Pivotal CF Workshop - Spring MVC

Introduction

This is the Spring MVC sample application for the Pivotal CF Workshop. It is intended to demonstrate some of the basic functionality of Pivotal CF:

• Pivotal CF target, login, and push
• Pivotal CF environment variables
• Pivotal CF service variables
• Scaling, router and load balancing
• Health manager and application restart
• RDBMS services and application auto-configuration

Building, Packaging, and Deploying

###To get the source code and build the WAR file

git clone https://github.com/pivotal-cf-workshop/cf-workshop-spring-mvc

mvn clean package

###To run the application

The application is set to use an embedded H2 database in non-PaaS environments, and to take advantage of Pivotal CF's auto-configuration for services. To use a MySQL Dev service in PCF, simply create and bind a service to the app and restart the app. No additional configuration is necessary when running locally or in Pivotal CF.

In Pivotal CF, it is assumed that a MySQL Dev service will be used.
