# Hello World - Eclipse Vert.x sample
Learn how to deploy a simple web app that is written in Java and uses Eclipse
Vert.x. This samples uses Docker to build locally. The app reads in a `TARGET`
env variable and then prints "Hello World: \${TARGET}!". If a value for `TARGET`
is not specified, the "NOT SPECIFIED" default value is used.
Use this sample to walk you through the steps of creating and modifying the
sample app, building and pushing your container image to a registry, and then
deploying your app to your Knative cluster.
## Before you begin
You must meet the following requirements to complete this sample:
- A version of the Knative Serving component installed and running on your
Kubernetes cluster. Follow the
[Knative installation instructions](../../../install/README.md) if you need to
create a Knative cluster.
- The following software downloaded and install on your loacal machine:
- [Java SE 8 or later JDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html).
- [Eclipse Vert.x v3.5.4](https://vertx.io/).
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com) for building and pushing your container
image.
- [curl](https://curl.haxx.se/) to test the sample app after deployment.
- A [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) account where you can push your
container image.
**Tip**: You can clone the [Knatve/docs repo](https://github.com/knative/docs)
and then modify the source files. Alternatively, learn more by manually creating
the files youself.
## Creating and configuring the sample code
To create and configure the source files in the root of your working directory:
1. Create the `pom.xml` file:
```xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

</project>
```
1. Create the `HelloWorld.java` file in the
`src/main/java/com/example/helloworld` directory. The
`[ROOT]/src/main/java/com/example/helloworld/HelloWorld.java` file creates a
basic web server that listens on port `8080`.
```java
package com.example.helloworld;
import io.reactivex.Flowable;
import io.vertx.reactivex.core.AbstractVerticle;
import io.vertx.reactivex.core.http.HttpServer;
import io.vertx.reactivex.core.http.HttpServerRequest;
public class HelloWorld extends AbstractVerticle {
public void start() {
final HttpServer server = vertx.createHttpServer();
final Flowable<HttpServerRequest> requestFlowable = server.requestStream().toFlowable();
requestFlowable.subscribe(httpServerRequest -> {
String target = System.getenv("TARGET");
if (target == null) {
target = "NOT SPECIFIED";
}
httpServerRequest.response().setChunked(true)
.putHeader("content-type", "text/plain")
.setStatusCode(200) // OK
.end("Hello World: " + target);
});
server.listen(8080);
}
}
```
1. Create the `Dockerfile` file:
```docker
# Use fabric8's s2i Builder image.
# https://hub.docker.com/r/fabric8/s2i-java
FROM fabric8/s2i-java:2.0
# Service must listen to $PORT environment variable.
# This default value facilitates local development.
ENV PORT 8080
# Copy the JAR file to the deployment directory.
ENV JAVA_APP_DIR=/deployments
COPY target/helloworld-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /deployments/
```
1. Create the `service.yaml` file. You must specify your Docker Hub username in
`{username}`. You can also configure the `TARGET`, for example you can modify
the `Eclipse Vert.x Sample v1` value.
```yaml
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: helloworld-vertx
namespace: default
spec:
runLatest:
configuration:
revisionTemplate:
spec:
container:
image: docker.io/{username}/helloworld-vertx
env:
- name: TARGET
value: "Eclipse Vert.x Sample v1"
```
## Building and deploying the sample
To build a container image, push your image to the registry, and then deploy
your sample app to your cluster:
1. Use Docker to build your container image and then push that image to your
Docker Hub registry. You must replace the `{username}` variables in the
following commands with your Docker Hub username.
```shell
# Build the container on your local machine
docker build -t {username}/helloworld-vertx .
# Push the container to docker registry
docker push {username}/helloworld-vertx
```
1. Now that your container image is in the registry, you can deploy it to your
Knative cluster by running the `kubectl apply` command:
```shell
kubectl apply --filename service.yaml
```
Result: A service name `helloworld-vertx` is created in your cluster along
with the following resources:
- A new immutable revision for the version of the app that you just deployed.
- The following networking resources are created for your app:
- route
- ingress
- service
- load balancer
- Auto scaling is enable to allow your pods to scale up to meet traffic, and
also back down to zero when there is no traffic.
## Testing the sample app
To verify that your sample app has been successfully deployed:
1. View your the ingress IP address of your service by running the following
`kubectl get` command. Note that it may take sometime for the new service to
get asssigned an external IP address, especially if your cluster was newly
created.
```shell
# In Knative 0.2.x and prior versions, the `knative-ingressgateway` service was used instead of `istio-ingressgateway`.
INGRESSGATEWAY=knative-ingressgateway
# The use of `knative-ingressgateway` is deprecated in Knative v0.3.x.
# Use `istio-ingressgateway` instead, since `knative-ingressgateway`
# will be removed in Knative v0.4.
if kubectl get configmap config-istio -n knative-serving &> /dev/null; then
INGRESSGATEWAY=istio-ingressgateway
fi
kubectl get svc $INGRESSGATEWAY --namespace istio-system
```
Example result:
```shell
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
xxxxxxx-ingressgateway LoadBalancer 10.23.247.74 35.203.155.229 80:32380/TCP,443:32390/TCP,32400:32400/TCP 2d
```
1. Retrieve the URL for your service, by running the following `kubectl get`
command:
```shell
kubectl get services.serving.knative.dev helloworld-vertx --output=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,DOMAIN:.status.domain
```
Example result:
```shell
NAME DOMAIN
helloworld-vertx helloworld-vertx.default.example.com
```
1. Run the following `curl` command to test your deployed sample app. You must
replace the `{IP_ADDRESS}` variable the URL that your retrieve in the
previous step.
```shell
curl -H "Host: helloworld-vertx.default.example.com" http://{IP_ADDRESS}
```
Example result:
```shell
Hello World: Eclipse Vert.x Sample v1
```

## Removing the sample app deployment
To remove the sample app from your cluster, run the following `kubectl delete`
command:
```shell
kubectl delete --filename service.yaml
```
