Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."

A block of code is set as follows:

package com.microservices.chapter2

interface ServiceInterface {
  fun getHello(name : String) : String
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<build>
....
 <plugins>
  <plugin>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
   <configuration>
    <executable>true</executable>
 </configuration>
  </plugin>
....
</build>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

mvnw spring-boot:run
mvnw compile

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
