##Requirements This demo is build with with Maven and Java 1.8.
##Usage
Just start the application with the Spring Boot maven plugin (mvn spring-boot:run). The application is
running at http://localhost:8080.
There are three user accounts present to demonstrate the different levels of access to the endpoints in the API and the different authorization exceptions:
Admin - admin:admin
User - user:password
Disabled - disabled:password (this user is disabled)
There are three endpoints that are reasonable for the demo:
/auth - authentication endpoint with unrestricted access
/persons - an example endpoint that is restricted to authorized users (a valid JWT token must be present in the request header)
/protected - an example endpoint that is restricted to authorized users with the role 'ROLE_ADMIN' (a valid JWT token must be present in the request header)
I've written a small Javascript client and put some comments in the code that hopefully makes this demo understandable.
###Generating password hash for new users
I'm using bcrypt to encode passwords. Your can generate your hashes with this simple tool: Bcrypt Generator
###Using another database
Actually this demo is using an embedded H2 database that is automatically configured by Spring Boot. If you want to connect to another database you have to specify the connection in the application.yml in the resource directory. Here is an example for a MySQL DB:
spring:
jpa:
hibernate:
# possible values: validate | update | create | create-drop
ddl-auto: create-drop
datasource:
url: jdbc:mysql://localhost/myDatabase
username: myUser
password: myPassword
driver-class-name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Hint: For other databases like MySQL sequences don't work for ID generation. So you have to change the GenerationType in the entity beans to 'AUTO' or 'IDENTITY'.
