# Spring Boot Microservice with Oracle GraalVM in OCI Code Editor

This part shows how you can get started quickly with Oracle GraalVM in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Code Editor
using the Spring Boot 3 microservice example.

Oracle GraalVM is available for use on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) at no additional cost.

## What is Code Editor?

[Code Editor](https://www.oracle.com/devops/code-editor/) enables you to edit and deploy code directly from the Oracle
Cloud Console. You can develop applications, service workflows, and scripts entirely from a browser. This makes it easy
to rapidly prototype cloud solutions, try new services, and accomplish quick coding tasks.

Oracle GraalVM for JDK 17 (with Native Image) is preinstalled in Cloud Shell, so you don’t have to install and configure
a development machine to get started. Code Editor's integration with Cloud Shell gives you direct access to Oracle
GraalVM JDK and Native Image.

## Step 1: Open Terminal in Code Editor

1. [Login to OCI Console and launch Code Editor](https://cloud.oracle.com/?bdcstate=maximized&codeeditor=true).

2. Open a `New Terminal` in Code Editor. Use this Terminal window to run the commands shown in this sample.

## Step 2: Select GraalVM as the Current JDK

1. List the installed JDKs:

    ```shell
    csruntimectl java list
    ```

   The output should be similar to (versions may vary):

    ```shell
      graalvmjdk-17                                                      /usr/lib64/graalvm/graalvm-java17
    * oraclejdk-11                                                                   /usr/java/jdk-11.0.17
      oraclejdk-1.8                                                        /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-1.8-oracle-x64
    ```

2. Select GraalVM as the current JDK:

    ```shell
    csruntimectl java set graalvmjdk-17
    ```

   The output should be similar to:

    ```shell
    The current managed java version is set to graalvmjdk-17.
    ```

## Step 3: [OPTIONAL] Confirm Software Version and Environment Variables

This step is optional - [Check software version and environment variables](../_common/README-check-version-env-vars.md)

## Step 4: Set up Your Project, Build and Run as a JAR

1. Git clone this example.

    ```shell
    git init graalvmee-spring-native-image

    cd graalvmee-spring-native-image

    git remote add origin https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-demos.git

    git config core.sparsecheckout true

    echo "spring-native-image/*">>.git/info/sparse-checkout

    git pull --depth=1 origin master

    cd spring-native-image

    ```

2. Build a JAR file for the example app.

    ```shell
    mvn clean package
    ```

3. Run the app JAR in the background.

    ```shell
    java -jar ./target/benchmark-jibber-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar &
    ```

4. Test the app JAR.

    ```shell
    curl http://localhost:8080/jibber
    ```

   It should generate a random nonsense verse in the style of the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol. The output should be
   similar to:

    ```shell
    ...
    And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, my beamish boy!<br/>
    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And burbled as it came!<br/>
    He left it dead, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.<br/>
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And burbled as it came!<br/>
    Beware the Jabberwock, my beamish boy!<br/>
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.<br/>
    ’Twas brillig, and with its head He went galumphing back.<br/>
    And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, my son!<br/>
    Come to my arms, my son!<br/>
    ’Twas brillig, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!<br/>
    ```

5. Bring the running app JAR in the foreground

    ```shell
    fg
    ```

6. Once the app is running in the foreground, press CTRL+C to stop it.

## Step 5: Build and Run a Native Executable

Now build a native executable for your Spring Boot microservice using GraalVM Native Image.

1. Build the app native executable

    ```shell
    mvn -Pnative native:compile
    ```
   This will create a binary executable `target/benchmark-jibber`.

2. Run the app native executable in the background

    ```shell
    ./target/benchmark-jibber &
    ```

3. Test the app native executable

    ```shell
    curl http://localhost:8080/jibber
    ```
   It should generate a random nonsense verse in the style of the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol. The output should be
   similar to:

    ```shell
    ...
    The Jabberwock, my beamish boy!<br/>
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.<br/>
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And burbled as it came!<br/>
    Beware the Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And the mome raths outgrabe.<br/>
    He left it dead, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!<br/>
    He left it dead, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.<br/>
    ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And burbled as it came!<br/>
    ’Twas brillig, and with its head He went galumphing back.<br/>
    Come to my arms, my son!<br/>
    Beware the Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!<br/>
    ```

4. Bring the running app native executable in the foreground

    ```shell
    fg
    ```

5. Once the app is running in the foreground, press CTRL+C to stop it.
