Spring PetClinic Sample Application Build Status

Understanding the Spring Petclinic application with a few diagrams

See the presentation here

Running petclinic locally

Petclinic is a Spring Boot application built using Maven. You can build a jar file and run it from the command line:

git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git
cd spring-petclinic
./mvnw package
java -jar target/*.jar

You can then access petclinic here: http://localhost:8080/

Or you can run it from Maven directly using the Spring Boot Maven plugin. If you do this it will pick up changes that you make in the project immediately (changes to Java source files require a compile as well - most people use an IDE for this):

./mvnw spring-boot:run

In case you find a bug/suggested improvement for Spring Petclinic

Our issue tracker is available here: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic/issues

Database configuration

In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (H2) which gets populated at startup with data. The h2 console is automatically exposed at http://localhost:8080/h2-console and it is possible to inspect the content of the database using the jdbc:h2:mem:testdb url.

A similar setup is provided for MySql in case a persistent database configuration is needed. Note that whenever the database type is changed, the app needs to be run with a different profile: spring.profiles.active=mysql for MySql.

You could start MySql locally with whatever installer works for y
