## 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/yourusername/your-repo.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.
3. ```plaintext
mysql -u your_username -p < path/to/db_schema.sql
```
4. Update the application.properties file:
> Update the application.properties file in the src/main/resources directory with your database configuration.
1. Build and run the application:
```plaintext
Ccd your-repo
mvn spring-boot:run
```
2. 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/`.
### 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.
