Create a database with the name is learn_spring_boot_with_real_apps. This database have 1 table: Product table

--
-- Table structure for table `product`
--

CREATE TABLE `product` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(250) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `price` decimal(10,1) NOT NULL,
  `quantity` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `description` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `photo` varchar(250) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `featured` tinyint(1) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

--
-- Dumping data for table `product`
--

INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Mobile 1', '2.0', 2, 'description 1', 'thumb1.gif', 1);
INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Mobile 2', '1.0', 5, 'description 2', 'thumb2.gif', 1);
INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Mobile 3', '3.0', 9, 'description 3', 'thumb3.gif', 1);
INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Computer 1', '5.0', 12, 'description 4', 'thumb1.gif', 0);
INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Computer 2', '7.0', 5, 'description 5', 'thumb1.gif', 1);
INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Computer 3', '12.0', 2, 'description 6', 'thumb2.gif', 1);
INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Laptop 1', '3.0', 8, 'description 7', 'thumb2.gif', 0);
INSERT INTO `product` (`name`, `price`, `quantity`, `description`, `photo`, `featured`) VALUES('Laptop 2', '4.0', 11, 'description 8', 'thumb3.gif', 0);

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.url= jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/learn_spring_boot_with_real_apps
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=123456

Create new package named com.demo.entities. In this package, create a entity class – Product.java, to represent the above table

package com.demo.entities;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

public class Product implements Serializable {

	private int id;
	private String name;
	private BigDecimal price;
	private int quantity;
	private String description;
	private String photo;
	private boolean featured;

	public int getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(int id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public BigDecimal getPrice() {
		return price;
	}

	public void setPrice(BigDecimal price) {
		this.price = price;
	}

	public int getQuantity() {
		return quantity;
	}

	public void setQuantity(int quantity) {
		this.quantity = quantity;
	}

	public String getDescription() {
		return description;
	}

	public void setDescription(String description) {
		this.description = description;
	}

	public String getPhoto() {
		return photo;
	}

	public void setPhoto(String photo) {
		this.photo = photo;
	}

	public boolean isFeatured() {
		return featured;
	}

	public void setFeatured(boolean featured) {
		this.featured = featured;
	}

}

Create new package named com.demo.dao. Create classes and interface for DAO layer. DAO layer use JDBC technologies manipulate the database

package com.demo.dao;

import com.demo.entities.Product;

public interface ProductDAO {

	public boolean create(Product product);

}
package com.demo.dao;

import com.demo.entities.Product;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

@Repository("productDAO")
public class ProductDAOImpl implements ProductDAO {

	@Autowired
	private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;

	@Override
	public boolean create(Product product) {
		return this.jdbcTemplate.update("INSERT INTO product(name, price, quantity, description, photo, featured) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)", product.getName(), product.getPrice(), product.getQuantity(), product.getDescription(), product.getPhoto(), product.isFeatured()) > 0;
	}

}




Open LearnSpringBootWithRealAppsApplication.java file in com.demo package, call methods from ProductDAO. To show result to console, this class need implements from CommandLineRunner

package com.demo;

import java.math.BigDecimal;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import com.demo.dao.ProductDAO;
import com.demo.entities.Product;

@SpringBootApplication
public class LearnSpringBootWithRealAppsApplication implements CommandLineRunner {

	@Autowired
	ProductDAO productDAO;

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(LearnSpringBootWithRealAppsApplication.class, args);
	}

	@Override
	public void run(String... arg0) throws Exception {

		Product newProduct = new Product();
		newProduct.setName("New Name 1");
		newProduct.setPrice(BigDecimal.valueOf(11));
		newProduct.setQuantity(2);
		newProduct.setDescription("good");
		newProduct.setFeatured(true);
		newProduct.setPhoto("a.gif");
		boolean result = productDAO.create(newProduct);
		System.out.println("Result: " + result);

	}
}
Result: true
