What it is

Spring Boot Demo is a comprehensive learning project containing 55+ completed integration examples demonstrating Spring Boot best practices across workflow automation, caching, messaging, security, and data persistence. It serves as a reference implementation for integrating 40+ enterprise technologies (Activiti, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Dubbo) into Spring Boot applications with working code examples for each. Monorepo structure with 66 independent Maven modules (demo-activiti, demo-actuator, demo-admin, etc.), each self-contained under com.xkcoding package hierarchy with standardized layout: src/main/java (application code), src/main/resources (configuration),…

Start here

Open these first:

• demo-activiti/src/main/java/com/xkcoding/activiti/SpringBootDemoActivitiApplication.java — Entry point for the Activiti workflow engine integration demo; all contributors must understand the application bootstrap…
• demo-activiti/src/main/resources/application.yml — Core configuration file defining Activiti datasource, JPA, and workflow engine properties that affect all module…
• demo-activiti/pom.xml — Dependency manifest for Activiti, Spring Boot, and security libraries; critical for understanding what versions and…
• demo-activiti/src/main/java/com/xkcoding/activiti/config/SecurityConfiguration.java — Security and authentication configuration for the Activiti demo; essential for understanding user/role handling in workflow…
• demo-activiti/src/main/java/com/xkcoding/activiti/util/SecurityUtil.java — Utility class for extracting security context and user information; used throughout the codebase for process task assignment.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/xkcoding/spring-boot-demo.git && cd spring-boot-demo && mvn clean install. Then enter any demo module (e.g., cd demo-activiti && mvn spring-boot:run) to start that specific example.

Daily commands:

cd <specific-demo-module> && mvn spring-boot:run. For example: cd demo-actuator && mvn spring-boot:run will start the actuator monitoring demo on default Spring Boot port (typically 8080 with endpoints at /actuator). In…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 87% of recent commits
• Each demo module requires its own external service/database setup (MySQL for Activiti, Redis for caching demos, RabbitMQ for messaging). application.yml files hardcode localhost connection strings—running multiple…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
