I downloaded this web application from GitHub, and I want make some changes and try it out for myself. My problem is I don't know how to run it on local server. Does anybody know how to run it on Jetty, Tomcat or another web server?
In the description on GitHub the author wrote: To run in development mode (using embedded HSQL database): Run this application using embedded Jetty server: mvn -P dev jetty:run -Dspring.profiles.active="dev"
But I'm not sure what this is. Is it a config for the server? Where must I use this code to run the app?
You don't need to install anything else.
Embedded HSQL and embedded Jetty means that both database and web container are deployed (and undeployed) automatically via the application's own code. mvn just tells Maven to run that Jetty using the dev profile, which will launch the web application within.
All I did was:
git clone git@github.com:jirkapinkas/java-blog-aggregator.git
cd java-blog-aggregator
mvn -P dev jetty:run -Dspring.profiles.active="dev"
and everything started up OK. That's really all.
