jhipster/generator-jhipster

JHipster is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures.

generator-jhipster's Issues

Roles table should be optional, i.e. if the application uses LDAP for authentication

Evaluate the use of Docker.io

Creating a Docker file would allow us to:

• Have a clean, reproductible dev and build system (no more Node/NPM versions issues)
• Test easily HazelCast clusters by starting easily several nodes cc @jmirc

Evaluate Swagger

https://developers.helloreverb.com/swagger/

PROs:

• Documenting the APIs is important
• Really cool looking

CONs:

• Seems to require quite a number of new libraries, and we want JHipster to remain lean, and low in memory usage

Work on the frontend-maven-plugin

Usage of the front-maven-plugin was coded by @eirslett see #40

However it causes some trouble when using a corporate firewall, as we can't download node/npm directly

I need to take a closer look at all this.

grunt stop maven to complete the task

Hi guys,

First of all, great generator, I was thinking to do something similar but your it is really awesome.

I'm trying to package the app using "prod" profile, however grunt is stopping maven to complete the task. If I run "grunt install" alone, it works, but from maven the last output is as follow (the task does not finish, it seems to be waiting for something):

I found this issue at trecloux/yeoman-maven-plugin#5, but it doesn't say much more.

Done, without errors.

Build jhipster using travis-ci.org

Do a "grunt build" before generating a WAR file

All nodejs server et jetty server work fine. But i wondering how to have all files generated
by "grunt build" in the WAR when doing a "mvn package".

I see the yeoman-maven-plugin to launch yo command. May be it's possible to register a new task to generate minify, uglify, ... file and to inject it in the webapp ?

add jodatime / JSR 310 hibernate support

NullPointer in MailConfiguration

In MailConfiguration, the code above not working
line 26:
if (!env.getProperty("mail.port").equals("")) {

need to be replace by :
if (env.getProperty("mail.port")!= null && !env.getProperty("mail.port").equals("")) {

Using Google Analytics to track user behaviour

The angulartics (http://luisfarzati.github.io/angulartics) is an AngularJS extension to track customer behavior in a efficient way for different tracking tools.

It can track page views, events, Inferred values. Simple and powerful.

What do you think?

Migrate to C3P0

Tomcat-jdbc causes classloader issues when the WAR is deployed on Tomcat, for obvious reasons (Tomcat uses its own tomcat-jdbc lib, which can't see the JDBC driver in the WEB-INF/lib directory)...
This is annoying, as we want to be able to use Tomcat (see issue #33 also)

So let's switch to C3P0 : https://github.com/swaldman/c3p0

improve administration with profile / permission

Would be nice to have an administration panel where we can create "Profiles" and map a profile with a list of roles and permissions (or similar)

Role would be Administrator, User
A permission would be CAN_EDIT_SOMETHING, CAN_ADD_SOMETHING etc.

A user could have N Profile

If think it's quite a common feature, but it should be optionnal (LDAP or other)

Authentication is not propagated when remember me is not checked

If the customer unchecked the remember me checkbox, the user can log-in but if the page is refreshed the customer is logged-out.

The session doesn't keep the security cookie created by Spring Security because of the rest architecture.

The solution is to create a token cookie on the front-end side after a successful authentication and to create a filter that will initialize spring security with the right user if the cookie is found.

Support MySQL in dev and prod modes

Create a single executable WAR file of the application

As described here:

https://github.com/upgradingdave/javajing/tree/master/executable-wars

Make Grunt proxy work correctly

So "grunt server" can also access the Java back-end.

See http://blog.tartachuc.org/2013/06/11/tomcat-maven-angular-grunt-et-yeoman-sont-dans-un-bateau/

Dist folder management

Hi Julien,

First of all, thanks for the new release, it works really smoothly.

Now, when I package the app, the dist folder is created under /src/main/webapp. This creates the following side effects:
. After packaging the app, I need to manually remove the folder from my source code.
. The generated war has all the static content in the root folder + the optimised (minimised, contatenated, etc) files under /dist folder. This increases the size of the war and duplicate the files.
. It would be good if StaticResourcesProductionFilter point to a different folder name like /static.

Thanks,
Jorge

Write a tutorial to explain how to build a full app

Something like the Spring Boot tutorial:

http://spring.io/guides/gs/actuator-service/

Unit Test failed - @PreDestroy is not called and Hazelcast is not shutdown

HazelCast starting twice

When you select HazelCast for Hibernate caching AND HTTP session clustering, HazelCast gets started twice.
It even does a cluster between those two instances.
cc @jmirc

Build jhipster usin travis-ci.org

Move to Spring 4.0

Now that Spring 4.0 is final, remove the option to use Spring 3.2 and have Spring 4.0 only.

improve spring security disconnection

We should redirect the user to the authentification page or the index page as soon as we get a 401 response. I don't know how it can be done using angular, maybe overriding the $resource service ?
Any idea ?

Generate stress tests

Probably with JMeter, as it's the most widely used tool, and it's easy to install.

See also Gatling ( https://github.com/excilys/gatling ) but it's more complex to install, and it's done in Scala.

Make Grunt work correctly

We want to do "grunt server" and have Grunt serve HTML files, with Sass compilation.

Basic usage, only with static files:
Use the Grunt proxy so accessing http://localhost:9000 allows to use the "index.html" file served by Grunt, which can use the REST backend (served by "mvn jetty:run" on localhost:8080)

Advanced usage with Thymeleaf:
Same idea as above, you can access Thymeleaf templates with "grunt server", as a static file. But you can also see the dynamic version if you go to localhost:8080 (without any livereload, of course).

Implement interface in the service layer

Is it possible to create interfaces for each @service class. I understand that Spring will proxy the class anyway, however if the service has an interface, it will use dynamic proxy which seems to be better than CGLIB. Although, I suppose you understand what I'm talking about, the link below provide more details.

http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.0.0.M3/reference/html/ch08s06.html

From my point of view, this should be categorised as an enhancement.

Thanks,
Jorge

Add sub-generators

Like in this example from generator-angular:

https://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular#controller

However, the idea with JHipster would be to create an entity, for exemple "user":

yo jhipster:entity user

This would create:

• The JPA entity and repository
• The Spring MVC REST controller (CRUD)
• The AngularJS service and controllers
• The HTML view

"grunt build" does not work correctly

Doing a "grunt build" does not work as expected:

• The generated files in "dist" do no work: when opening dist/index.html there is an Angular JS error "Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: a". It looks like one of the JS was not minified correctly
• Those files are not places in the generated WAR file (see also issue #28 ) -> at the moment this is a good thing, because of the previous error, but in the end those files should be in the WAR file, instead of the development files

add internationalization support

with country selection

Generate the AngularJS front-end

Update to Hibernate 4.2.8

LazyInitializationException on REST services

Hi All,

Checking the code, I realised that REST services can throw LazyInitializationException when the code is trying to access a relationship. The transaction has been completed but the code is accessing a lazy relationship which requires a transaction.

To replicate the issue, in web.rest.AccountResource.getAccount(HttpServletResponse) I added the following line:

log.debug("User authorities size: " + user.getAuthorities().size());

Then, I logged in the app and in the log I saw the following exception:

[ERROR] ar.com.tunuyan.conf.DispatcherServletConfiguration - An error has occured: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: ar.com.tunuyan.domain.User.authorities, could not initialize proxy - no Session
org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: ar.com.tunuyan.domain.User.authorities, could not initialize proxy - no Session

Add a GZip filter compatible with EHCache and Hazelcast

The GZip filter is part of the ehcache llibrary. So a new GZip filter needs to be created to support EHCache and Hazelcast.

Evaluate HazelCast instead of Ehcache

Evaluate HazelCast as a replacement for Ehcache:

https://github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast/

PROs:

• Ehcache isn't actively developped anymore (as told by the Software AG sales rep)
• Looks easier to have a distributed cache
• Only way to have HTTP session clustering, without a dependancy on the app server
• Cluster affinity & distributed execution queue -> does it work well with the @scheduled annotations from Spring?

CONs:

• Last time I tried to use it, it didn't work with Hibernate 4 (not implemented yet!)
• Far less popular than Ehcache, and one of our aims is to have a project using "commonly used" technologies

Maybe this could be a new question in the Yeoman script? For instance:

• Do you want to use a cache?

1. No
2. Yes, with ehcache (simple Hibernate 2nd level cache, no clustering)
3. Yes, with HazelCast (distributed Hibernate 2nd level cache and distributed HTTP sessions)

add browser-sync plugin for css reload

Have you any feedback about brwoser-sync ?
Looks very nice, it's supposed to inject style changes without page-reload.
https://github.com/shakyShane/grunt-browser-sync

I'll give it a try and let you know

Update to Spring 4.0.RC2

Generate JUnit tests

Aim is 100% coverage

add email support

Woud be nice to have email support out of the box :

• templating
• asynch service to send email to/from an email/user
• add email example for "password lost"

Should we use Thymeleaf here ?

Evaluate Yeoman Configstore

Evaluate the use of Yeoman Configstore https://github.com/yeoman/configstore

This will be useful for #26 -> it will allow to store the configuration options (package name, etc...) so sub-generators can re-use the configuration of the main generator

http-auth-interceptor does not work correctly

Sorry Jérôme, but I've spent the whole evening trying to make http-auth-interceptor work and I have two issues:

• When I run with the "prod" profile, the JavaScript compression corrupts the file. It's probably the same thing as the other AngularJS files, but I can't find where the problem is -> just try a "mvn jetty:run -Pprod" and you'll see the issue
• When the user enters a wrong login, we do not have an error message anymore, as the "error" callback is not used anymore

I'm keeping it at the moment, but this can't go to the next release: can you have a look at it? Otherwise I'll disable it when I do the next release, and then I'll try to put it back.

Suppress Jetty and use Tomcat7 in all examples

As discussed in #64 let's remove all references to Jetty in favor of Tomcat7:

• In the Maven pom.xml
• In the documentation

The generated application should still work with Jetty, as it should be a standard WAR file. It's just to have a more consistant documentation and overall experience.

Generate the Spring Security login/logout pages

Check Sonar reports

Goal is 0% violation with the default Sonar rules, 100% coverage, and 0 dependancy tangle

Add bootstrap angular-ui

Woud be nice to have http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ included by default

grunt compass automatic ?

Is there a way to automatically run "grunt compass" as soon as one of the .scss file change ?

Add Thymeleaf support
