Obtaining the application

The registry-core application runs as a web application archive (war) under standard sevlet containers such as Apache Tomcat.

The registry core project may be built from source in this repo by using Apache Maven.

Alternatively prepared released war files are available from the UKGovLD repository:

Configuration files and UI templates

The war file includes minimal bootstrap registry, configuration settings and UI templates.

However, in most deployments a customized set of configuration and UI files is deployed /opt/ldregistry. On start up the war will check there for configuration detail and only fallback on the configuration built into the war if the external configuration cannot be found.

For information on configuration see Configuration.

For a starting set of configuration files see registry-config-base. Most deployments should start with a fork of that repository, maintaining it as a upstream source so that fixes to the UI templates can be merged as necessary.
