Deploying Java WARs to WildFly application server

This examples assumes completion of the Java Thorntail Maven and Java JSP Jetty Maven examples. Here, we take the packaged JARs from those projects and deploy to the WildFly JavaEE-compliant application server.

Create a new WildFly container and enable the management console:

docker run \
--name wildfly \
--hostname wildfly \
-p 3020:8080 \
-p 3021:9990 \
jboss/wildfly \
//opt/jboss/wildfly/bin/standalone.sh \
-bmanagement 0.0.0.0 \
-b 0.0.0.0

Create a new administrative user for the management console:

docker exec wildfly //opt/jboss/wildfly/bin/add-user.sh -u admin -p admin

The management console should then be visible at http://127.0.0.1:3021.

Start a deployment in the management console and upload .war from the target directory of the Java Thorntail Maven example and app.war from the Java JSP Jetty Maven example.

The application endpoints should be visible at http://127.0.0.1:3020/restful-endpoint/rest/hello and http://127.0.0.1:3020/app/. In the management console under Runtime > Server > JAX-RS The REST endpoints should also be listed.

Monitoring requests

Once deployed, under Runtime > Server > Web > Server > default-server > default, enable statistics. To make 1000 requests to the endpoints run the following and monitor the WildFly webserver statistics:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:3020/restful-endpoint/rest/hello/?[1-1000]"
curl "http://127.0.0.1:3020/app/?[1-1000]"
