Simple java project demos how to build a war file to be deployed on a Tomcat server.
The build script uses mvn package to produce a demo.war file and then bundles it with a Docker image that runs Tomcat. Usage:
bin/build
- mvn package was ran and the
target/demo.warwas moved intopkg/demo.war - a docker image was built which copied the
pkg/demo.warto/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/demo.war. Check out the Dockerfile for details.
Here's an example of some things to check after running the build script:
$ ls pkg/demo.war
pkg/demo.war
$ docker images

The app is a small demo of a java servlet app. Here's the source code to url mapping:
| Source | Url |
|---|---|
| src/main/java/Hello.java | localhost:8080/demo/Hello |
| src/main/webapp/index.jsp | localhost:8080/demo/index.jsp |
Here are the summarized commands to run and test that Tomcat is serving the war file:
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -d demo-java
docker exec -ti $(docker ps -ql) bash
curl localhost:8080/demo/Hello
curl localhost:8080/demo/index.jsp
exit
docker stop $(docker ps -ql)
Then you can hit the the [HOSTNAME]:8080/demo/Hello and to verify that Tomcat is servering the demo.war file. You should see an html page that says "Hello World". The output should look similar:
$ docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -d demo-java

$ docker exec -ti $(docker ps -ql) bash
root@2ba7323481fa:/usr/local/tomcat# curl localhost:8080/demo/Hello
<h1>Hello World Hello.java</h1>
root@2ba7323481fa:/usr/local/tomcat# curl localhost:8080/demo/index.jsp
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello World index.jsp!</h2>
</body>
</html>
root@2ba7323481fa:/usr/local/tomcat# exit
exit
$ docker stop $(docker ps -ql)

$ docker ps -a

The ufo branch of this project provides an additional demo that takes the war artifact, builds a Docker image and deploys it to ECS. For details please check out that branch: ufo. For more details on ufo check out the official ufo docs.
Here are some notes on the initial generation of the project. The initial files and project structure was generated with the mvn archetype:generate command. Note, you do not have to run the command it is just noted here for posterity. More info: Creating a webapp and Introduction to the Standard Directory Layout.
Change were made like adding a simple Hello.java Serlvet class.
The original command was:
mvn archetype:generate \
-DinteractiveMode=false \
-DgroupId=com.domain \
-DartifactId=demo \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
- docker:
brew install docker - maven:
brew install maven
