A Solid Foundation

DropWizard provides a fantastic base on which you can build REST based services. Big up to @codahale and Yammer for making this available.

Bedrock takes this basis, adds some libraries and a bit more glue, and tries to make it easy to build services using the technologies I commonly use.

Bonus Features

• Spring for wirin'.
• Spring Integration for eipin'.
• Spring Security for securin'.
• [HornetQ](http://www.jboss.org/hornetq JMS client) for messagin'.

Getting Started

Simple Example

Below is a simple example of how you can easily integrate Spring configured beans into the DropWizard startup.

The code below:

• Creates a ClassPathXmlApplicationContext, based on the Spring bean configuration files located in /META-INF/spring/*.xml.
• Registers a Spring PropertySource with the Spring Environment, whose property values are resolved against the DropWizard configuration, prefixed with "config.".
• Registers the DropWizard configuration as a Spring bean named "config".
• Registers any HealthCheck beans, defined in Spring, with the DropWizard environment.
• Registers any @Path annotated beans, defined in Spring, with the DropWizard environment.

    @Override
    public void run(Configuration configuration, Environment environment) {
        SpringServiceConfigurer.forEnvironment(environment)
            .withContext(ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.class, "classpath:/META-INF/spring/*.xml")
            .registerConfigurationPropertySource("config.", configuration)
            .registerConfigurationBean("config", configuration)
            .registerHealthChecks()
            .registerResources();
    }

Testing Dependencies

I'm a strong believer that consistency makes it a lot easier to deal with code. Testing is one of those areas where there tends to be, let's say, less rigorous attention to consistency. Having a good set of testing tools available, and no needing to go looking for a doodad or wotsit, tends to help keep things in line.

• Spring Test
• Spring Integration Test
• AssertJ
• Mockito
