Please refer to HTTP API use-case for more information.

Executable example

Check-out, compile and run:

$ git clone https://github.com/vespa-engine/sample-apps.git
$ export VESPA_SAMPLE_APPS=`pwd`/sample-apps
$ cd $VESPA_SAMPLE_APPS/http-api-using-searcher && mvn clean package
$ docker run --detach --name vespa --hostname vespa-container --privileged \
  --volume $VESPA_SAMPLE_APPS:/vespa-sample-apps --publish 8080:8080 vespaengine/vespa

Wait for the configserver to start:

$ docker exec vespa bash -c 'curl -s --head http://localhost:19071/ApplicationStatus'

Deploy the application:

$ docker exec vespa bash -c '/opt/vespa/bin/vespa-deploy prepare /vespa-sample-apps/http-api-using-searcher/target/application.zip && \
  /opt/vespa/bin/vespa-deploy activate'

Wait for the application to start:

$ curl -s --head http://localhost:8080/ApplicationStatus

Feed data into application:

$ docker exec vespa bash -c 'java -jar /opt/vespa/lib/jars/vespa-http-client-jar-with-dependencies.jar --verbose \
  --file /vespa-sample-apps/http-api-using-searcher/feed.json --host localhost --port 8080'

Test the application:

$ curl -s 'http://localhost:8080/demo?extraTerm=something'

Shutdown and remove the container:

$ docker rm -f vespa
