If you want build a spring project you have to download servlet container(tomcat, jetty, glassfish etc.) write some spring config file. But now you can throw them away! In this tutorial I will show you how to build spring project in one minute with "spring boot".

1. create a maven project add dependencies below in your pom.xml file.

       <dependency>
         <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
         <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
         <version>1.3.2.RELEASE</version>
       </dependency>
   

2. create a controller class.

       @Controller
       @EnableAutoConfiguration
       public class SimpleController {
           @RequestMapping(value = "/hello", method = RequestMethod.GET)
           @ResponseBody
           public String hello() {
               return "Hello Spring Boot";
           }
   
           public static void main(String[] args) {
               SpringApplication.run(SimpleController.class, args);
           }
       }

3. run main method in this controller then access this link http://localhost:8080/hello/ , you can see like below.

   Hello Spring Boot
   
   

   As you see "spring boot" help us build restful project quickly. There is no servlet container, no configuration files! If you want just test something or build a sample project you can use "spring boot". Easy and quick.
