Simple example application descrived in a couple of tutorials:

• Getting started with Spark: it is possible to create lightweight RESTful application also in Java
• Spark and Databases: Configuring Spark to work with Sql2o in a testable way

You need a PostgreSQL database. Run on it the code listed in the directory db. Done? Cool.

Now run the application. You can specify where to find your database, for example:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="--db-host myDBServer --db-port 5432"

See class BlogService for more details.

In the project there is also a Docker container for the DB, you can use it if you know what you are doing.

Launch it like this:

docker run -p 6000:5432 a3c93947f86e

and the application like this:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.args="--db-port 6000"
