Java EE application using MySQL with WildFly Swarm
Table of Contents
This repo has a simple Java EE application that publishes a REST endpoint at /resources/employees. The resource returns a list of employees by querying a database.
The Java EE application is deployed as a JAR built using WildFly Swarm. MySQL is used as the backend database.
The application also publishes Prometheus-style metrics at /metrics.
Build application
Build Docker image
mvn -f employees/pom.xml clean package -Pdocker
Docker image used in this application, arungupta/docker-javaee:dockerconeu17, is already published at Docker Hub.
Run application
Using Docker Compose on Swarm mode
docker stack deploy --compose-file=docker-compose.yml webapp
Verify:
$ docker stack ls
