Servlet Sample

This project contains a simple Servlet application.

Download sample.servlet.war.

Running in Eclipse with Maven

1. Download and install Eclipse with the WebSphere Developer Tools.
2. Create a new Liberty Profile Server. See step 3 for details.
3. Clone this repository.
4. Import the sample into Eclipse using File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects option.
5. Right click on the project and go to Properties > Project Facets and select Dynamic Web Module (if not already selected).
6. Deploy the sample into Liberty server. Right click on the servlet sample and select Run As -> Run on Server option. Find and select the Liberty profile server and press Finish.
7. Go to: http://localhost:9080/servlet

Running with Maven

This project can be built with Apache Maven. The project uses Liberty Maven Plug-in to automatically download and install the Liberty Java EE Web Profile 7 runtime from Maven Central. 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 with Maven:

1. Execute the full Maven build. The Liberty Maven Plug-in will download and install the Liberty server.

   $ mvn clean install

2. To run the server with the Servlet sample execute:

   $ mvn liberty:run-server

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

Please refer to the Liberty Maven Plug-in repository for documentation about using the Liberty Maven Plug-in.

Running with Gradle

This project can also be built and run with Gradle. The provided build.gradle file applies the Liberty Gradle Plug-in and is configured to automatically download and install the Liberty Java EE Web Profile 7 runtime from Maven Central. The Liberty Gradle Plug-in has built-in tasks that can be used to create, configure, and run the application on the Liberty server.

Use the following steps to run the application with the Gradle wrapper (Windows machines use gradlew.bat):

1. Execute the full Gradle build. The Liberty Gradle Plug-in will download and install the Liberty server.

   $ ./gradlew clean build

2. To start the server with the Servlet sample execute:

   $ ./gradlew libertyStart

   Alternatively, execute the run command:

   $ ./gradlew libertyRun --no-daemon

Once the server has started, the application will be available under http://localhost:9080/servlet.

3. To stop the server, execute:

   $ ./gradlew libertyStop

Note, if Gradle is properly installed, Gradle commands can be executed directly using gradle and wouldn't require gradlew.

Please refer to the Liberty Gradle Plug-in repository for documentation about using the Liberty Gradle Plug-in.
