• Security Implementation - Configure Spring Security with OAuth2, JWT, role-based access control, and security best practices
• Dependency Management - Analyze dependencies for vulnerabilities, outdated versions, and upgrade paths
• Performance Optimization - Profile JVM applications, identify bottlenecks, and generate optimization recommendations

Quick Start

Create Spring Boot Project

# Create microservice with PostgreSQL
python scripts/spring_project_scaffolder.py order-service --type microservice --db postgresql

# Create monolith with MySQL and security
python scripts/spring_project_scaffolder.py ecommerce-app --type monolith --db mysql --security oauth2

# Create reactive WebFlux service
python scripts/spring_project_scaffolder.py notification-service --type reactive --db mongodb

Generate JPA Entity

# Generate complete entity stack (entity, repository, service, controller, DTO)
python scripts/entity_generator.py Product --fields "id:Long,name:String,price:BigDecimal,category:String,createdAt:LocalDateTime"

# Generate with relationships
python scripts/entity_generator.py Order --fields "id:Long,customer:Customer,items:List<OrderItem>,total:BigDecimal" --relations "customer:ManyToOne,items:OneToMany"

Analyze Dependencies

# Check for vulnerabilities and updates
python scripts/dependency_analyzer.py pom.xml --check-security

# Generate upgrade report
python scripts/dependency_analyzer.py build.gradle --output report.md

Key Workflows

1. New Spring Boot Microservice

Time: 30-45 minutes

1. Scaffold Project - Generate microservice with Spring Boot 3.x, Docker, and CI/CD

   python scripts/spring_project_scaffolder.py inventory-service --type microservice --db postgresql --security jwt

2. Configure Environment - Set up application.yml with profiles (dev, staging, prod)

   cd inventory-service
   # Edit src/main/resources/application.yml
   # Configure database, security, and service discovery

3. Generate Entities - Create domain model with JPA entities

   python scripts/entity_generator.py Inventory --fields "id:Long,productId:Long,quantity:Integer,warehouse:String"
   python scripts/entity_generator.py InventoryMovement --fields "id:Long,inventory:Inventory,quantity:Integer,type:MovementType,timestamp:LocalDateTime"

4. Implement Business Logic - Add service layer logic and validation rules

5. Add Tests - Generate unit and integration tests

   # Run tests
   ./mvnw test
   ./mvnw verify  # Integration tests

6. Build and Deploy

   ./mvnw clean package -DskipTests
   docker build -t inventory-service:latest .

See spring-boot-best-practices.md for complete setup patterns.

2. REST API Development

Time: 20-30 minutes per endpoint group

1. Design API Contract - Define endpoints following REST conventions

   python scripts/api_endpoint_generator.py products --methods GET,POST,PUT,DELETE --paginated

2. Implement Validation - Add Jakarta validation annotations and custom validators

3. Configure Error Handling - Set up global exception handler with problem details (RFC 7807)

4. Add OpenAPI Documentation - Configure SpringDoc for automatic API docs

5. Test Endpoints - Generate integration tests with MockMvc or WebTestClient

See spring-boot-best-practices.md for API design patterns.

3. JPA/Hibernate Optimization

Time: 1-2 hours for complex data models

1. Analyze Current Queries - Profile repository methods for N+1 problems

   python scripts/performance_profiler.py --analyze-queries src/

2. Optimize Fetch Strategies - Configure lazy/eager loading appropriately

3. Add Query Hints - Implement entity graphs and query hints for complex queries

4. Configure Caching - Set up Hibernate second-level cache with Hazelcast or Redis

5. Implement Pagination - Use Spring Data's Slice or Page for large datasets

See jpa-hibernate-guide.md for optimization patterns.

4. Spring Security Implementation

Time: 1-2 hours

1. Generate Security Config - Create security configuration for chosen auth method

   python scripts/security_config_generator.py --type jwt --roles ADMIN,USER,MANAGER

2. Configure OAuth2/JWT - Set up token generation, validation, and refresh

3. Implement RBAC - Add role-based access control to endpoints

4. Add Method Security - Configure @PreAuthorize and @PostAuthorize annotations

5. Test Security - Generate security integration tests

See spring-security-reference.md for security patterns.
