The greeter
quickstart demonstrates the use of CDI, JPA, JTA, EJB and JSF in WildFly Application Server.
When you deploy this example, two users are automatically created for you: emuster
and jdoe
. This data is located in the src/main/resources/import.sql file
.
To test this example:
username
field and click on Greet!
.No such user exists!
.Hello,
followed by the user's first and last name.Add a new user
link. Enter the username, first name, and last name and then click Add User
. The user is added and a message displays the new user id number.Greet a user!
link to return to the Greet!
page.Note: This quickstart uses the H2 database included with WildFly Application Server 11. It is a lightweight, relational example datasource that is used for examples only. It is not robust or scalable, is not supported, and should NOT be used in a production environment!
Note: This quickstart uses a *-ds.xml
datasource configuration file for convenience and ease of database configuration. These files are deprecated in WildFly and should not be used in a production environment. Instead, you should configure the datasource using the Management CLI or Management Console. Datasource configuration is documented in the Configuration Guide for WildFly Application Server.
The application this project produces is designed to be run on WildFly Application Server 11 or later.
All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven for WildFly 11 to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.
In the following instructions, replace WILDFLY_HOME
with the actual path to your WildFly installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of WILDFLY_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.
For Linux: WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
For Windows: WILDFLY_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
This will deploy target/greeter.war
to the running instance of the server.
The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/greeter/.
mvn wildfly:undeploy
Note: You will see the following warnings in the server log. You can ignore these warnings.
WFLYJCA0091: -ds.xml file deployments are deprecated. Support may be removed in a future version.
HHH000431: Unable to determine H2 database version, certain features may not work
You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a WildFly server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.
If you want to debug the source code of any library in the project, run the following command to pull the source into your local repository. The IDE should then detect it.
mvn dependency:sources
