A collection of applications used for testing the Java buildpack.

Applications

NameDescription
dist-zip-applicationA Spring Boot application, deployed as a distZip
ejb-applicationA JEE EJB application using Servlet 3
groovy-applicationAn application started with groovy
java-main-applicationA Spring Boot application started with java -jar
ratpack-applicationA Ratpack application, deployed as a distZip
spring-boot-cli-applicationA Spring Boot CLI application, deployed with spring grab
spring-boot-cli-jar-applicationA Spring Boot CLI application, deployed with spring jar
web-applicationA Spring MVC application using Servlet 3
web-servlet-2-applicationA Spring MVC application using Servlet 2

Output Content

All applications support the following REST operations:

URIDescription
GET /The health of the application
GET /class-pathThe classpath of the application
GET /environment-variablesThe environment variables available to the application
GET /input-argumentsThe list of JVM input arguments for the application
POST /out-of-memoryThe URL to trigger an out of memory error
GET /request-headersThe http request headers of the current request
GET /security-providersThe system security providers available to the application
GET /system-propertiesThe system properties available to the application

Building

Before building the project, the following tools must be installed:

This project is built with Gradle. After installing the pre-requisites, run:

./gradlew

Building Behind a Proxy

Since this project downloads its dependencies from the internet, building behing a proxy requires some extra effort. In order configure gradle properly, use the following system properties. More information can be found here.

./gradlew -Dhttp.proxyHost=<HOST> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<PORT>

Deploying to Cloud Foundry

Each test application contains a manifest.yml file which allows the built application to be deployed to Cloud Foundry by simply issuing:

cf push

To avoid clashing with the URLs of other applications, you should specify your own subdomain for the application (unless the test application does not need a subdomain).

Failure Testing

Failure testing is supported for each of the above applications by setting a suitable environment variable.

If the environment variable FAIL_INIT is set, the application will fail to initialize:

cf set-env <application name> FAIL_INIT true

If the environment variable FAIL_OOM is set, the application will repeatedly exhaust the heap until the JVM is killed:

cf set-env <application name> FAIL_OOM true

Running Tests

To run the tests, do the following:

./gradlew
