DropWizard demo application

This is an example application of a small ReST service using DropWizard. The user can manage to-do items. A simple test UI is included.

NB: This is only an example. The intent is to demonstrate the technical stack, but not to provide a full-fledged application. No real authentication is required.

Features

The following techniques are demonstrated:

• Serving static content (the test UI) via the embedded Jetty web server,
• Validation of DTOs and API endpoints,
• Declarative data access with JDBI3,
• Custom row mapper for JDBC results,
• Schema migrations with LiquiBase,
• Annotation-based JAX-RS response postprocessing,
• Basic authentication and access control,
• A simple health check,
• Unit and integration testing,
• Docker packaging.

How to start the application

1. Maven and Java SE 8 are required.
2. Run mvn clean install to build the application,
3. Start it with java -jar target/todo-kt-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar server h2-config.yml,
4. Try the test UI at http://localhost:8080, log as any user with the reversed user name as password.
