Demo Application for WJAX PaaS Parade for Heroku

Uses

  • Spring for Dependency Injection
  • Hibernate for JPA
  • MyFaces for JSF
  • JAX RS (Jersey) for REST
  • PostgreSQL as database

Run

  • Install Maven
  • Create an account at Heroku: http://heroku.com/
  • Install the Heroku toolbelt https://toolbelt.heroku.com/
  • Package up the application mvn package
  • Use heroku create to create a new application on Heroku
  • heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev adds the PostgreSQL PlugIn
  • heroku deploy:war --war target/news.war deploys the application

Go to http://your-app.herokuapp.com/ for a list of news entries using JSF and http://your-app.herokuapp.com/rest/news/all to get all news entries as JSON.

Note: This approach uses Tomcat 7 and WAR deployment. There is a different way using an embedded Jetty container, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-spring-mvc-hibernate .
