Vulnerable version of the venerable PetClinic

Spring PetClinic Sample Application

Understanding the Spring Petclinic application with a few diagrams

See the presentation here

Running petclinic locally

	git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git
	cd spring-petclinic
	./mvnw spring-boot:run

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

Database configuration

In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (HSQLDB) which gets populated at startup with data. A similar setup is provided for MySql in case a persistent database configuration is needed. Note that whenever the database type is changed, the data-access.properties file needs to be updated and the mysql-connector-java artifact from the pom.xml needs to be uncommented.

You could start a MySql database with docker:

docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=petclinic -e MYSQL_DATABASE=petclinic -p 3306:3306 mysql:5.7.8

Working with Petclinic in Eclipse/STS

prerequisites

The following items should be installed in your system:

• Maven 3 (http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/installation.html)
• git command line tool (https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git)
• Eclipse with the m2e plugin (m2e is installed by default when using the STS (http://www.springsource.org/sts) distribution of Eclipse)

Note: when m2e is available, there is an m2 icon in Help -> About dialog. If m2e is not there, just follow the install process here: http://eclipse.org/m2e/download/

Steps:

1. In the command line

git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git

2. Inside Eclipse

File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven project

Interesting Spring Petclinic branches and forks

The Spring Petclinic master branch in the main spring-projects GitHub org is the "canonical" implementation, currently based on Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. There are quite a few forks in a special GitHub org spring-petclinic. If you have a special interest in a different technology stack that could be used to implement the Pet Clinic then please join the community there.

Link	Main technologies
spring-framework-petclinic	Spring Framework XML configuration, JSP pages, 3 persistence layers: JDBC, JPA and Spring Data JPA
javaconfig branch	Same frameworks as the spring-framework-petclinic but with Java Configuration instead of XML
spring-petclinic-angularjs	AngularJS 1.x, Spring Boot and Spring Data JPA
spring-petclinic-angular	Angular 4 front-end of the Petclinic REST API [spring-petclinic-rest][]
spring-petclinic-microservices	Distributed version of Spring Petclinic built with Spring Cloud
spring-petclinic-reactjs	ReactJS (with TypeScript) and Spring Boot
spring-petclinic-graphql	GraphQL version based on React Appolo, TypeScript and GraphQL Spring boot starter
spring-petclinic-kotlin	Kotlin version of spring-petclinic
[spring-petclinic-rest][]	Backend REST API

Interaction with other open source projects

One of the best parts about working on the Spring Petclinic application is that we have the opportunity to work in direct contact with many Open Source projects. We found some bugs/suggested improvements on various topics such as Spring, Spring Data, Bean Validation and even Eclipse! In many cases, they've been fixed/implemented in just a few days. Here is a list of them:

Name	Issue
Spring JDBC: simplify usage of NamedParameterJdbcTemplate	SPR-10256 and SPR-10257
Bean Validation / Hibernate Validator: simplify Maven dependencies and backward compatibility	HV-790 and HV-792
Spring Data: provide more flexibility when working with JPQL queries	DATAJPA-292
