Sample Spark application using Jetty server, built with Gradle
- Gradle 1.12
- JDK 1.8

The purpose of this repository is to show you how a Gradle + Spark project should be configured so the application you write will run on a web server or servlet container (like jetty).
Run this at a prompt:
gradle jettyRun
The application server will listen on 0.0.0.0:8080 by default. See Spark docs.
Run in an empty directory
gradle init --type basic
Change the build.gradle file to look similar to the one here. Create src/main/java, and fill it with happiness and sunshine. See the Spark docs.
Create src/main/webapp/WEB-INF. Gradle's Jetty plugin expects the directory to exist, and Java servlet containers need the directory to contain a web.xml file for some damned reason or another. See the copy in this repo, and read Spark's docs. It's not too complicated.
That's it. Now you have a Spark application that you can flesh out and build with Gradle. See the discussion above about running the sample.
