Spring Boot REST API

Update

See here for an improved version, meaning production ready, of this project!

A basic example of a Spring Boot REST API is available in the JODConverter Samples repository; the spring-boot-rest module.

This is a sample application of a REST API that uses the spring boot integration module, jodconverter-spring-boot-starter, with the local module jodconverter-local-lo library of the JODConverter project, which means the jodconverter-local built with the LibreOffice dependencies.

The goal was to emulate a Collabora Online server that would support the customization of custom (known) load/store properties.

Note

The exposed REST API interface imitates the Collabora Online REST interface (/lool), you could think of this example as a Collabora Online server.

Running the project using Gradle

First, build the project:

gradlew :samples:spring-boot-rest:build

Then, run:

gradlew :samples:spring-boot-rest:bootRun

If you experience a connection issue on Windows, you may have to set a system property pointing to a templateProfileDir where OpenGL is disabled by default. Read this to know how to disable OpenGL. Then, run:

gradlew :samples:spring-boot-rest:bootRun -Dorg.jodconverter.local.manager.templateProfileDir=<path to your directory>

Once started, use your favorite browser and visit this page:
