This tutorial demonstrates the ease of deploying OfficeFloor applications.

Tutorial Source

Deploying

To deploy an OfficeFloor application, add the following build configuration to your pom.xml:

			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<phase>package</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>shade</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<transformers>
								<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
									<mainClass>net.officefloor.OfficeFloorMain</mainClass>
								</transformer>
								<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ServicesResourceTransformer" />
							</transformers>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>

This will create an executable jar that can be run with the following:

    java -jar <project-jar-file>

In the case of this tutorial, it is:

    java -jar DeployHttpServer-3.39.0.jar

Docker

As OfficeFloor applications can be run as a single command, it is easy to copy the jar file into a Docker image and run it.

A simple Docker build file might look as follows:

FROM openjdk:8
COPY target/DeployHttpServer-3.39.0.jar server.jar
CMD ["java", "-Dhttp.port=8080", "-jar", "server.jar"]

Various system properties can be used to configure OfficeFloor. Please see:
