Problem with deploying a micro service

[ForzaZzh]

Hello,
I build a small micro service using pdfbox and java modules. When I run it locally everything is fine but when I try to deploy it it gives me the error below:

`> [node-java] Error: not found: javac

Could you provide a full reproduction? I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to micro's functioning though 🤔

[ForzaZzh]

it's a simple post request, sending pdf document

`const axios = require('axios')
const _ = require('lodash')
const { json } = require('micro')
const { send } = require('micro')
const { createError } = require('micro')
const microCors = require('micro-cors')
const moment = require('moment')
const java = require('java')
const Document = require('node-pdfbox')

const cors = microCors({ allowMethods: ['POST'] })

const testPdfBox= async (req, res) => {
let output = {}
let myDoc = Document.loadSync('./testdoc.pdf')
let page = myDoc.getPageSync(0)

output.extract_result = page.getTextSync()

output.result = 'OK'

statusCode = 200

// Return Response Object
send(res, statusCode, output)

}

module.exports = cors(testPdfBox)`

@ForzaZzh this is not an issue with micro.
You can see your error here https://github.com/joeferner/node-java#installation

I believe that now's standard image doesn't have java installed, so you have to deploy it with a Dockerfile.

Create a Dockerfile in your project root folder with something like

FROM joeferner/node-java
COPY . /src
WORKDIR "/src"
RUN npm install --production
EXPOSE 3000

# Startup
ENTRYPOINT npm start

@maccyber is correct 👍
