Spring Boot Distributed Project Setup with Maven and IntelliJ IDEA
Project Initialization Using Maven in IntelliJ IDEA
Start by creating a new Maven project named bos2 in IntelliJ IDEA. Once the project is created, remove the default src directory since this will serve as a parenet (aggregator) module for multiple sub-modules.
Configure Parent POM
Update the root pom.xml to define the project as a multi-module build with packaging type pom. This file also sets shared dependencies and versions across modules.

Create Domain Module (crm_domain)
Right-click on the root project and create a new Maven module named crm_domain. This module will hold JPA entities used across services.

Define Entity: Customer
Create a JPA entity representing customer data mapped to the database table T_CUSTOMER.
package top.kylewang.crm.domain;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import java.util.Date;
@Entity
@Table(name = "T_CUSTOMER")
@XmlRootElement(name = "customer")
public class Customer {

", address=" + address + ", mobilePhone=" + mobilePhone +

}
}
Create Service Module: crm_management
Create another submodule called crm_management that depends on crm_domain and provides RESTful APIs.

Application Configuration via application.yml
Add an application.yml file under src/main/resources to configure server settings, database connection, JPA, and CXF endpoints.
server:
port: 9002
context-path: /crm
spring:
datasource:
driver-class-name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/crm
username: root
password: 136735
jpa:
show-sql: true
jackson:
default-property-inclusion: non_null
devtools:
restart:
enabled: true
cxf:
path: /services
servlet.init:
service-list-path: /info
jaxrs:
component-scan: true
Main Application Class and Controller
Create the Sprinng Boot main class with JAX-RS support enabled through component scanning.
package top.kylewang.crm;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
@SpringBootApplication
public class CrmManagementApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(CrmManagementApplication.class, args);
}
@Bean
public JacksonJaxbJsonProvider jacksonJaxbJsonProvider() {
return new JacksonJaxbJsonProvider();
}
}
Add a simple test controller to verify the setup:
package top.kylewang.crm.controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
public class TestController {
@RequestMapping("/hello")
public String sayHello() {
return "hello";
}
}
Run and Test the Application
Launch the CrmManagementApplication class. After startup, navigate to:
You should see the response: hello, confirming the successful deployment of your distributed Spring Boot service.
