Summary

Full migration of the eShopLegacyMVC catalog application from .NET Framework 4.7.2 (ASP.NET MVC 5, Entity Framework 6) to Java 21 / Spring Boot 3.5.0 with Spring Data JPA, Thymeleaf, and WebJars.

Migration scope: 39 .NET source files → 98 new Java/config/template files (6,556 lines) across 9 epics, 40 tickets, executed in 7 waves via 40+ parallel child Devin sessions.

Architecture

Layer .NET (Before) Java (After)
Framework ASP.NET MVC 5, .NET 4.7.2 Spring Boot 3.5.0, Java 21
ORM Entity Framework 6 Spring Data JPA
Views Razor (.cshtml) Thymeleaf (.html)
DI Autofac Spring IoC
Logging log4net SLF4J + Logback

Test Results

  • 104 tests, all passing (0 failures)
  • Unit tests: 48 (service layer, serialization)
  • Controller tests: 23 (@WebMvcTest)
  • Integration tests: 22 (full context)
  • Smoke tests: 9
  • Context/health: 2

Quality Gates — All PASS

  • mvn clean compile: 31 source files, BUILD SUCCESS
  • mvn test: 104/104 pass
  • /actuator/health: UP (db, diskSpace, ping, ssl)
  • All API endpoints return expected status codes
  • UI pages render correctly

See eShopLegacyMVC-SpringBoot/MIGRATION_TEST_REPORT.md for the full test report and eShopLegacyMVC-SpringBoot/WAVE_PROGRESS_REPORT.md for per-wave validation history.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Run cd eShopLegacyMVC-SpringBoot && ./mvnw clean test — should show 104 tests passing
  • Run ./mvnw spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=mock and browse http://localhost:8080 — verify catalog listing, pagination, CRUD operations
  • Verify API endpoints: curl http://localhost:8080/api/brands should return 5 brands
  • Check Thymeleaf templates render correctly with Bootstrap styling (WebJars, not raw files)
  • Review Flyway migrations in src/main/resources/db/migration/ for schema correctness

Notes

  • The mock profile uses in-memory data (no DB required). For real database testing, use dev profile with H2 or configure SQL Server.
  • Frontend vendor libraries are served via WebJars — no raw jQuery/Bootstrap files committed.
  • Deployment artifacts included: Dockerfile, GitHub Actions workflow, deployment/rollback documentation.
  • ARB approval was validated in Confluence (page ID 41615373, status: APPROVED) before migration began.

Epic 0: Initialize Spring Boot 3.5 project scaffold

Add JsonSerializationUtil with serializeToJson/deserializeFromJson
methods supporting both byte[] and InputStream overloads. Uses Jackson
ObjectMapper for safe JSON serialization, replacing the legacy .NET
BinaryFormatter approach. Includes comprehensive unit tests verifying
round-trip serialization, error handling, and null field support.

Co-authored-by: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
- Add CatalogItem JPA entity mapped to 'Catalog' table
- @id without @GeneratedValue (HiLo sequence managed externally)
- Jakarta Validation: @NotNull/@SiZe(max=50) on name, @DecimalMin/@DecimalMax on price, @Min/@max on stock fields
- BigDecimal for Price with @column(precision=18, scale=2)
- @manytoone relationships to CatalogBrand and CatalogType with @joincolumn
- PictureUri marked @transient (not persisted)
- Default PictureFileName = 'dummy.png'
- Add stub CatalogBrand and CatalogType entities for compilation

Epic 4: Shared Library Migration — JSON Serialization
…n-entities

Epic 1: Domain Entities + Validation
- Add CatalogItemHiLoGenerator as @component in config package
- Thread-safe sequence retrieval using ReentrantLock
- Uses JdbcTemplate to query SQL Server catalog_hilo sequence
- Preserves HiLo increment of 10 from .NET source
- Injectable via constructor injection
…rand, and CatalogType

- CatalogItemRepository extends JpaRepository with JOIN FETCH query for eager loading
- CatalogItemRepository includes @EntityGraph-annotated findAll(Pageable) for pagination
- CatalogBrandRepository extends JpaRepository<CatalogBrand, Integer>
- CatalogTypeRepository extends JpaRepository<CatalogType, Integer>
- All repositories in com.eshop.catalog.repository package
- Add DataInitializer (ApplicationRunner) that reads CSV files when
  useCustomizationData is enabled via AppProperties
- CSV parsing handles: header row skipping, quoted values, empty lines,
  regex split for comma-inside-quotes
- CatalogItems CSV resolves CatalogType/CatalogBrand by name lookup
- Handles optional columns (availablestock, restockthreshold,
  maxstockthreshold, onreorder)
- Add repository interfaces for CatalogType, CatalogBrand, CatalogItem
- Add sample CSV data files matching PreconfiguredData
Create V1__create_schema.sql with:
- CatalogType table (Id IDENTITY, Type nvarchar(100))
- CatalogBrand table (Id IDENTITY, Brand nvarchar(100))
- Catalog table with foreign keys to CatalogType and CatalogBrand
- HiLo sequences (catalog_hilo, catalog_brand_hilo, catalog_type_hilo)
  each starting at 100 with increment 10
- Remove .gitkeep placeholder
CatalogItem uses @id without @GeneratedValue, so explicitly assign
sequential IDs (using the 1-based row index) to avoid duplicate
primary key violations.
AvailableStock, RestockThreshold, MaxStockThreshold, and OnReorder
are mapped to Java primitives (int, boolean) which cannot represent
null. The original .NET entity also uses non-nullable value types.
Add NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 to match both source and target entity models.
Check repository count before inserting CSV data. If data already
exists, skip seeding to avoid duplicate rows in persistent databases.
…pository query

- Create PaginatedItemsDto record in dto/ package for paginated responses
- Add findByIdWithBrandAndType query to CatalogItemRepository
- Create CatalogService interface with CRUD and pagination methods
- Create CatalogServiceImpl with @service @Profile(!mock) @transactional on writes
- Class-level @transactional(readOnly=true), method-level @transactional on mutations
…edData, and PaginatedItemsDto

- CatalogService: interface defining CRUD + paginated query contract
- CatalogServiceMock: @service @Profile("mock") with in-memory ConcurrentHashMap storage
- PreconfiguredData: utility providing seed catalog items, brands, and types
- PaginatedItemsDto: Java record for paginated response data
…ordering

Edit test now targets item 5 (Roslyn Red Sheet) instead of item 1.
Delete test now targets item 12 (Prism White TShirt) instead of item 3.
This avoids shared-state conflicts with read-only tests that assert on
item 1's original name.
…H2 console

- Add @ResponseStatus annotations and HttpServletResponse for proper HTTP status codes in GlobalExceptionHandler
- Replace CookieCsrfTokenRepository.withHttpOnlyFalse() with new CookieCsrfTokenRepository() (HttpOnly=true)
- Exempt /h2-console/** from CSRF and add X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN for H2 console iframe support
Replace incorrect .param() calls (catalogBrand/catalogType entity fields)
with .flashAttr() passing a fully-populated CatalogItem. This correctly
bypasses data binding and tests the controller validation logic directly,
matching how the actual Thymeleaf forms submit catalogBrandId/catalogTypeId.
…ption status codes

The catch-all @ExceptionHandler(Exception.class) was swallowing Spring MVC
framework exceptions (405, 415, 400, etc.) and returning 500 for all of them.
Extending ResponseEntityExceptionHandler ensures framework exceptions are
handled with their correct HTTP status codes before falling through to the
catch-all.

…lidation

Devin Review correctly identified that create/edit form submissions
always failed validation because @Valid runs before entity references
(catalogBrand, catalogType) are resolved from the submitted IDs.

Fix: remove @Valid, add resolveEntityReferences() to look up brand/type
entities from their IDs via the service before manual validation.
Integration tests now properly assert 302 redirect on success.
