Spring Pet Clinic and the Developer Sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift

This repo contains a container-ready implementation of the iconic Spring Petclinic application. Specifically, this code is useful with the OpenShift Source-to-Image (s2i) technology and is part of the introductory material for Developer Sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift.

OpenShift Implementation

Get your free OpenShift cluster to run this demo. You can get free access to Developer Sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift at: https://developers.redhat.com/developer-sandbox

Dev Console

Make sure you are in the Developer perspective:

Dev Perspective

The first step is create a database to hold our data. We'll use a MySQL Image to do this.

Click the +Add button and choose the Container images option:

Container images option

Enter the MySQL image we need, docker.io/mysql:5.7.41

MySQL image entry

Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the option to access advanced options for a Deployment:

deployment options

Using the Environment variables section, specify the database and authentication values by adding the following four environment variables.

Environment variables

When they are entered, click the "Resource type" link. Select "Deployment" as the Resource type:

MySQL Ephemeral

Click the Create button.

After a few minutes, and behind the scenes, a MySQL database container will be started. At this point, you have a database engine to be used by the application. Time to move on and create the application.

Deploy Pet Clinic App

Click the +Add button and choose Import from Git type:

Fill the git repo with the following value https://github.com/redhat-developer-demos/spring-petclinic. This is where things get interesting.

When you enter the URL for a git repo, OpenShift will look at the files in the repo and attempt to discern the best way to build the application. There are three possible results:

  1. Build using the file "devfile.yaml" found in the source code
  2. Build using the file "dockerfile" found in the source code
  3. If neither of the above two files are found, build using a builder image and the built-in source-to-image (s2i) technology. This is the focus of this article.

If, the case of this example (i.e. Spring Petclinic), OpenShift does not choose the builder image option, you will need to direct it to do so. Here's how to do that:

First, click on the "Edit Import Strategy" link:

Edit Import Strategy

Next, choose the Builder Image option and make sure the Java builder is selected:

Choose builder image

Scroll down to the Advanced options section and select the option to change the Resource type:

Select Resource type

Choose the Deployment option:

Deployment resource type

Near the bottom of the page, click the Build Configuration link:

Build Configuration

Add the following environment variables, as displayed in the following screen capture:

SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=mysql
MYSQL_URL=jdbc:mysql://mysql:3306/petclinic

DC Env Vars

Finally click the Create button and wait until the Build is done and the Pod is up and running (dark blue around the deployment bubble). In testing this using the Developer Sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift, this step took approximately six minutes. Please note: You may see error messages in the Sandbox. They are temporary while the application builds.

Then push the Open URL button to view the Pet Clinic app:

Pet Clinic UI

And if you visit the MySQL deployment's Terminal then you connect to the database to see the schema and data

mysql -u root -h mysql -p

petclinic

use petclinic;
show tables;

MySQL Terminal

select * from owners;

MySQL Terminal ### End ###
