JavaFX REST Archetype

A Maven archetype for generating a basic JavaFX REST client-server starter project using Jetty and SpringFramework.

Usage

 mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.zenjava -DarchetypeArtifactId=javafx-rest-archetype

This will generate a multi-module Maven project with three modules:

  • client module: a simple JavaFX client that makes REST calls onto the server
  • server module: a simple SpringMVC REST server
  • common module: common classes shared between client and server (such as data beans)

After creating the project you can build it using Maven commands. From the generated base project directory type:

mvn clean install

Run the server from the base directory of the server module using:

mvn jetty:run

Run the client from the base directory of the client module (using mvn jfx:run is deprecated, because it does not respect launcher-settings).

Development and Deployment

This is just a quick starter. You most likely will want to open the base level POM in your favorite IDE and develop your project to your needs.

To build a deployment WAR for your server, run the following from the base project directory:

mvn clean install

And then copy the WAR file from the target directory and deploy this to your web server (e.g. Tomcat).

To build a deployment bundle for your client, run one of the JavaFX distribution mechanisms from the client module base directory, such as:

mvn clean jfx:jar

Which will build an executable JAR that you can execute(e.g. via double-clicking) to launch your client application.
