This backend version of the Spring Petclinic application only provides a REST API. There is no UI. The spring-petclinic-angular2 project is a front-end application witch consumes the REST API.
git clone https://github.com/spring-petclinic/spring-petclinic-rest.git
cd spring-petclinic
./mvnw spring-boot:run
You can then access petclinic here: http://localhost:9966/petclinic/
http://localhost:9966/petclinic/swagger-ui.html

In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (HSQLDB) which gets populated at startup with data. A similar setups is provided for MySql and PostgreSQL in case a persistent database configuration is needed. To run petclinic locally using persistent database, it is needed to change profile defined in application.properties file.
For MySQL database, it is needed to change param "hsqldb" to "mysql" in string
spring.profiles.active=hsqldb,spring-data-jpa
defined in application.properties file.
Before do this, would be good to check properties defined in application-mysql.properties file.
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/petclinic?useUnicode=true
spring.datasource.driverClassName = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=petclinic
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.database=MYSQL
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=none
You may also start a MySql database with docker:
docker run --name mysql-petclinic -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=petclinic -e MYSQL_DATABASE=petclinic -p 3306:3306 mysql:5.7.8
For PostgeSQL database, it is needed to change param "hsqldb" to "postgresql" in string
spring.profiles.active=hsqldb,spring-data-jpa
defined in applcation.properties file.
Before do this, would be good to check properties defined in application-postgresql.properties file.
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/petclinic
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.postgresql.Driver
spring.datasource.username=postgres
spring.datasource.password=petclinic
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
spring.jpa.database=POSTGRESQL
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=none
You may also start a Postgres database with docker:
docker run --name postgres-petclinic -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=petclinic -e POSTGRES_DB=petclinic -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:9.6.0
The following items should be installed in your system:
- Maven 3 (http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/installation.html)
- git command line tool (https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git)
- Eclipse with the m2e plugin (m2e is installed by default when using the STS (http://www.springsource.org/sts) distribution of Eclipse)
Note: when m2e is available, there is an m2 icon in Help -> About dialog. If m2e is not there, just follow the install process here: http://eclipse.org/m2e/download/
- In the command line
git clone https://github.com/spring-petclinic/spring-petclinic-rest.git

One of the best parts about working on the Spring Petclinic application is that we have the opportunity to work in direct contact with many Open Source projects. We found some bugs/suggested improvements on various topics such as Spring, Spring Data, Bean Validation and even Eclipse! In many cases, they've been fixed/implemented in just a few days. Here is a list of them:
| Name | Issue |
|---|---|
| Spring JDBC: simplify usage of NamedParameterJdbcTemplate | SPR-10256 and SPR-10257 |
| Bean Validation / Hibernate Validator: simplify Maven dependencies and backward compatibility | HV-790 and HV-792 |
| Spring Data: provide more flexibility when working with JPQL queries | DATAJPA-292 |
| Dandelion: improves the DandelionFilter for Jetty support | 113 |
