NixMash Posts (in progress)

Installation

The Bootique Shiro Demo uses MySQL which requires configuration. To configure

Create a MySQL database and run setup.mysql located in install/sql
Update the Bootique JDBC Connection properties in bootique.yml

The tests use H2 and require no configuration.

Twitter Oauth Setup

You'll need to register your application with Twitter at http://dev.twitter.com. This demo uses localhost:9000 so your Application Twitter Callback URL should be http://localhost:9000/authorized.

Copy the sample4j.properties in both /src/main/resources and /src/test/resources to twitter4j.properties and populate all values listed. The application requires oauth.consumerKey and oauth.consumerSecret values.

# supply the following properties in /src/main/resource/twitter4j.properties

oauth.consumerKey=*********
oauth.consumerSecret=*******

The test twitter4j.properties file requires the additional property values of oauth.accessToken and oauth.accessTokenSecret. To obtain those properties you will:

RUN the application
LOGIN with Twitter, and if all goes well you will see an accessToken and accessTokenSecret in the MySQL table user_social, fields access_token and secret.
Enter these values in the accessToken/accessTokenSecret properties in your test twitter4j.properties file.

# enter all properties in /src/test/resource/twitter4j.properties

oauth.consumerKey=*********
oauth.consumerSecret=*******
oauth.accessToken=***********
oauth.accessTokenSecret=*********

To Run

Build the app in your IDE and go to

http://localhost:9000/

To use Maven:

mvn clean package

Enter the following to launch the app from your application root directory.
