Spring Web Services

Spring Web Services is a product of the Spring community focused on creating document-driven Web services. Spring Web Services aims to facilitate contract-first SOAP service development, allowing for the creation of flexible web services using one of the many ways to manipulate XML payloads.

Installation

Releases of Spring Web Services are available for download from Maven Central, as well as our own repository, https://repo.spring.io/release.

Please visit https://spring.io/projects/spring-ws to get the right Maven/Gradle settings for your selected version.

Building Spring Web Services

1. Run ./mvnw clean package

This will generate the artifacts.

You can also import the project into your IDE.

Making a release

1. Create a new release (on the main branch).

   % ci/create-release.sh <release version> <next snapshot version>

2. With the release tagged, push the tagged version to the release branch.

   % git checkout -b release
   % git reset --hard <tag>
   % git push -f origin release

Note	You can chain the previous set of commands together using &&.

The pipeline will build and release the "release" branch. It will also build a new a new snapshot and stage it on artifactory.

Running CI tasks locally

Since the pipeline uses Docker, it’s easy to:

• Debug what went wrong on your local machine.

• Test out a a tweak to your test.sh script before sending it out.

• Experiment against a new image before submitting your pull request.

All of these use cases are great reasons to essentially run what Jenkins does on your local machine.

Important

To do this you must have Docker installed on your machine.

1. docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-ws-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash

   This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at spring-ws-github.

2. cd spring-ws-github

   Next, run the test.sh script from inside the container:

3. PROFILE=none ci/test.sh

Since the container is binding to your source, you can make edits from your IDE and continue to run build jobs.

If you need to test the build.sh script, then do this:

1. docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/spring-ws-github adoptopenjdk/openjdk8:latest /bin/bash

   This will launch the Docker image and mount your source code at spring-ws-github and the temporary artifactory output directory at spring-ws-artifactory.

   Next, run the build.sh script from inside the container:

2. ci/build.sh

Important

build.sh will attempt to push to Artifactory. If you don’t supply credentials, it will fail.

Note	Docker containers can eat up disk space fast! From time to time, run docker system prune to clean out old images.
