Thorntail Example

This example takes a normal JAX-RS build, and wraps it into a -thorntail runnable jar.

Project pom.xml

This project is a traditional JAX-RS project, with maven packaging of war in the pom.xml

<packaging>war</packaging>

The project adds a <plugin> to configure thorntail-maven-plugin to create the runnable .jar.

<plugin>
  <groupid>io.thorntail</groupId>
  <artifactId>thorntail-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${version.thorntail}</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>package</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

For this example we're letting the plugin auto detect what dependencies we might need for our application, so no Thorntail specific dependencies need to be added.

Run

You can run it many ways:

• mvn clean package
• java -jar target/employees-service-0.2.0-thorntail.jar
• docker build -t employees-service:0.2.0 .
• docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name employees-service-container employees-service:0.2.0

If you want to debug the container run:

• docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --rm --name employees-service-container employees-service:0.2.0

Use

Since Thorntail apps tend to support one deployment per executable, it automatically adds a jboss-web.xml to the deployment if it doesn't already exist. This is used to bind the deployment to the root of the web-server, instead of using the .war's own name as the application context.
