This repository shows how to use Cosmos DB with the Jakarta NoSQL specification. The repository hosts the demo for this talk. We will be using the MongoDB API for Cosmos DB. You could also use the Cassandra API for Cosmos DB with Jakarta NoSQL.
- Install JDK 8 (we used Azul Zulu Java 8 LTS).
- Install the Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers from here.
- You will need a GitHub account.
- You will need an Azure subscription. If you don't have one, you can get one for free for one year here.
- Download this repository somewhere in your file system (easiest way might be to download as a zip and extract).
We first need to set up the database on Azure.
- Go to the Azure portal.
- Select 'Create a resource'. In the search box, enter and select 'Azure Cosmos DB'. Hit create.
- Specify the account name to be azure-game-store-db-
<your suffix>(the suffix could be your first name such as "reza"). Create a new resource group named azure-game-store-group-<your suffix>(the suffix could be your first name such as "reza"). Specify the API to be MongoDB. Hit 'Create'. It will take a moment for the database to deploy and be ready for use.
Once you are done exploring the demo, you should delete the azure-game-store-group-<your suffix> resource group. You can do this by going to the portal, going to resource groups, finding and clicking on azure-game-store-group-<your suffix> and hitting delete. This is especially important if you are not using a free subscription!
The next step is to get the application up and running. Follow the steps below to do so.
- Start Eclipse.
- Get the application into the IDE. In order to do that, go to File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects. Then browse to where you have this repository code in your file system and select the root directory. Accept the rest of the defaults and finish.
- Once the application loads, you should do a full Maven build by going to Right click the application -> Run As -> Maven install.
