Watch Over Me - Crime Data Engine Project (Safer Streets)

Setup Build Environment

Each environment may have different setup (for example database connection and Elastic Beanstalk environment).

To allow multiple environment in this project, please duplicate /local.properties and rename it to your desired environment.

To build, please run ant with an argument -Dbuild.env={your-environment-name}. If you don't provide the argument, Ant will use local environment.

E.g.:

ant clean war                         ## local env
ant clean war -Dbuild.env=production  ## production env

FYI: All /conf/**/*.xml files will be process in Ant Replace Token filter. So, any string within @ and @ will be replaced by corresponding properties in /${build.env}.properties.

Initial Configuration

You will need to edit two files, local.properties and conf/SystemConfig.properties first and add in your relevant settings and keys.

Deployment to AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Requirements

We need this app to deploy automatically to AWS Elastic Beanstalk:

• AWS CLI (aws)
• AWS Elastic Beanstalk CLI (eb)

Install:

sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo pip install awsebcli
sudo pip install awscli

AWS CLI configuration (first time):

aws configure

How to Deploy

1. Clean project, create WAR and deploy it to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

    ant clean aws-eb-deploy -Dbuild.env=test
   

2. Turn off NAT service (optional, if not being required anymore).

    ant aws-vpc-nat-stop -Dbuild.env=test
