VeraDemo - Blab-a-Gag

About

Blab-a-Gag is a fairly simple forum type application which allows:

  • users to post a one-liner joke
  • users to follow the jokes of other users or not (listen or ignore)
  • users to comment on other users messages (heckle)

URLs

/reset will reset the data in the database with a load of:

  • users
  • jokes
  • heckles

/feed shows the jokes/heckles that are relevant to the current user.

/blabbers shows a list of all other users and allows the current user to listen or ignore.

/profile allows the current user to modify their profile.

/login allows you to log in to your account

/register allows you to create a new user account

/tools shows a tools page that shows a fortune or lets you ping a host.

Build

To build Verademo Maven is required.

mvn package will build the web application and output a war file to target/verademo.war. This war file can be uploaded to Veracode for static analysis.

Configure

To run Verademo MySQL and Tomcat are required.

The simplest way to aquire these on MacOS is via Homebrew. Install Homebrew then:

brew install mysql tomcat

Database

Set up a database in MySQL called blab with a user of blab and password z2^E6J4$;u;d

Run

Deploy the build output war file to Tomcat.

Open /reset in your browser and follow the instructions to prep the database

Login with a username/password as defined in Utils.java

AWS Deployment

Verademo will also run out-of-the-box in AWS. Simply upload the target/verademo.war file into a Tomcat Elastic Beanstalk environment (with associated Amazon RDS). The database credentials listed above are not required when running in AWS.

On the first environment deployment, a script will automatically setup the database. Subsequent application re-deploys (without environment re-deploy), or application server restarts will not alter the database.
