RESTful service (JAVA) need help

[Acid0]

Hi there,

I need help I am really new to JAVA but do understand the basics at least already.

I need help creating the standard CRUD for REST and deploy it to TOMCAT 9.

I am working in Intellij at this stage as the IDE is just so much more user friendly for me than the other two competitors.
I have the Ultimate edition currently.

I understand that the code is the same in all IDE's but also that each IDE uses a different method of setting and configure the project before hand, so I would appreciate it if the example is done in IntelliJ

If anybody can guide me to a proper website where I can see a example on how to do the full CRUD operation that will be great.
Else if anybody in the Gauteng area is willing to physically show me and spend maybe an afternoon explaining it that will be prize number one and I will for ever be in your debt or pay in a dozen beers of your choice .

I have looked at the Spring Boot framework and seems to be the easier one to follow and the concepts make sense to me with the annotations and the model they use to create the different packages and classes.

I am not looking for any real complex methods just a standard Employee object would suffice to get the understanding of the structure and see it working at the end.

Also is there anywhere a active Java community website that I can register at to get more understanding and read up on stuff.

Thanks in advance.

That will give you a gradle or maven project that is ready to run containing a single controller/endpoint

Spring is your friend here.

A really good course that covers all of that including an example RESTful API project is https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-hibernate-tutorial/

Personally I really like the play framework for building REST APIs: https://www.playframework.com/

And this short book should get you going quickly: https://www.amazon.com/Play-Framework-Essentials-Julien-Richard-Foy-ebook/dp/B00NXWI1AI

Spring is a good quick start, but be warned. Being new to Java means that most of it will not make any sense at all to you. You can easily get something up and running but do not expose it publicly. Spring is framework, which means you have to code in a certain way sticking to specific patterns.

The amount of YouTube videos about this makes me curious why you asked on the forum?

Like others mentioned, Spring

For a really easy way to generate an API with CRUD look at loopback.io. You'll be up and running in 10min.

It's not Java though, it's nodejs.
