Trivago challenge

Dockerized Java Rest API with Mysql database implemented by Giuseppe Iacono.

Run application

As required, this application should work only with commands docker build and docker run.

Build application

Run database container

Excute the command below to run a container where the public image provided by MySQL will be automatically downloaded if it doesn’t already have been installed:

sudo docker run --name=docker-mysql --env="MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root" --env="MYSQL_PASSWORD=root" --env="MYSQL_DATABASE=trivagodb" mysql

Now you can access docker-mysql container and run MySQL commands:

// access container from your host
sudo docker exec -it docker-mysql bash

// access database
cd /usr/bin
mysql -h root -u root -p

Run REST API container

Run trivago-challenge application linked to database container ran before:

sudo docker run --link docker-mysql:mysql -p 8080:8080 -t springio/trivago-challenge

Best practices

• All dates are managed with LocalDate API because it is more ISO centric than Date and Calendar APIs, providing a lot of utility methods easy to use
