A really “Quick Start” with Spring Boot, WildFly and OpenShift as opposed to my last, more descriptive article. Prerequisite Before we can start building the application, we need to have an OpenShift free account and client tools installed. Step 1: Create WildFly application To create an application using client tools, type the following command: rhc create-app <app-name> jboss-wildfly-8 --scaling This ...

OpenShift DIY cartridge is a great way to test unsupported languages on OpenShift. But it is not scalable (you can vote for Scalable DIY cartridge here) which makes it hard to use with production grade Spring Boot applications. But what if we deployed Spring Boot application to WildFly Application Server? Spring Boot can run with embedded servlet container like Tomcat ...

Gradle 1.6 was the last supported Gradle version to run on OpenShift due to this bug. But as of Gradle 2.2 this is no more an issue, so running newest Gradle on OpenShift should not be a problem anymore with Do It Yourself cartridge. DIY cartridge is an experimental cartridge that provides a way to test unsupported languages on OpenShift. ...

It frees us from the slavery of complex configuration files and helps us to create standalone Spring applications that don’t need an external servlet container. This sounds almost too good to be true, but Spring Boot can really do all this. This blog post demonstrates how easy ...

I came through interesting problem on Stack Overflow. Brett Ryan had problem that Spring Security configuration was initialized twice. When I was looking into his code I spot the problem. Let me show show the code. He has pretty standard Spring application (not using Spring Boot). Uses more modern Java servlet Configuration based on Spring’s AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer.         ...

When I needed to do prototyping, proof of concept or play with some new technology in free time, starting new project was always a little annoying barrier with Maven.
