Includes project code along with a supporting slideshow and screen cast.

Changes to the original code base

This version has slightly modified pom.xml file in order to test jboss-as-maven-plugin and compare it with tomcat7-maven-plugin and jetty-maven-plugin.

To run the application:

In order to run the application on your local machine call:

tomcat7-maven-plugin

mvn tomcat7:run

or

jetty-maven-plugin

mvn jetty:run

or

jboss-as-maven-plugin
