This is a demo project showing how to serve static resources with Spring Boot. The URLs of the resources are versioned (either with a fixed version, either with a MD5 hash of the file content). The application wraps the Angular exception handler and send the crash informations to the server.

Technical dependencies

• Spring Boot for the server side (controller, serving static resources, etc)
• Gulp and UglifyJS to prepare and mangle the static resources
• Angular for the fun
• Google Closure compiler to read the source maps and map the JS stack frames

How to play with it

Run the application

All you need is a JVM and Maven. Then, in the project directory:

mvn package
cd war
mvn spring-boot:run

Crash it

Open your favorite browser and go to http://localhost:8080. You should get a page with a "Crash me!" button. Click it to crash the application.

Now, check your JavaScript console, you should have something like that:

Error: y is not defined
r.crash@http://localhost:8080/v1.2.3/js/app.min.js:1:605

 undefined

Check your server logs, you should get something like that:

Client JS exception ReferenceError: y is not defined

Compare the line numbers of the app.js and app.min.js files, they are not the same. In your server logs, you now have an helpful stack :-)
