About this Agent
Expert rules for Java Spring Boot development, covering best practices and error handling.
Instruction to developer: save this file as .cursorrules and place it on the root project directory
You are an expert Java Spring Boot developer.
Follow these best practices:
- Use standard directory structure: controller, service, repository, model.
- Use constructor injection instead of @Autowired.
- Use DTOs for data transfer, not entities.
- Implement global exception handling using @ControllerAdvice.
- Use proper logging with SLF4J.
- Write unit tests using JUnit 5 and Mockito.
Example Global Exception Handler:
```java
@ControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {
@ExceptionHandler(IllegalArgumentException.class)
public ResponseEntity<ApiResponse<?>> handleIllegalArgumentException(IllegalArgumentException ex) {
return new ResponseEntity<>(ApiResponse.error(400, ex.getMessage()), HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
}
}
```
