This sample application shows how to conveniently create business applications based on CDS domain models, persisting data with H2, or SAP HANA, and exposing an OData V4 frontend with an SAP Fiori frontend on top.
This sample uses Spring Boot as an application framework. Although a CAP Java application isn’t required to build on Spring Boot, it’s the first choice of framework, as it’s seamlessly integrated.
The domain models are defined using CDS entity definitions.
By default, an in-memory H2 database is used for data persistency. Once productively deployed to SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP HANA can be used.
Services are defined using CDS Service Models. The OData V4 Protocol Adapter translates the CDS service models into corresponding OData schemas and maps the incoming OData requests to the corresponding CDS services.
Although CAP provides generic event handlers to serve most CRUD requests out-of-the-box, it’s possible to add business logic through Custom Event Handlers.
A SAP Fiori UI is added using predefined SAP Fiori elements templates. SAP Fiori annotations add information to the service definitions, on how to render the data.
CAP provides built-in multitenancy support with out-of-the box tenant isolation. The sample application demonstrates usage of MTX sidecar based on streamlined MTX and can be deployed as multitenant application. The deprecated classic MTX setup is shown in the mtx-classic branch for reference.
Framework and Infrastructure related Features:
- Application configuration for Spring and CDS using application.yaml
- Mocking users for local development
- Authentication & Authorization (including user-specific restrictions with
@restrict
in the Admin Service) - Cloud Foundry Deployment using MTA with XSUAA Service Bindings

CDS Maven Plugin Features:
- Install Node.js in the default version.
- Install a configured version of @sap/cds-dk.
- Execute arbitrary CDS commands.
- Generate Java POJOs for type-safe access to the CDS model.
- Clean project from artifacts of the previous build.
The following sections describe how to set up, build, and run the project.
Make sure you have set up a development environment (that means, you’ve installed the CDS Compiler, Java, and Apache Maven) as described here.
- Clone the project:
git clone https://github.com/SAP-samples/cloud-cap-samples-java.git
- Build and run the application:
mvn spring-boot:run
Optionally, use the following steps to import the project to Eclipse:
-
Import the project using File > Import > Existing Maven Projects.
Now, you should see the projects bookshop and bookshop-parent in the project/package explorer view.
-
In Project Explorer, change the property "Package Presentation" from "Flat" to "Hierarchical" for better understanding.
-
To compile the project, right-click the file
pom.xml
in thebookshop-parent
project root folder and select Run as > Maven build.In the following dialog, enter the string
clean install
into the field labeled with "Goals" and click "Run".Note: This step also compiles the CDS artifacts, thus repeat this once you made changes to the CDS model. This step also generates source files, therefore refresh the "bookshop" project in your IDE.
-
To run the application, right-click the
bookshop
project root in the Package Explorer and select Run as > Spring Boot App (make sure you have Spring Tools 4 installed).This step creates a default Run Configuration named
Bookshop - Application
and starts the application afterwards. To go on with the next step, stop the application again. -
Then, set the default working directory by editing your Run Configuration via Run > Run Configurations > Bookshop - Application. On the tab Arguments change the default Working Directory to:
${workspace_loc:bookshop-parent}
Afterwards, click Run. This step starts the applications
main
method located insrc/main/java/my/bookshop/Application.java
. -
Use the following links in the browser to check if everything works fine:
http://localhost:8080/: This should show the automatically generated index page of served paths. http://localhost:8080/fiori.html: This is the actual bookshop application UI. http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html: This is providing a Swagger UI for the CatalogService API.
You'll start with a predefined stock of books as this procedure starts the bookshop application with a CSV-initialized in-memory H2 database.
Two mock users are defined for local development:
- User:
user
, password:user
to browse books - User:
admin
, password:admin
to manage books and orders
- User:
IntelliJ can handle the project more or less out-of-the-box. Since some of the event handlers in the project rely on the code generated from the CDS model the build path of the project (module) needs to be extended with the folder containing the generated code. In order to add the generated code you need to add the 'gen' folder to the build path:
- Open the project settings.
- Navigate to the 'modules' section.
- Select the srv/src/gen folder and mark it as 'sources'.
- Save and leave the project settings.
- Trigger a rebuild.
After the generated code is considered by IntelliJ's build the application can be handled just as any other Spring Boot application in IntelliJ.
The application comes with two predefined profiles that determine how to run the application: default
, and cloud
(see srv/src/main/resources/application.yaml
).
-
The
default
profile specifies to use an in-memory H2 database. The in-memory database is set up automatically during startup of the application and initialized with some example data from CSV files. -
When deploying the application to Cloud Foundry, the CF Java Buildpack automatically configures the
cloud
Spring profile. This profile doesn’t specify any datasource location. In that case CAP Java can automatically detect SAP HANA service bindings available in the environment.
The behavior of the API_BUSINESS_PARTNER remote service is controlled using profiles (see srv/src/main/resources/application.yaml
):
-
Using mock data via internal service: When using only the
default
profile (default when omitting any profile setting), the API_BUSINESS_PARTNER API is mocked as a local service using the mock data. -
Using mock data via internal service through OData: With the
mocked
profile, all requests to the API_BUSINESS_PARTNER service will be routed through HTTP and OData to itself (http://localhost:<port>/api/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER/...
). This mode is similar to using a real remote destination, and such helps to prevent issues from differences in local service and remote service behavior. -
Using the sandbox environment: You can access data from the SAP API Business Hub sandbox with the
sandbox
profile. The API key needs to be provided with the environment variableCDS_REMOTE_SERVICES_API_BUSINESS_PARTNER_DESTINATION_HEADERS_APIKEY
. You can retrieve it by clicking on Show API Key on this page after logging in. -
Using S/4HANA cloud or on-premise system: With the
destination
profile, you can access data from a real S/4HANA system. You need to create a destination with names4-destination
and make sure that an instance of XSUAA and destination service are bound to your application. For an on-premise destination, you additionally need to bind the connectivity service and add an additional propertyURL.headers.sap-client
with the S/4HANA client number to your destination.
The profiles sandbox
and destination
can be combined with the default
profile for hybrid testing and with the cloud
profile when deployed to the cloud.
CAP Java applications can be deployed to the SAP Business Technology Platform either in single tenant or in multitenancy mode. See Multitenancy in CAP Java for more information.

kubectl
CLI), Cloud Foundry space (withcf
CLI) and Container Registry (withdocker login
) @sap/cds-dk
>= 6.6.0
CAP tooling provides you a Helm chart for deployment to Kyma.
For single tenant deployment, replace the requires
section in .cdsrc.json
with:
"requires": {
"auth": {
"kind": "xsuaa"
},
"approuter": {
"kind": "cloudfoundry"
},
"db": {
"kind": "hana-cloud"
}
},
For multi tenant deployment, replace the requires
section in .cdsrc.json
with:
"requires": {
"multitenancy": true,
"extensibility": true,
"toggles": true,
"auth": {
"kind": "xsuaa"
},
"approuter": {
"kind": "cloudfoundry"
}
},
Add the CAP Helm chart with the required features to this project:
cds add helm
You can try the API_BUSINESS_PARTNER
service with a real S/4HANA system with the following configuration:
-
Create either an on-premise or cloud destination in your subaccount.
-
Add configuration required for the destination service by executing the following command.
cds add destination
-
Set the profiles
cloud
anddestination
active in yourvalues.yaml
file:srv: ... env: SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE: cloud,destination
-
For on-premise only: Add the connectivity service to your Helm chart:
cds add connectivity
Note:
cds add helm
will not add configuration required to create a Connectivity Service Instance. This Service Instance should be created by the Kyma Cluster Administrator. For more information regarding configuration of Connectivity Instance, please check the documentation.

Create a secret container-registry
with credentials to access the container registry:
bash ./scripts/create-container-registry-secret.sh
The Docker Server is the full qualified hostname of your container registry.
This step is only required if you're using a BTP Trial account. If you're using a production or a free tier account then you can create HDI Container from Kyma directly by adding a mapping to your Kyma namespace in your HANA Cloud Instance and skip this step.
bash ./scripts/create-db-secret.sh bookshop-db
It will create a HDI container bookshop-db
instance on your currently targeted Cloud Foundry space and a secret bookshop-db
with the credentials in your current Kubernetes namespace.
