DISCLAIMER: Vulnerabilities may be addressed at a future date and app is provided as is, not production but sample code.
In this sample application, you will create a basic Java cloud application using Spring. This provides a good starting point for creating Java microservice applications running on Spring. It contains no default application code, but comes with standard best practices, including a health check.
Capabilities are provided through dependencies in the pom.xml file. The ports are set to the defaults of 8080 for http is exposed. The ports are set in the pom.xml file.
The application exposes the following endpoints:
- Health endpoint:
<host>:<port>/healthe.g. http://localhost:8080/health - Web content:
<host>:<port>
You can deploy this application to IBM Cloud or build it locally by cloning this repo first. Once your app is live, you can access the /health endpoint to build out your cloud native application.
Click Deploy to IBM Cloud to deploy this same application to IBM Cloud. This option creates a deployment pipeline, complete with a hosted GitLab project and a DevOps toolchain. You can deploy your app to Virtual Server (Virtual Machine). Cleick here for More Details
To get started building this application locally, you can either run the application natively or use the IBM Cloud Developer Tools for building the application to IBM Cloud.
- Maven
- Java 8: Any compliant JVM should work.
- Java 8 JDK from Oracle
- Java 8 JDK from IBM (AIX, Linux, z/OS, IBM i), or Download a Liberty server package that contains the IBM JDK (Windows, Linux)
To build and run an application:
mvn installjava -jar ./target/javaspringapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
You can verify the state of your locally running application using the Selenium UI test script included in the scripts directory.
