Simple Java Web Application for DevOps pipeline testing
Use maven to build the application.
The following command compiles the java sources, executes the unit tests, and generates an executable jar file of the application:
$ mvn clean package
Use maven to run the unit tests:
$ mvn clean test
To run the web app from the command line, type:
$ cd target
$ java -jar testwebapp-1.0.jar -p8080
where 8080 is the HTTP port to bind to. (Note that binding to port 80 requires root rights.)
The expected output is the following:
$ java -jar testwebapp-1.0.jar -p8080

Open http://localhost:8080
in the browser to verify that the web app is running. The expected output is "Hello World!".
The following steps are required to start the application on system bootup:
- copy the the systemd service file
systemd/testwebapp.service
to the target host's /etc/systemd/system directory - copy the jar file to
/opt/testwebapp/lib/java/testwebapp-1.0.jar
- issue the
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
commmand - enable the service with
sudo systemctl enable testwebapp
- start the service with
sudo systemctl start testwebapp
