Web Engineering 2020-2021 / URL Shortener

Build Status

This is the start repository for the project developed in this course.

The project is a Spring Boot application that offers a minimum set of functionalities shared by all subprojects.

  • Short URL creation service: POST / creates a shortened URL from a URL in the request parameter url.
  • Redirection service: GET /{id} redirects the request to a URL associated with the parameter id.
  • Database service: Persistence and retrieval of ShortURL and Click objects.

The application can be run in Linux and macOS as follows:

$ ./gradlew :app:bootRun

or in Windows

$ gradle.bat :app:bootRun

In the case of the qr functionality, 2 instances of QR have to be initialized. To do so:

$ ./gradlew :qr:bootRun -Pport=8179
$ ./gradlew :qr:bootRun -Pport=8180

or in Windows

$ gradle.bat :qr:bootRun -Pport=8179
$ gradle.bat :qr:bootRun -Pport=8180

Ports 8179 and 8190 are the default ones, and the value of the ip is set to "localhost". Should you require changing these ports/ip, change their values in app/src/main/resources/application.properties

Gradle will compile project and then run it Now you have a shortener service running at port 8080. You can test that it works as follows:

$ curl -v -d "url=http://www.unizar.es/" -X POST http://localhost:8080/link
> POST / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.37.1
> Host: localhost:8080
> Accept: */*
> Content-Length: 25
> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
>
* upload completely sent off: 25 out of 25 bytes
< HTTP/1.1 201 Created
< Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
< Location: http://localhost:8080/6bb9db44
< Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
< Transfer-Encoding: chunked
<
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
{"hash":"6bb9db44","target":"http://www.unizar.es/","uri":"http://localhost:8080/6bb9db44",
"sponsor":null,"created":"2019-09-10","owner":"112b6444-0a05-4e48-a13f-27ddf23349e2","mode":307,
"safe":true,"ip":"0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1","country":null}%

Now, we can navigate to the shortened URL.

$ curl -v http://localhost:8080/6bb9db44
> GET /6bb9db44 HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.37.1
> Host: localhost:8080
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect
< Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
< Location: http://www.unizar.es/
< Content-Length: 0
<
