Distribute a standalone IPT with embedded jetty

Open mdoering opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

In many places it would be nice to have a standalone application so one does not need to install & run a servlet container. Installation becomes much simpler if only java is needed.

In addition to a war package the IPT also as a shaded jar with an embedded (jetty?) server, accepting at least a port via commandline configs

Thank you for this suggestion. By coincidence we have been making progress on this related idea today: https://github.com/gbif/ipt/issues/1304

Thanks, that's good. It only solve the problem for CentOS machines though. In my case it was Windows. I would still think it is well worth to do a standalone version not relying on any external container. Just as we do for the GBIF webservices.
