Spring Framework support for Dropwizard

Dropwizard with Spring Framework support for DI

Motivation

We love Dropwizard and Spring framework. Unfortunately the existing solutions to bring together both technologies are outdated. We like Dropwizard latest version (yeah, the 0.7.0-SNAPSHOT).

And we love pragmatic programming models. The less we write, the more happiness we have. That's the reason this project was born.

Build Status

Setup

Maven Setup

Very soon kids...

Gradle Setup

1. Add the following both repos in your build.gradle file

   repositories {
     maven {
       url 'http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'
     }
     maven {
       url 'http://repo.sindica.to/nexus/content/repositories/public-milestones/'
     }
   }

2. Add the following dependency

   dependencies {
     compile 'sindica.to:dropwizard-spring:0.3.0-SNAPSHOT'
   }

Development

1. Create your Dropwizard Application extending from sindica.to.dropwizard.spring.SpringApplication

   package sindica.to.sample;
   
   import sindica.to.dropwizard.spring.SpringApplication;
   
   public class MyApp extends SpringApplication<MyConf> {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
       new MyApp().run(args);
     }
   
     @Override
     public void onConfigureSpringContext(AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext applicationContext) {
       //Scan your own packages for Spring beans with annotations
       //like @Component, @Repository, @Inject, @Autowired, etc
       applicationContext.scan("sindica.to.sample");
     }
   }

2. Create the usual Dropwizard artifacts as always

   package sindica.to.sample.resource;
   
   import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
   import sindica.to.sample.model.Person;
   
   import javax.ws.rs.GET;
   import javax.ws.rs.Path;
   import java.util.List;
   
   @Path("/person")
   @Component
   public class PersonResource {
     @GET
     public List<Person> list() {
       //TODO: implement this...
     }
   }

   The trick is to add the Spring's Annotations like @Component

3. Enjoy, hack, deliver, profit¡
