## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
|
||
|
||
* Java (JDK 11 or later)
|
||
* Maven
|
||
* MySQL
|
||
* Your favorite IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc.)
|
||
|
||
### Local Setup
|
||
|
||
1. Clone the repository:
|
||
|
||
```plaintext
|
||
git clone https://github.com/aamitn/URLShortener.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. **Apply the Database Schema:**
|
||
|
||
Execute the provided **db\_schema.sql** file to set up the necessary tables and schema for the application. This script will also create the required database.
|
||
|
||
```plaintext
|
||
mysql -u your_username -p < path/to/db_schema.sql
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Update the application.properties file:
|
||
|
||
Update the application.properties file in the src/main/resources directory with your database configuration.
|
||
|
||
4. Build and run the application:
|
||
|
||
```plaintext
|
||
cd URLShortener
|
||
mvn spring-boot:run
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
5. Access the application at http://localhost:8080
|
||
|
||
### Deployment
|
||
|
||
1. **Build a deployable WAR:**
|
||
|
||
```plaintext
|
||
mvn clean install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. **Deploy the WAR:**
|
||
* **Option 1: Manual Deployment**
|
||
|
||
Deploy the generated WAR file to your Tomcat server. Copy the WAR file to the `webapps` directory of your Tomcat installation.
|
||
|
||
```plaintext
|
||
cp target/shorten.war /path/to/tomcat/webapps/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* **Option 2: Web Interface Upload**
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, if your Tomcat server provides a web interface for WAR file deployment, follow these steps:
|
||
|
||
* Access the Tomcat Manager web interface at `http://localhost:8080/manager/html` (replace with your Tomcat server address).
|
||
* Log in with your Tomcat manager credentials.
|
||
* Navigate to the "WAR file to deploy" section.
|
||
* Choose the `shorten.war` file using the file upload button.
|
||
* Click the "Deploy" button.
|
||
3. **Configure environment variables:**
|
||
|
||
Set environment variables for cloud-specific settings.
|
||
|
||
4. **Adjust Tomcat Configuration (Important):**
|
||
|
||
To ensure proper functionality, it's important to run the application on the root of the servlet container. If you're using Tomcat, add the following line to your `server.xml` configuration file within the `<Host>` section:
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<Context path="" docBase="shorten" reloadable="true"></Context>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This ensures that the application runs on the root context path. Adjust the `docBase` attribute according to your deployment directory.
|
||
|
||
5. **Start Tomcat:**
|
||
|
||
Start your Tomcat server.
|
||
|
||
```plaintext
|
||
/path/to/tomcat/bin/startup.sh # for Linux
|
||
/path/to/tomcat/bin/startup.bat # for Windows
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Access the application at `http://localhost:8080/`.
|
||
|
||
6. **Adjust Configuration (Optional):** If you need to customize the application configuration after deployment, you can find the **application.properties** file within the deployed WAR file. THe file can be accesses as :
|
||
|
||
```plaintext
|
||
vi /path/to/tomcat/webapps/your-app/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Usage
|
||
|
||
1. Shorten URLs by visiting the URL Shortener page.
|
||
2. Access analytics for each shortened URL.
|
||
3. Create and manage bio pages in the Bio section.
