CHANGELOG.md

[Unreleased]

Added

• A DataStore class has been added to encapsulate the business rules around persistence. The DataStore API deals in Domain objects. Behind the scenes, the DataStore handles the EntityBeans and Repositories that enable reading and writing to the database. The Service components have also been refactored to interface with the DataStore instead of the Repository. The DataStore is only available in the spring-webmvc templates in this first release.

• Added MongoDB support for spring-webmvc projects. Test containers can also be used with MongoDB, but that's still an 'early-access' option, as there is a known problem that's still being investigated.

• Introduced an interface class to define the methods of implemented by the Service class. This helps enforce a separation-of-concerns between the controller and service classes.

Maintenance

• Updated these libraries and plugins: ** Ben Manes gradle plugin ** Spring Boot ** Spring Cloud

[6.1.0] - 2023-01-21

Added

• Added jakarta.persistence-api library to WebFlux and WebMvc build.gradle files. This fixes a compile-time warning.
• Webflux projects now generate integration tests when using PostgreSQL and test containers. The integration tests spin up an instance of the web application and an in-memory instance of a PostgreSQL database using test containers.

Maintenance

• Updated these libraries and plugins:
  • junit
  • reactor test
  • coditory integration test plugin
  • spotless plugin

[6.0.0] - 2022-12-31

Added

• Upgrade to Spring Boot 3, Spring Framework 6. Generated code now targets Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3. Naturally, this required that some other dependencies be updated. With Spring Framework 6, be aware that the 'jakarta' namespace replaces the 'javax' namespace; for example, 'javax.persistence' is now 'jakarta.persistence'.
• Changed the SecureRandomSeries to produce alphanumeric resource Ids instead of all-numeric resource Ids (the method that produces the all-numeric values is still in the SecureRandomSeries class). This led to refactoring some other classes.
• Added additional Kafka related libraries to dependencies.gradle:
  • Apache Kafka
  • Apache Kafka Client
  • Spring Cloud Starter Stream Kafka
  • Spring Cloud Binder Kakfa Streams

Maintenance

• Updated these libraries and plugins:
  • spring gradle plugin
  • lombok gradle plugin
  • spring cloud starter
  • reactor test
  • test containers
  • r2dbc:h2

[5.5.0] - 2022-11-24

Added

• Added some basic Kafka libraries to the dependencies.gradle file. The goal is to make it easier to start a Kafka application. The build.gradle file is not affected.

Maintenance

• Updated these libraries to their latest versions:
  • ben manes gradle plugin
  • spring cloud starter
  • test containers
  • liquibase core
  • postgres jdbc driver

[5.4.0] - 2022-11-09

Fixed

• Metacode allowed the user to create a resource named 'Public', which is a reserved word in Java. During code generation, the 'Public' resource name gets mapped to a package named 'public' (for example, say, "acme.cinema.public"), which leads to compile-time errors. This is fixed.

Changed

• Use Amazon Corretto as the base Docker image used by the Jib plugin. The default base image, OpenJDK, has been deprecated; using a supported base image makes more sense.
• Pin the snakeyaml version to fix known CVEs. SpringBoot currently pulls in snakeyaml:1.30 which has a known CVE. We've pinned the version to 1.33 (the latest version at this time). This change can be found at the bottom of the gradle/dependencies.gradle file.

Maintenance

• Bumped Reactor Test library to v3.5.0

[5.3.0] - 2022-11-01

Fixed

• Fixed an issue that allowed a stack trace to leak into the response from a Webflux endpoint

[5.2.0] - 2022-10-28

Changed

• The help message now prints the full hierarchy of commands instead of only printing the next depth of commands.

Maintenance

• Update to latest version: Sonarqube and Jib Gradle plugins

[5.1.1] - 2022-10-22

Maintenance

• Update to latest versions of Spring Boot, TestContainers, JUnit Jupiter, and various Gradle plugins

[5.1.0] - 2022-10-07

Fixed

• Fixed issues that prevented Spring Batch applications from running out-of-the-box

Maintenance

• Bump the dependency versions consumed by the generated code

[5.0.0] - 2022-09-17

Added

• Added code generator for Spring Batch applications

Fixed

• Fixed Liquibase changelog templates for Spring WebMVC code

Changed

• The package structure for Spring WebMVC and Spring Webflux applications was changed. Classes concerning persistence have been moved into a package named database. This change simplifies the code found within the endpoint packages and makes the classes concerned with persistence more obvious.

• The generated entity bean classes now contain equals and hashCode methods

• For Spring Boot projects, a place-holder unit test is now generated

Maintenance

• Bump the dependency versions consumed by the generated code

[4.0.0] - 2022-08-24

Added

• Generate an integration test for the Service class under each endpoint
• Generate an integration test for the Repository class under each endpoint
• Improve AbstractIntegrationTest class

Maintenance

• Bumped versions of SpringBoot Gradle plugin, Reactor-test, and Lombok Gradle plugin. These are consumed by the generated code.

Fixed

• Generate a unit test folder for spring-boot projects

[3.0.0] - 2022-07-15

Changed

• When generating a project using the spring-boot template,
  • the SecureRandomSeries class is no longer there
  • the LocalDateConverter class is no longer there
  • an application.properties file is now present
  • the build.gradle dependencies stanza is cleaner
• In Spring WebMvc and Spring WebFlux projects, the RestfulResource interface was renamed to ResourceIdTrait, and the stereotype package was renamed to trait. This is a breaking change if you run create endpoint within a project created with a previous version of Metacode. Specifically, compile errors will occur that have to be fixed manually.
• Renaming of generated classes:
  • The EntityBean class to simply, Entity. For example, the generated code will now have PetEntity.java instead of PetEntityBean.java
  • The BeanToResourceConverter is now EntityToPojoConverter
  • The ResourceToBeanConverter is now PojoToEntityConverter
• In Spring WebFlux and Spring WebMvc projects, the package structure is improved.

Maintenance

• Bump the dependency versions consumed by the generated code

Fixed

• Disallow creating endpoints within a spring-boot project template (endpoints only make sense with spring-webmvc and spring-webflux projects)

[2.0.0] - 2022-07-02

Added

• Add property to hold CORS allowed origins pattern. The property can be set with an environment variable or in the application.yml/properties file.

Changed

• The generated class, Constants.java is renamed to SpringProfiles.java. Within that class, the constants PROFILE_IT and PROFILE_TEST are renamed to INTEGRATION_TEST and TEST, respectively.

Maintenance

• Bump the dependency versions consumed by the generated code

[1.2.1] - 2022-06-27

Fixed

• Added 'User' to the list of disallowed words. Hibernate generates invalid SQL when the table name is 'User'; the SQL error prevents the corresponding database table from being created, which subsequently causes integration tests to fail

[1.2.0] - 2022-06-25

Maintenance

• Bump the dependency versions consumed by the generated code
• Transition a deprecated Spring class to its replacement

[1.1.0] - 2022-06-01

Added

• In build.gradle, only one tag is now assigned to the docker image.

Fixed

• Added property for Coditory integration plugin

Maintenance:

• Bump the dependency versions consumed by the generated code
