A lightweight, fully-customizable, Java-based web server and service.

Wsite

This is the online source repository of Wsite, a lightweight and fully-customizable web server and service with a Java-powered backend.

Important disclaimer

In its current state, Wsite is only meant for testing and development-purposes only. Not recommended to use in production. That being said, a demo of it is being ran at http://whizvox.me

How to run

Requirements

The following must be installed:

• Java 8 or greater: Oracle / OpenJDK

If you are having any problems building or running, use Java 8, not Java 9+.

Optional:

• Gradle 4.x
• sqlite3

Creating an executable Jar

Run ./gradlew shadowJar. The result will be in ./build/libs/wsite-<version>.jar

Run with Gradle

Run ./gradlew run. The service will use ./rundir as the working directory.

Quick-start guide

• First running will result in a small setup service being hosted at localhost:4568/
• Fill in (at minimum) the fields under Initial operator (the SSL and SMTP fields don't do anything right now)
• Submit the form, and the server will restart with the standard routes
• Login at /login (logout at /logout)
• Every route prefixed with /control will require an operator to be logged in.
• Goto /control to view all available control options

wsite's Issues

NoSuchMethodError running on Java 8

Version: 1.2.0-alpha-6

Attempting to create a new login entry will not be successful, as a strange error is thrown instead. Something along the lines of

NoSuchMethodException: CharBuffer#rewind() at ApiRoutes.java:568

This apparently happens because Java 9+ changes the return types of many Buffer methods, and I think I created a shadow Jar using Java 11 instead of Java 8. Whoops. In any case, there should be an easy fix that I'll take care of later. For now, just use Java 9+.
