Java EE Businesses app
A sample, fairly bare-bones setup for Java EE app which serves necessary files for a frontend application. Built using maven.
Building locally
run mvn package and then deploy the .war to your container (e.g. GlassFish server).
GlassFish
If you use GlassFish from command line, go to GlassFish , use:
bin/asadmin start-domain
bin/asadmin deploy --contextroot "/" $PATH_TO_REPO/target/JavaEETest.war
and now you should be able to go to http://localhost:8080
Interesting bits
All static assets are served from src/main/webapp folder. Interesting bit is the AssetsServingFilter class which essentially handles the redirection of all user's requests to serve index.html page, excluding API calls, JS, CSS files and images.
The purpose is to support HTML5 mode paths in Angular application. This way, http://localhost:8080/businesses
link is resolved properly to Angular application, while preserving the path for correct resolution.
