### Getting Help With the Course
32
-
#### Udemy Q&A
33
-
Each course section has a Q&A Section. This should always be your first stop. Thousands of people have take this course.
34
-
Check to see if someone else asked a question related to your problem.
35
-
36
-
If not, share your problem here. The instructor, teacher's assistants, and other students watch and answer questions.
37
-
38
-
#### Slack
39
-
By enrolling in *Spring Framework 5: Beginner to Guru* you can join a Slack community exclusive to this course.
40
-
41
-
In Slack you can get help 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. The instructor, teachers assistants, and other students monitor Slack.
42
-
43
-
See section 1 of the course for instructions on how to join.
44
-
45
-
#### Do's and Don't of Getting Help
46
-
47
-
###### Do - Use Udemy Q&A or Slack
48
-
These resources are monitored by the instructor, teachers assistants, and other students.
49
-
50
-
###### Don't - Email or message the instructor directly
51
-
Asking your question in the public forums actually help others learn too. When you go outside the community, this is lost.
52
-
Also, the instructor is not always on-line and does take days off. You are likely to get a much faster response using Udemy Q&A or
53
-
Slack.
54
-
55
-
###### Do - Share a Link to your Project on GitHub
56
-
This helps others re-create your problem.
57
-
58
-
###### Don't - Share just a short part of the Error
59
-
Example of error shared:
60
-
```xml
61
-
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.3:prepare (default-cli) on project pet-clinic: Maven execution failed, exit code: '1' -> [Help 1]
62
-
```
63
-
In the above example, it is impossible to tell what the root cause is. The person has not shared enough details.
64
-
65
-
When seeking help, help others help you!
66
-
67
-
###### Do - Share the Error Output in a GitHub Gist Link
68
-
Create a [Gist](https://help.github.com/articles/about-gists/) of the error output to share.
69
-
70
-
**Pro-Tip** - You can create a gist from the run window of IntelliJ. In the console, right click > select option for
71
-
create gist.
72
-
73
-
###### Don't Share Screenshots
74
-
Using a gist is usually a better option!
75
-
76
-
###### Don't - Open GitHub Issues
77
-
Unfortunately, the course has been pirated. Support is for people who are legitimately enrolled in the course. There is
78
-
no way to verify enrollment from GitHub. Thus, problems raised on GitHub will not be addressed.
79
-
80
-
**Exception:** One exception is the Pet Clinic project, which is being treated as a community project.
81
-
### Java Version
82
-
83
-
#### Which version of Java should I use?
84
-
85
-
Majority of the course has been developed on Java 8. The course is being updated to Java 11.
86
-
87
-
If you wish to use Java 9 or higher, please modify the following:
88
-
89
-
**Note:** If you are on Java 9, or Java 10 you should consider updating to Java 11.
90
-
91
-
Update your Maven POM properties to reflect the Java version.
The JAXB API is no longer included with Java in Java 9 and higher. You will need to add this dependency as follows:
105
-
106
-
```xml
107
-
<dependency>
108
-
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
109
-
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
110
-
<version>${jaxb.version}</version>
111
-
</dependency>
112
-
<dependency>
113
-
<groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
114
-
<artifactId>jaxb-core</artifactId>
115
-
<version>${jaxb.version}</version>
116
-
</dependency>
117
-
<dependency>
118
-
<groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
119
-
<artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
120
-
<version>${jaxb.version}</version>
121
-
</dependency>
122
-
```
123
-
124
-
#### Do I need to use the Oracle JDK?
125
-
No. Open JDK should work just as well.
126
-
127
-
#### Do I need to pay Oracle for a license to use Java?
128
-
No, the Oracle JDK is free to use for development.
129
-
130
-
### Java IDE
131
-
#### Do I meed to use IntelliJ for this course?
132
-
No, all source code examples use Maven or Gradle. Any modern Java IDE supports these build tools.
133
-
134
-
#### Is it okay to use Eclipse for this course?
135
-
Yes. However, please understand the instructor has not used Eclipse in over 10 years and will not be able to
136
-
answer IDE related questions.
137
-
138
-
#### Can I use the Community Edition of IntelliJ?
139
-
Yes. The Community edition of IntelliJ is very good. The Ultimate Edition does have advanced features to support
140
-
Spring Framework development. These features are used in the course, and will not be available in the
141
-
Community Edition.
142
-
143
-
#### How do I get the free 120 Day Trial to IntelliJ Ultimate?
144
-
See section 1 of the course. There is a lecture with a sign-up link to register. You can download IntelliJ Ultimate with a
145
-
free 30 day trial right away. You will be emailed a code with instructions within 3-5 business days. (often faster)
146
-
147
-
#### I haven't received my 120 Day Trial code to IntelliJ Ultimate
148
-
If it has been more than 5 days, check your spam folder. (Almost always there!) If not found, email John Thompson. If
149
-
messaging on Udemy please include the email you registered with.
150
-
151
-
#### The code I received is not working.
152
-
This is often one of the following:
153
-
* You are entering the code as a license in IntelliJ. It is not a license code. It is a code for JetBrains to
154
-
issue you a 120 day license. Use this [link](https://www.jetbrains.com/store/redeem/) to register with JetBrains.
155
-
* If you get the error ```This coupon code is not applicable to the product.``` often it is because the email you are
156
-
using has been registered with JetBrains in the past. Try using a different email account.
157
-
158
-
#### Can I Use the EAP version of IntelliJ?
159
-
Yep! The instructor typically runs on the EAP version to get all the latest features. The EAP version is usually
160
-
very stable. Checkout the latest EAP version [here](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/)
161
-
162
-
## Common Problems
163
-
#### Getting error - Whitelabel Error Page - This application has no explicit mapping for /error...
164
-
This is a generic error page generated by Spring Boot. The root cause can be many different things.
165
-
166
-
If you see this web page, you need to view the Spring Boot console messages to determine the root cause.
167
-
168
-
#### Project wont start. Getting error: java.net.BindException: Address already in use
169
-
May see in console log:
170
-
```
171
-
***************************
172
-
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
173
-
***************************
174
-
175
-
Description:
176
-
177
-
The Tomcat connector configured to listen on port 8080 failed to start. The port may already be in use or the connector may be misconfigured.
178
-
179
-
Action:
180
-
181
-
Verify the connector's configuration, identify and stop any process that's listening on port 8080, or configure this application to listen on another port.
182
-
```
183
-
184
-
This means another application is already running on port 8080. You need to find and stop the other application.
185
-
186
-
#### Database tables missing in H2 Database console.
187
-
By default Spring Boot will configure the datasource as ```jdbc:h2:mem:testdb```
188
-
189
-
However, if running the H2 database console for the first time, the datasource URL is ```jdbc:h2:~/test```
190
-
191
-
What happens is the H2 database console is connecting to a different instance of the H2 database console, thus you will
192
-
not see the database tables.
193
-
194
-
**Solution:** When connecting in the H2 Database Console, change the JDBC URL to ```jdbc:h2:mem:testdb```
195
-
196
-
#### Multi-Module Maven Project has error 'can't find Main class'
197
-
Spring Boot is trying to build an executable fat JAR with dependencies for a module that should be a normal JAR, thus looking
198
-
for the main class for the JAR manifest file.
199
-
200
-
**Solution:**
201
-
You need to tell the Spring Boot Maven Plugin to **not** repackage the jar.
202
-
203
-
Add the following property to the Maven module you wish packaged as a normal jar.
