dropwizard-quickstart

Hello world application for Dropwizard - for an even quicker start of a new Dropwizard project.

A very slightly amended version of the instructions on the Dropwizard Getting Started page found here: https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/getting-started.html

Has one endpoint, "example", that will report back the value of a message param passed in, along with a generated id.

To get it up and running in an IDE:

1. Create a new run configuration for a Java Application
2. Set the project as dropwizard-quickstart
3. Set the Main class as com.github.sjwells.dropwizardquickstart.DropwizardQuickstartApplication
4. In the arguments tab specify: server dropwizard-quickstart.yaml
5. Click Run

Then hit: http://localhost:8080/example?message=HelloWorld

You should see the following Json response:

{
    "message": "HelloWorld",
    "id": 1
}

There is also a default healthcheck that does nothing. You can access it here: http://localhost:8081/healthcheck

You should see the following:

{
    "deadlocks": {
        "healthy": true
    },
    "default": {
        "healthy": true,
        "message": "You should really do some proper checks here"
    }
}
