About the Service

The service is just a simple room reservation REST service. It uses an in-memory database (H2) to store the data. You can also do with a relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL. If your database connection properties work, you can call some REST endpoints defined in com.meetingrooms.reservations.api.ReservationsController on port 8080. (see below)

1. Make Reservations

curl --location 'localhost:8080/v1/reservations' \
    --data '{
    "capacity": 5,
    "startDateTime": "2025-01-11 10:15",
    "endDateTime": "2025-01-11 11:00"
    }'

2. Fetch Reservations

curl --location 'localhost:8080/v1/reservations?startDateTime=2025-01-11%2008%3A00&endDateTime=2025-01-11%2017%3A45'

To view your H2 in-memory database

The 'local' profile runs on H2 in-memory database. To view and query the database you can browse to http://localhost:8080/h2-console. Default username is 'sa' with a password password.
