Project used to experiment with Thrift. Uses gradle to build.

Before building / running

• make sure thrift 0.3 is installed from http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/download/ the gradle script assumes the thrift executable to be in /usr/local/bin/thrift
• make sure gradle (>= 0.9) is installed

Layout

• actual code in src/main/java
• thrift file(s) in src/main/thrift/
• generated sources (by thrift) are in src/generated/java/gen-javabean/
• configuration and resources in src/main/resources

Compiling

Generate and compile all source using:

gradle compileJava

Running

Run the server (on port 1234) using:

gradle runServer

Run the client using:

gradle runClient

Both these tasks call the compile task before running.

Expected output

Server:

peter ~/dev/thrift/Category-Service-Test-project (master) $ gradle runServer

:compileJava UP-TO-DATE

:processResources UP-TO-DATE

:classes UP-TO-DATE

:runServer
