for apartments ordered by breed
