Sample App

This project contains a simple servlet application. Use at your own risk.

Running the application using the command-line

This project can be built with Apache Maven. The project uses [Liberty Maven Plug-in][] to automatically download and install Liberty from the Liberty repository. Liberty Maven Plug-in is also used to create, configure, and run the application on the Liberty server.

Use the following steps to run the application locally:

1. Execute full Maven build to create the target/JavaHelloWorldApp.war file:

   $ mvn install package

2. Run resources/create_db.sql and resources/insert_db.sql on PostgreSQL

3. Update jvm.options.templates template with proper database credentials and other properties

4. Create server

    $ mvn liberty:create-server

5. Rename jvm.options.templates to jvm.options and copy it to target/liberty/usr/servers/defaultServer

6. Start the server

   $ mvn liberty:install-feature
   $ mvn liberty:start-server

   Once the server is running, the application will be available under http://localhost:9080/.
