Developing your first application

Note
 Before we begin make sure to read section on System Requirements

In this example we build a simple restful HTTP endpoint using WildFly Swarm. The project uses maven and follows a typical maven project layout:

|-pom.xml
|-src
  |-main
    |-java

As a first step, we look at the Maven POM

Generating a custom project

The most simple way to get going is to use the web based Project Generator. It allows you to generate zip file with a full maven build structure, including example application code:

  • Head over to the Project Generator

  • Chose a JAX-RS fraction to begin with

  • Click Generate and save the resulting zip file on your machine

  • Unpack the zip and you’ve code everything we use in this simple example
