WOM-Server

WOM-Server is a server web API for Watch Over Me tracking app.

Tech stack:

• Apache Tomcat 7.0
• Java EE 1.7
  • Eclipse Java Persistence 2.0
    • Spring 2.5
    • EH Cache 2.4 (In-memory database for caching)
    • Java WS RS 2.0
• MySQL 5.6

Build and Run Project

This project using Apache Ant (v1.9.4 and above) and Apache Ivy (v2.4.0 and above). Please install the build tools.

Preparation before building first time:

mkdir -p ./lib
mkdir -p ./dist
ant init resolve

You also need to import the database into MySQL server.

To build and create *.war file:

ant clean war

The *.war file will be in dist/mainportal.war. You can deploy this file by putting into Tomcat's webapps directory.

Initial Configuration

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

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 edit /local.properties. To create more environments, duplicate the file and rename it after your environment.

You can add new build environment by creating a new /${build.env}.properties.

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.
