在另一个非Spring项目中重用Spring-boot子模块

Question

I'm working on a multi module spring-boot project to build a REST API. Here is my project structure:

• Parent project (packaging is pom)
  • core module (@SpringBootApplication + handle path like / or /status)
  • restControllerA module (Handle path like /routeA/*)
  • restControllerB module (Handle path like /routeB/*)

Everything is working in this project :)

In another non Spring project I would like to reuse a service of restControllerB. This service return the result of the request body validation. First I try to add the restControllerB.jar as a dependency to this new project... But this jar does not contain its depedencies (who are in the fatJAR "core.jar"). When I run the project, I get a lot of ClassNotFoundException.

How can I manage to reuse this service as a dependency ? I thought to create a validator module which implements the validatorService interface, but I'm not sure if it is the best solution.

Answer 1

After few hours googling, It seems that creating an external librairy is the right choice. I create an external module and add it as a dependecy to restControllerB.
