A tiny small show case to demonstrate how to develop a restful api using springmvc.

---

Run this project

1. Clone the source.

git clone https://github.com/loveppears/SpringMVC_RESTful.git

2. Enter source code, run mvn tomcat7:run tomcat maven plugin to start the project.

mvn tomcat7:run

3.Visit http://localhost:8080/Restful/employee to retrieve the data.

Get a specific data.

http://localhost:8080/Restful/employee/1 It will return {"id":1,"name":"Beckett","age":38,"salary":150000.0,"gender":"Male"}

Update an employee.

Using the http verb PUT to update by ID http://localhost:8080/Restful/employee/1

Delete an employee.

Using the http verb DELETE to delete by ID http://localhost:8080/Restful/employee/1

Create an new employee

Using the http ver POST to create a new one, I strongly recommend you to test restful requests on Postman .SO you can set the http header Content-Type = application/jsonto create.

I'll soon update the source with populating those data into database by JPA. To be continued...
