Simple web-services challenge on Spring-Boot and H2

Requirement

• Create a microservice to retrieve an Employee record for the given employee-id.
  • Initial requirement - No need of mapping Employee to Department and Address
  • Once the initial requirement is achieved (if time permits) - Map the entities
• Before sending the record, add a new field to the Employee record named encodedName and add the Base64 encoded value of [firstName]_[lastName] of the already retrieved Employee record
• Use the provided code for the Encode microservice and pass the above values to get the Base64 encoded value
• Implement a Global Exception Handler

The following are available for you

• A H2 database (provided as the DB and as the SQL Script in the db directory) as your persistence store.
  • ER diagram of the DB schema is available below
• Encode service (Rest Controller, Service Interface and Service Implementation)
• Domain entity classes for Employee, Department and Address

Following is the ER diagram for the DB.

Service Output

{
