A web app that displays visitor's geolocation on a map of the world (OpenStreetMap).
Written on Java with Spring Boot framework, API integration for IP addresses location, and SQLite as a database.
When a user visits the main page, the app takes the user's data(IP address and other properties from the user's browser) and does an HTTP request to a third-party web service. In response, we receive geolocation, country, city, Internet service provider name, etc. then all data save into a database. If the IP address is already in our database, it will not do a new request, just update the existing record with new visit details from the user.
Following tools are needed:
-
JRE,JDK v.8
-
Apache Maven 3.3.9
To compile this app you need to type:
mvn clean
mvn compile
mvn package
In order to run the app, go to target/ and type
$ java -jar demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
The app automatically creates a database called test.db
If a user visits http://localhost:8080/?name=username it saves all data with username into the database, otherwise as anonymous with http://localhost:8080/ link. If the user seems not a real person - the system will the data save as bot.
In order to see the map with all visitors open this link http://localhost:8080/map
