This is a simple Maven project that builds a standalone JAR which contains a Jetty webserver and a simple bookstore servlet. The application is able to be built into a container and then available to be deployed as an Azure Web App.

Running locally:

Rename the launchdarkly.properties.sample file in src/main/resources to launchdarkly.properties and replace the key with the LaunchDarkly Server-side SDK key.

To build the software run the following command:

$ mvn package

This will generate a jar file at target/bookstore-v2-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar directory.

To run the application:

java -jar target/bookstore-v2-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

The logs from the jar file should report the url to access the web server on, which is port 8080 by default.
