To test the app:

1. Run in Payara or a suitable alternative.
2. Use Insomnia or Postman to make calls to the following URL's. Please observe the requirements for each url ie QueryParams or required objects.

Note that the system will boot with no data in the database, so you must add entries to test.

Entries must be JSON formatted objects. All fields are mandatory except phoneNumber. Objects should take the following form:

{ "firstName": "String, > 2 char", "lastName": "String, > 2 char", "email": "String", "phoneNumber": "String, > 9 && < 13 char" }
