A student that completes this project shows that they can:
- troubleshoot running services using both system and programmatically generated logs
- implement server sided routing and rendering for a Spring REST service
- implement industry standard exception handling including user friendly exception messages
We worked with dogs in plain Java. This project returns dog data using Rest APIs with appropriate exception handling, logging, and make use of Server Side Rendering.
The provided application exposes the following endpoints
- /dogs -> returns a list of all dogs
- /dogs/{id} -> returns a single dog based off of its id number
- /dogs/breeds/{breed} -> returns all dogs of the given breed
Starting with the dogs-initial application,
Add appropriate exception handling routines. Required exceptions to handle are when
- a resource is not found
- the wrong data type is used for a path variable
- a non-handled endpoint is accessed (a URL not found exception)
Add appropriate logging routines. Required logging include
- Activating actuator endpoints
- Tomcat logging routed to a separate log file
- Custom logging under each Get endpoint saying the endpoint has been accessed
- should only go to console
- for example when a clients calls /dogs log should say "/dogs accessed"
Add server side rendering using Thymeleaf to
- display all dogs ordered by breed
- display all dogs suitable for apartments ordered by breed
Stretch Goal
- Add a date and time stamp to your custom logging
