In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Maven to manage a Multi-module project containing four modules:

  1. Password module – Interface only.
  2. Password md5 module – Password module implementation, MD5 password hashing.
  3. Password sha module – Password module implementation, SHA password hashing.
  4. Web module – A simple MVC web app to hash an input with either MD5 or SHA algorithm.

The module dependency.

$ password 

$ password <-- password-md5

$ password <-- password-sha

$ web <-- (password-md5 | password-sha) <-- password

Some commands to a build a multi-module project, for examples :

$ mvn -pl password compile	# compile password module only	

$ mvn -pl password-sha compile	# compile password-sha module, also dependency - password

$ mvn -pl web compile		# compile web module only	

$ mvn -am -pl web compile	# compile web module, also dependency - password-sha or password-md5, password

$ mvn -pl web jetty:run 	# run web module with Jetty

$ mvn compile 			# compile everything

Technologies used :

  1. Maven 3.5.3
  2. JDK 8
  3. Spring 5.1.0.RELEASE
  4. thymeleaf 3.0.10.RELEASE

1. Directory Structure

In a multi-module project layout, a parent project contains a parent pom.xml and each sub modules (sub projects) also containing own pom.xml

The command for initializing project:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.favtuts.multi -DartifactId=java-multi-modules -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

2. Maven POM

Let review the Maven multi-module POM files.

2.1 A Parent POM file, packaging is pom.

pom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

7.4 Spring stuff, integrate thymeleaf and configuration.

SpringConfig.java

package com.favtuts.web.config;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.thymeleaf.spring5.SpringTemplateEngine;
import org.thymeleaf.spring5.templateresolver.SpringResourceTemplateResolver;
import org.thymeleaf.spring5.view.ThymeleafViewResolver;
import org.thymeleaf.templatemode.TemplateMode;

@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
@ComponentScan({"com.favtuts"})
public class SpringConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {

    @Autowired
    private ApplicationContext applicationContext;

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
                .addResourceLocations("/resources/");
    }

    @Bean
    public SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver() {
        SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver = new SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
        templateResolver.setApplicationContext(this.applicationContext);
        templateResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
        templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
        templateResolver.setTemplateMode(TemplateMode.HTML);
        templateResolver.setCacheable(true);
        return templateResolver;
    }

    @Bean
    public SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine() {
        SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
        templateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver());
        templateEngine.setEnableSpringELCompiler(true);
        return templateEngine;
    }

    @Bean
    public ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver() {
        ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
        viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
        return viewResolver;
    }

}

WebInitializer.java

package com.favtuts.web;

import com.favtuts.web.config.SpringConfig;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer;

public class WebInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class[]{SpringConfig.class};
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[]{"/"};
    }

}

WelcomeController.java

package com.favtuts.web.controller;

import com.favtuts.password.PasswordService;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;

@Controller
public class WelcomeController {

    private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(WelcomeController.class);

    @Autowired
    private PasswordService passwordService;

    @GetMapping("/")
    public String welcome(@RequestParam(name = "query",
            required = false, defaultValue = "123456") String query, Model model) {

        logger.debug("Welcome to tuts.heomi.net... Query : {}", query);

        model.addAttribute("query", query);
        model.addAttribute("hash", passwordService.hash(query));
        model.addAttribute("algorithm", passwordService.algorithm());

        return "index";
    }

}

7.5 Unit Test for Spring MVC.

TestWelcome.java

package com.favtuts.web;

import com.favtuts.web.config.SpringConfig;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit.jupiter.web.SpringJUnitWebConfig;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.MockMvcBuilders;
import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;

import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders.get;
import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.*;

@SpringJUnitWebConfig(SpringConfig.class)
@DisplayName("Test Spring MVC default view")
public class TestWelcome {

    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Autowired
    private WebApplicationContext webAppContext;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setup() {
        mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(webAppContext).build();
    }

    @Test
    public void testDefault() throws Exception {

        this.mockMvc.perform(
                get("/"))
                .andExpect(status().isOk())
                .andExpect(view().name("index"))
                .andExpect(model().attribute("query", "123456"));
        //.andExpect(model().attribute("sha256", "8d969eef6ecad3c29a3a629280e686cf0c3f5d5a86aff3ca12020c923adc6c92"))
        //.andExpect(model().attribute("md5", "e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e"));

    }

}

7.6 Thymeleaf view.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<body>
<h1 th:text="'Input : ' + ${query}"/>
<h1 th:text="'Algorithm : ' + ${algorithm}"/>
<h3 th:text="${hash}" />
</body>
</html>

Done.

8. Demo

8.1 In parent project, uses the standard mvn compile to compile all the modules, Maven will decide the build order.

Terminal

$ mvn compile 

[INFO] Reactor Summary:
[INFO]
[INFO] java-multi-modules 1.0 ............................. SUCCESS [  0.007 s]
[INFO] password ........................................... SUCCESS [  0.539 s]

8.2 Install all the modules into the local repository.

Terminal

$ mvn install

8.3 Compiles the web module only (Maven will find the password module dependency from the local repository, that’s why we need the mvn install

Terminal

$ mvn -pl web compile

8.4 Alternatively, add -am to compile the web module and also its dependency modules (password-sha and password).

Terminal

$ mvn -am -pl web compile

8.5 Test the web module with mvn -pl web jetty:run command.

Terminal

$ mvn install

$ mvn -pl web jetty:run
