Your second Quarkus application
This tutorial shows you how to create an application which writes to and reads from a database. You will use Dev Services, so you will not actually download, configure, or even start the database yourself. You will also use Panache, a layer on top of Hibernate ORM, to make reading and writing data easier.
This guide helps you:
-
Read and write objects to a database
-
Develop and test against services with zero configuration
先决条件
完成这个指南,你需要:
-
大概30 minutes
-
编辑器
-
JDK 17+ installed with
JAVA_HOME
configured appropriately -
Apache Maven 3.9.8
-
A working container runtime (Docker or Podman)
-
如果你愿意的话,还可以选择使用Quarkus CLI
This tutorial builds on what you learned writing your first Quarkus application. You will not need the code from that application, but make sure you understand the concepts.
解决方案
We recommend that you follow the instructions from [Bootstrapping the project] onwards to create the application step by step.
然而,你可以直接进入完成的例子。
下载一个 存档 或克隆git仓库:
git clone https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts.git
The solution is located in the getting-started-dev-services
directory.
1. Outline steps
-
Bootstrap the application
-
Update the application to read user input
-
Create a Panache Entity
-
Read and write the entity
-
Configure an external database using a profile
2. Setting up an interactive application
2.1. 创建项目
创建一个新的Quarkus项目最简单的方法是打开终端并运行以下命令:
For Windows users:
-
If using cmd, (don’t use backward slash
\
and put everything on the same line) -
If using Powershell, wrap
-D
parameters in double quotes e.g."-DprojectArtifactId=getting-started-dev-services"
For an explanation of what’s in the generated application, see the First application guide.
2.2. 运行应用程序
Launch the application in dev mode
quarkus dev
./mvnw quarkus:dev
./gradlew --console=plain quarkusDev
Once the application is up, visit http://localhost:8080/hello. It should show a "Hello from Quarkus REST" message.
2.3. Accepting user input
Let’s make the application a bit more interactive.
Open the project in your IDE and navigate to src/main/java/org/acme/GreetingResource.java
Add a query param in the hello
method.
(The org.jboss.resteasy.reactive.RestQuery
annotation is like the Jakarta REST @QueryParam
annotation, except you don’t need to duplicate the parameter name.)
public String hello(@RestQuery String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
You should see a personalised message: Hello Bloom
.
2.4. Fixing the tests
In your Quarkus terminal, type 'r' to run the tests. You should see that your application changes broke the tests!
To fix the tests, open src/test/java/org/acme/GreetingResourceTest.java
and replace
.body(is("Hello from Quarkus REST"));
with
.body(containsString("Hello"));
This still validates the HTTP endpoint, but it’s more flexible about the expected output. You should see in your terminal that the tests are now passing.
3. Adding persistence
3.1. Creating a Panache Entity
-
To add the persistence libraries, run
quarkus extension add hibernate-orm-panache jdbc-postgresql
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions='hibernate-orm-panache jdbc-postgresql'
./gradlew addExtension --extensions='hibernate-orm-panache jdbc-postgresql'
The application will record the names of people it greets. Define an Entity
by creating a Greeting.java
class. Add the following content:
import io.quarkus.hibernate.orm.panache.PanacheEntity;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
@Entity
public class Greeting extends PanacheEntity {
public String name;
}
The entity makes use of Panache, a layer on top of Hibernate ORM.
Extending PanacheEntity
brings in a range of methods for reading, writing, and finding data.
Because all the data access methods are on the Greeting
entity, rather than on a separate data access class,
this is an example of the active record pattern.
The Greeting
table will have one column, a field called name
.
3.2. Writing data
To use the new entity, update the hello
method to start writing some data.
Change the method to the following:
@GET
@Transactional
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String hello(@QueryParam("name") String name) {
Greeting greeting = new Greeting();
greeting.name = name;
greeting.persist();
return "Hello " + name;
}
Don’t forget the @Transactional
annotation, which ensures writes are wrapped
in a transaction.
GETs should not change application state.
Generally, you shouldn’t do state updates in a GET REST method, but here it makes
trying things out simpler. Let’s assume what’s being written is a logging "side effect",
rather than a meaningful state changes!
|
Try out the updated endpoint by visiting http://localhost:8080/hello?name=Bloom. You should see a "Hello Bloom" message.
3.3. Reading data
Although the new persistence code seems to be working without errors, how do you know anything is being written to the database?
Add a second REST method to GreetingResource
.
@GET
@Path("names")
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String names() {
List<Greeting> greetings = Greeting.listAll();
String names = greetings.stream().map(g-> g.name)
.collect(Collectors.joining (", "));
return "I've said hello to " + names;
}
To try it out, visit http://localhost:8080/hello?name=Bloom, and then http://localhost:8080/hello/names.
You should see the following message: "I’ve said hello to Bloom".
a container runtime is required.
Don’t forget that you need to have a container runtime available, or you will start seeing failures in the Quarkus logs at this point. |
4. Dev services
Reading and writing to the database seems to be working well, but that’s a bit unexpected. Where did a PostgreSQL database come from? You didn’t set anything up.
The database is being managed using Dev Services.
Dev Services take care of stopping and starting services needed by your application.
Because you
included the jdbc-postgresql
dependency, the database is a containerised PostgreSQL database.
If you’d added jdbc-mysql
instead, you would have gotten a containerised MySQL database.
If you like, use your container tool to see what containers are running.
For example, if you’re using Docker, run docker ps
, and for podman, run podman ps
.
You should see something like the following:
ff88dcedd899 docker.io/library/postgres:14 postgres -c fsync... 20 minutes ago Up 20 minutes 0.0.0.0:34789->5432/tcp nostalgic_bassi
Stop Quarkus and run docker ps
again.
You should see nothing running (it may take a few moments for containers to shut down).
Quarkus will automatically stop the container when your application stops.
4.1. Initialising services
If you play with your code some more, you may notice that sometimes, after making an application change, http://localhost:8080/hello/names doesn’t list any names.
What’s going on? By default, in dev mode, with a Dev Services database,
Quarkus configures Hibernate ORM database generation to be drop-and-create
.
See the Hibernate configuration reference for more details.
If a code change triggers an application restart, the database tables
will be dropped (deleted) and then re-created.
This is convenient, but what if you’d prefer the database to always have content?
That would make testing easier.
If you provide an import.sql
file, Quarkus will use that to initialise
the database on each start.
-
Make a
src/main/resources/import.sql
file in your project -
Add the following SQL statements:
INSERT INTO Greeting(id, name)
VALUES (nextval('Greeting_SEQ'), 'Alice');
INSERT INTO Greeting(id, name)
VALUES (nextval('Greeting_SEQ'), 'Bob');
Now, hit s
in your dev mode session, to force a full restart. Then visit http://localhost:8080/hello/names.
You’ll see that Alice and Bob are always included in the list of names.
5. Controlling Dev Services
5.1. Using an external database instead
What if you’d rather use an external database that you manage yourself?
Add the following to src/main/resources/application.properties
:
# configure your datasource
quarkus.datasource.db-kind = postgresql
quarkus.datasource.username = leopold
quarkus.datasource.password = bloom
quarkus.datasource.jdbc.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydatabase
This tells Quarkus that you don’t want it to start a Dev Service, because you have your own database. You don’t need to worry about starting the database, because you’re just seeing how to change the configuration.
Visit http://localhost:8080/hello/names. Instead of a list of names, you’ll get a red error screen. In the terminal where Quarkus is running. you’ll see the following stack error message:
2023-06-28 19:18:22,880 ERROR [io.qua.ver.htt.run.QuarkusErrorHandler] (executor-thread-1) HTTP Request to /hello?name=fred failed, error id: 4f9b5ce6-3b08-41c5-af36-24eee4d1dd2b-2: org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: Unable to acquire JDBC Connection [Connection to localhost:5432 refused. Check that the hostname and port are correct and that the postmaster is accepting TCP/IP connections.] [n/a] at org.hibernate.exception.internal.SQLStateConversionDelegate.convert(SQLStateConversionDelegate.java:98) at org.hibernate.exception.internal.StandardSQLExceptionConverter.convert(StandardSQLExceptionConverter.java:56) ...
This makes sense; you’ve disabled the database Dev Service, but you haven’t started your own database.
5.2. Using profiles
Unless you want to, don’t worry about setting up an external database to resolve the connection error. Instead, you will go back to using the Dev Service. It made life easy!
But what about production? You won’t want to use Dev Services in production. In fact, Quarkus only starts Dev Services in dev and test modes.
Wouldn’t it be nice to configure an external database, but have it only used in production, so you could still use Dev Services the rest of the time?
Add a %prod.
prefix to the database configuration. This means the configuration
only applies to the prod profile
The configuration should look like this:
# configure your datasource
%prod.quarkus.datasource.db-kind = postgresql
%prod.quarkus.datasource.username = leopold
%prod.quarkus.datasource.password = bloom
%prod.quarkus.datasource.jdbc.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydatabase
Now the external database will be used in prod mode, and Dev Services will be used in dev and test modes.
Check http://localhost:8080/hello/names. It should be working again, because the Dev Services have been re-enabled. Notice that there was no need to restart Quarkus for any of these changes.
