In this exercise, you will be working with an existing Spring Boot application that was created using Spring Initialzr. This is an application for viewing a personal library of books, movies and music albums.
When this application is completed, you should be able to load all of these end points in your browser and see the results:
| Url | Description |
|---|---|
| http://localhost:8080/books/html | Shows a list of three books in HTML format |
| http://localhost:8080/books/json | Shows a list of three books in JSON format |
| http://localhost:8080/albums/html | Shows a list of three music albums in HTML format |
| http://localhost:8080/albums/json | Shows a list of three music albums in JSON format |
| http://localhost:8080/movies/html | Shows a list of three movies in HTML format |
| http://localhost:8080/movies/json | Shows a list of three movies in JSON format |
Currently, the book model and controller is completed and working. Your task is to complete this application by implementing the album and movie models and controllers.
You need to create a model class for representing a music album. This class should derive from the LibraryItem class and should implement the following properties (accessible through getters/setters):
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Name of the album (inherited from the LibraryItem base class) |
| artist | Artist who created the album |
| tracks | Year that the album was released |
You can look to the book class as an example.
You will also need to implement a controller that includes a private list of three albums and provides methods for getting the albums over http as an HTML list and as a JSON list.
You can look to the book controller class as an example.
You need to create a model class for representing a movie. This class should derive from the LibraryItem class and should implement the following properties (accessible through getters/setters):
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Name of the movie (inherited from the LibraryItem base class) |
| director | Director of the movie |
| year | Year that the movie was released |
| runtime | Runtime (in minutes) of the movie |
You can look to the book class as an example.
You will also need to implement a controller that includes a private list of three movies and provides methods for getting the movies over http as an HTML list and as a JSON list.
You can look to the book controller class as an example.
You can verify your solution by opening a browser and visiting each endpoint and viewing the results.
