🍃 minimal-rest-service-with-spring-webmvc

Minimalist Java program using only spring-context and spring-webmvc for study purposes, to better how Spring Boot configures WebApplicationContexts, DispatcherServlet, Controllers, global Exception handling, etc.

The goal is to keep this as simple as possible and cover:

• Refactor plain java minimal RESTful service created previosly to use Spring's IoC Container.
• Setting up WebApplicationContext
• DispatcherServlet
• Controllers
• GET endpoint, @ResponseBody
• POST endpoints, @RequestBody
• @PathVariable e @RequestParam
• Global exception handling
• Database connection

Progress is going to be stored on different branches, starting from 1-refactor-to-spring-ioc-container.
