LTI 1 and 2 java starter app

IMS LTI 1 and 2 based starter (sample) application written using Java and Spring Boot

The goal is to have a Java based web app which can serve as the basis (or starting point) for building a fully compliant LTI 1 or 2 based tool without having to manage the complexities of LTI 2 or come up with a strategy for handling the various types of data storage.

Parts based on the data structures and code in tsugi (https://github.com/csev/tsugi) which is a Multi-tenant learning tool hosting platform (http://www.tsugi.org)

Build

This will produce a starter.war file in the target directory which can be placed into any standard servlet container.

mvn install

Quick Run

You can run the app in place to try it out without having to install and deploy a servlet container.

mvn clean install spring-boot:run

Then go to the following default URL:

http://localhost:8080/

You can access the H2 console for default in-memory DB (JDBC URL: jdbc:h2:mem:AZ, username: sa, password: (blank)) at:

http://localhost:8080/console

Customizing

Use the application.properties to control various aspects of the Spring Boot application (like setup your own database connection). Use the logback.xml to adjust and control logging.

Debugging

To enable the debugging port (localhost:8000) when using spring-boot:run, use the maven profile: -Pdebug. Then you can attach any remote debugger (eclipse, intellij, etc.) to localhost:8000. NOTE that the application will pause until you connect the debugger to it.

mvn clean install spring-boot:run -Pdebug
