TicketMonster - a JBoss example

TicketMonster is an online ticketing demo application that gets you started with JBoss technologies, and helps you learn and evaluate them.

Here are a few instructions for building and running it. You can learn more about the example from the tutorial.

Updating the Performance dates

NOTE: This step is optional. It is necessary only if you want to update the dates of the Performances in the import.sql script in an automated manner. Updating the performance dates ensure that they are always set to some timestamp in the future, and ensures that all performances are visible in the Monitor section of the TicketMonster application.

1. Run the update_import_sql Perl script. You'll need the DateTime, DateTime::Format::Strptime and Tie::File Perl modules. These are usually available by default in your Perl installation.

    $ perl update_import_sql.pl src/main/resources/import.sql
   

Building TicketMonster

TicketMonster can be built from Maven, by runnning the following Maven command:

mvn clean package

Building TicketMonster with tests

If you want to run the Arquillian tests as part of the build, you can enable one of the two available Arquillian profiles.

For running the tests in an already running application server instance, use the arq-wildfly-remote profile.

mvn clean package -Parq-wildfly-remote

If you want the test runner to start an application server instance, use the arq-wildfly-managed profile. You must set up the JBOSS_HOME property to point to the server location, or update the src/main/test/resources/arquillian.xml file.

mvn clean package -Parq-wildfly-managed

Building TicketMonster with Postgresql (for OpenShift)

If you intend to deploy into OpenShift, you can use the postgresql and openshift profile

mvn clean package -Ppostgresql,openshift,default

Building TicketMonster with MySQL (for OpenShift)

If you intend to deploy into OpenShift, you can use the mysql and openshift profiles

mvn clean package -Pmysql,openshift,deafult

Running TicketMonster

You can run TicketMonster into a local JBoss EAP 6.3 instance or on OpenShift.

Running TicketMonster locally

Start JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3

1. Open a command line and navigate to the root of the JBoss server directory.

2. The following shows the command line to start the server with the web profile:

    For Linux:   JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
    For Windows: JBOSS_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
   

Deploy TicketMonster

1. Make sure you have started the JBoss Server as described above.

2. Type this command to build and deploy the archive into a running server instance.

    mvn clean package wildfly:deploy
   

   (You can use the arq-wildfly-remote profile for running tests as well)

3. This will deploy target/ticket-monster.war to the running instance of the server.

4. Now you can see the application running at http://localhost:8080/ticket-monster
