The objective of this exercise is to clone, build and deploy a Restful Web API on a JBoss instance.
Configure your Linux instance on VirtualBox. For Debian/Ubuntu Install Maven to run from the command line.
sudo apt-get install maven
Install JBoss v7.0.2.Final from TAR file.
wget http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.0/jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/jboss-as-web-7.0.2.Final.tar.gz
Extract JBoss
tar xvfz jboss-as-web-7.0.2.Final.tar.gz
cd jboss-as-web-7.0.2.Final.tar.gz/bin
Ensure nothing in running on port 8080 - e.g. Tomcat
fuser 8080/tcp
If so force kill where PID is gleaned frmo the above fuser
sudo kill -9 PID
Start JBoss
./standalone.sh
Execute a git clone of this repository
git clone https://github.com/lynchd/rest-api.git
Navigate to the resulting rest-api directory
cd rest-api
Prepare the maven project for Eclipse
mvn eclipse:eclipse
Import the project into eclipse
Import > Existing Projects Into Workspace
Deploy to JBoss
mvn install
Use Postman or CURL to explore the API - e.g to Login
david@ronaldo:~$ curl -d'{
"email" : "stock@testuser.com",
"password" : "test"
}' -H "content-type:application/json" http://localhost:8080/users-1.0/login
>>> Response
{ "userId":"1","authToken":"fa910e21-7e1e-3726-a9ed-70329b60668d"}
Replace the fudged persistence layer with a database of your choice. That is, rewrite these. https://github.com/lynchd/rest-api/blob/master/src/main/java/ie/dit/users/data/repository/LoginRepository.java https://github.com/lynchd/rest-api/blob/master/src/main/java/ie/dit/users/data/repository/UserRepository.java
