Background and Vision

Senior Java guy a bit rusty after spending the last year doing Rails and Angular only.

Acme Retail App was a holiday project to experiment on the new Spring features (Boot specifically) featured on Spring.io website. When AppDirect's opportunity came by, I decided to use it as a base. This proved challenging for a couple of reasons, one of them being my familiarity with the new way of configuring things.

The vision was to have some data visible only when the user had a particular subscription level. This behavior can be observed when logged as a FREE or PREMIUM subscriber.

I decided to leave some sections of the app unsecured by design to always display AppDirect's integration. Some sections do require to be logged in.
