Step 1. Add Gradle plugin to STS IDE
Step 2. Create Project Structure for Dynamic Web Project As following.
Step 3. Gradle Build File
Build.gradle
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
providedCompile 'javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.0.0.RELEASE'
compile 'org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf-spring4:2.1.4.RELEASE'
compile 'org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf:2.1.4.RELEASE'
runtime 'javax.servlet:jstl:1.1.2'
}
Step 4. Go to the project folder, same level with build.gradle, issue the following command :
$ gradle cleanEclipse eclipse
Now, you can import the project into STS IDE.
or
Step 4. Right click on the project and goto the configure and click convert gradle project.
Step 5. Spring MVC Files Code
HomeController.java
package com.doj.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
@Controller
public class HomeController {
@RequestMapping(value="/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String printWelcome(ModelMap model) {
model.addAttribute("message", "Spring 4 MVC Hello Gradle World!!! This is a Thymeleaf template ");
return "home";
}
}
home.jsp
<html>
<body>
<h1>Message : ${message}</h1>
</body>
</html>

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mygradleapp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Step 6: Run It
Start and deploy above web project.
http://localhost:8080/mygradleapp/
Step 7. Create WAR File
Clean and build a WAR file with the following command :
$ gradle clean build
:clean
:compileJava
:processResources
:classes
:war
:assemble
:compileTestJava UP-TO-DATE
:processTestResources UP-TO-DATE
:testClasses UP-TO-DATE
:test UP-TO-DATE
:check UP-TO-DATE
:build
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 4.012 secs
The generated WAR file is located at the buildlibs folder.
${Project}buildlibsmygradleapp.war
