DevOps Assignment: Spring PetClinic CI/CD Pipeline Submitted by: Bar
This repository contains a fully automated CI/CD pipeline for the Spring PetClinic application. The solution automates the process from source code to a publicly available Docker image, ensuring a professional and scalable development workflow.
Pipeline Architecture:
Compile: Resolves all dependencies from Maven Central and compiles the source code.
Test: Runs the unit test suite to ensure application stability.
Package: Builds a runnable JAR file
Artifact to JFrog Uploads the JAR file to a JFrog Artifactory instance (bardpetclinic.jfrog.io) for binary management.
Build Docker Image: Creates a production-ready image based on the Dockerfile.
Push to Docker Hub: Tags and pushes the final image to a public registry.
Deliverables & Access
Jenkinsfile: (Compile -> Test -> Package -> Docker Build).
Dockerfile: Multi-stage/JRE-optimized build for the Java application.
Docker Hub Repository: lokokun290/spring-petclinic-bar
JFrog Artifactory: Integrated as a binary repository for artifact versioning.
Branch All work is done on the 'jenkins-pipeline' branch.
Spring PetClinic CI Pipeline
This project implements a full CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Docker.
Architecture
The pipeline consists of the following stages:
Compile: Resolves dependencies from Maven Central and compiles source code.
Test: Runs Unit tests.
Package: Builds a runnable JAR file (skipping tests for speed).
Build Image: Creates a Docker image containing the application.
How to Run :
option 1 - Run the pre-built image from Docker Hub :
docker run -p 8080:8080 lokokun290/spring-petclinic-bar:latest
option 2 - Build and Run locally :
git clone https://github.com/lokokun1/spring-petclinic.git
cd spring-petclinic
docker build -t spring-petclinic-bar .
docker run -p 8080:8080 spring-petclinic-bar
Access the app: Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser

## Understanding the Spring Petclinic application with a few diagrams
See the presentation here:
[Spring Petclinic Sample Application (legacy slides)](https://speakerdeck.com/michaelisvy/spring-petclinic-sample-application?slide=20)
> **Note:** These slides refer to a legacy, pre–Spring Boot version of Petclinic and may not reflect the current Spring Boot–based implementation.
> For up-to-date information, please refer to this repository and its documentation.
## Run Petclinic locally
Spring Petclinic is a [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/guides/gs/spring-boot) application built using [Maven](https://spring.io/guides/gs/maven/) or [Gradle](https://spring.io/guides/gs/gradle/).
Java 17 or later is required for the build, and the application can run with Java 17 or newer.
You first need to clone the project locally:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git
cd spring-petclinicIf you are using Maven, you can start the application on the command-line as follows:
./mvnw spring-boot:runWith Gradle, the command is as follows:
./gradlew bootRunYou can then access the Petclinic at http://localhost:8080/.
You can, of course, run Petclinic in your favorite IDE. See below for more details.
There is no Dockerfile in this project. You can build a container image (if you have a docker daemon) using the Spring Boot build plugin:
./mvnw spring-boot:build-imageOur issue tracker is available here.
In its default configuration, Petclinic uses an in-memory database (H2) which
gets populated at startup with data. The h2 console is exposed at http://localhost:8080/h2-console,
and it is possible to inspect the content of the database using the jdbc:h2:mem:<uuid> URL. The UUID is printed at startup to the console.
A similar setup is provided for MySQL and PostgreSQL if a persistent database configuration is needed. Note that whenever the database type changes, the app needs to run with a different profile: spring.profiles.active=mysql for MySQL or spring.profiles.active=postgres for PostgreSQL. See the Spring Boot documentation for more detail on how to set the active profile.
You can start MySQL or PostgreSQL locally with whatever installer works for your OS or use docker:
docker run -e MYSQL_USER=petclinic -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=petclinic -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -e MYSQL_DATABASE=petclinic -p 3306:3306 mysql:9.6or
docker run -e POSTGRES_USER=petclinic -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=petclinic -e POSTGRES_DB=petclinic -p 5432:5432 postgres:18.3Further documentation is provided for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Instead of vanilla docker you can also use the provided docker-compose.yml file to start the database containers. Each one has a service named after the Spring profile:
docker compose up mysqlor
docker compose up postgresAt development time we recommend you use the test applications set up as main() methods in PetClinicIntegrationTests (using the default H2 database and also adding Spring Boot Devtools), MySqlTestApplication and PostgresIntegrationTests. These are set up so that you can run the apps in your IDE to get fast feedback and also run the same classes as integration tests against the respective database. The MySql integration tests use Testcontainers to start the database in a Docker container, and the Postgres tests use Docker Compose to do the same thing.
There is a petclinic.css in src/main/resources/static/resources/css. It was generated from the petclinic.scss source, combined with the Bootstrap library. If you make changes to the scss, or upgrade Bootstrap, you will need to re-compile the CSS resources using the Maven profile "css", i.e. ./mvnw package -P css. There is no build profile for Gradle to compile the CSS.
The following items should be installed in your system:
- Java 17 or newer (full JDK, not a JRE)
- Git command line tool
- Your preferred IDE
- Eclipse with the m2e plugin. Note: when m2e is available, there is a m2 icon in
Help -> Aboutdialog. If m2e is not there, follow the installation process here - Spring Tools Suite (STS)
- IntelliJ IDEA
- VS Code
- Eclipse with the m2e plugin. Note: when m2e is available, there is a m2 icon in
-
On the command line run:
git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git
-
Inside Eclipse or STS:
Open the project via
File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven project, then select the root directory of the cloned repo.Then either build on the command line
./mvnw generate-resourcesor use the Eclipse launcher (right-click on project andRun As -> Maven install) to generate the CSS. Run the application's main method by right-clicking on it and choosingRun As -> Java Application. -
Inside IntelliJ IDEA:
In the main menu, choose
File -> Openand select the Petclinic pom.xml. Click on theOpenbutton.-
CSS files are generated from the Maven build. You can build them on the command line
./mvnw generate-resourcesor right-click on thespring-petclinicproject thenMaven -> Generates sources and Update Folders. -
A run configuration named
PetClinicApplicationshould have been created for you if you're using a recent Ultimate version. Otherwise, run the application by right-clicking on thePetClinicApplicationmain class and choosingRun 'PetClinicApplication'.

The Spring Petclinic "main" branch in the spring-projects GitHub org is the "canonical" implementation based on Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. There are quite a few forks in the GitHub org spring-petclinic. If you are interested in using a different technology stack to implement the Pet Clinic, please join the community there.
One of the best parts about working on the Spring Petclinic application is that we have the opportunity to work in direct contact with many Open Source projects. We found bugs/suggested improvements on various topics such as Spring, Spring Data, Bean Validation and even Eclipse! In many cases, they've been fixed/implemented in just a few days. Here is a list of them:
| Name | Issue |
|---|---|
| Spring JDBC: simplify usage of NamedParameterJdbcTemplate | SPR-10256 and SPR-10257 |
| Bean Validation / Hibernate Validator: simplify Maven dependencies and backward compatibility | HV-790 and HV-792 |
| Spring Data: provide more flexibility when working with JPQL queries | DATAJPA-292 |
