WAR files with Spring Boot

This is the code developed in the tutorial on deploying Spring Boot apps as a WAR.

It modifies an existing simple REST app https://github.com/stormpath/stormpath-spring-boot-jpa-example

Requirements

• Maven
• JDK 7
• Tomcat 7

Running

To build and start the server simply type

$ mvn spring-boot:run

from the root directory.

Deploying on Tomcat

First build the WAR with

$ mvn clean package

Then copy the output WAR to Tomcat's webapps directory.

On Ubuntu the command is

$ sudo cp target/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/demo.war

Using

You can see what urls are available using curl:

$ curl localhost:8080/demo

You can view existing people objects using a similar request:

$ curl localhost:8080/demo/persons

and can create new ones using a POST:

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{ "firstName" : "Karl", "lastName" : "Penzhorn" }' localhost:8080/demo/persons

Todo

• Different build profiles
